Time to change things with CMC

Just can't allow the thirty touches a game for CMC anymore. No matter how tough he is, he will be worn down to a nub by the time the stretch run comes and possibly seriously hurt.

The Oline cannot run block for sh%t. They kept a boat load of TE's. So why not go with two TE sets MORE with either Hubbard/Reese to give some run blocking help. You can also use set to decoy run and sent them out to the flat or downfield to loosen up the defense.

They need to change with the situation and this is time to do something that will still give us a running threat and a passing threat when CMC isn't in the game.

Exactly. It’s smart to limit some touches but you utilize your best players and the idea his prime window is closing is laughable.

We played a Thursday night game. He had a short week of rest. I feel pretty confident that has much more to do with it. It’s the 3rd game of the season ffs, it’s not like he’s been getting 30 touches for 12 weeks now. It’s been two games lol

How about fifty touches a game....or maybe sixty?....no problem? He is not Superman.

It wouldn’t be the huddle without overreacting.

Dude is two and a half games into the season and he barely played last year and we are boiling it down to his workload? Lmao 

Yeah. He gets a lot of touches. He’s our best player. No, that isn’t why he’s hurt. 
 

Teams used to run way more than they do today. Players like Tomlinson, Faulk, Alexander, Holmes did this regularly for years. CMC is young and has not even played much for the last year. We are two games in. This isn’t a workload issue lol

I thought going into the season CMC may end up being a injury prone player. He ends up getting injured and missing a few reps in one game and gets hurt yesterday. With the workload we give him I’m worried if he just isn’t going to make it long in the NFL.

There’s 0% chance his injury isn’t related to work load+short week. Thursday games give no time for recovery. These non contact injuries don’t just fall out of the sky. It’s all related to rest, recovery, diet, genetics, and work load. Unfortunately it appears CMC can’t handle 30 touches a game. So stop doing it

      I think the issue is there isn't any more of these posters still active on this site.  Everyone I see posting now either doesn't like Bryce or wants to see him in a better situation to make a better assessment.  I think everyone agrees he has work to do in order to show us he can become the QB we need him to.  Who knows if he will or if he can, but there are definitely other conversations to be had without being stuck on repeat and every thread turning into the same one.  It sounds like you need to find the Bryce Fan Boys from before the draft and just vent/hash it all out with them somewhere.

      Least excitment before any season?

      By PanthersGTI · Posted

      I am excited! New coaching staff that has a plan and vision and finally the whole team/front office seems to be moving in lockstep. We got 2 new WRs. One in XL a rookie who looks like a beast and the other in DJ who is an absolute weapon. Excited to see Brooks and Sanders ( TE ). We got some Oline help finally. Excited to see if BY9 is the guy ( I think so, but we'll see ). Defense gets a 2nd year and hopefully some help from offense and I believe Evero can coach them to be VERY good this year. ST should be interesting because kick offs are completley new.   I was just thinking the other day I can't wait for preseason to start. Always signals the start of actual football for me.

      I think the people who contort themselves into a pretzel to act like the whole world is against Bryce just can't reconcile with the fact that none of this is any different than the discussions Panthers fans have had over any of the other failed QB's the last 5 years. Of course the *on field* difference is we didn't bottom out completely with any of those QB's. Appreciate your kind words.
