Chuba is a beast I don't understand how anyone can hate on the guy.

Fug the Falcons. Trash team.

Yeah uh let's not do that again. They showed they were willing to be dirty with Robby don't give them free hits on our qb.

It's been over a month. Don't let Joey Slye live rent free in your head.

If they're gonna call that but nothing on the Anderson hit they can fug off.

It was an iffy throw but I'm not mad at Sam for it necessarily. He needs to be better in the redzone though. You can talk about him without sniffing his jock.

Robby isn't the biggest guy but that's a hell of a hit most receivers would be down for a bit on that. Should be a flag tho.

Time to take off the training wheels and let Sam show us if he can bounce back. If he can't do it against this team just start PJ.

Getting eaten up by Davis and Patterson. Looks like a well prepared team again today.

I'm a big DJ guy but he's gotta start bringing in those tough catches if he's going to develop into an elite receiver and be paid like one. Gotta help your qb.

Yeah he's a rival and all but I've never heard anything bad about Ridley I hope he gets everything worked out.

Who knows what the future holds but so far we've invested big in two cast offs from the Jets and that uhh isn't going so well so the skepticism around a draft bust from the Jaguars is understandable at least.

He isn't returning but it isn't any worse than the Sam Darnold homers that still think he's going to magically turn into a franchise qb after being outperformed by Daniel Jones.

We gave up three picks for a bust retread qb we have the highest paid back on ir and names like Marcus Mariota are now being floated as options down the line. What a pitiful sad state of affairs.

Weird how we don't see any "I'm a Panthers fan not a McCaffrey fan" remarks.

He can't be the most valuable player from the sideline unfortunately.

Robby has been bad and if that continues he won't be here. But it's weird you have daggers out for him and not the leader of the offense who has been turning the ball over the same ugly ways he always has with the Jets and got bested last sunday by Daniel jones. Be consistent.

We desperately need some confidence or swag on offense. Hard to accomplish when your qb throws to the other team more than his own though.

That's valid. I took a look at their college numbers and though their rushing attempts are close McCaffrey still outpaced him by a large margin due to his receiving touches. He had 112 more touches and his yards from scrimmage were 5128 compared to 3876 for Henry. CMC actually had more receiving touchdowns than he did rushing. No doubt he was a versatile weapon which is why he went 8th. But where the Panthers sit today is they have to shift how they use him or what you see now is what you get. You also can't deny that most teams in the league have formidable offenses without making huge investments in the backfield or building around that position.

He's been around tops in the league in touches the last couple of years. Based on history he's probably got 2 or 3 more years at this pace before the decline. The Titans are putting all their chips in now I can't blame them they could make a run with him like Marshawn Lynch. We've tried to use the same approach with McCaffrey but he just isn't built for it and he's already had mileage from back at Stanford. Odds are low this run of injuries is going to go in the other direction. It stinks but what can you do.

He's 6'3 240. Have you seen his stiff arm?

Bad comparison. Davis wasn't one of the highest paid players on the team when those injuries happened. And McCaffrey has had an insane number of touches in college and the nfl that have led to this point. Even if you can convince yourself CMC will buck the trend you need only look at the history of the position and even his current peers. Gurley and Barkley. It sucks but the position is one that chews up and spits out players. Derrick Henry is doing his thing but he is rare and built differently.

Well that's something positive at least. Now if only we can figure things out with the corner we gave up a third round pick for. It's time to begin seeing some returns on these moves in the coming weeks.
