You must not understand how productivity is measured.  
 

why can’t his YPC or YAC go up tremendously under Rhule and Brady?  There’s a way to be more productive with less touches, you know?  

That's efficiency, not productivity. There's no reason that he can't be more efficient. But if you're paying a guy like he's going to be the most productive running back in the league, and you're also using him less, then you have to pay somebody else to take all of that extra work.

My real problem is with extending him now and locking in a contract that reflects the most productive season he's ever going to have instead of bringing his workload down next season and seeing what happens, then coming back to work on a contract that's more in line with what you're going to get moving forward.

Total Yards:

2009 - 2,509
2010 - 1,609
2011 - 1,465
2012 - 1,475
2013 - 1,422

Yea, he was awful following a HISTORIC 2009! /s

Lol - thanks for posting.  I was just about to pull this up.  Johnson went downhill as a result of joining the Jets, a move he said lead to the end of his career.

Adrian Peterson is 34 and still rushing for over 4 YPC and 1000 yards a year

If you don't pay that dude your an idiot. This was inevitable and saying any amount we pay him is stupid is short sighted on your part. CMC was the best player on the roster with Luke and Cam Healthy. This is a new Era of panthers and CMC is the horse. Surround him with talent, build a great defense and you got a shot.

The money had to be spent on him, plain and simple he produces to much for anything less than what he got paid. And honestly a 4 year contract seems very reasonable bc at the 6 year mark Running backs tend to slow down. And right now while McCaffrey can do it all, you pay him like he can.

 

Plain and Simple. Any alternative to that opinion just can't be pleased what so ever. I think this was our best move yet as it was the expected one, and also one that was the most necessary.

History repeats itself. The ones ok with this will be angry with Hurney about it soon enough.

If you look and see which Huddlers are ok with it they’re the ones that don’t understand contracts/cap situations. 
 

This deal was extremely unnecessary given he had a year left and then a 5th year option left on his current deal. We then could’ve tagged him if we wanted. 
 

This organization seems to have no idea in which direction they want to go

This is a 4 year extension.  He will play the next two years under his rookie deal .  The advantage for him is that he get upfront money and guarantees, the advantage for the Panthers is that future salaries will go up with a new TV contract.

Bingo, why the hell they forced fed him the ball in a ruined season is asinine

Or look at Adrian Peterson, who is still averaging over 4 YPC at age 34

You can't look at outliers and assume that is the standard result. Just look at the last 3-4 offseasons and the RB's who have signed mega deals. The results have been poor.

Will CMC have a long productive career? It's possible but he would be the exception and not the rule.

why stop at 13.  Why not factor in the extension?  Also would you pay a rb to be the highest paid ever at 1500yards avg?

Pretty sure he started where you asked him to, and then added a few years to make a valid point.

      Hubbard says he might have rushed back

      I agree it is more about the OL. If you happen to have a world beater with a great OL then that’s better obviously but you don’t need to have that.  Capable and durable guys that can get to the second level with good blocking can be plenty.

      I think Gibbs is special, but you’re right, some of the top investments have proven to not be much different than some 2nds and 3rds. Taylor for example is on an MVP level season. James Cook is doing better than Breece Hall for example. Raiders weren’t in a good spot to draft Jeanty. Same with the Falcons/Bijan.  You gotta swing at the right time — the investment shouldn’t come too early. You almost have to stumble into a guy mid to late rounds while building or find that guy to put you over the top when the team is finally well rounded.

      Like I said in another post yesterday, the handling of the offensive line by Fitterer and mostly Morgan has been crazy. We've spent way too much money(Lewis and Hunt) to keep Bryce upright instead of using our picks in the 2nd round on JPJ and Frazier. Could have kept an injured Corbett at guard, Brady at swing, and still taken Maye as a backup, sorry Zavala. We wouldn't have taken XL, but XL hasn't been as advertised anyway, and Brooks hasn't contributed anything. Moton's extension with it's signing bonus made him uncutable. Icky's contract was due at the same time Bryce's 3rd year ended, and we all know it's extension or 5th year, and if we're going to do a 5th year, he's going to want the extension.  To me the whole thing is just ridiculous. Right now, depending on if Tepper decides to keep Bryce, it feels like we're going to have to choose between Icky and a Bryce extension. Maybe he plays on the 5th year, but I think he'll want the big money guarantee.  JMO, but if you took a look at how the contracts could potentially fall, the writing was on the wall that this could be a cash flow nightmare. Too many contract guarantees, not enough rookie contracts to offset the upcoming paydays.
