No one is going to feel sorry for or rescue the Panthers 

CMC not being available is becoming predictable 

Really do not understand the play calls last week against the number 31 running team defense 

put Tremble in the back field along with Chubba. At least Tommy can run and block AND catch 

IR Maccaffery and be done with it.  Another lost season for a position that doesn’t have many seasons is looking likely, unfortunately 

after all, they aren’t the ‘Carolina Maccfreys’ right Erving   Time to prove it or another wasted season

CMCs money is not an issue, it’s using him correctly, having a competent compliment, and building an oline that makes it not worth it. If those were not in the plans he never should’ve been resigned. If he was going to run up the middle behind traffic cones instead of in the slot or around the edges it was wasted money.  All you have to do is look at the flaccid offense without him to see he’s worth it.

The first thing this team should’ve done after singing him is start slowly developing cmc and game plans with him more as a receiving threat. He is a generational talent, this is not even close to being beyond him or his ability.

The second thing is get someone competent to help carry the load and take hits aka Tolbert. Hasn’t been done, or used, for four years now despite BS coach speak. If you had no complement, or at least one wouldn’t be used, so you wear cmc down with an absurd amount of carries, again a waste of money.

As an offense I’d rather roll with Moore and CMC than Moore and Anderson. What’s the difference? All money towards the cap. 

So I do agree using him as a traditional back and excuse to be fuging lazy calling plays and not using him creatively was a complete waste.

Rbs are notorious for breaking down after they sign second contracts. They just take too many hits. We should’ve never given him that contract so soon. He’d be playing under his 5th year option right now.

 

Cam signed his contract the off-season before he took us to the super bowl.

Too soon is one thing, but the dude has been our best Offensive player period since drafted arguably. I think the move was made based off that more than him being RB and i normally agree with the whole not hanging on to RBs too long thing.

They both broke down shortly after their prime

CMC hasn’t suffered a career threatening injury the way Cam has. Cam would have been fine if the refs weren’t ignorant as fug and didn’t allow to him to be headhunted and targeted. 
 

CMC is still pound for pound the player he was in 2018. Cam is lighter than he was, with less burst and an arm that is maybe 80% of what it should be on a good day. 
 

CMC isn’t breaking down. It’s just not normal to have the RB get the ball 95% of the snaps.

I’m fine with that contract if they stop letting him take so many hits. I made a thread about it after the Thursday night game. He needs to be moved to the slot with handful of touches in the backfield per game. He’s obviously insanely talented but if we keep doing what we’re doing with him he’s gonna be washed real soon if he’s not already.

      Surprise! Kon looks really bad!

      Same, bro.  Yeah, it just feels it has run its course and I don’t know that we’ll ever get more value.  Plus, with the new ownership, this draft has been super encouraging, so dare I believe maybe this FO can get something to really put us over the top in return for Melo.  I’ll still be a fan of his game and try to keep up with him if we move on, but yeah, I feel it’s time to turn the page. (and side note: I felt so happy after their rookie years because I told everybody I wanted Melo and didn’t trust Ant.  And Melo clearly looked like the better player early…  I thought Ant would bust because all that stuff he said about not loving the game and just his resume to that point…  but damn, if we could go back in time.🤣🤣🤣. I love Ant’s game and at times, when he gets in the zone, he is THE BEST player in the league in my opinion.)

      Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.

      Young up for Player of the Week

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
