I've read my three free articles this month. With so many free news sources, but the Charlotte Disturber still thinks they're the only game in town. EnTeeway...

I always believed that Anderson will be the workhorse back. I'm not sold, and I don't think that the OC or HC is sold, that C-Mac is a legit power back. That being said, I think that he can do it in spurts. Turner wants to rightly get C-Mac into space and let him do his shake-n-bake thing and carve up the opposition. Smoke routs and wheel routes, screens and draw plays should be fun to watch. C-Mac is a legitimate offensive weapon that I'm pretty sure will be used to acquire the most all-purpose yards on the team. Between him in space and on the outside, and Anderson running o  the inside and catching underneath, I really don't see how we'll be stopped with Olsen and the playmaking receivers. Provided Cam consistently goes through his progressions (and has time to), there should always be someone open when we're not running through the opposition. And, even if they possibly happen to cover Cam's plethora of weapons, Cam won't be. Our offense should be pick-your-poison on steroids. They damned sure don't want to leave C-Mac open, but you know that he's going to get open. He did last season, and that's without all the legitimate weapons.

I hope we roll with CMC as the starter. Anderson is a solid RB, but there’s a reason why Denver let him walk when it wasn’t going to cost a ton to keep him. He’s basically a JAG. Good backup, marginal starter type of guy. If a guy like that keeps CMC on the bench, it’ll be time to start pondering that “B” word.

Cmc has never been a power back. During his record year at Stanford they used a short yardage back near the goal line but cmc got 25 touches a game

No way we run a North South game we did under Shula with our line. Both McCaffrey and Anderson are dual threat backs that can catch and rush. We probably will see a ton of misdirection with traps. I see us as a more passing offense this year than a rushing one simply because our line is not good at run blocking.

There is a reason they have training camp and the preseason. Let's put them all in there and see what emerges. What happened last year or even before that shouldn't dictate what we do now or in the future. Let's see what happens when the bullets start to fly.

It would likely be time to start considering the coach a disappointment, not the player.

A "bust" doesn't catch 80 balls as a rookie.

I hope that Ron trusts Norv enough to really use CMC correctly.

I have a feeling Anderson gets a lot of early down work, with McCaffrey the 3rd down back and change of pace guy, but I could be wrong. McCaffrey lined up all over the field last year so it's anyone's guess what Turner has in store for him.

If Ron "I would have taken a shot too" Rivera has any choice in the matter, you're probably right.

I looking forward to passing on first down.

Anderson might not be a star or headline guy but good backups don't get 1,000 yards behind one of the worst olines in football.

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

      By TD alt · Posted

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
