Christian McCaffrey: "They say I’ll miss 4-6 weeks, I’m hoping a lot less"

“They say four to six weeks,” McCaffrey said. “That’s a challenge to me. Hopefully I can get back a lot earlier. I’m going to attack this.”

If the Panthers put McCaffrey on injured reserve, he’d miss at least three weeks but could return after that thanks to the NFL’s special injured reserve rules for this season. It seems unlikely McCaffrey could be back any sooner than that, but he’s hoping that he can beat the 4-6 week projection.

 

I'm hoping our new training staff and HC show that they can be smart with their star players and keep them out when they're injured until they're 100%, especially in a season like this one... I will be extremely disappointed if McC isn't put on IR and misses at least 3-4 games. Don't let him try to rush back, it would be incredibly stupid.

If they say 4 to 6 and we are already out of contention, put him on ice. He doesn’t do us any good to rack up mileage in this waste of a year. Don’t care what we are paying him, I’d rather he be healthy and not worn down for a new QB.

From the team stand point, that makes obvious sense...but what kind of effect would that have on the relationship between him and the coaching staff? You would assume he'd be extremely furious if he could still pay after just a few weeks, and the team places him on IR.  I'm on the same boat of just letting him rest until the end of the year, but not if it'll tarnish the long term relationship between him and the team.

Cot dang it shut the hell up and sit down CMC, no need to wear him down and let this ‘linger for the next 3 years, just sit your ass down and don’t pull a cam Newton just because you want to play. This season is a damn loss anyway, go bang your gf and get ready for 2021

I don’t think they’ll IR him for the year or make him rest but if we are say 0-7 or 0-8 without him, which is very likely, the staff has to know there’s no point. If he’s back healthy and you want to play him, fine but Mike Davis sure as poo better be earning his top 10 RB salary. Split the carries and keep him fresh. There will be no records to achieve this year so splitting time and shutting him down early/with any reoccurrence should be easy.

If he's ready, let him play.  You let your fighter get lazy and he won't be there when you need him.  Mileage doesn't mean anything, look at Adrian Peterson.  Work ethic, mindset, determination mean a lot more and telling a healthy star RB he can't play is going to put a corkscrew in all 3.

Adrian Peterson and Frank Gore are outliers. Not a great example of what actually happens to typical NFL RB's.

      Renfrow is like a litmus test for Bryce and Dave's misses. And Ejiro's D is no D at all

      And, yes, I've been a slow boil, but watching continually watching shitty displays of football for weeks has me frustrated.

      Bryce just didn't maximize Hunter Renfrow's skills. ***rant incoming*** But this isn't just about Bryce Young mistiming passes to Renfrow so bad that he's going to get Renfrow killed or hurt, this is also about incompetentence by Dave Canales. Renfrow can still play. He's putting DBs in a blender out there---making them play twister at the top of routes to keep up with him, and dumb Dave has the nerve to cut him. How about putting Hunter in the best position to help the damned offense by appreciating his skill set, DC? You're letting Bryce's apparent inability to make an accurate throw, or at least his timidity to push the ball down the damned field cloud your judgment and miscalculate talent---or maybe just miss on talent just as much as Bryce misses passes due to playing pussified football. It's fúcking unacceptable.  Speaking of misjudgment, I don't know if it's Dan Morgan or Canales, but Eijiro Evero is not the business at DC. I have said a few times that his scheme is not conducive to run-stopping efficiency. Hell, and after watching some clips of plays, now I absolutely know why. The gaps are at least half open before the play even fúcking starts. You are setting the opposition's RBs up for success with too much damned space at the line and in the second level. If our guys are taken out in these areas---at the line and in the second level---then the defense is screwed because it must rely on the safeties to cover too much ground to make the tackle. At least put Ransom in who is motivated to seek and destroy if you're going to effectively leave the safeties on an island.  And speaking of rookies, get our two new defensive ends more snaps to see if we can't generate more of a pass rush. For all the good the continued sorry display of defense that you're putting out for fan's to see (Ejiro, Dave and Dan), you may as well get the rookies generously involved. Fúck that money we gave second-rate (maybe second-rate) vets, we need a damned spark getting after the QB. Watch it, it's just another breakdown of the sh¡t we were subjected to last week. I say this with all respect: Fúck you, Dave! Fúck you, Dan! Learn how to run a fúcking franchise. Maximize the players, regardless of what you think you're supposed to do by the book. Cut the dead weight before another season is lost and fans lose interest in September. EE is "Ew!" Or for emphasis "EEw!" /end rant

      But nobody is saying he is a good deep ball passer.  But the facts are since he's returned from his benching, he has been throwing downfield.  Whether you want to credit the scheme, Bryce himself, or whatever, he has been pushing it deep.  Not to any positive results mind you, but it has been happening.
