Unpopular opinion : We are overusing Mccaffrey and it’s not good for the offense

Norv is gonna kill the kid, at this rate i’m almost willing to bet he’s not gonna make it through the season. He took some huge hits yesterday, and why are they pounding him up the middle right after a 60 yard run??? We were very fortunate we recovered his 3 fumbles. The redzone runs by Mccaffrey are useless

 

Olsen and Samuel barely even saw that ball. All these weapons and all they do is force feed Mccaffrey.

Armah has had, to my knowledge, exactly one red zone opportunity and he banged it in the end zone. Not sure why is organization is so hesitant to use their young weapons but it’s frustrating to say the least.

I think he has 2 TD this season

Someone remind me why this team signed CJ Anderson, again?

"The Panthers have now found the second part of their one-two punch at running back. Carolina has signed former Broncos starting running back C.J. Anderson to a one-year deal, the organization announced Monday afternoon. That means the powerful rusher will join the 2017 draft's No. 8 overall pick, Christian McCaffrey, as a nice top two in the backfield to go alongside star quarterback Cam Newton." (247 Sports)

"Anderson’s power-back style should be a natural fit in his new digs, filling the void opened up by the departure of Stewart. Plus, by all accounts, he’s carried himself with the exact mentality – an approach described as “professional” by general manager Marty Hurney – coach Ron Rivera values in his players. If you think this match between Anderson and Carolina feels like an ideal one, that’s because it pretty much is." (USA Today)

When your best option at the backup RB position is Cameron Artis-Payne, you've answered your own question why CMC is on the field all day.

Half of those passes were dump offs by Cam. It's not all on the coaches unless you're proposing we take CMC off the field.

If you notice a lot Mccaffrey catches are designed passes for him, you can see the receivers blocking instead of running routes.

We're over using him for sure. We do need him out on the field a lot because of the attention he draws. Overall, I don't think offense is the issue.  I understand why they used him a ton yesterday....the coaches were desperate and we needed that win.  Granted, the coaches awful decision making is what's holding this team back...and our kicker who's kicking like he's going through a nasty divorce. 

My pet peeves with this team have to do with time management and being awful defensively on 3rd down.  Little things.  Delay of game penalties every game.  The one on the goal line in the 4th quarter was a costly time out.  Playing for the field goal when we were moving the ball at will under two minutes. All coaching things really.  

I know that defensively we have some talent. Have we considered Luke's level of play has dropped because he probably has a DC who's inept and working against him. Kuechly has had 3 coordinators in 3 years.  We played fine on 1st and 2nd downs....but man what a string of collapses on 3rd down.  That's the biggest evidence that I have that Eric Washington is probably a Saints implant.

    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset. 
    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…
