CRA

I mean it’s not like a Matt Rhule/Sam Darnold caliber grievance. It really isn’t about Freeman. Just thinking about how this brain trust might over abuse CMC in a lost season and after they have admitted throwing the football isn’t wise anymore. I mean even this year we have seen CMC overused and on the field late in games that were well over.

We got a free ticket giveaway for the PJ UNDEFEATED Walker hype train! Everyone is welcome. All aboard!

enjoy the magic while you can folks! Bathe in the greatness of never having a lost a single NFL start!

Everyone in house knew about this injury last week. Sam acknowledged it in the post game and didn’t want to talk about it. will be a fun watch to see jittery and over talking Rhule explain why he could play Sam vs Patriots but has to shelf him now.

It doesn’t take 5 years in today’s NFL to be a playoff team. 3 of our 4 HCs were in the playoffs in 3. The other guy fired. That should be the bar.

I mean the Lions season isn’t over either. But yeah, Freeman actually has the 2nd best ypc behind CMC. Almost a tie. 3.8 vs 3.7. He is by far the most built RB for punishment and that is what our game plan is going to be. To smash the RBs into DLs with a D playing it. do we need him? Again, no. We can run CMC over and over between the tackles. Hubbard too. In a wasted season, I just think you should limit the pounding your future actually takes. Especially the pointless pounding that some games present.

You keep talking about passing protection, 3rd down RB, etc …like we will want to attempt that. That’s glass breaking emergency play at this point. I’m talking to finish out a long season attempting to run all game vs fronts playing it. Some good ones too. Our guys are going to get hammered. I’m talking about preserving and limiting hits on guys we actually value after this year. season is over.

I think CMC is great and I love Chuba. But if the season is already over? I would want to limit how much damage they take going forward. If Rhule can he will smash them I into D’s playing the run 40 times a week….as we lose? Not a fan of that. Why not keep Royce and grind him some. Spread it out. we haven’t even gotten to the hard part yet lol.

First play of the game we just come straight out the gate and run Rhule’s fake punt he can’t stop dreaming about using again and again

I mean, they could call Cam….I don’t see Cam answering the call. I think he will take us suffering as a win for him and keep it moving. Plus he couldn’t trust Rhule and company not to do him shitty once again.

Hope CMC can stay healthy. Kinda a weird move based on the current trajectory of things. Way the season is going, we are going to have to pound our RBs into mush and still lose while doing it. Seems like splitting all that up would be wise with a pretty big commitee. And you got to think given the amount we will run into run looks....our guys are going to get dinged up with that approach.

Given what the bar is around? I doubt you want the answer to that.

well, just because this narrative irks me. If anyone think Cam Newton ever played a down where he let the concern of getting hurt impact his play? Well, you didn't really honestly watch Cam Newton's career. Pretty safe bet you can just take Cam's word on that play and what was going through his mind. His career is pretty clear on the subject. It wasn't fear of a pile of players or injury.

Realistically, got to see who the Cardinals put on the field to predict final scores at this point. I mean, no Murray, Nuk, Edmonds, etc? Defense having a great game paired with a wildcat might could keep the score down. But I do expect Sam to be trotted back out so I guess they will have to let him pass at some point after AZ builds a lead. And then, well, we all know what happens at that point.

Matt Rhule has lost every game in November except for 1. That's right, time for PJ Mr. November Walker.

I think letting your DC essetnially pick your QB.....is a bad management approach then. If Joe picked Teddy? Well, Joe at least got more out of Teddy than anyone else to date. Why in the world would you let the DC dictate your QB decision.

1. Lot of former first round QBs (Trubisky, Haskins, etc ) were dumped this offseason....and signed for peanuts. And teams weren't fighting over them. Some who were better than Sam. Because bad QBs don't actually have a lot of value. And young QBs who played better than Darnold were able to be picked up for a single 6th round pick (Menshew). We got fleeced. Because this FO went into panic mode when they failed to get Stafford and weren't guranteed a QB in the draft. 3. Robby Anderson had 1 good season in his entire career. One season doesn't justify that deal. And we locked in the deal AFTER we drafted two WRs. The smart play was to see if it was a one hit wonder season and to get a look at Marshall. And it sure looks like Marshall deserves a lot of Robby's reps at this point. And Robby's money/cap could of gone toward OL next year.

Well, Kyler Murray and Nuke Hopkins were out last week. We would need them to stay out again this week. Then we need James Connor to catch a stomach bug. Nothing too serious bad enough to miss the game. Other RB is already out. Then we need Connor to spread the stomach bug to the entire defensive front. All 7 starters up front ruled out. DB situation doesn't matter as the goal to victory is defense and a franchise record 78 rush attempts. Probably need their kicker to have a bad day too. 3 points is a lot these days.

I mean, that is probably true of Fields in his current spot as well. I mean, the Bears offensive coaching probably is worse than Carolinas. And they have less talent on O overall. I mean, QBs in pockets are kinda like punt returners IMO. In large part, QBs are either comformtable in the chaos or they aren't at this point. I mean, take Cam for all his flaws. You could put Cam behind garbage and for the most part...he would stand tall and confident like he had a legit OL. That's what NFL QBs do. And if they can't? You aren't going to really teach them IMO at this point. Lot of good offense in the league occurs behind bad OL play.

I think Cam had a fine mentor. Derek Anderson the ends and outs of being a NFL QB. The highs and lows. How to play the game. I mean, you need someone in the building that knows what the fug is going on. I mean, you still have to hit on the talent. Otherwise, mentors, coaching, etc. None of that matters.

it got poo'd on this offseason. But I still feel Robby was the lone man in FL while the team was here practicing because of a contract battle. Robby wanted to get paid before Sam came in and tanked his value. Which it totally would have done. No way to know for a fact, but if Robby hadn't gotten paid he would have been screwed trying to get a deal after being reunited with Sam.
