One Immediate Change I Noticed...

And I'm guessing there is a direct correlation with Ron no longer being the coach...  

It appears that CMC took noticeably less snaps.  I tried to find the snap counts to verify, but I don't think they've been posted anywhere yet...  but, my initial impression was that he was out there less than we've been seeing under Rivera.

CMC is roughly 280 yards away from a 1000 yard receiving year to go with what will be nearly 1500 rushing yards. 
 

CMC is going to get at least 30 touches a game over the last three games to see him hit those numbers. 

Agreed. At this point doing so becomes part of keeping him happy so he doesn't force his way off the team via free agency in a couple years. If we can't surround him with a winning team this year at least give him every chance to hit some individual acheivements. Glad to see his snap count down at least slightly though, instead of being out there nonstop.

The difference would be Scott vs his father. We saw pretty significant changes between how positions are used between our 3 offensive coordinators under Rivera. That he micromanaged players snap counts is silly. Shula utilized multiple backs. Norv super heavily relied on one.

    • Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?
    • Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
