Expecting a running back to rank near the top of the NFL in total reception yards is ludicrous. 

To illustrate, CmC is 2nd in the NFL in terms of yards receiving by a running back. The NFL leader in yards by a running back ranks 20th.

Apparently, every RB in the NFL sucks as a receiver...at least by your metric.

This makes zero sense. I could not even get through half of it.

Calm down, you are emotional. It is a valid question to ask if he was a value at pick 8, and it doesn't mean he won't have a good career. 

 

As long as Shula is here they will never get any value out of CMC.  He simply doesn't know how to use him.  Shula should take a few pages from Andy Reid's play book and use CMC the way Andy uses Hunt.

It's valid question to ask for sure. But what again was your question? Seems to me you more or less made a statement and determination after 8 games for a rookie that we was crap/not worth the pic.. I get it man....it generated threads/posts and discussion.

Was he a value pick at 8? Was that your question? . Was Brady a value pick 8 games into his rookie season? I get everyone else shitting on him...but i cant wrap my head around you of all people seemingly so easily tossing aside a kid like CMC after only 8 games knowing full well our OC situation.

It is called football.

Wide receivers and tight ends typically make their catches well downfield because of the route trees they are asked to run.

Running backs typically make their catches behind or very close to the line of scrimmage because they run very different route trees. 

No running back in NFL history has ever led the league in receiving yards. Ain't gonna happen.

CmC's average catch on the season is 1.42 yards beyond the Line of Scrimmage.

The NFL receiving yards leader, Antonio Brown's average catch on the season is 9.98 yards beyond the line of scrimmage.

See the difference?

I wasn't a big fan of the decision to draft him. Not necessarily because I don't think he could be a good player, I just didn't expect us to be able to utilize him effectively. I think that has pretty much been the case. 

In fairness, I don't think any RB's in the league would be very effective behind our current OL.

I make a thread saying I support CMC but as of now spending the 8th overall pick on a slot receiver probably wasn't a great move considering other areas of need. Especially so if you consider the Panthers also spent the 40th pick on a slot receiver. 

 

Seems pretty reasonable to me. 

 

 

 

 

 

Panthers desperately needed a weapon.  For years I've been listening to people argue that Cam has no weapons, we need to draft help for him, Gettleman/Rivera only care about the defense, blah blah. 

So to me, CMC makes perfect sense.  He's fast, smart, hard working and will only get better.  Calling him a "slot receiver" I suppose is suggesting he was over-drafted.  I seriously doubt CMC would last more than 4-5 more picks and Gettleman does not trade back.  If we were serious about helping Cam, we had to get him at 8.

I really don't think of him as a slot receiver or a RB anyway.  Those terms come with preconceived expectations.  He's got to line up somewhere when he's not in motion, so I guess we need to fall back on these.  But he's really something very different - we may need to come up with a new position name before he's done.

The one that surprised me was Samuel.  He seemed a little redundant.  I thought we'd go Melifonwu, Kpass, or my personal favorite, Eiflein there.  Maybe go with a WR (I liked Goodwin) in the 3rd.  Samuel may workout - we certainly need someone that will eventually stretch the field.  But that one surprised me more than CMC.

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      By KillerKat · Posted

      My projection. I think at WR its time to go with youth. This means Moore should be the odd man out. Horn can return both punts and kicks and Tremayne is a better WR than Moore. XL gets one more year to prove himself, although I could see a trade in the future which would mean Moore could stay. For OL, I would like us to bring back Brady if we can. The RBs, Trevor can return both punts and kicks too. With the uncertainty of Brooks and Dillon, its hard to choose either one. I think the team would like for Brooks to have a breakout season to clear any uncertainty that he deserves a spot. For now, I have them both even and on the team. DL looks solid as well as OLB. Watch out for the UDFA of Aaron Hall and Isaiah Smith at OLB. They look promising and could knock someone off the team. ILB is still the biggest weakness on the team. We need to upgrade that any means necessary. CB is strong and Im praying to all the Gods that Wheatley beats out Scott at FS.  OFFENSE: WR: Tetairoa McMillan - *Chris Brazzell II* - Brycen Tremayne TE: Tommy Tremble - James Mitchell LT: #Rasheed Walker# - *Monroe Freeling* LG: Damien Lewis C- #Luke Fortner# - *Sam Hecht* RG: Robert Hunt - #Saahdiq Charles# RT: Taylor Moton - #Stone Forsythe# TE: Ja`Tavion Sanders - Mitchell Evans WR: Xavier Legette - Jalen Coker - Jimmy Horn Jr. QB: Bryce Young - #Kenny Pickett# RB: Chuba Hubbard - Trevor Etienne - #AJ Dillon# - Jonathon Brooks DEFENSE: LE: Tershawn Wharton - Bobby Brown III  NT: *Lee Hunter* - Cam Jackson RE: Derrick Brown - LaBryan Ray LOLB: Nic Scourton - Patrick Jones II  LILB: Trevin Wallace - Bam Martin-Scott - *Jackson Kuwatch* RILB: #Devin Lloyd# - Claudin Cherrelus  ROLB: #Jaelen Phillips# - Princely Umanmielen LCB: Jaycee Horn - Akayleb Evans RCB: Mike Jackson - *Will Lee III* - Chau Smith-Wade SS: Tre`von Moehrig - Lathan Ransom FS:  Nick Scott - *Zakee Wheatley* - Demani Richardson  SPECIAL TEAMS: K/KO: Ryan Fitzgerald P/H: Sam Martin KR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. PR: Trevor Etienne - Jimmy Horn Jr. LS: J.J.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      His contract is guaranteed.  Legette is just not where he needs to be mentally.  Not fully invested, it seems.

      Literally like Hill. He's not QB1 material (now or ever), but if we can turn him into a H-back and use him like  Swiss army knife, that's his ticket to make the roster.  H-back/emergency QB.  I wonder how good his hands are?  If they are at least above average by NFL standards then we can line him up in the backfield, in the slot, split out wide and of course, in the Wildcat.
