When his name was called on draft night he was worth the pick 

Don't know where this offense would be without CMC

Before the draft I was a huge Fournette guy even tho I liked CMC also

But now i wouldn't trade CMC for  Fournette no matter what the Jags offered 

Not even two seasons and he's one of my favorite  Panthers ever

debatable. id wager chris clark has had more of an impact on our success than mccaffery. if you HAD to take one out for a series who would you choose?

Dumb question. If we had drafted oj Howard like you wanted, which one would you take out for a series?

CMC is the most important player in this offense next to Cam Newton and it isn't close. I was on the fence at first, but now have no doubt. 

It is evident he was absolutely worth the pick to anyone without a personal bias against him. 

Question was "he worth a top 10 pick" my answer is still no. The big difference is Norv fooking Turner. CMC type player was available in rounds 2 and 3 in that draft. We could of had 2 outstanding players that year if we didnt pull the trigger so early on a scatback. You guys get gitty after we beat non condltenders and cmc has a good game.  People so pressed to make him seem like some pre bowl type talent when he is really a James White type of talent.  This year our OLine is playing out of it's mind and Norv actually as given us a professional playbook. I love the support of cmc but keeping it real if that draft was redone he wouldn't of been picked at number 8.

So who was worth a top 10 pick then in 2017? If not a number 1 receiver and number 1 running back,... then who?

The guy is our number 1 receiver and running back,... so hows that not worth the Number 8 pick? Hes been the difference maker in at least 8 wins since we drafted him-- big chance we dont win those games without him,..

So again,..who else would we have drafted at number 8 that won us 8 games or heavily contributed to the wins?

Ill wait,.. this should be good.

Not just CMC, but Curtis Samuel. Two guys who will be cornerstones of this franchise for years to come.

Barnett and Kamara would still have been a better combo but it’s water under the bridge.  The gap between that hypothetical 1/2 pick combo and the real one isn’t near as massive as it looked last year.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      Tanking in the NFL isn’t really a thing and anybody wanting to bring the rigged lottery to the NFL has an ulterior motive.

      Ravens safety out for year. Torn Achilles… Panthers may need to do something

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I understand where you're coming from, but we need another safety IMHO. Other positions, especially on defense, dont have ideal depth, but to me at least S is the one position we can't stand pat at even when thinking about the future

      100%. Nick Scott was awful last year. Like, even for a franchise that hasn't historically invested in that position, it stood out for how awful it was. If he sees meaningful snaps at S again we're cooked.  Maybe he has value for ST, but I certainly hope we can upgrade. Jordan Fuller, who was by all accounts an Evero guy, was almost as bad. Xavier Woods was bad, but not complete garbage. Still did not want him back. Those 3 guys seriously may have been the worst S group in the NFL. And they all were brought in, especially Fuller, as good fits for this system. Everyone knocks the defensive line, and they deserve a lot of blame, too, but so, so many times our safeties inability to tackle let 4-5 yard runs turn into 10+. And it happened over and over and over again if you watch the film. Honestly, Demani Richardson was the only S by the end of the year I remember making positive plays. I have no issue with Richardson being in the mix and/or competing to be a starter, but we still need another S desperately IMHO who has actually played meaningful snaps in the NFL. The only caveat/excuse for our secondary was the fact our pass rush was nonexistent for large stretches last year. Maybe that helps with coverage, but I dont see how that makes any of these guys better at tackling.  I know it somewhat feels like piling on at this point, but I feel 100% confident in saying this was the worst tackling team in franchise history. The 70ish yard pass play we gave up to Jamarr Chase where he ran through and past everyone in the secondary has to be up there in terms of most embarrassing plays I've ever seen. I can't imagine how embarrassed Kuechly must have been watching from the booth... I think bringing back Evero was a mistake, but for a team that has had nothing but change over the past 5 years, I'm willing to see this through. I definitely think we added significantly to the floor of this defense with the additions we made. I dont think Evero has any further excuses if he cant field a unit that can at least somewhat hold their own. Fixing the safety play is going to be a big part of that.
