CMC is not a RB...he is a WR

Guy runs good routes and has good hands. He is not build to be a RB in this league. Have him tear up the middle of the field and be that 'guy' we don't have. Cam will have to learn how to use him and it would help with the crap Oline as a quick outlet. Shula is probably the problem with this idea. Give A.P a shot with Stewart. If I can see this why can't the coaches?

You guys are putting too much stock into this WR thing. What makes him dynamic is getting him lined up on LBs. If he's at receiver, he's gonna have a corner on him most plays, which takes away his advantage. He has to play RB to be a successful receiver. The problem is, when he's in the game, it's pretty much going to be a pass, because no one respects him as a runner.

Im not given up on him being a rb in the league yet after 7 games. But the thing about this team is we have no choice but to play him at wr because of how crappy the offense is. We need a receiver that can get open quickly to eliminate pressure and no use in running him behind a piece of poo o line and getting bang up early in his career. CMC at receiver helps this team better than at rb right now.

nobody respects any of our running backs right now, because our line is atrocious.

Not if he plays slot receiver, like Welker did with the Pats. McC could easily dominate as a slot receiver at this level, possibly even better than Welker did in his prime in NE.

But I still do have hope he'll have a major jump like LeVeon Bell in between the tackles and that's not out of the question. McC's vision and patience in college was just like LeVeon Bell's, it takes time for the NFL speed of the game to slow down for him and for him to be able to just play without thinking. Bell was terrible his rookie year and had a major leap his second year, as a runner. Partly due to weight loss, but also due to the game slowing down and him seeing the lanes he sees now, and letting them develop in time. McC can still get there and be an elite weapon like Bell. Also, very hard to develop in this offense as a runner right now when there are 3 defenders on you the instant you get the ball.

    • Honestly, it only makes sense if you're trying to chase being the best bad team you can be this year. The number one question we need answered this season is whether or not Bryce is our long-term franchise QB. Trading away a second year WR who was second on the team in catch percentage, first in yards per target, and who clearly outplayed your 1st round pick for a likely one year rental fill in LB is exactly the type of short sighted desperation moves that has made us the worst franchise in the league under Tepper. We gotta stop making these types of moves and just focus on building a good organization and a good roster. Lloyd is a JAG LB another bad team and awful defense is wavering on and a couple of Panthers fans are salivating over him. Oof. We just need to be patient and wait. Definitely make some calls around the league to teams deep at LB and see if there's an opportunity to add one for a late round pick. Definitely shop the waiver wire hard. The reality is that LB is almost certainly going to be a weakness for us this year. We weren't fixing our entire roster in one off-season and we're not fixing an overall weak positional group in late July.  If you trade for Lloyd LB is still a weakness and you've given up a young promising WR who could potentially help you answer the question of whether or not Bryce is that guy. That's bad football business.
    • I think it's because we've had a player to hate on NO (Breese) and Atl (Ryan) while Tampa had Winston who was never really a threat or dislikable like the other 2
    • yeah. it was also reported that Brown was taking it light today because of oblique soreness. Sounds like the 2 of them were a bit too rough with each other for practice.
