Man, this crap is getting old. CMC is a Panther, he's running lights out and he's a Panther. Done and done. Can we stop with the who's better and would you trade CMC for this dude? 

Pretty sure you don’t have to read something if you don’t like it

... That said,Barkley is a generational talent at rb...

Is there a more overused phrase in the last couple of years than "generational talent"?

A year ago, the same was said about Fournette. How can there be multiple generational talents in just a couple of years?

Being a generational talent doesn't mean it cant happen back to back years, basically means these guys are rare physical specimens. Fournette at 240 pounds was timed as the fastest player in the open field on big runs last season. Barkley and Fournette are special in different ways... But both are very uncommon and unique.

I have C-Mac in fantasy, and my opponent has Barkley. McCaffrey all the way, baby! For true! Take it to the bank! Word! 

You want to know why (at least right now). Our defense is better than theirs on paper and in real life---much more potential to be realized. And, Norv is markedly greater than Shuls!

Then they should be called uncommon and unique, not generational. Generational talent implies talent like theirs only comes around every 20 years or so.

And I am not directing this criticism at you as much as I am the sports media that over dramatizes on a regular basis.

100% agree.

GOAT, phenom, generational talent, game changers, etc...it get's so damn tiring.

  I’d probably give 5 RBs that description. At least ones I’ve seen.

 OJ

BO

Peterson 

Barkley

Sanders- in a completely different way from the others.

Give me LT over those all day....IMO.

I can see that. I just didn’t see him that way coming out like the others. That’s on me. Wouldn’t have been honest on my part. Should replace OJ with Earl Campbell though. Since I didn’t see OJ in college

I thought that LT was the best pure running back for the modern times that I had ever seen.  Liked Faulk a lot too.

Obviously, I have a bit of a crush on those RB's that can run great routes, and have receiver like hands....they just change the way you can play the game.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I've been hearing all about this "winning culture" for years while watching us piss away top shelf draft position with meaningless late season wins when we're already eliminated from the playoffs but being assured this is building "winning culture" just to inevitably suck again next year. With that said, I'll always take a playoff berth. Just make the dance and you have a chance to make some noise. But spare me the "winning culture" bullshit.

      Winning culture trumps ALL.    Here’s my way to long take:  Last season this team started out breaking the sports books and being the lead pipe lock of the week. They finished by being a tough out for both SB teams.  I don’t think they’ll pick up right where they left off, but for the first time in years they’re on the legitimate upswing. Honest to God NFL talent has been infused.  Offense is already going to be good for 2-3 more 3rd down conversions (I don’t think anyone will argue that) a game over last year so I’ll go (very optimistically) 5-6 more points better than last year’s team. ADDED: A legit backup RB and a money WR who catches everything, along with 2 promising rooks. No significant losses (sorry Miles). KEYS: Can Dave bob and weave play calling if things aren’t working? Does protection continue to hold for Bryce. Did this team pick up dudes who know how to find the end zone or will the struggle of 3rd and goal continue.  Defense. If they can force even 2 (hopefully 3) more stops a game on third down (not asking a lot, hopefully more), that’s good for -4 (optimistic) points for opposing teams.  ADDED: legit run stuffers. Legit (appearing) edge guys. LOST: Clowney. Question: With legit 3-4 talent can Evero finally show what we have been VERY patiently waiting on? To me, EVERYTHING on defense hinges on Evero. Everything. Every position group was upgraded (still not good enough, but certainly improved).  Losing Brown early and Luvu… completely and utterly devastated the run defense. Luvu put up one of the best seasons at LB this team has ever seen. His under appreciation by some fans was criminal. He alone was our 3 down stop machine. Brown was pretty much it up front. Those 2 held RBs in check long enough for safety help to arrive.  Coaching: Halftime adjustments and no prevent defense. In a nutshell, that’s pretty much it. No cutesy offense to show off WRs/Bryce when it’s not working. Use your sledgehammers, Dave.  There is finally veteran leadership and legit NFL talent. It’s going in the right direction (I couldn’t have been more wrong last offseason) to build a winning culture, but teams have to learn how to win, especially the games where nothing is going right (this team has NEVER been able to do that). They will still lose more close games than they win, and that alone is where it all hinges.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      With his current level of play I'm quite content to not activate his 5th year option and let him walk away for free after year 4.
