Don't believe he can hold up at RB on a full time basis. Maybe as a slot reciever with some runs thown in. Either play him in the slot or trade him before he is broken goods. He is as good a reciever as we have out of the back field.

Second season in a row he is injured and may possibly end up on IR if the hammy doesn't improve.

Sucks that he has the kind of body makeup that can't take the constant beating. Some guys can run forever without constant injuries....appears he is not one of them.

What u got?

I vote yay. 

Problem is my vote means nothing. Your vote means nothing. 

Rhule's vote means something.

Brady's vote means something. 

CMC's vote probably is worth 51% by itself, and I get the impression he's not into the idea.

But just on the merits of the idea, yeah I agree with you.

It’ll never happen. He’s too good of a rusher and receiver out of the backfield to just simply have him solely as a wr. 

Not solely as a WR. What good is having his talent if he isn't avaiable to play. Rather have him take 12-15 carries a game and send him out on shorter passes and crossing routes.

CMC is having a fine career and is one of only three guys to ever having 1k rushing - 1k receiving. Why would you even mess with it? It’s not like switching an old corner to safety late in his career.

Keep him at RB he’s to good of a natural runner to waist him at WR. His injury this year is not because he’s taking hits  he pulled his hammy in the open field which he could do just running routes. If we don’t want play him at RB trade him now while he still has value , I bet you the Bills or Ravens would love to have him at RB.If we was to trade we would need to pick up a RB because Hubbard dies not have the skill set of a elite back a.

Because the fine career keeps getting interupted with injuries that keep him out substantial portions of a season. Given that WR's take less pounding than RB's, it is not an inherently bad idea.

Also take a look at the avg career length for RB's vs WR's and then think about how long you'd like that fine career to last.

I’m not saying I don’t like the idea. I’m just saying that it most likely won’t happen at this stage of his career. We have Rhule and Brady who have no clue how to run an offense. I could see CMC making the switch if he was in NE with Belichick but not here. During the draft, I wanted CMC as WR and wanted Dalvin Cook in the 2nd. Instead we took a A gadget player in Curtis Samuel.

The answer is quite simple, have him do a little of both, equally. And get a another legitimate starting RB to be able choose.

I honestly don’t understand why this hasn’t been done already, having CMC running routes, or really even gamplanned. It should be…like 2 years ago.

It’s like refusing to get another goal line threat when you have Cam. It’s fuging stupid, incredibly lazy and shortens their shelf life.

You want CMC as a WR but Cook as a RB I had to laugh at that, Cook can’t stay on the field with injuries we’re as CMC it’s more the coaches protecting him like a baby

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
