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.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
