oh and btw deangelo and jstew are probably both gone next year...

Build up the oline and then we will be fine with serviceable running backs.Double Trouble only means double trouble killing our cap space with bloated contacts and little production.DG has started to purge the problem with the, but a soon to be 31 year old back and the other with gimpy ankles isn't on our future.

I think most likely Stewart is traded. DWill may stick around some way or another.

stewart's contract really isn't all that tradeable.

 

we're stuck with a very high priced RB who missed 7 games last year and who will miss at least 7 weeks this year and might end up on IR.

i like how you try to ignore that putting so much of a premium on RBs hasn't really resulted in many winning seasons.

I like how you ignore Rivera and CHUD.

So long MOD. I have a class I have to go to.

[rayzor]

Even Enmitt Smith wasn't a Top10 RB in his rookie year.

 

this is your answer? lol

To be fair, when they were drafted we were running Foxy's system which needed great depth at RB. I think the extension of Stewart was meant as a precursor to moving or cutting D-will but now with Stewart's ankles that put a dent in that plan.

Now I think something will happen this next offseason. What happens I think depends on this season and how it shakes out and how the team and D-will perform.

But I do believe that one if not both will be gone after this season.

 

 

Not sure about the Fox's system thing, and it needing more depth than any other system.

 

I feel it was more of a "can't miss" pick than anything else.  RB's, compared to WR's and DT's are much easier to draft and say "hey look, I nail all my first round picks".

 

Hurney did this with LB's as well.

Your stametemt was ludicrous.

how much success did fox have with it?

and you can't spell.

If it weren't for double trouble we'd be -0.33 instead of about 0.33 the past few years!

I'm sure they would love to trade their competence in winning games with the KCs and the Carolinas for their competence when it comes to the running game if they had the chance

 

8 of the top 11 teams in rushing last year won 10 games or more and one won the Super Bowl

[GreatPoupon]

you don't NEED studs at WR or RB you NEED a stud at QB to elevate their games. 

[Jangler]

The minute both of them are gone all these motherfugers that have put so much effort into defending them are going to automatically get 100% behind the idea they're gone as if they knew the whole time we had no direction with them on the team and conveniently forget everything they said about giving them more carries and how much the running game would help Cam and so on

 

The Panthers will do what the Panthers will do, I have no say in what they do, so why bitch about it? (other than to have fun with it)  Never get attached to any players...too much.

In Foxy's system we were almost always in the top 10 in rushing attempts and ran the ball at about a 2/1 ratio over passing.

 

You need depth because if you are going to run the ball that much running backs are going to wear down or get hurt.

 

But you need great running backs as evidenced by the difference and effectiveness of our running game between Davis to Foster to D-Will/Jstew.

Yea and three of them ran an offense that everybody hated watching us run (and are so glad to have heard us abandon using even part-time) and the worst rushing team out of the 8 of them won the Superbowl

And then last year the very worst team in the league in rushing won the superbowl
