CMC sets record in SB era

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't he play every offensive snap in the game?

Yes this is a very nice record, but we had 3 active RB's, CMC had a record setting day, and we still lost.

My friends, there is a perfect example of spotting the punchbowl at a party and putting a turd right in the middle of it.

Christian McCaffrey had a big day, playing 100 percent of the snaps, rushing for 128 yards on 19 carries and catching 10 passes for 81 yards. But is that necessarily a good thing? According to ESPN Stats & Information, the Panthers are 3-6 when their star back gets more than 20 touches, and 0-10 when he catches at least seven passes.

Since when is it a good thing to be one dimensional in an ever evolving NFL?

I think that the CMC touches were less of an issue than "missed opportunities" (ie: missed FG, turnovers, giving up sacks, inaccurate throws, etc).
 

If anything, his production kept us in the game. I don't think that bringing in one of the back-ups was going to change that more than not being able to convert on 3rd down nor stop the Rams when it their go.

We agree fundamentally.

We didn't lose the Rams game because CMC had a big day, we lost off too many mistakes and lack of adjustments in the first half. We wasted too many drives.

My remarks are about our longevity as the season progresses. With 3 RB's active there's no reason to continue forcing CMC into playing every snap.

Oh, but there is.  He is by far and away our best player.  We cannot seem to move the ball without him on the field, this has likely shown it's ugly face in practice and Ron sees it first hand.

That ties in with what we all believe to be the case....win or you lose your job Ron.  Do you think for a minute that Ron cares about how CMC is going to feel in 4 years?  Hell no.  He cares about winning....NOW.

If we had a strong GM, he could step in and at the very least ask why Ron is spelling CMC, and putting him in position to be more fresh late in the season, and let him know that as a key cog in the wheel, he is going to try to re-sign him when he can, and doesn't want him to be like Gurley is now.

Alas, we don't have that either, as we all think that Hurney is likely out the door along with Ron if they don't win together.

Now you have two desperate people at the top of the food chain, and taking your best player off the field for a look down the road 2 years just ain't in the mix.

    • I liked him when he was at Michigan because I'm a Wolverine homer. After that... 
    • 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.
