CMC isn’t breaking down. 

 

 

I was like that with Cam…. You’ll eventually get to acceptance

My worry about CMC is the guy might just be over-conditioning himself. We've all marveled at how swole the guy has been each year coming into camp. He's a workout monster for sure.

But could he actually be setting himself up time and again for these kinds of soft tissue injuries? Could the added muscle be a bit more than his body can take? Add to that the pounding his body takes each game and it can be worrisome. And if he's been paying too much attention to adding muscle mass and not enough to flexibility...

Nothing has happened to him that would accelerate his deterioration in speed or burst. His injuries have come from fatigue and playing him nearly every snap.

I’d probably throw denial in there somewhere but spot on otherwise

[Hoenheim]

If the Panthers can't win without him all that proves is he was a crutch and the team is trash without him . That's not a cmc problem that's a panthers team problem. 

I blame that mostly on coaches and o line being bad.

Told ya so... Told ya we should of traded him last year. would have gotten OL help and who knows what else. Could of Drafted Justin Fields and traded to move up again to grab a OL or DB. CMC will always be injury prone. He is not built for the role we want him to play. Derrick Henry is... CMC too fragile... Enjoy picking top 5 in draft this year and again next year as well.

Paying him that big contract is really biting us in the rear. 

 

Ive hated that contract since the second it happened, before all this missed games started....... Joke to pay any RB 16 mill per. I do not think anyone is close to 14 and its been 2 yrs, were as most top contracts have been replaced over and over... BUT NOT the panthers and their RB, bunch of dumbfugs....

CMC was in the open field not because of hits and he will last longer because his game is more to make you miss, Derrick Henry is a great player but he takes to many shots with his running style and you talk about force feeding somebody the ball that’s Henry .Warl Campbell was a bulldozer back in the day also but Emmitt Smith try to avoid a lot of contact and had the longer career.

...in hind sight...he should have been a WR...kinda Edelman like...he just takes sooo much punishment.

So Sam will be without his security blanket again this week. Here comes 3-3

He’s taking a very Cam’esque route in his career. Injuries piling up after a mega payday 

I'd argue that he's taking a very Cam'esque route in his career because he's carrying the offense. 

Cam - passing, rushing, avoiding the rush due to leaky o-line

CMC - rushing, receiving, pass blocking due to leaky o-line

Nice overreactions in this thread. CMC is an absolute beast. We win the last the two games with him in there.

Hes not injury prone the problem is we give him the balL every snap. That’s what has to change . 

he is overused

No different than Newton was to make up for every weakness in coaching and personnel. Same story, different player snd year    we all know this 

And Look, no one is saying he isn’t a spectacular player.  He is

Problem  is being spectacular not playing isn’t going to help the Panthers    He is going to get paid regardless 

it doesn’t matter if it is chronic or bad luck bottom line he is not on the field yet another year and unfortunately his salary is huge 

Barkley is in the same position except  his contract is not a killer.  Some Nfl players cannot stay on the field.  

I have felt all along this injury is more than is being told so for  his sake and the team’s  put him on god damned IR for six weeks and be fine with it 

Move On. they  have other players and those high paid coaches need to figure out how to use them

Use Tremble in the backfield with Hubbard . He can at least catch the ball

No matter what happened we were not drafting Fields, I wish you guys would move on from this poo. You guys hate people mentioning Cam when he actually played for us, but every other thread Fields is being brought up.

We were not picking him under any circumstance, maybe if he was still on the board in round 2.
