Its a possibility that we're 0-5 when he's eligible to return, in that case, is it better to keep him fresh for a not-wrecked season, or still bring him back?  I for one would say save the mileage and get him a hundred percent for next season.  Rb lifespans in the NFL are short and he's to special of a player to waste in a dead Season.

It sounds good for the fans to say but you don't bury your best player when they are healthy. First, he's getting paid a shitload of money to play. Second, it sends a bad message to the team that you are literally not trying.

I might go for keeping him out an extra couple of weeks, but that is about it.  The extra weeks would ensure he understands he is not still playing under Rivera, who would tell him to just rub some dirt on it an go back out there.

I agree with that. There should be no playing at 80% recovered or 90% recovered. Be healed or stay on the bench. If you invest that much money in a player, you don't then flush that all down the toilet.

The money is irrelevent at this point since so much is guaranteed, and if you're Tepper you have to look and see what happened to Saquon Barkley and wonder if we should use our best asset in that way at this point because that torn ACL is a beast of an injury for a RB to come back from.  I know the players may not "like" it, but they are also themselves playing for jobs.  For instance, If Mike Davis wants to get paid, this would be his opportunity because he's a FA next offseason, and any player that would "give up" because we saved CMC for next season isn't worth keeping and building around.

Agree, but it should be taken under consideration to hold him out until he is truly 100%, not "NFL 100%." If that's 4 weeks, 6 weeks, 8 weeks or whatever I don't care, but don't rush him back even slightly.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      Well yeah. Last time vs NO if we had had good QB play and half ass pass pro it is a different game. And that is the story more often, in point of fact, than the two or three hero games everyone wants to use to define the player.  That box was so stacked against the run it was basically impossible to break through it, you had to go over and around. It is what we knew was gonna be employed by teams and we were unable to stop them from doing it.    I am real interested to see the first 3rd and 8 and see how NO defenses it in the back end. Because they can look at that Rams tape and learn, but will they have enough fear/respect that it can happen to them or will we need to prove it again before they do?   Most people don’t learn from others’ mistakes and  need to make their own.

      Interview Tillis with Jordan Rodrigue on team building. Interesting

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      I like that Tillis is so down to earth  we will see where it goes ill say something controversial on a day that, along with next week, determines the panthers 2025  and 2026 fate  he referenced ‘money ball’, statistics and self scouting multiple times. it really makes me feel that Bryce will be back regardless of what happens over the next 4 games as that is the smart move for financial stability but by no means does that guarantee Bryce anything past that.  They will improve year over year regardless of position or who is affected       however, they will do the appropriate diligence and not cut off their nose to spite their face….it won’t be an emotional decision…unlike us Huddlers….for example, if Young’s happy ass shits the bed today, I’ll be less than pleased ..particularly having seen what they will do and having a bye week.  Brandon Staley is a good defensive coordinator and former HC.  His defense is aging but he can still develop a good game plan
