Sorry if this was already posted, didn’t see it anywhere.

GMF was talking about the upcoming story on Amazon about our 2018 season and Burleson stated that he thinks CMC will soon become the face of the Panthers, thinks he will have a “breakout “ 2019 season. 

I think Cam keeps the title until he stops playing or plays somewhere else.

If 2018 wasn't a breakout season for CMC I don't know what is.

Cam is the face until he stops playing. League MVP and most valued position. RBs can rarely, if ever, be the face of a winning franchise in this NFL.

Yep, Zeke Elliott is probably the best RB in the NFL right now and he still gets overshadowed by a mediocre QB in Dak Prescott.

Was thinking the exact same thing.

If your RB is the face of your franchise in the modern NFL, you probably aren't winning much. Harsh truth.

I mean, Gurley is the face of the Rams IMO, and they were in the SB last season.

 

That said, no.  Cam and Luke are the faces, and will be for some time.

How many yards did Gurley have in the Super Bowl?

If your running back is the face of the franchise in the modern NFL, you probably aren't winning much.

Can you answer what that statement and the statement I quoted have to do with each other?

You quoted me and brought up Gurley. The offensive juggernaut that was the 2019 Rams were almost shut out in the lowest scoring Super Bowl in history. My initial statement which you quoted holds up.

Ask our team if they give a poo about merely appearing in the Super Bowl only to watch it slip away despite still being in it down to the last few minutes of the game.

There isn't a team in the league that can win a title with only an RB as the face of their team. Just ask Sean McVay and Jared Goff.

Both the Broncos and Patriots beat the Rams and the Panthers with stout pass rush.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
