McCaffrey took This Loss Personally

From David Newton . 

Christian McCaffrey spent a long time sitting in front of his locker after Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Packers. The Panthers running back was hard on himself for not scoring on the final play. But McCaffrey didn't let his teammates down and he kept himself in the running for NFL MVP with 141 yards from scrimmage (108 rushing, 33 receiving) and one touchdown. He has 14 touchdowns on the season, tied for the most in the league.

He had that one play earlier in the season where he didn't get the TD at the end either. This dude has been far from the problem and might be the only reason why we've been in games this year.

As good as he's been he's on a team with a horrible defense and has clown coaches with their head in the sand and he still produces.

I could honestly seem him trying to go to another team as soon as his contract is up if Tepper sits on his hands and doesn't make some serious changes in the next couple years.

I doubt it. CMC is a lot like Luke Kuechly. Doesn't care about some stupid contract. As a matter of fact, he was the first 2017 1st rounder to sign his contract. All he wants is play football to the best of his ability & win.

He ain't another Le'veon Bell.

The playcalling and situation in this game and the Bucs game basically set him up to fail.  Norv Turner just doesn't get it.

He’s probably pretty pissed he has come up short two times with a chance to tie or possibly win the game.  As far as him leaving, doubt it.  Not many teams give out the work load that Carolina gives him.

Agreed. He's been given the final play of the game twice now & he's gone 0-2. This time only inches short. Plus, he's tired, worn out & just froze his ass off.

That's gotta hurt. But it may also mean he'll run with fire next week vs. the Falcons. And you know he HATES the Saints.

      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.
