So no one else concerned about CMC towards the end of the game?

In a close and competitive game like that, had we pulled CMC and lost, you guys would have been screaming your heads off.

It was good to learn just how explosive Bonnafon could be, so maybe we will see a bit more of him, especially when we have a good lead.

But, if you want CMC to win the rushing, total yards and touchdowns titles, along with MVP... then he's going to be out there for 99% of the snaps. That's the only way it happens.

i'm gonna guess the other guys aren't up on pass blocking.  it looked like kyle was having to explain assignments to bon after they broke the huddle each time.   its on norv and the o to fix this.   i don't care what stat titles cmc gets this year.  what are they worth?

After seeing the game yesterday where 95% of the plays were keyed to him, it'd do Allen and the offense better, and have him see the field/WR''s better.  There will come a time where a one trick pony offense is going to be stymied and you'll have to have rhythm with your WRs, Allen didn't have that yesterday, bunch of his passes were behind the wideouts.  Hope he can turn that around for London.

In our system, blocking assignments are incredibly important for our RBs, even more so with the injuries we've had along the line. How many times do you think CMC is kept on the field because they need him in there to block or chip a DE? Watch the games, because it happens a lot.

Agreed a stymied CMC would stink

Something a lot of people don't think about is pregame for these players. First time I was at a game this season and I was there to watch all the players warm up. Most players are out there and they run a route, stretch and then take a little off while standing in line before running another route. CMC was out there earlier than most and was sprinting around catching passes, and as soon as he caught one he would flick it back to the thrower, continue to run in a circle sprint and immediately get tossed another one. He was the only person working this hard during the early warmups. I don't know if this was his normal routine but I can tell you from watching both sides warm up this isn't the normal routine for any of the other players on both teams. 

The defenders were doing a drill, then standing and dancing, waiting for a command and then ran another drill. DJ was jogging from one end zone to about the 20 and then sprinting the last 20 yards to the other end zone. He would then stretch before doing it again. CMC was constantly running or sprinting while catching the ball.

I was a little concerned until I watched him hobble down the sideline and be the first guy on the sideline to congratulate Bonnafon when he came off the field.

More of a concern? Luke spending some time on his knees more than once yesterday; once after taking Reid's knee to the side of his helmet.

He doesn't take many big hits. The bye week is next week. A lot of his touches come as a receiver. He's 23 years old. He's the best player in the league.

Guys, it's fine. He's a smart guy. If they want to use Bonnafon more, great, but I'm not worried about Christian McCaffrey in the slightest.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
