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.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
