Does CMC have a chance to break this record over the span of two games?

From all I can tell, CMC needs 23 catches over the span of the last two games in order to break the record, held by division rival Michael Thomas, of 196 receptions in your first two NFL seasons.

I know 23 sounds like a lot but, if you think about us using our backup QB, we might be running a little more stuff out of the backfield. More than we already have been, even.

It is at least something to root for over the last two weeks!

Hard to say how much heineke will be targeting CMC, we have literally never seen them play together in a regular season game. 

Hes also 232 receiving and 21 rushing yards away from getting 1000 rushing and 1000 receiving. He probably wont get it unless he has a couple of huge receiving games in a row. 

Also hes close to matt fortes record for rb receptions in a single season. 

Cmc has already broken or equaled several records this season. Most lately he passed Dwill for the franchise record for most yards from scrimage in a single season. And also became the 2nd player in nfl history to run for 50 yards,  receive for 50 yards,  and also throw for 50 yards (1st was Walter Payton).

Damn was going to write a posting about this. He is also 1747 total yards from scrimmage which means he needs what 253 for 2000? No doubt he can get that. Mostly because Ron likes to beat his players to death, and that's been the case with CMC. He only needs 21 yards for 1000 rushing.

DeAngelo Williams got over 200 yards alone in the last game of 2012. It's definitely possible he hits 2,000.

All the talking heads use superlatives to describe barkley as a “generational talent” or gurley or zeke as the “best back in football” but they seem to play down cmc. Same happened in college when he broke sanders yardage record but it want good enough for s heisman?? He seems to be understated because of his race? I don’t know what the issue is really?

No, Cam took the "it's ok to check it down" line, and turned it into his primary read. Falcons and saints are going to load the box and pressure Taylor all day, CMC won't get the ball half as much as he does with Cam, I assure you that.

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
