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

[pantherclaw]

As Stew's biggest fan, it is time to get a new feature back.  Stew can could be retained as the short yardage specialist, but I won't hold out hope that it happens.

Fozzy needs to go.

CAP can be brought back for training camp, but no promise of a roster spot. 

Norv's offenses have ALWAYS had a successful Bell cow.

Fozzys skill set is too redundant to CMCs

Only if he loses the Ron Rivera nekkid pics.

RB is very deep in this years draft.  No need to get one early unless Barkley falls, haha

[bobcat91]

Keep CMC and cut the others. Get a FA and draft Michel from Georgia. He is fast and runs hard between the tackles.

I watched Chubb not too impressed but Michel fyes!

Chubb was on his way to being an all-time great until he hurt his knee his sophmore season. Although he probably won't ever live up to what he could have been he's still more than serviceable. However, my theory is that you should never take a RB that stays all 4 yrs of college. Not because they may not be any good, but because RB lifespans are so short. Everyone takes a huge dip after 30 (see Stewart, Johnathan for example). I'd rather draft someone just as serviceable that had 1 or 2 less years of tread in college.

The others need to go except CMC and frankly he should be in the slot 

Upgtades are needed to CAP and Fozzy and Stewart

it is past time for this team to get young and fast

Plus guys who are exclusively power backs aren't super coveted in the league anymore other than a few exceptions.  With CMC we have the luxury of not having to reach for his other half.

Look for Hurney to cut Fozzy Whittaker and save 1.2 million while also giving CAP more playing time.

[Fright]

This year proved that solid RBs can be found deep into the draft. I’m totally down with investing a pick into one.

[Fox007]

Uh that's great actually. CMC is the only one wroth keeping at this point and upgrades can be found all over. Sounds like this could be a great offseason.

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

No, it's the Oline when Cam ain't kicking it. When a RB falters, has nothing to do with blocking.

[Snake]

With a deep RB draft it could definitely happen. Get a power back to complement CMac

[brandon_87]

It's not rocket science. We invested a high first round in CMC, he'll be here to stay.

Stewart is too old and slowed down incredibly the last 2 years, he's gone.

Fozzy is literally less then average and has no business near our team, especially with the Norv offense, he's gone.

CAP got a few looms and did absolutely nothing with them. Running backs are a dime a dozen in the draft and almost all have more to offer then CAP, he'll be gone too.

So I really want a blue Stewart jersey before he goes -- does anyone have a clue where I could look (other than Chinese websites)?  It's not on Panthers.com or NFLShop or anywhere that I can find
