Thank god Jacksonville saved us from Gettlemess  picking Fornette over CMC. 

Sometimes you get a gift. Like when TB drafted Mark Barron leaving us to settle for Luke.

I'm actually extremely curious if he'll put up similar numbers in 2019. My only real problem with him now is that he's still getting tripped up from behind on these long runs that he could score on (which also happened during his rookie season). 

I'm still pissed Rivera essentially blocked him from being the 3rd player in NFL history to get 1000 rushing and 1000 receiving.

I think as Cam starts to realize how dynamic Moore and Samuel are he's just not going to target CMC through the air over 100 times a season every year.  Especially if any of you are expecting 2015 level performance out of cam, he was at his best when pretty much everyone had a pretty evenly distributed workload.

Football, and running a player down, is all about angles. Don't make it something it ain't.  

CMC cares more about winning than personal stats. LOL at you finding reasons to be mad at Rivera. SMH. 

CMC will get his. I'm sure he'll be 90 + receptions on most of his healthy years.

Kris Jenkins I would have no doubt have been a Hall of Famer if he had a healthier career. He took on guards like Hutchinson and Larry Allen like they were nothing. Absolute monster and quickness for a man that size. Unfortunately, he was a 3-tech in a nose tackle body.

I remember his last big injury with us was him absolutely blowing up the middle and getting in quickly but the QB moved away. Kris tried to stop and move laterally, but his body could only handle so much and blew out his knee. 

Kris Jenkins at his best was absolutely HOF caliber. Unfortunately, we only really got to see about two seasons of that.

I really like the Curtis Martin and Marshall Faulk comps.  I didn’t realize they were all the same size.  Faulk was a nightmare.  Every single fan alive in January of 04 was terrified of Faulk.  Not so much Bruce, Holt and co.  Faulk.  He damn near beat us too.

Whats sad about KB is that we saw flashes of what he could be. He never had speed but I literally saw him toss defenders like rag dolls on few different occasions and he could probably outjump any defender from his size alone. Its a damn shame we wasted such high draft capital on Funchess and Benjamin and neither of them worked out..

Least Funchess didn't leave the team behaving badly. I wish him the best in Indy, he could be pretty decent compliment to TY Hilton if he could catch consistently. 

Wasted draft capitol and neither of them working out are pretty big statements concerning Funch.  He was a 2nd round draft selection, played 4 years here, had 40 starts, had 21 TD's, and never got into trouble....on a run first team.

If every 2nd rounder worked out that well, I'd take it.

But at what cost? How many balls did he drop? How many WRs did we potentially pass up due to having him on the roster?

The reality is that he had one good season and was honestly a liability on the field outside of that one season.

I've done this before.  Prior to Ridley everyone was saying that Sanu was a good no. 2 option for the Falcons....while Funch had nearly the same production on a team that passes the ball less, and he was paid a fraction of what the Falcons were paying Sanu.

Sometimes our fans need to look around the league a bit.

None of that addresses the fact that ye was a liability due to his drops and inconsistent at best effort as well as the potential opportunity costs of passing on other WR options because we were relying on Funchess because we had a 2nd rounder invested in him.

Plain and simple, outside of one season, Devin Funchess was a liability to the Panthers, not an asset.

Didn't say he was great.  Didn't say I preferred a different style of player, especially if we are trotting old slow ass Greg and KB out there.  All I'm saying is that Devin Funchess wasn't an awful 2nd rounder.  We got more out of him than almost every single 2nd round draft pick Marty Hurney made over 11 seasons.

I sincerely hope he never gets as many touches as he did last year ever again. That'll mean the other guys aren't getting much action and he isn't getting as much rest as he could be. He did great last year considering every defense knew he was getting the ball but we'll unlock his full potential when he can be used as an actual decoy/element of surprise.

From https://www.gq.com/story/real-life-diet-christian-mccaffrey this morning:

McCafferey doesn't eat chicken, tuna, wheat, or soy.

Example meal: Mondays for breakfast, it's just egg yolks (no egg whites). Then sweet potato hash with oats and maybe fruit.

Lunch: bison chili with potatoes mixed in. Maybe it has peppers and vegetables in some sort of a stew. I like soups because they’re so easy to eat.

Dinner: steak with sweet potatoes or avocado, and I always drink lots of water. I go through at least a gallon-and-a-half of it a day. I'd say a lot of that is in the morning, too. I’ll drink half of a gallon before I do anything else.

Cheat foods: cool ranch doritos. And oreos.

Unlike what the article said, that's 9 pounds heavier than his Combine weight. That's probably about ideal for him. A little more weight to help him take the pounding and hopefully add significant playing strength, but not enough to slow him down. Per the article, CMC is really focusing his training around speed and explosiveness. He knows what butters his bread.

That's not the usual diet for a RB, sounds more like a lineman's diet.  I guess it just goes to show how much McCaffrey works each day to eat all that fattening food and still be chiseled.
