Hamstrings are a problem........and their tendons especially.........they are stubborn injuries slow to heal and can flare up in an instant if they get too tight and tweek again from jooking too much on the field........not to mention someone rolling up on it in a pile........

Football is such a rough game its hard to imagine anyone playing it at this level............

Do you understand how the contracts work for 1st round players?

Do you understand todays RBs are well aware of how their position is treated in this era? Top Rbs are not waiting till their contacts are up to get new ones. They will hold out midway threw till they are extended to guarantee they get their money. Zeke did it and Cmc was prepared to do it too. Its business, from that standpoint u cant really blame him especially after carrying the team offensively the prior year.

If he converted to WR he would be making a little more than Anderson and has a hell of a lot more upside. Not many RBs could do that and he was raised by a damn good one. 

His body doesn't look ruined, yet. Not asking him to constantly be hit by and having to block 300 lbs guys would do wonders for his health. He is still the most talented guy on the team, by a stretch. It's time to have the talk with him and if he want's to remain at RB then I think it's a good time to start looking at options. 

The notion it's wasted money is lame, it's wasted talent. It was the same with Cam, pissing away talent because the staff can't put anything decent around him while asking him to carry the offense and be the scheme. 

I don’t think you move  talent who is a great RB to be maybe a good WR. If we don’t want him at RB trade him before the deadline

This and the silence from the team makes me think he reaggravated the injury. The hamstring injuries can linger for some time.

Well, I guess our 65 million dollar head coach and his hand picked staff need to figure out how to win a game in the nfl without their crutch

as for CMC, he is becoming an expensive sports car.  When it runs it’s fabulous, it just run often  and becomes  an expensive toy   

wish him the best but I dont see him back until after the bye week a d unless Matt figured out how to win a Nfl game without hom, it wont matter 

the team store is 75% his jerseys.  Someone else needs to step up

He already is a great receiver that plays out of the backfield. I would rather have him on the field then traded, with whatever the cap implications are. 

If Curtis Samuels can do it when healthy, CMC can blow the doors off doing it.

It was stupid to extend him until after his 4th season...that's what we should have done...Marty didn't.

Yeah we basically ran our expensive sports car like we were in a destruction derby and now we're like oh sh*t. Sounds familiar huh?

      Panthers Top 30 Visits and Draft Tracker

      I appreciate the honesty in your posts--I am not sure Canales is rusing(?) because I don't think we are good enough yet to draft players for depth on day 1.  I do think we are in limbo, fwiw.  At 19, I think you are drafting second rounders in the first.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By strato · Posted

      We are in a unique situation here. Just my opinion. Three things: Moton’s playing health has been gradually declining as he is aging, while his contract is a drag on the payroll.  Something will give with him sooner than later but I think 2026 could be it.  So.. need a right tackle by 2027. At the latest.    Icky’s individual situation is unique as well. They would have had an extension done by now if not for the injury. We only have him for this year. With no assurance he will ever be the same player.  It would be reckless just to assume. Now we have Walker for one year. And that is a major relief. Maybe he is the answer, but the team that knows him best let him go and it was cheap for us to sign him. So how much did they value him?    We look to be needing two tackles by 2027.  And have poo for depth this year as well. So anyway we could draft a guy for 2027 RT and groom him this year, and see how Icky does, and act as needed in 2027. Spread out filling the two holes over 2 years.    Then I remember, hey if Bryce doesn’t get a Lot more consistent do they extend him? Hoping not, if he isn’t really good.    So then we are looking at the 2027 draft which people say is gonna be loaded with QBs. If we need a LT and a QB what is the pick gonna get spent on?   Taking into account the recovery success rates cited here on the Icky surgery, you might want to plan for him to not be the same player. rather than assume he will be and get caught with your pants down.  It is a tough situation.    And factor in that it is critically important to protect this QB, always, but especially this year where it is said to be make or break. And how you might feel about that.    All of it points to a real possibility that these things converge in the negative, like Bruce sucks and Icky is not the same. In that case if you want to be assured of getting LT secured, the only place you can do that through the draft could be very well be 2026 1st round.     For me, I would like to err on the side of caution.  Cover for these outcomes. It wouldn’t be fun. Added benefit is if we do have a tackle go down this year we will have a guy there. Because I don’t know what we have now.

      Mike Kaye: “I would keep a pretty close eye on {KC Concepcion}.”

      I agree. In a perfect world I wouldn’t want to draft another WR, but in this draft it’s fine based on the value of who will be there at #19.  All of the top tier guys worth pick #19 at other positions of need will be long gone. Only exception is Dillon Thieneman, but he’s almost a shoe in for the Vikings as the Harrison Smith replacement. Some posters on here want to draft an OT just to check a box without realizing the concerns and risk that comes along with said player. Sounds like XL to me… desperately drafting need… KC is a pretty safe player.  Produced all 3 years in college and last year in the SEC vs a lot of top corners in this years draft. He single handily dropped the South Carolina CB Brandon Cisse’s draft stock with how bad he abused him.   Sometimes it’s best to try and hit a double instead of going for the home run. This draft screams “go for the double”. Esp in the first.
