if cmc sucks again sunday against the saints defense is it time to panic

[The Lone Panther]

This is just my opinion, but I don't see CMC ever being an NFL RB.  Once the coaching staff realizes he's best fit in the slot, then we can see the next Edelman.  Only better.

Mother fuger.

No wonder all the old heads around here never post anymore.

Ill panic when we are mathematically eliminated from playoff contention.

Under rivera we ALWAYS start slow aside from the 15-1 season and we are 2-0.......so the way i see it we are ahead of the 8 ball right now.  

Being concerned about a rookies first 2 games is not seeing the forrest through the trees.

Give it time fellas, give it time.

dalvin cook (2nd round pick) is averaging 5.6 ypc up in Minnesota with mike remmers as one of his tackles and a poo QB.

imho if he can't get over 100 combined yards and a td against the worst defense in NFL history it would be time for the CMC homers to take off the shades. if not then, then when??

How could he suck again against the aints ?

He hasn't  played them yet

Huddle is in fine form tonight

 

What is with all the knee jerk reactionary emo threads.....WE ARE FUGGING 2-0!

I don't care if we look like poo every game as long as we win.

i said before the draft i'd be shocked if he was successful under shula. the dude is incapable of getting the ball to players in space. everything on offense is always a struggle.

 

i think cmc can be a good player, but you don't spend the 8th overall pick on a change of pace back/slot receiver... and i'm pretty confident that's all he'll be. i wouldn't spend a top 10 pick on a RB unless they have superstar 3 down back potential.

Way to early... We just need to use him more. Especially in the passing game. He can get open in his sleep on those option routes. Shoulda had a td last week.... He ll be fine

[beastson]

Wow I dont know what's more concerning, CMC or the Huddle faith in CMC. I thought this man was the 2nd coming of Jesus during TC and pre-season, but now faith is dwindling after 2 games

him jumping to 100 yards is big if. I think he gets like 70 overall yards and a td. I think stewert has big game against saints and cmc has big day against pats

Overall, I'm not concerned about CMC. He's still on pace for 1000 total yards this season. The only thing I'm concerned about is his future as an actual RB. He's only averaging 2.7ypc right now. He's been much more effective catching the ball than running the ball thus far. Which is fine considering we still have Stewart, but going forward? Big question IMO unless we completely revamp our offense away from our current power running foundation.

i feel you. i just dont know if he will be alot more effective at WR. reason i say that is because of samuel. I know he missed lot of time but i feel his touches arent as nice as it could. Saving grace is since they like cmc so much even if he play calls arent the best he will have so many opportunities that his natural ability should suffice.

Looking at him play in pads next to other players he def looks skinny especially in the upper body, he looks more like a WR out there. I know its not his style but I think he needs to add at least some kind of respectable power element to his run game. If defenses aren't respecting his power at all they'll just keep swarming him from a variety of angles and neutralizing his running efficiency.  He's being pushed around/going down so easily b/c the LBs/Dlineman he's playing against are anywhere between 30 to 100 lbs heavier than he is and are alot faster/alot more athletic than the dudes he played in college. 

This is something I mentioned when everyone was posting all those videos about CMC crossing people up in one on one situations , and I said its going to be way different in actual game with defenders everywhere  on the field in front of him and are just as fast as he is and much stronger. He can't literally outjuke everyone like Barry Sanders. If anything he looks like he's trying a little too hard to be elusive as I see him dancing around alot in the backfield when he gets swarmed by defenders . 

I think he's last listed at 205 before the season started, putting on 10 - 15 lbs of muscle on that upper body could do him wonders I think. Not sure if he'll actually do that, but he did gain about 3 lbs from the draft weigh in to the season starting. I think he could actually learn alot from Stew if he wanted to make him a much more complete RB , Stew's been one of the best blocking and power backs in the league for a good while when healthy. If McCaffrey could somehow maintain his speed and elusivness and get up to about 215-220 by the start of his 2nd season and take part of this season and 2018 summer learning from Stew how to outpower dudes that could be a sight to see. 

As he is now, he's a pretty damn good slot receiver and probably best used as one b/c of the space he's in after catching a pass he's already past all the clutter of the dline and those heavy mofos knocking him down like a bowling pin and can just rely on his speed/elusivness to shred it up. Its possible the Panthers may be better served to use him more like Tyreek Hill , have him in on special runs /sweeps but mostly have him either in slot or out wide. His receiving skills are undeniable even this early.

lmao if the 1st round pick isnt racking up 100 yards from scrimmage in his 1st 2 games he must be a bust... Huddle logic
