Panthers sign Travaris Cadet

[Devil Doc]

At first I was like, that is a dumb decision. Then im like, well maybe they cut him for another defensive player, then the signing comes. Im still like Huh?

Surprised nobody mentioned that Cadet was App St's starting QB after Armanti Edwards.

Yeah, not true. He was Armanti's backup in 09 and then converted to RB in 2010. He was a god awful passer, but good running the ball

 

I'll also never understand this board's hatred for one school and any players the Panthers sign from there

I don't think people hate App State unless it's a school rival thing.

The Armanti Edwards draft pick left a bad taste in a lot of people's mouths though.

Won’t make a difference at all. CJ wasn’t doing poo. Worst part of this is we didn’t trade him. That is all. CAP can do what CJ was doing.

You can't be serious,  the man barely got any carries!! Madness this is to look at the man's stats and say he didn't do nothing.

I think this makes sense at the very least that

1) CAP can do what CJ was doing

2) Cadet offers some inside intel on a team that beat us 3x last season 

It doesn't matter what CJ is capable of, he's not better than CMC, and wasn't going to play. I think he and a lot of us saw a running back duo approach with CJ replacing Stewart. However they've been featuring CMC and the kid is answering the call. 

This has the potential to work out fine for each side. I think we all like CAP enough as a runner who's game is similar to CJ's, and now we have a back with a similar set to CMC. I'm not a huge fan of the move BUT it makes some sense. 

this is the best take so far

Isn't Cadet the guy who backed up Pierre Thomas a few seasons ago for the Saints?

Can he rush the passer???

[Adb6368]

It doesn’t matter whether he is better than Anderson (he’s not). It matters whether or not he can rub norvs offense better. We may have a back that can spell cmc for a few plays now so he doesn’t have to retire at 25.

He almost led a comeback as a QB against ECU back in 09...good times.

Agreed. That and the fiz's cap move theory helps make some sense if it.
