I kind of honestly wanted to make a thread title longer than that other dudes thread titles about Big Ben and Cam but we can still talk about the Panthers I think. How do you think Matt Rhule will use Christian McCaffrey in the same way as Norv Turner?

It does beg the question given how he ran offense in college, he preferred having a bigger back that could run you over out of the spread scheme or out of their power formations. Do you think we see similar usage, or are we going to run McCaffrey more and lower his numbers within the passing game?

How could be possibly run him any more?? I'd like to see him run less, if anything. He is gonna have 9 seasons of usage by the time his rookie deal is done.

Wow I logged in and thought something weird happened to my phone. Back to back paragraphed thread titles. 
 

the question is presented in the title interestingly. I’d say he will use him the same in the fact that CMC is an elite RB with solid reliable hands, so he will use him frequently. 
 

honestly I hope that Rhule can continue to build the offense for speed and give the QB a line to work with so the passing can get spread out a little and not rely on check downs so much. I’d be ok with smaller numbers for McCaffrey if it means the defenses are forced to stay honest and and we find a way to keep them on their heels.

Given McCaffrey can play between the tackles and outside and I expect him to be more jacked this year, why would you not keep him and use him regularly? He isn't declining due to overuse and has done something only two folks have ever done in the history of the league. Football coaches find a place for guys like him.

    • 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.
