Idk I was telling someone the other day it’s weird how quiet they have been about him. His first couple years u would see a video everyday at camp of him doing something crazy. Idk but the Panthers have been weird about the reports coming from camp, so secretive. Kinda weird imo!

Yes, he should be back to his old dominating self this year.  Considering that his injuries last year were not serious, did not require surgery, and that he likely would have been playing had we been in contention, I think all systems are go.  Expect a gigantic season from him:

2200 total yards

1200 rushing

1000 receiving

105 catches

23 total TDs.

If we're smart he's getting light work anyway.

 

Can you explain what you mean? I don't believe your best player should be beat into the ground. We should spread it around, spell McCaffrey more than we have in the past, but he shouldn't be getting "light work".

Light work in training camp? Yeah he should. RBs have a short enough shelf life as it is.

If McCaffrey has 100 plus catches it will sadly be to the detriment of the offense. That is more than either Robby or DJ had last year. The best value 22 has for us is the attention he commands. We have many weapons now. Put them all to use and make Sam's life easier.

And he ain't exactly fighting for a roster spot. Seriously, I shiver to think of him picking up a blitz from some on-the-fringe LB in camp.

We have a rookie who needs the snaps a lot more right now. We know what we have in CMC and we'll let him get his feet wet in the preseason. I hope we'll let Hubbard ease up the burden of his workload a little, but I expect him to be getting a ton of work when the games start counting.

I haven't seen anything about CMC lately - Is he back to pre-injury form? I finally get to pick #1 in my FF league, and plan to pick CMC, unless there are any red flags - How does he look?

Your mouse cursor should be on his name and as soon as your draft starts and you hear the jingle - you should just be clicking on cmc

    • I am not sure it should be a ‘sell out to go to the SB’ season. And hope they don’t.  At the same time I was thinking you absolutely must find out if you want to pay for Bryce or not. That means putting it on him. No protecting and trying to hide weaknesses with the run game and a super conservative calls.  So I wish they would do it and find out, win or lose, 2026. No more developing. Time to do it. Let’s see once and for all. 
    • My biggest fear with Bryce Young is that he will always do just enough to stick around. He shows flashes and then drops a turd so the hopium is always there. Like his career highlight reel if you cut it up to some hype music and did a YouTube video would actually be quite good. His great plays really, really look good. But after that video you look at his yearly averages for completion percentage, yardage, touchdowns, and virtually every other metric and it is meh as fug. Like you know Bryce is gonna be 13/23 for 157 yards a touchdown and probably a pick.  I will 100% give him his flowers for his athleticism and ability to scramble outside the pocket. I haven’t seen the mythical “super processing ability” he was touted for per se, but he has shown flashes of absolutely elite awareness when it comes to scrambling. The little basketball move he does to shake defensive linemen has almost become a signature move. It’s hard to explain but you know it when you see it he stops on a dime and pivots like he is gonna hit a step back jumper and it has gotten him out of a lot of trouble.  I sincerely, truly, as a vocal Bryce HATER, hope that since we are obviously running with him next year the coaching staff actually tailors plays around his strengths. He needs to be in a pure spread IMO. His size is much less of a hindrance when he can play QB in open space. I feel like most of his highlight reel is from scrambles and play action/bootlegs.
