i do disagree with the premise of this thread though. a running back doesn't move the needle like that anymore. if we have one of the worst rosters in the league, we will pick near the top of the draft whether mccaffrey is here or not.

Do you plan on attending any games next season? I'm going to start asking the "trade every good player we have forever" crowd. If you're gonna just take the year off because the team sucks, maybe there's a fundamental problem with what you're advocating.

What is this obsession to tank for 2021...

that worked out horribly for the Colts. They had some playoff runs with Andrew but it did not result in a Super Bowl and he lost his desire to even play football.

its just stupid to tank for a future where the success of future draft picks is impossible to predict

What? How did it not work out? I guess tanking for Cam didn’t either since he never won a SB. Damn Cam sucked. I don’t know why people get so hung up on Luck. It was a great pick by Indy that like Cam, got derailed by injuries. Indy was 1-15. They went to the playoffs three straight years starting with Luck’s rookie year. 11-5 every year and the best they did was the AFC Championship. They lost to the eventual SB champion in two of his 3 playoff years until he got hurt and then it was all over. His recurring injuries were what caused him to retire. It looked like he was going to miss last year as well, which would have been his 3rd almost entire season. Cam’s been hurt but only really missed 1 entire season.

No shoulder problem and Indy likely makes 8-10 playoff appearances with Luck instead of 4 (made 4 of 5 when healthy). We made 4 of 7 when Cam was healthy and starting to get nicked up. I still don’t think it wasn’t a good tank. It worked until he got hurt.

it's 2020. people aren't going through the trouble of going to a game they know they're going to lose just because they have a thing for the running back. cash out on this running back while you still can. the alternative is having perhaps the highest paid running back in league history (lol) on what will still be a shitty team. won't be long until people look back at this moment and say "we really should have gotten value out of our running back while we could"

We all know the real reason you want him gone.

To all of the people against trading CMC, ask yourself, how would you feel if

We're 2-13 heading into the last game of next season.  In the final game of the season, CMC wills us to a gritty victory, rushing for 212 yards and 120 receiving.

We slide out of the top 2 and watch Trevor Lawrence win multiple Super Bowls for another team.  Missing out on the top pick, we are forced to stick with Teddy Bridgewater, and miss the playoffs for the next decade.

yeah running back is a low value position with a short shelf life and it makes no sense for the team to hand a gigantic contract to one when you have no hope of competing in the next few years at best. if you trade him now you maximize the return of assets that can be used to build toward the future of this team.

you're telling on yourself as people like you often do.

sticking with a quarterback like bridgewater is the doomsday scenario for those people lol. it was hard enough on them with cam when he was playing at an mvp level for their alleged favorite team. though fields would be a nightmare as well so they might appreciate a few meaningless wins if it pushes him out of reach.

McCaffery doesnt win or lose games on his own.  We literally force fed him the last 3 games and he won none.

We've all seen what McCaffrey can do, he can break games open, and will win even the worst team in the NFL to a couple of wins.

You don't think if CMC was on the Bengals last year they eke out 2 extra wins?  There will be a few 200 yard CMC games that we unfortunately win if we don't trade him.

On the other hand, by the time Lawrence is in his 2nd season, CMC will be an old and broken down running back on a maximum salary.

So there's no reason to hang on to CMC.  He costs us draft position this year, and won't be in his prime by the time our new QB is ready.

The only reason to keep him at this point would be to sell tickets and merch.  So this is a test of how bad Tepper wants to win versus make money.

      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

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      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.
