Sick of seeing CJ Anderson on the bench in the goal line

Look, I love CMC, but goal line offense is Anderson's wheelhouse - McCaffery has no rushing touchdowns this year. Put him behind Armah and not only is the run more viable, the pass also becomes harder to defend since they have to focus on Anderson up the middle.

I’m honestly surprised he’s not pissed, he deserves more touches at least 10-14 a game. That’s the thing about running this slow pace offense(until it’s a absolute must), we got talented guys not getting enough snaps 

If I was him I might not go as far as to demand a trade but I would definitely be asking the Panthers to at least call around prior to the deadline. 

I kinda feel for CJ. I'm sure he was told he was going to to have a significant role in this offense and he's pretty much having his career tanked. He might be looked at as a veteran minimum type guy after this year if this trend continues.

Everyone should come to grips that CJ is CMCs back up, and that’s it

I think everyone understands that. Hell, it's exactly what I was trying to tell everyone in the offseason when people were trying to say that CJ might be the bellcow. But, CJ has 17 touches through 6 games. Hes on track for under 50 touches on the year. That's generally #3 RB territory. That's definitely unexpected for one of the higher paid #2 RBs in the NFL.

I’d like to see at least a 85/15 snap distribution between CMC and CJ just so we don’t wear CMC out.

I get why his snaps would be low the past two games since we were playing feom behind the majority of the game and CMC is one of our best receivers, but yeah, when we're in the mode of running the ball I'd like to see him taking some more of those snaps for the exact reason you stated.

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
