He is on pace for 500 touches which would be most in nfl history a record that has been held by James Wilder since 1984. They just paid one of their top wideouts 37 million dollars. Spread the ball around.

You can't extrapolate from one game.  That's like saying Winston's on pace for 85 TD passes.

There is always a reversion to the mean.

His on pace average is right there if you look up the numbers yourself. He averaged 25 touches per game the last two seasons it stands to reason he will continue to see that minimum moving forward for the time being so yes he could and likely will see between 25 and 30 several more times minimum this season.

Want to know whats wrong with this frankly? I'll tell you those 5 touches that you say are right "there" in line amount to an extra 85 touches over a season that's not "right there".

25 per game was good enough for most in the nfl in 2019. Unless the Panthers are blowing a team out or he gets banged up that minimum seems likely to remain. The difference of 5 will depend heavily on our ability to close out games which has been an issue and we nursed a 5 point lead against the worst team in the league as it was this past weekend.

Frank has gotten Fred Weis'd several times in this thread, but it's fun to watch the back-and-forth between hyperbolic claim, disproved point and then the moving of the goalposts (with a little jab at me here and there).

Weren't you the guy who lost your marbles over Luke Kuechly in Bills attire? Just move along.

Talking about 500 games after a sample size of one game to predict touches over 17 games... come on, man. And, that would be a shocker to have usage and other records broken the season the season gains another game.

Players play. Coaches don't get paid to keep their best players on the bench. Injuries happen to even the most coddled assets.

The greats want to be on the field, you can't keep them off of it and you don't want to see the great being kept off the field. CMC is one of those guys.

yall always say this as if fatigue management isn't a regular thing done by coaches every game

The next five weeks are the Saints Texans Cowboys Eagles and Vikings. Each team averaged 24-38 points in week one while we failed to put up 20. It's a safe bet to say McCaffrey's usage isn't likely going down through that stretch. We'll see about the second half of the schedule.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
