Exactly. Unless its required for a trade involving a player of Watsons caliber, those guys are untouchable. I'm not advocating trading them, just that of our "assets", CMC, because of that contract, I would rank 5th. 

Yep. Personnel people and coaches (especially coaches) want to make the best of the people they've already acquired, not ship them off for the fun and enjoyment of drafting somebody else and starting all over from scratch.

This isn't college where you have a whole new team every three or four years. 

And it sure as hell isn't Madden.

It just doesn’t make sense paying for a rb when we had mike davis and it was only a slight difference 

You can't unsign that contract we have with CMC. What is done is done.

You adjust and move on. You don’t try to trade a dude that, again I will point out, is literally at the lowest trade value of his young NFL career. The odds of obtaining the assets in return to make that worthwhile are EXTREMELY low.

I understand where the OP is coming from though, especially when the league has devalued the position for the last 10 years. However, I believe CMC’s best days are ahead of him, and it may not even be as a RB. If and when the Panthers decide to line him up in the slot, watch out. He is Ed McCaffery’s son after all and he has a tremendous catch radius. Good times ahead, if he stays healthy.

I have never been a proponent of large RB contracts.  One can think back on the Double Trouble debacle.

However, CMC is a bit more than a RB and will be used a lot in situations to gain back the productivity of losing Samuel.  We had a lot of firepower with the 3 WR's and this year, it will be 2 WR's and a RB.

Besides, high contract and an injury do not spell good trade value.

After an injury he will not be the same , we could still get nice capital from him , look at gurly and leveon bell it’s not a good investment spending on running backs 

People don't live in reality around here, but honestly, you're speaking truth.  The compensation would need to be significant though.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By TD alt · Posted

      I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
