CJ was basically a wasted signing. He's one of the highest paid #2 RBs in the NFL and he hasn't even gotten typical #3 RB opportunities.

The thing is, he's super usable and the return on RBs is nothing these days.   I think we're in a perfectly fine RB situation bc of this.  I think he should get 4-6 carries min. a game but it doesn't seem to be a problem at the moment.

I'm sure he was led to believe he was going to have a much more significant role than this when he signed. We've basically tanked his career. He'll be a veteran minimum type player when he hits the market next year. We've also basically taken ourselves out of the market for any other FA RB who has other offers. In other words, we better draft a backup RB in this coming draft.

There is truth there.  Just don't forget that the position seems to have the most consistent pipeline out of any these days in regards to asset proven talent.  We've got Matt Breidas, Tarik Cohens, Chris Carsons, and Philip Lindseys scattered around the league.

I like CJ, and I can definitely see a point about him being underutilized...

But we are 6-2, and this is professional football...

The team matters a lot more than his feelings... CAP isnt even active, and he's capable of being a solid backup.

Only 1 ball to go around

I first pie'd, but then I decided to cargo.

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      By Shotgun · Posted

      Also comparing the first 12 picks to the  rest of the draft is a silly comparison, 12 chances vs 245 chances to hit on a player.

      Bleacher report not buying Panthers’ hype

      By 45catfan · Posted

      The NFL is about parity.  There are few teams in the upper tier and a few bottom dwelling teams every season, every other team is in the middle. This version of the Panthers can be a fringe playoff team if, BIG IF, things goes their way.  First off health.  This goes for every team. It takes a special club to overcome a rash of injuries and still get into the playoffs.  Secondly, timing.  The Panthers have to catch a good team on a short week, with key injuries or some disruption to their team dynamic--like a dome team in the rain, for example.  Lastly, luck.  In order for the Panthers to get over the hump, things have to go their way in 2-3 games.  Things like a controversial call in our favor,  a DC going into prevent defense most of the 4th quarter, a fortunate (for us) turnover by the opposition while trying to seal a win etc...  This will be the difference in a 6 win Panthers team and 9 win squad this season.  I can't see us lower than 6 wins (short of the wheels completely falling off) because they roster has been getting better or higher than 9 wins simply due to Bryce's ceiling.

      Off Season topic: What Panthers question do you have that you know will never be answered?

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I'm not questioning who was better or worse. I'm saying Moore was handed the keys and was trash. Clausen wasn't a Fox pick and Fox didn't want to play him but Moore sucked in Weeks 1-2 and Fox had to turn to Clausen for a while. Doesn't mean Moore wasn't given the starting job; he absolutely was and he absolutely got the most reps throughout camp.
