Honestly wouldn't hurt to add him for vet min. if he's okay with not getting 15+ carries per game. He still had some juice left in the tank last year with the Cards as their feature back. Would make our HB depth amazing. Just not sure he'd be okay being the 3rd guy...

Listening to the whole interview, honestly it sounds to me like he just wants to be on a roster.

Who knows what happens if he gets here, though?

Only way I can see it working out is putting CJ at FB (which I would really like). That way we have CJ and CMC on the field at the same time with AP backing up. But I dont think he has anything left.

I can't agree with CJ at FB. The guy is an RB, not a blocker, and we just survived the Tolbertback experiment. A FB needs to block in this offense.

CJ is one of the best blockers in the backfield though. He was top 2.

He did an interview days ago and we were like the seventh team mentioned.  No hate for sharing but I'd say pass.  Would rather have Gates to give us the extra push for the super bowl while giving Thomas an extra year to learn from/over take Gates.  Olsen Gates with a budding Thomas would be the best TE group in the league.  I'm good with Anderson and McCaffrey + CAP or Hood or Barber depending on who we keep.

CJ was a 1000 rusher and among the best at blocking from the RB position.  He is our best rushing option along side CMC.  He won't be relegated to FB.  He will carry the ball a lot as well as 35-45 receptions.  We will be glad to have him.

What do you mean by relegated to FB? You say that like it's a bad thing. FBs can do what RBs can do, they're just better at blocking.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      So answer the question. Why did Chark and Hurst have the same metrics (go look them up, I did... and one was actually worse in LA) with Justin Herbert? Why did Mingo have the same metrics with Dak? You're right, there is a common denominator, just not the one you're trying to make.  Why could DJ Moore get open with Bridgewater, Allen, Cam 2.0, Darnold, Baker, Williams, Bagent? I'll answer the question for you - because he is a good WR unlike Chark/Hurst/Mingo.

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.
