When CMC comes back

What should this offense look like?

I hope he splits carries with Mike Davis 60/40 and gets more touches in the passing game with underneath throws. Maybe even line up with more split back sets. 

I think it’s a real positive that Davis has shown he can make an impact and can help minimize the wear and tear on CMC.  This would ensure he can make plays with fresh legs throughout the season.

I actually don't think we change much, except give Davis and Bonnefon a few more touches/snaps. Our offense has clicked a little bit better the past 2 games but I don't think it has anything to do with McC. The OL is clicking and Brady is getting more comfortable with calling plays against NFL defenses. Reason for these 2 wins has been improvement on D. I don't think the O has actually been much better these last 2 games than the first 2 games.

The problem we've had in the past was that nobody not named McCaffrey gave opposing DCs any reason to be hugely concerned.

I still wouldn't say we're to the point where any other players are striking fear on the other side, but it would be nice if we could get there.

I'd actually be interested in seeing if Brady calls some plays with 2 RBs on the field and takes advantage of CMC as a route runner. Davis seems big enough to block should the defense have a light box and CMC is a better receiver than Samuel. It could be a good addition to the offense.

I disagree. We’re able to milk the clock by running the ball effectively and putting together demoralizing drives that take 10 - 15 plays. Davis was a huge part of that yesterday and would hate to see him have a significantly diminished role when he returns

I think there has to be a balance.

CMC is a phenomenal talent.  It doesn't have to ride on his shoulders.  If CMC is feeling it and popping off big gains on a defense, you don't take him out to spread the touches, but if you need to change things up, Davis is there.  Reggie is a great compliment to CMC as well.

CMC is still the man in our offense, but if we can keep setting up 10+ play drives a game, there's more than enough touches to go around.  We just have to keep being efficient on 3rd down!

Then the others should get good matchups

I'm for a steady rotation of all 3....Mike & Reggie have proven they can run, add in CMC and then ratchet the pace up to a LMU/Kimble/Gathers level and run the other team off the field week-in, week-out!

My sense is Brady is going to find playing time for a whole bunch of guys...

I'll say this.

I like what I've seen out of Davis AND Bonnafon.

Reggie looks a lot more like CMC than Davis does. But Davis is a grinder that wears out the line to make room for guys like CMC and Reggie.

I'd love to keep all three in the rotation.

TB100%H - We should trade CMC. We should have traded him before he ever signed an extension. I called it a bad move then and I still believe it was. If what we're seeing now is an indicator of anything, it is that you can have success without having the highest paid RB in the league.

But CMC isn’t just any running back. He is a legitimate threat in the passing game and can break the game open with a simple screen pass. Trading him would be insane

Not if the haul was worth it.

Davis and Bonnafon have held their own when given the opportunity for the Panthers.

I like CMC and admit what a special talent he is as much as anyone. But if someone offers me two first round picks and some other player(s) that can help solidify my roster for 3-4 years, the deal is done.

I also feel as tho Davis + Bonafon can replace CMC.

      Known Prospect Meetings with Panthers

      Taking only players from the sheet that are realistically available in or after the listed round, I’d like… 1st: DT Caleb Banks (Styles not realistic) 2nd: LB Jacob Rodriguez 3rd: OT Best available from Bowry, Barber, and Casey 4th: CB Daylen Everette 5th: S Jalen Huskey 6th: RB Adam Randall 7th: IOL Best available from Lemieux, Dawkins, Leausa, and Brose   I know nothing about some of the players listed, but it seems like that would be the best way it could fall for now. I’m sure the list of who we meet will change a ton, and there will also be players we don’t meet with to keep quiet. I’d love to pick up Randall in the late rounds.

      Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think

      Not what I said. They know within the building why we aren't utilizing TEs more. If the rumors were true that we were seriously pursuing a couple of decent receiving TEs that strongly points toward a lack of quality receiving TEs currently on the roster. Does that mean we consider drafting one at 19? I don't know, but it wouldn't shock me and if we did there's only one guy it would be. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see TE drafting somewhere in the first three rounds.

      Yeah, I don’t know. Tepper was behind the Bryce selection. Behind firings and hiring over his lack of development.  He doesn’t have to literally tell them their hands are tied for them to know this. It is in the air constantly. The Canales Bryce play calling was even portrayed by more than one person as Canales failing Bryce, instead of Bryce being responsible for his own performance (except when he does well, then it is all him). Now they have an extra coach in, to help the new OC get results from this QB.  The atmosphere is not welcoming to prototypical young QBs that have talent. You get Jake Plummer types or old vets. I think we are stuck.
