Is Victor the future at FB?

That's not a bad idea. He could learn from the best with Kuhn. He don't have break-away speed but he's good in small spaces. He can handle LBs & Safeties in the blocking schemes...opens the playbook bc of his ballhandling abilities. They are gonna need to find a way to keep him & Edmunds away from other teams. I just think both have "it" for this offense.

I don't think he has the size. Regardless of how the NFL evolves, why even have a fullback if not to block? Otherwise you're just running a two running back set.

2 back set is what it would be except 1 back could carry out the role of the FB in both I & split formations. Plus I've seen CAR's RBs (other than Tolbert) run block for Douche Nozzle.

Speaking of Tolbert, 5'9" 246 lbs 4.75 40 yd out of college...Victor 5'7" 227 lbs 4.70 40 yd. 2 inches shorter & 20 lbs lighter. And Tolbert ran HB against us and a few others over the years. If anything, Victor is more like Tolbert than anyone I can think of. Tolbert was quick in short spaces & definitely plowed folks. Long term, post-Brees with a Russell Wilson-type QB would be in Victor's wheelhouse...unless Drew plays til he's 50.
