Apparently you two have no concept of the word "talent," which often dictates who gets the ball in important situations. You see, the goal of a football game is to win, which is achieved primarily through using a team's best players when the situations arise. 

"Winning" can be achieved by using multiple RBs, which I'd suggest in not giving CMC 30 touches every week, but resting a player on an important down because "the whole team duh" is a better option, is dumb as hell

The Carolina Panthers record the last two seasons speaks for itself. Stay mad dude.

Ha you got me. Gotta take what you can get right? Sounds like Panthers fans the last few years with our moral victories and meaningless records. Here's to hoping '21 is different 🍺

Dude I don't want us to run McCaffrey in the ground anymore than anyone else, I'm just saying that when he's had a year of rest and no preseason action, Week 1 was the best time to give him 30 touches (especially with many of them not being between the tackles).

All bluster and back and forth aside I don't think you do we all seek the same thing. We know CMC is one of the top offensive weapons in the league but we also made the decision to extend him to a large contract before we got our oline even halfway built up right and we have made very little effort to locate a correct back to spell him and offer a yin to his yang and this is why we find ourselves in this dilemma. I do not think he is a goal line 3rd and 1 or 4th and 1 back he just isn't built for it I don't know how many times we have to see that fail before we understand what works and it's the same maddening thing with a new staff and I say that while making it clear I like Matt Rhule and want him to succeed. As of rn we are far too predictable and struggling in the redzone and that is a carryover from the previous regime we really do not want to see. I fear we made a mistake in only rolling with Chuba behind CMC and thinking we were good but we shall see. We need a guy who can punch it in on those short yardage situations and if it isn't anyone on the roster they're willing to give a chance to like Royce they need to locate him or this season is going to get rough. That's about it.

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      But that's the point, if the locker room feels that way, then you're going to upset them by still keeping Bryce around and playing him over the Top 10 pick. Again, it goes one of 3 ways... 1. Bryce plays well enough to earn an extension 2. Bryce still sucks and we draft his replacement who starts Week 1 with a new QB as his backup 3. Bryce still sucks, we draft his replacement in the 1st, but they start the season backing up a new vet QB who was brought in to be his mentor. With an OUTSIDE chance at a 4th option where Bryce plays well enough to convince the team to let him play out the 5th year option and then make a decision.  Which I can't see it happening, but there is still a non zero chance of that happening I guess. The only way we draft a QB next year and still have Bryce on the roster, is if we're taking someone in the middle rounds hoping to develop them as a long term backup to Bryce.

      I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else.  Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame.  I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man.  Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look.  And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing.

      Lot of passion there.  Look, if Bryce plays down to the level that we feel the need to draft a QB high, you don’t think the locker room might be ready for anything that helps them win?   There are s lot of angles to this that could come into play depending on what happens this year.
