Rivera references 200 carries and C-Mac

Recommended Posts

Per PFT:

"Panthers coach Ron Rivera told ESPN.com he wouldn’t be surprised if McCaffrey reached 200 carries this season. That matches what Rivera said in June, when he said he’s looking forward to seeing McCaffrey run between the tackles more, as he did in college."

 

I knew that Rivera envisioned more carries, but that's substantially more. As for running between the tackles, I know that Rivera wants to see what C-Mac will do as a pro, but I don't believe that he's going to run C-Mac between the tackles like a workhorse (Enter C.J.). 

We're definitely going to see. It kind of sounds like we may use C-Mac as much as possible.

They need to run CMac 200+ times just to see what they've got at this point.  

If he can average 4.7 like last 8 games then he should get lotsA carries. 200 carries would be 940 yArds plus 650 in receiving would be pro bowl numbers

Panthers coach Ron Rivera says getting Christian McCaffrey the ball 25-30 times a game would be ‘'ideal.'' He told me during offseason workouts he could see the second-year back getting 200 carries this season after having only 117 a year ago. Obviously big plans for McCaffrey, but Rivera said things still start through Cam Newton.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
