CMC trending the wrong direction? Not practicing today...

[mav1234]

Taking a day off of practice while recouping isn't necessarily a setback, especially a Thursday. 

[Manna]

It's fine. We're not losing games because we don't have CMC. He would make it more challenging for the opposing defense, but I'd say situational play-calling and O-line have contributed to the losses.

Expecting a RB to carry the offense on his shoulders every game and be the lead rusher, catcher and blocker is bitting us in the rear.

I agree.

Honestly, I've already accepted that CMC being hurt is the norm from here on out.

If he's done, then the season is done unless Brady all of a sudden learns how to properly orchestrate an offense, Sam all of a sudden starts throwing to open receivers, and Chuba starts catching passes.

Just gonna conveniently leave out the O line and put it on Sam there?

Probably what we're looking at. I bet CMC comes back in a few weeks for a game or two though.

Must have had some inflammation after practice yesterday. Probably means 2 more weeks. Should have IRd him.

Not yet, but that certainly is a possibility.

 

Typically running backs don't get more healthy as their career progresses.

[Eazy-E]

At this rate we probably won’t see him until after the bye week. He should be 100% with another 6 weeks rest, right?

Only reason I can see as to why they didn’t IR him is so they can make teams have to guess with their gameplan if he’s going to play. That’s amateur hour. With all our other injuries the extra roster spot would be mighty useful.

He’s good. Rhule is just fuging with the vikes. wait til his intro music hits on Sunday and JR and King lose their minds.

This is just misguided, GMs can't predict injuries. Dont care how bad or good they are. Cmc had no injury history prior to getting that contract and you werent gonna be able to pay the best RB in the league peanuts.

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

Joe Brady can’t successfully and consistently scheme around 4 horrible offensive line paired with an average QB.  No OC can.  

and all of that with his entire time as OC with the highest paid and best player in CMC on the shelf almost every week. 

we don’t have a Joe Brady problem.

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.
