Poll: Should CMC be our return man?

[Nails]

Comments welcome.  I don't feel there's ANY debate.  JStew is still our #1 back, our  opponents would hate it, he's a game changer, and I can't think of anyone of note that's truly lost a season or career on a return any moreso than a regular play.

Until he supplants Stewart as the #1 back, he should be utilized in as many ways as possible.

I'd put him on punts ..

Byrd/Clay/Graham/Samuel on kickoffs...whoever makes the team.

[KSpan]

No-brainer. Get the ball into his hands as many ways as possible.

[therealmjl]

Even though I went back and forth with you somewhat on this topic today- I want him to do it all.

[chknwing]

not until his durability is determined.

[top dawg]

If he's the best man for the job.

I don't subscribe to your theory that he HAS to be used on returns or he's a waste of value. There is plenty of value in being a change of pace, all purpose monster by playing a hybrid role in today's NFL, even if you were the eighth pick in the draft.

I trust the coaches to make the right call.

Yes without a doubt..

a punt return/kick return to the house is a game changing play. of course he should.

Agree. Until he's essentially an every down player he should be on at least one ST unit.

Top Dawg, I feel this may just be a wording issue rather than what you actually believe but there absolutely is NOT #8 overall value in being a "change of pace" role.

i voted punt returns only... i dunno, i just feel like theres a greater risk of injury on kick returns

Exactly.  Not that we WOULD have taken Cook or Mixon, but in theory we could have had Barnett/Hooker/Howard in a trade back PLUS Cook or Mixon.  CMC IS awesome...and he better be!!!
