I take a break from the Huddle for a couple weeks, then come back to see CMC getting blasted. One thread cherry-picks a failed CMC juke (still a four yard gain mind you), and then another thread is a passive-aggressive ex-girlfriend-esque post showing a nice play by Samuel, titled "Most impressive play by an offensive rookie this year."

 

Dude, you were posting all this CMC hype in the offseason, were super high on him, and now he is just "Rex Burkhead"? This guy is literally halfway through his rookie season. I figured the man running Carolina Huddle, est. 2003, would know better than to poo on a player this early in his career. So fickle.

I agree. I think all this hate is a bit much. Its his rookie effing season. Rookie season. Yeah, he needs to pack on some weight, that much is apparent. Put this kid with a competent staff and I think this would be a different conversation. The game hasnt slowed down for him yet, but it will. Jesus.

The Huddle is a form of "the media," and like so much of the media now, its financial success is, to a large degree, determined by click(bait). There's at least a part of the answer to your original question, probably a big part.

Well said OP...

CMC is our leading receiver.  He is constantly open, and not always targeted when he should be.  He plays under one of the worst OC to ever have a job in the NFL, and runs behind one of the most under-performing offensive lines in the league.  It's not like Stewart or Fozzy or CAP are lighting it up running the ball while CMC struggles.  EVERY SINGLE RB ON THIS TEAM IS STRUGGLING TO FIND SPACE...EVERY ONE.  

Let's lay off the kid and give him a break.  He is busting his tail out there and always displays a positive attitude.  We have way more issues on offense than our first round draft pick, who happens to be leading the team in receptions and yards.

      OFFICIAL 2026 Undrafted Free Agent Thread

      By strato · Posted

      Yep. I was hoping for and calling for a day three guy. But I didn’t research the position to say if we should or should‘t have jumped at a particular guy at a particular spot.    And everything I read said it was a poor draft for RBs depth wise. I guess when Seattle takes a backup RB in the 1st, that kind of backs that up.    I definitely think we should keep 4 running backs and if King can play well enough then keep him too.    I believe I heard Canales say we are a running team (talking about drafting a WR he will be needing to block as well as catch). Well if we are gonna be a running team by identity we don’t need to stock the WR room to overflowing. If one room has to sacrifice, it should not be the RB room given our circumstances.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?
