A solution to our backup RB and eventual replacement of SJAX?

I hadn't thought of this option before and I know I haven't seen anyone on TST bring this up before so I thought I would. I have gone through the options of picking up Reggie Bush, Ronnie Brown, and Darren Sproles through free agency and I still would love for all of those guys to be on the Rams. What I had just recently stumbled upon is the amount of great running backs that the Carolina Panthers have in Mike Goodson, Deangelo Williams, and Jonathan Stewart. Last year Williams went out with an injury and completely opened the door for Goodson and Stewart to show their stuff. Both succeeded very well in that category considering how terrible the Panthers were last year, all 3 of those runningbacks were bright spots in a dark, dark dungeon for the Panthers. I don't see the Panthers keeping all three runningbacks on their roster, which leaves another phenomenal runningback on the free agent market. If we were to pick up either Goodson or Stewart, they would not only be a great compliment to Jackson but could take over eventually as the #1 Running back on the Rams. What do you guys think?

I like Stewart, Bush, and Sproles.

But I would just get Noel Devine and spend money on a guard and defensive tackle.

Don't forget to turn your swag on today.

No way the Panthers give up Stewart.

Williams is the one who’s likely gone, and already made it clear he’d love to play for Miami. They definitely have a nice group of RBs, and even RB4 Tyrell Sutton has game, but I don’t think any of them are making their way to the Rams.

Sproiles, Bush, or Brown

I'd say Bush

A person just can’t get enough Bush

after reading the comments the sjax said about not wanting to share carries with a rookie...

just imagine if the rams signed one of the above mentioned? the rams would open up a whole new can of worms there. dont know what his problem is, i like the fire, and the heart, and all, but he jackson does have a history of injuries. and now the comment that he still would like to play forthe cowboys? i dont like where this is heading fellas.
