This is why I think the era of running/mobile qb's in the NFL may be on the chopping block.  Dude took a ton of hits his rookie and soph seasons and now cannot stay healthy.  I think all of the hits add up over time.  It probably affects players differently but they all add to the toll.  You cannot take those brutal shots like he did (and Cam as well) and not expect to have major repercussions from it. 

Mahomes got paid not that long ago. QBs with legit mobility are a coveted asset. I don't think that's going anywhere, as it is an entrenched part of the game. 

Perhaps some franchises will slow down on designed runs for QBs, but they're not going to stop QBs from running in order to move the chains. Teams are just going to rely on their QBs being smart enough to avoid big hits, and that's probably the way that it should be.

Do that many current teams even have designed run plays for quarterbacks anymore beyond the goal line or 3rd and 4th down situations? Mobile quarterbacks are still going to be very much a part of the future of the league but running qb's like Cam with a substantial number of designed runs are likely to become less common. In any event there is a balance to be had. The Panthers did not find that balance and they failed to build with surrounding talent. Thus the results we ended up with.

Mahomes also got really hurt running as well.  I think mobile qbs that can move around in the pocket and escape pressure is a plus I am just talking about the ones like wentz, cam, lamar etc that use their speed as a designed play are going to be phased out to a degree.  It just ruins careers.  I mean if we could go back and do it over again I would honestly think like Cam would run 50%(?) less if we knew it was going to prolong his time here.  RR ruined him by not having a line and running the crap out of him.  Same with wentz and Jackson is not far behind if they keep running him that much as well.

QB mobility is a positive. It can help you avoid the big hits too. It's just not a smart idea to make your QB your primary short yardage runner like we did with Cam. Or in Baltimore's, your primary runner period. Lamar Jackson is going to have a short shelf life.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
