Sanders has a groin injury. These things can linger on and easily get tweaked. They already said that he probably won't play the rest of preseason.

Would it not behoove them to sign another back just in case. Someone who can step in and do the job if needed. Bryce needs some form of a running game to keep the opposing D honest.

If Sanders is sidelined with the groin injury, Chuba and Blackshear aren't the answer.

You saying they aren't the answer doesn't mean they aren't the answer. But let's say you're right; who are we signing that's so much better? Who is the answer?

Dumbasses should have kept the bruiser from last year.

Pass protection, audibles, route running, hands…..all things that are pretty important if you got a rookie QB.  And Miles’ history on that stuff is checkered.  I’d like to bring in a cut vet that can step in to those basics and be reliable for Bryce.   Miles’ also has a history of getting knicked up.

Reports out of camp is that Johnson and Herbert are going to get the most opportunities this year. Foreman will only serve a short yardage role.

Think he wanted more money than we were offering here.

Probably also worth noting that his running style isn't one that has a huge amount of longevity in the NFL.

Gosh, it sure would have been nice if we kept Foreman  and had him to take on the load since he wasn't expensive at all judging by what the Bears signed him for. I will probably bitch about not resigning Foreman the entire season as he belonged with us. He had all the characteristics of a Panthers redemption story cast away by another team to find success here.

      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.
