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's not indestructible and apparently he's prone to get injured. He's played how many games last year and this year with how many injuries? He's been overused and it's showing and it's only going to get worse.

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. 

Foh loser

Some of those bashing CMC sound like the type who would red line a car everywhere they drive it, never change the oil, and then blame the manufacturer when it blows up!

 

When his number is called 30-35 times a game, he sure as hell ain’t going to say “hold on guys, give it to somebody else”.  He’s going to red line it till he breaks down.

 

Maybe by the time he’s back, Chuba will have enough seat time for the coaching staff to feel comfortable letting him spell CMC more…..

He may not be injury prone, but he sure as hell is not on the field…and hasn’t been a lot over last two year

Chuba has bricks for hands so IDK. We cant spell CMC with a guy that cant catch.

Jesus christ the dude is incredible and I always thought his last few injuries were flukes, but this is starting to get a little silly.

Different sport, but CMC reminds me of Gordon Hayward. Great player that is well worth the money he makes when healthy, but always gets a different injury each of the last few seasons that causes him to miss a bunch of games.

Yeah but Hayward has had these issues for many many years, CMC was seemingly invincible until this past season.

Rhule and Co are riding CMC the same way Ron and Co rode Cam because he is their best offensive weapon and chance to win.

 Team has a better chance to win if we distribute the ball among our talent.

Dj Moore is a top talent in this league and Robbie is pretty good himself.

It amazes me how many fans of a team who watched Thomas Davis recover from 3 ACL tears can legitimately say that CMC’s career is done due to a couple minor injuries.  Come on folks…really?  

No one is saying that. But him being injured these past two years does raise concerns. Remember Todd Gurley was payed a big contract and then got an injury he never recovered from. CMCs use over these last 4 seasons almost made what is happening an absolute certainty.

    • TAMU had such a weird draft. Usually you'd be bragging your ass off about three DL drafted in the top two rounds except that the narrative around all three was about how badly they were misused by TAMU. LOL
    • Many Panthers fans are already excited about second-round selection Nic Scourton for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: the Panthers needed to recharge the position group, Scourton had a late first-round grade according to many (including the Panthers), and he fit this season's modus operandi of stopping the run now and forever. However, Scourton was seen early on as one of the top-3 EDGE guys in this class but fell due to not having quite the season at Texas A&M as he did prior at Purdue (his sophomore season). It's been revealed since then a few different things that speak to that dip in production... Texas A&M, for one, requires each player on their line to be able to hold two gaps. This also explains why we saw low production across the board from the other two TA&M prospects but were still being heavily touted. Scourton was also said to have bulked up to 280lbs in order to fulfill this role and noticeably suffered from it. He's expected to play this season with Carolina at 255 - 260 which is very different from most situations. In most situations, teams are wanting players to gain 15 - 30. Since Scourton is going to be playing at his Purdue weight, I thought it would make sense to dive more into that tape. Y'all... we might have gotten something special... Let's take a quick peek at the stats before we start drooling over some highlights. First, a summary of the last two seasons for Scourton: Second, the game splits: The first thing that pops up for me is how Scourton's sack numbers were cut in half his senior year. We've already pointed out issues with scheme that impacted the TA&M linemen from racking up numbers, but seeing the game splits it's clear that Scourton didn't exactly feast on inferior competition while at Purdue. He had two two-sack games (vs. Michigan (2023 - 2024 champs), Indiana) and a 10-tackle game (vs. Nebraska). I also see the 2024 games where he went up against two top-10 tackles (Will Campbell from LSU + Armand Membou from Missouri) that I watched leading up to the draft.  For those who just want a summary: Scourton looked elite at Purdue and is going to be rotating in often during his rookie campaign. I originally had him penciled in as the second-string, strong-side edge defender behind Clowney but I wouldn't be surprised to see the team have him and Pat Jones II moving around when they rotate in in order to find where Nic looks best. Here's a highlight reel to replace that Cialias you lost in your recliner tonight:   For those that want a little more: Below I'll be linking the linking the five games I've mentioned above. If you plan to watch all of them, I highly recommend going in the order listed as that will allow you to see him vs. Campbell and then Membou while dealing with the aforementioned things he dealt with at Texas A&M before seeing him look unstoppable in 2023 when he was allowed to play both at a comfortable weight and in a scheme that didn't require him two cover two gaps nearly every play. vs. Will Campbell (2024) vs. Armand Membou (2024) vs. Nebraska (2023) vs. Michigan (2023)   vs. Indiana (2023)  
    • Yea, i honestly think he had almost as much say as Dan.  One of the main reasons I think that is Eager has said before he was ever with the Panthers, that you trade away picks for a qb and for any other position you do pick swaps, and that's exactly what we did.
