When you have a RB having one of the best seasons for a RB ever and the team is still 5-11 that shows how important a good RB is ..

When you have a QB having one of the best seasons for a QB ever you win Super Bowls

Neither are necessarily true. Quit pulling stuff out of your ass and back up your attempt at a thought with facts and figures or don't bother posting a baseless opinion

What do Saquon Barkley, Nick Chubb, Christian McCaffrey, Ezekiel Elliott, Todd Gurley, Leonard Fournette, and Josh Jacobs have in common

0 playoff appearances this year

Don't draft RBs in the top 10, don't give them second contracts

No matter how good they are

One player doesn't make a team. Most teams picked those players high because they completely suck as an organization. A lot of good QBs picked high haven't won anything. A lot of running backs picked high have won. This thought is dumb and based on nothing. You can't win without a running game

Good teams and good GMs don't draft running backs in the top of the 1st round

Name me one who does

The argument isn't that you can win without a running game .. it's that you can plug and play at RB .. any 4th round RB with the volume we gave McCaffrey would have numbers

there’s value in having a good running game and there’s a lot of value in having a top tier running back on a rookie deal but you probably don’t want to be in the position where you have to run the offense entirely through your running back, as this year’s offense demonstrates. it was good for mccaffrey’s stat line though. too bad his value is erased when he’s made the top paid running back in the league. if we’re rebuilding we should probably trade him this offseason

That's a convenient list. The Rams went to the super bowl last year and the Cowboys have gone to the playoffs multiple times since drafting Elliot with a chance still to make it this year. The Raiders didn't add any high profile free agents and took Jacobs in the 1st who legitimized their running game and now they've got a chance to make the playoffs this year.

There's not a single position that has the impact of qb and you're not going to draft a qb every time you're in the top 10. We had a healthy Cam when we drafted CMC. Who could we have drafted that year who would have helped us win more games, qb aside?

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
