Dalvin Cook: The ultimate Weapon

[Ricky Spanish]

The dude that did the scouting report on Fournette just released his video on Dalvin Cook:

 

Talk amongst yourselves. 

[Malt Liquor]

I hope we end up with Cook or Fournette. It would take our offense to another level.

[Nails]

Won't be a Panther.

I just got finished posting about him in the other thread.

He fits the the panthers scheme better than Fournette

If we run a lot of Read Option- sure. If we move away from that and get a true FB then I disagree

I don't want the Panthers to select him at 8.  I like his elusiveness and ability to play out of the shotgun, read-option style stuff, but if we're selecting a RB that high in the draft, he needs to be a player that can be used any down of the game.  He isn't good enough in short yardage for me liking and his pass blocking isn't a strength either.  Pass. 

[Sasquatch]

Never will be a Panther.

"SOURCES TELL US

 "Fumbles and arrests are a bad combination. He's got a lot of ability but he's got on the field problems with ball security and multiple arrests off of it. You have to decide if he will be responsible with more money and more time on his hands. If you have any doubts, just wait around for another running back because there will be plenty this year." - NFC executive"

Everyone is dying to get a real FB but I just don't see us over hauling our entire offense to fit a RB. Even in Cam's rookie season where we had the most success running the ball it came out of single back, two TE sets and shotgun, we hardly ever used a FB in a traditional sense.

Not a good pass blocker, he's definitely not getting picked and I definitely don't want him getting Cam rocked

I don't know that we're necessarily going to "overhaul" the offense, as much as we are going to move away from the read-option. That's happening. Rivera already has said it multiple times. The thing is though, it's not an "evolution" to "fit a RB," it is about minimizing Cam's use as the primary rusher in the offense. So, in a way, it's more about Cam than it will be about a new RB. We'll arguably be getting closer to a traditional Panthers type of offense. Get ready to see more two-back sets.

People don't know what Dalvin is like now. He is a leader in the locker room. He had trouble his freshman year, and I don't think it's enough to deter us. I don't trust Fournette, but then again I've only seen Dalvin play. He fits the offense. Also, his field vision is ridiculous. And he can catch out of the backfield (ha dude said it in the video as i typed it). But his cut, his power, his quickness for hitting the hole, we need this guy. Fournette seems more finesse. Plus we got KB.

We can move away from the read option and still run out of the shotgun. We have never used two back sets in a traditional sense since Cam has been drafted I don't expect us to start 7 years later. At the end of the day Cam feels most comfortable in the shotgun running a no huddle offense, we need a RB to help him in that sense.

Too much risk of him sitting on the couch and collecting Greg Hardy-style paychecks, nursing nothing but bruised knuckles.

Pass on him.
