This organization left Cam without a Oline and WR's for his entire career. Let him take a total ass beating. CMC is next in line to be beaten down. A player cannot survive long with that workload. Cam may never be 100% again....waste of a great talent.

CMC is a great back. Playing the majority of the offensive plays is not sustainable. This coaching staff has learned nothing. They continue to ride the horse until it collapses and do the same with the next great player. 

CMC will be just like Cam in the end....beaten down and broken due to the stupidity of the coaching staff and the organization

We need a young progressive coach like McVay who.....who....pounded his running back with even more touches per game 

Oops never mind. Everyone loves McVay 

Or maybe McVay realized he needed to take some of the beating off his RB, so he went out and found a tremendous RB to take the load off him.

C-Mac is a young, smart and strong RB who desires to play as much as possible. Thus far, there has been absolutely nothing to prove that he can't handle his level of usage. When that day comes, it will be addressed. Moreover, an elite RB's shelf life is markedly less than that of a QB's, so things are going to be managed differently.

Rivera does not look to the future--only worried about his job at the moment. Wear and tear adds up.  To assume you can tell that his  tires are not going to wear out when he is 23 is not that smart.

He can switch to something of a slot WR as he matures, but running between the tackles as much as he does?  He has 4 or 5 years left, according to most statistics.

Wrong.  He can do more than your average running back. 97% of the offensive plays is stupid.  Now name be the best 2 teams in the playoffs. Both of those teams have 2 good running backs and they both find a way to use them.  Dam even John Fox knew that.

So, it's just another Anderson-Hurney-Rivera-Norv-are-stupud threads? Who knew? :thinking::tongue: Regardless, I'm answering the question as I see fit.

The problem is this wasn't a Ron decision.. I know ppl like Norv (as I do) but the CJ decision was his to make.. Not Rivera not Hurney's it was Norv who didn't use him and it was Norv who felt he didn't need him..

It’s true, no back lasts more than a few years getting 300+ carries a year,.. 

CJ was perfect at price, age and complement.

i saw CJ plant some linebackers and people blocking, blitz pickup and peremeter blocking— something a lot of running backs suck at.

it would be tough using a draft pick to replace him——-

So you are saying the Head Coach does not determine the personnel decisions of his coordinators?  Yes, they do--or should.  The fact is, you do not know who made the decision--but I know who oversees the decision.

The buck stops at the head coach.  It is his job to see the abuse of a player and cosider long and short range outcomes.

While that is the nature of the NFL long term, Rivera treated Cam horrendously. Play through injuries that should have sat him with the excuse that Cam really wanted to play and is a competitor? Hurrying Cam back from surgery to start the beginning of the year instead of missing a game or two with the strategy of making a playoff run with a healthy freak QB? Rivera sucks at strategy which is why he makes so many horrible decisions. The guy is a joke, a likable guy, but a joke of a HC. I'm not convinced he can even play checkers. Or tick-tak-toe. Or draw lines between dots. 

CMC will absolutely be next. What determines his longevity will be his resistance to such treatment.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By frankw · Posted

      Arguing about who had what and who did what with more is just going to end in the same charades. If we're going to waste a lot of hot air arguing then make it about something that cannot be denied. What you are seeing with your own two eyes. Cam Newton was a tremendously talented athlete albeit flawed in fundamental aspects. And although he played poorly in and lost a Super Bowl you cannot deny him that more often than not through his prime his teammates knew they could count on him to hold up his end of the bargain usually and be a key driving force for keeping them in games. Giving his defense much needed rest and motivation in wanting to match his grit as a competitor. That aspect is just not there with Bryce Young. Yeah he's dumped on the Falcons in a dome twice but what about his other 44 games? When has the Panthers defense the last three years ever looked at their starting quarterback and thought to themselves "man I'm so glad he's my QB"?

      Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.
