Would this team have won a game this season without CMC?

In every victory, CMC has carried a massive share of the offense on his shoulders. Would the Panthers have won even a single game without him? Maybe a case could be made for the Cardinals game, or maybe the Texans game, but McCaffrey played a big role in those wins too. 

Honestly, without him, I think the Panthers had a realistic chance to have finished 0-16 this season.

When you think about, they might have won a couple without him at the goal line.  But I see your point, all those games with 200+ yards a couple scores might not have been wins.  The Jax game comes to mind. Still blows my mind how this team beat Houston and Tenn.

No one cares. We have 5 wins with him. He is not the QB.  He can not carry a team to victory. Are you guys blind?

To be fair, remove the best player from any team and things are gonna decline.

So yeah, minus McCaffrey we'd be lucky to win a game.

This is true.

We pretty much lost our best player after the Pittsburgh game last year, and it’s been a downward spiral since

Newton wouldn't have been the best player on the field this season.

Last season maybe, but not this year.

He’s been injured, so of course not for this season.

We were 6-2, and he was having a statistically great season before the shoulder fell apart last season; proving that he had made the transition from dual threat to pocket passer. When he’s healthy, he is our best player and most important.

Even if he has been healthy this season, I'd still have said McCaffrey was our best player. The MVP talk was legit.

That said, you're right about the improvement that Newton made last season. One offseason under Norv Turner was enough to show what we could have had if Rivera hadn't been so damn loyal to Mike Shula.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      You would hope so. I’m confused why the sports world seems split on Bryce when he’s obviously not working out.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      So let’s do the reverse? Make everyone agree everything he does is a disaster? I also think the whole “gaslighting” is on the eye of the beholder. It went from he can’t avoid one single sack countered with he actually did that well Sunday (with data backing it) to a little breakdown of why he is so bad. People are going to have different opinions. I’m also not going to pretend this wasn’t happening Day one with this little QB.

      All this great stuff he has done, how often does he do it?  I have it at three or four games out of 14 where he was very good and then you get a drive here or a series there where there are some good things. Here is the gaslight part: everyone has put him on a curve with his first year the baseline, neglecting to understand how bad he was then. Even if he comes back twice as good, where does that really leave him? 25th ranked or thereabouts.     He had so far to go, and still does, it is a Major ‘settle’ to accept his play as worthy of giving him our future.  You want to settle when the Bucs have Mayfield, and the Saints have overtaken us at QB? We will be third in the division at QB. That is good enough for y’all?
