Wide receivers can play well into their 30s.

Running backs fall off a cliff in their mid 20s.

It's just a statistical fact, with a few very rare outliers.

 

you can also get good production out of running backs for a fraction of the cost. extending mccaffrey on a bad roster is just fan service. which hey maybe the new owner is more concerned with pleasing fans than winning. that would still be an improvement over mister after all

If you part with Cam, Luke (not our choice), Greg, and CMC all in the same off-season you don't just have to rebuild a team from scratch, you have to rebuild a fanbase from scratch.

Doesn't matter, Trevor Lawrence will bring the fans back when he's a stud.

One year of low ticket sales isn't a big deal.

We made it through Jimmy.

i saw a lot of fans dressed like empty seats

I did say "of all Panthers fans who were there," and besides, if we lose Luke, Cam, Greg and CMC in the offseason, the stands for kickoff of our first home game will look exactly like the present day.

From the other side of this perspective, if I'm CMC I'm probably demanding a trade right now. It's difficult to see this team competing for the next 2-3 seasons. Do you really want to spend your best years taking a pounding playing for a team that can't compete? That's what drove Barry Sanders into early retirement.

That’s incorrect. The peak age is 27-28. At 27, typically improving, the. At 28 they start to decline. CMC will turn 25 right before (hypothetical) Lawrence’s rookie year. 26 before 2nd year, 27 before 3rd year and 28 before 4th year. Since he is a June birthday, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt that he will start his decline in Lawrence’s 5th year. Certainly not broken down by his 2nd. Also, CMC can likely also transition to a 3rd down type RB which would really help a young QB. That’s why, I’d hand CMC his 2nd contract. Instead of 5th year option in 2021, make it a 5 year deal and then he’s good the first 4 years and you can even release him year 5 if he looks to be tailing off at all. He’d likely have no dead cap in year 5.

Anyway, CMC’s prime lines up with a rookie QB’s rookie contract. If Lawrence is solid, chances are you’ve already had a couple playoff runs before CMC’s 29 year old year.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      By TLGPanthersFan · Posted

      Yeah but at least that QB would be not short.  I keep going back to the fact other than Wilson no other short QB has ever won a Super Bowl. The success rate of short QBs is very, very low. Like count on one hand low.  Yeah some people would include Brees too but I don’t consider a 6 foot tall QB short, imo.

      2025 season

      I just rewatched all the highlights from after Bryce being benched. The Bryce hate needs to calm down a little bit. He showed a ton of potential the back half of the year. Same with Legette. They both made great plays when it mattered and a few mistakes when it counted. If we didn’t have a historically awful defense last year we could have ended even a bit better. Going into a brand new season we should be optimistic at least before game one. 2015 no one expected to go anywhere and the team steam rolled the league. I’m not saying that will happen, but hopefully we made strides to improve on the end of last year. Bryce put both Super Bowl teams in a battle last year and if we had a better D we could have taken them both. So at least look forward to the season and not past the season until it at least begins.

      Jabrill Peppers Available

      I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
