How long does CMC last under a Rivera/Hurney regime

Heard the guys talking about this on WFNZ this morning. A lot of people think CMC won’t last 2-3 more years if he continues to carry the kind of workload he had this year. Others say getting rid of CJ wasn’t a big deal because CMC can handle it... which side are you on?

He did this for all 3 years in college so this is typical for him to touch the ball multiple times. After all he broke Barry Sanders all purpose yard record. On the other hand injuries happen sooner or later so he could only be around for 2 or 3 years more. It won't be because of how he is being used. He wants the ball on every down.

It isn't even about just risking him to injury, it's about versatility in your offense. Look at the Rams, Chiefs, and even the Patriots running the ball down teams throats with versatility. They aren't trying to run the offense through only one player though. Ya'll wanna celebrate all purpose yards in a losing season, yeah it's great, but guess what? Still no back to back winning seasons, and we tumbled to the bottom of the division in the process. How is this a good thing? I get trying to find a silver lining, but for a fanbase that in the past has constantly cried about not getting respect, you should all be able to see this. Especially the fans giving people poo for calling out Ron Rivera's mismanagement.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
