yeah that sounds about right to me. Cam's run can change games, Tolbert is efficient, Williams a threat to break a big one, and Stewart falls forward. 

 

I still remember 2005 when we were basically down to the some no name scrub in the Seattle playoff game. Lots of running backs is always a good problem to have.

In a week you can switch Williams and Stew. Once Stewy gets his legs under him he will add more to the run game. 

Williams, one of my fav people on the team, doesn't have the speed he had years past. His cuts are quickly becoming a step slow.

Couldn't disagree more.  I think he still has that same burst, and he's shown it several times this season.

Spot on with DWill, he HAS lost a step, but the biggest issue the guy just can't create holes, if the offensive line isn't a beast, he just dances around and barely gets positive yardage.  The other guys at least can get a couple yards or sometimes create holes.  DWill was a monster in 2008 when half the posters on the huddle could have had a 5ypc with that line lol.

Right now, if the game was on the line with three yards to go, I'd only trust three rushers to get those harsh yards.

As much as I love D-Will, he isn't one of them.

1. Cam

2. Tolbert

3. Stewart

 

I love me some DeAngelo. But, Tolbert and Stewart both need more touches. Heck, everytime Tolbert runs the ball he seems to get 2 or 3 yards after initial contact. Williams goes down instantly, it seems when he is first touched. We would be much better off pounding the rock with Tolbert and Stewart and using DeAngelo on 3rd downs. The other team's defenses are stacking the box with 8 at least, Williams isn't going anywhere.

Deangelo and Sewart have both been anemic. Stewart gets stuffed as much as Deangelo does.

 

Stewart can get the extra yard up the middle but Williams gets the longer runs when he can find space and has better hands. This has been true for as long as they have played together and isn't that different now.

 

Tolbert is a great situational back.

I was gonna start a thread on how we need more production at some point from our rb's. I'm not panicking but it would be good to see.

Quietly I was not sure how the offense would adjust to Stew coming back.

But if used right you could treat the rb's like relievers in baseball. Have some set up men middle reliever types then a closer.

Running wise the Panthers are built nicely to play while ahead.

But anytime you can improve while on a hot streak you can't complain.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By Icege · Posted

      One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃
