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 watched a clip of all the offensive snaps. Young threw into some tight coverage and the guys made some plays on the ball. He also really missed some throws.  He has this middle of the field thing into a tight window pretty good and made three or four nice plays but he was just too inconsistent with his accuracy especially in the red zone. Today and in general.    That Int where people were chastising Legette for ‘not fighting through the coverage’, he in no way could have gotten to that ball. IMO. I think he thought it was going to hit the ground and didn’t see the defender coming for it. But not sure what he could have done. The camera doesn’t show the spatial relationship very well, I think the ball was way off. maybe 6 feet or more off target to the inside of the field.  Rico is a beast. And a very good receiver.   That was my impression without dissecting and rewinding, just letting the video roll. I did rewind the int two or three times to look at that one. 
    • My biggest issue with keeping Darnold, which I felt we should have done, is we would still have Fitterer. And everything that came with that.  I think Morgan is going to be good.  Baker, just did not play well at all here. Not sure what else we were supposed to take away from it at the time.  That’s my short ‘I don’t want to argue about it’ take. 
    • Even if we somehow make the playoffs we will be one and done so fast. Seattle, Rams, TB, Panthers, Detroit and Philly are all better than us.
