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.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      By TD alt · Posted

      I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.

      Teddy Checkdown in trouble

      overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.
