McCaffrey will disappoint this year

I think 600 yards from Moore is a damn good season. 

I expect he’ll be around this range.

He’s gonna be our short-intermediate playmaker. Basically our more athletic Jarvis Landry as a rookie.

It's the same as the idiots that said drew brees wouldn't/couldn't be successful because he IS to short to be an NFL QB.

I am sure he will disappoint some people this season much like he did last season. As others have said, that is a pretty subjective statement.

I am curious to see how he works out now that we have CJ. I am more curious to see if our playcalling and OL play improve dramatically from last year.  If one or both of those don't improve pretty dramatically, we may not be disappointed in the right people if we are blaming CMC(or CJ).

McCaffrey will disappoint in so much that the offense does. If Norv has full control over the offense and how it operates in the games, we'll be fine and so will CMC. 

If Rivera wants to try and "milk the clock" with a 3 point lead in the 2nd quarter, we're all screwed.

CMC will do OK I think. I think we'll see him better between the tackles provided we have better blocking. Look at a lot of the unanimous "best RBs in the league", most of their best runs have WIDE open holes with nobody near them because they're being blocked or ran off by good play design. This is what CMC needs. He needs a clear 4-5 yards so that he can make a LB or safety miss and be gone. Or to get on the edge and have the same concept of making that force player miss. He's not a guy you run 20 times up the middle, that's Anderson's role.

If anything CMC should do better with Anderson there and hopefully a true FB role being used. Not to mention Olsen and the new receivers. Also not to mention an OC who has shown he knows how to utilize these types of backs.

An article saying he will struggle because he supposedly isn't a up the gut runner is literally ignoring most of the factors that matter.

Taking Rivera's word about what we should or will do on offense is probably a mistake.

Exactly. All Rivera ever does is say that the guys on the team can do whatever is required of them. Doesn't, necessarily, have anything to do with what will actually take place.

It really shouldn't be about total yards.  Efficiency is more important.  If he gets fewer yards, but has a higher average yards per catch or carry, then he is not disappointing.

Nobody is going to complain as long as there is production. Early on last year he was too indecisive and quick to dance in the backfield. Unfortunately he finished the season on a very low note with crucial backbreaking drops on the road in the playoffs against our arch rival.

Picking up CJ Anderson was a smart move, but CMC has to elevate his game substantially this year regardless. We are entering the stage of Cam Newton's career where we won't always be able to rely on his rushing heroics to save the day. Top 10 picks should anchor the offense. Yeah it isn't totally fair for CMC to have that kind of weight on his shoulders, but that's the reality in the NFL.

You mean the playoff game we wouldn’t of even had to play if Cam didn’t poo the bed in Atlanta when all of his teammates were playing on point? Great heroics.

Everyone had mistakes last year.

CMC is a rookie...and Shula is an idiot. CMC should not be running between the tackles more often than not if he’s being used correctly, and I highly doubt Norv expects him to.

Ultimately, I think Moore will disappoint the most fans. Not because I don't think he'll be good, but because after showing out in camp and having some highlight reels in preseason, the expectstions will be off the charts and an 800 yard season will disappoint many who'll all of a sudden be expecting 1200 since KB had 1000.

I disagree, Moore want be the only target so that will hurt him but this kid in space is a monster. If he can put up the numbers he did in college with Joe blow QB he should put up good numbers in the NFL. I have to say I am more worried about the Defense this year than the offense.

1 Player on Every NFL Team Who Will Disappoint in 2018

The Panthers have a new offensive coordinator in Norv Turner, but per ESPN.com's David Newton, head coach Ron Rivera pointed to McCaffrey's ability to run between the tackles. It's not McCaffrey's primary talent, and it never has been, and an increased portion of the wrong approach won't do anything positive for McCaffrey's future.

 

Wow, I guess the media is in full click bait mode during the dead season.  They can kiss my ass.  Norv knows what to do with Cmac....he'll have another +1000 yard combined season, and this time he'll break several to the house.

Aahhhh I can't wait.

I want wins and want to look like a pro team on all phases

i don’t care who does it 

honesty I was never a fan of the cmc pick but he is here now   Become Julian Edelman  or LT  don’t care.  They won without him previously  

 

[DaveThePanther2008]

We have so many weapons on this team.   If Cam throws for 4000 to 4500 yard and our RB corp rushes for 1500 yds total.   I could care less how the numbers are spread out.

We have the potential to have huge numbers from our receiving game and our running game.
