Joique Bell anyone?

I personally feel RB has the most questionable depth for us going into this season. I have the pleasure of watching the poo lions because I live in Michigan, and last year was not a representation of his ability, the oline was horrendous. When the oline came to play in 2014 he reminded me a lot of J Stew. He's only entering his 5th season, and he himself has made note that 3 teams have offers on the table for his services, and I wonder if we are one of them. Would you be objective to this small but could be crucial move, considering Stewarts injury history? Or are you more confident in Tolbert and CAP handling the duties if an injury (knock on wood) were to occur?

For those that haven't seen much of him, he does have some punch to his runs and decent speed.

Might be the only one here that isn't confident. Tolbert has great intangibles, and is great in a short yardage pinch. Beyond that, I don't have a ton of confidence in our run game if (hypothetically) Stew were out. In the only regular season game we lost last year, CAP was the leading rusher.

I'd be fine with bringing him in, if the price is right. It would be silly not to give him a shot if he's cheap. Just pick the best in camp.

I like him, but we've got enough competition in the RB group already. There are teams out there that could put him right into rotation, though.

Me, I just couldn't see letting one of our guys go for him. No slam on Joique, but I like who we have right now.

He's still unsigned.

There's probably a reason for that.

If he has three offers on the table as he claims he does then that reason is because he doesn't want to sign, not because no one wants him. To your point though, I'll agree that it could be because no one thinks he's worth what he thinks he's worth.

    • It was great that Brady was able to step in as our center on short notice... but center overall needs addressing this offseason.  Getting worked up about the QB has been a Huddle tradition since I've joined almost 20 years ago. Jake Delhomme is not a franchise QB. Start Chris Weinke. David Carr will push Jake. David Carr crumbles at the slighest sniff of pressure. Matt Moore may be the future. Matt Moore doesn't care about being the starter. Clausen is a limp pickle. Cam can't win close games. Cam can't throw an accurate pass. Cam should've dived on that fumble. Cam should've not gone after that Chargers player and hurt his shoulder. Teddy can't throw past the sticks. Darnold's a dumbass. Mayfield can't throw a pass without it being batted down. In other words, I can't get that worked up nowadays because I've heard most of it before already. I will say BY's getting more of the Jake Delhomme Huddle hot takes now, which I'll take as a positive improvement from where he was before.  
    • I'm usually pro tank in situations like these. Like when Rhule was fired, I wanted us to tank hard and trade anybody worth a damn and just continue losing. I also wanted us to tank that last Saints game in like 2020 I wanna say to get a better pick. However, this year just seems different. I feel like we have something with this coaching staff and building some culture and personality. At some point you really do have to figure out how to win close games. This year feels like that year when Cam and Co just kept losing close games and went like 6-10. Then the following year we just showed out. And like others have said, we've been so ass at drafting that it has changed my whole mindset about wanting to tank and lose games. Fug that, I just want a win wherever I can get it now. Yesterday felt great!
    • At this point I'm indifferent to wins/losses and solely interested in seeing team and staff development on the field. In general, growing teams need to stay mindful when winning certain types of games to not let it mask continued on-field deficiencies, whatever they may be for a given team. That's where the quality of the coaching and FO come in and that's where the rubber will continue to meet the road if Carolina pulls out more of these types of games. This season is nearly a wrap. My metric for success was continued improvement and development on the field and I think it's fair to say that that is happening (degree is debatable, but it is happening), a stark change from prior regimes. Improving this offseason will be no small order and time will tell how things shake out.
