I know it's only been 1.5 games, but dare I say it...

[Call Me James]

We look better without CmC. 

 

[Varking]

This board is going to get so hurt jumping on and off bandwagons so early in the season. 

[Shocker]

[Happy Panther]

Our offense is better with CMC. We are better when our defense gets pressure.

[SaltLifeAcrosstheBelly]

We need an elite pass rusher. If we offered CMC for J.J. Watt, straight up, do you say no if you're Pittsburgh?

[Mage]

The team playing better doesn't = the team is better without CMC.  It isn't like offense was necessarily the problem in Week 1.  Coaches and players have gotten in a groove, everyone is buying into the system

[WarPanthers89]

Terrible terrible thread. He’s a player every team in the league would kill to get. Can’t we just be excited that we are playing well as a team, rather than bashing our best player in the process because he is injured? I’m waiting on the “trade Okung we are playing great without him” thread next. 

[TheCasillas]

i cant imagine how much better we would be with CMC on offense. I can't until he gets back. Make every touch he geets even more valuable as opposed to just give and hope. Qualitive instead of quantitative. 

[Pantherxtreme]

No Mccaffrey is an all-pro running back you don't get better by not having him on the field. The overall play of the team has gotten better though. So when comes back we will have our full arsenal.

I said in the prediction thread if we were to go 2-2 it would be based on our defense making plays and limiting the cards. 

But the power running game seems to have helped open up offense.

All that matters are wins and losses. Don't poo on the team because they're winning without your favorite player. 

[ForJimmy]

I think it just players getting comfortable in the new system.

[Jeremy Igo]

Matt Rhule said he wanted to be a better team for when CMC returns.

 

At this point , that looks likely.

Oh my sweet summer child...
