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.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
