Whenever John Lynch did our games in the broadcast booth with FOX, he was always greatly complementary. He always seemed favorable to Carolina whereas Ronde not at all.

John Lynch, GM of 49ers knows the team is more than an elite RB away from being a good overall team. They don't have a QB. Fournette is a luxury they can't afford right now instead more picks would be beneficial for that particular team. For us, one elite player would be beneficial.

1-53 is pretty stacked, guys that get cut are good on our team.

Yeah, we're going to move up to #2 and take our game changer. Fournette is going to be sick nasty. Stewart, Fournette, Stewart, Fournette. That defense whoever it is will be punched in the jaw just constantly. By the second half they will be so demoralized and our receivers will go absolutely hard as fug too. Then we're in position on offense to do whatever the fug we wish. 

fug this idea that drafting Fournette means a slow lumbering offense. No, drafting Fournette means, think back to 2011 offense but with a more mature, less turn-over prone, proven MVP, Cam Newton

In 2011 we were electric on offense at times. We were THIRD in rushing. Cam threw for 4,000 yards.

So this, no don't draft Fournette, we'll be a slow, lumbering offense from the 1920's why do we want to do that when we have Cam ?

No, trading up for Fournette tells the NFL we intend to run all over you. All over. We won't be the third best rush team like in 2011 we'll be the best. And when we're stomping on teams on the ground, Cam is able to throw for 4,000 yards. It wasn't because of Shockey. Olsen nowadays alone totals their stats together in 2011 - it was the run game and Steve Smith

Question: People that don't think we're trading up for Fournette: Do you even know Carolina Panthers football is predicated on the run first? Don't tell me run first will inhibit Cam we we're run first in 2011 and Cam threw for 4,000 yards

We were run first in 2011 and Cam threw for 4,000 yards

We were run first in 2011 and Cam threw for 4,000 yards

We were run first in 2011 and Cam threw for 4,000 yards

We're a smash mouth football team we need a smash mouth back. Luckily there is one in the draft, but he's likely a top 4 player on all draft boards in the NFL so we'll have to trade up. We ain't no team looking to build a roster where we need 8 picks. Gettleman hinted he's trading up by saying there is a lot of interesting characters toward the back end of the draft too. Don't get mad at Gettleman for trading up because he'll be able to find some interesting characters in the back end of the draft.

Fournette is better than Elliott

Cam threw for over 4000 yards because we threw the ball 519 times in 2011.  We rushed the ball 445 times (and a good number of those were Cam scrambles on pass plays).

Because Cam threw more than we ran doesn't mean we were not run first

Cam was able to throw a lot for big chunk gains because we had established the run already. Once we beat teams down on the ground running the ball we could just give Cam the ball and tell him sling it. Key is you have to establish it first.

You aren't thinking about this deep enough.

Say week 1 by the first half we have 150 yards rushing.

Other team knows you can run at will obviously. So now the pass opens up all second half. Could see 25 pass attempts in the half due to the first half rushing success. It doesn't take 40 carries to establish the run. It takes ... how good are your RB's ? Stewart and Fournette could demoralize a team in pretty few carries, thus opening up the pass.

Consistent threat for yards on the ground greatly opens up the pass. If teams know you can't consistently gain yards on the ground it's easy. When they know you can get yards passing or rushing it becomes impossible.
