Ryan Grant

Grant would add some speed and flash
to a vanilla running attack.

NY's stepchild
Here's hoping that GS3 under center, and Coples on the edge works out.

I like Ryan Grant, but speed and flash are not an accurate description of his skill set. He is a grinder when at his best. Think Thomas Jones or Green-Ellis. He is a pick up 3 yards type and then fall forward for a 4th. There is nothing flashy about him but he can be effective IF healthy. I get the feeling most teams think he is finished.

Tasty morsels to be found almost everywhere in the NFL discard pile.

I am not 100% sure Damien Woody is really done either.

F*ck Ryan Grant

What about Jonathan Stewart?

The Panthers already have DeAngelo Williams and they signed Mike Tolbert in the offseason.

Is Stewat elite?

No

But he brings a helluva lot more to the table than anyone else in this backfield.

If Grant is healthy he is actually better than Greene. He is faster than Greene and can actually catch the ball out of the backfield.

I agree, I think Stewart would be a nice fit to this offense.
