David Newton Predicts There to Be A Complete Overhaul of the Panthers RB Position Through Draft and Free Agency

Don’t see why cap would be cut

He's got ball protection issues.  Shows up over and over.

Kerryon Johnson might be a good fit

[RumHam]

What scares me is that this isn't a priority, but it's fuging Hurney. He'd probably bring DWill out of retirement.

he's whatever he needs to be...great hands, playmaker...yeah you right  don't need him...

Nowhere did I say he wasn't good. What I did say was that he plays the same position as it's being suggested that CMC play and, like corners, some receivers are better in the slot than outside and vice versa. Considering that Landry plays 3/4 of his snaps in the slot it's indisputable overlap and doesn't seem to make much sense since he may not be the same player from outside.

I've no issue with CMC playing the slot or Landry playing the slot but if the plan is for CMC to be there more often then WR money would seem to be better spent on someone who is proven to do well on the outside.

I'm still laughing at y'all hating when the OL got absolutely no push all season. When the OL blocked well, our RBs ate. When they didn't, we struggled. Problem isn't at RB, it's OL

I still think Stewart has something left.  My gut tells me that the scheme (read option) isn't his forte. 

I want to see them line up run Armah through first and Stewart to follow.  I bet his YPC would go back up. 

The read option used to be pretty good but as defenses always do.  They figure it out and things just get congested at the line.

I think Stewart could give you 10-15 good carries a game behind a fullback. This read option based running game has completely misused Stewart over the last couple of years. 

Most of Stewart’s runs this season weren’t from the read option though

lol...he can play any spot...don't box yourself in...a play  maker is a play maker...he definitely would be a great asset to this team...the only negative is the cost

[Jon Snow]

If by complete he means Stew and Fozzy then I could see it.  Complete as in everyone is just retarded.  No way should CAP be cut until that bruiser of a replacement is found.  Stew and Fozzy should have already been cut.

Would keep Stew if he restructures.  I think he has a lot left.  I agree his problems this year were the scheme, predictable 1st down run up the middle, no downfield passing game, etc.  I too would love to see him with a FB.  He might be excited enough about turner to stay for less....if given the opportunity.

I agree.   Stewart is still a beast.  If they don't fix our Oline it doesn't matter who we get.  Adrian Peterson in is prime would do no better.

Box myself in... are you even reading what I'm writing? I think somebody like Allen Robinson or Sammy Watkins would be a much better fit and value if CMC moves to the slot, not because Landry isn't good (he is) but because they're proven on the outside. Robinson is a bit more of a question mark coming off the injury but that's where the value part comes in.

On topic, if CMC goes to the slot then that would leave a big hole in the backfield if every other RB is gone too. Keeping him back there would be a much better fit for a guy like Landry and that scenario would make a ton of sense.

Nyheim Hines just declared for the draft, could be a late round pick.

Oh yeah, 

 

I really would like to have Jaylen Samuels too. 

[Peppers90 NC]

David Newton said it, so it will probably be Stewart, CMC and Fozzy again next year plus a rookie as Marty as suggested RB is crazy deep in this draft
