He is being used too much.  I said it to the Cam Newton nut huggers back in 2012-17:  Every hit takes its toll.  I said on the Huddle that he was not going to have a long career and Rivera is to blame.  Yes, it was fun when he lowered that shoulder and took on a S or LB, but tick tock...  The nut huggers have never let me know that I was on point---they forgot, I suppose.  No apologies, "you were right", no cards, no flowers. 

Might just be me, but 1) I don't care about being proven right about anything (because I'm just as likely to be wrong and I realize it's a flip of the coin either way) and 2) I don't want to be proven right about something bad happening and I definitely don't want credit for those kind of calls. No pat on the back. I don't want to be able to say "I told you so" especially on something that I wish I hadn't been right about because it doesn't make anything better...just an ego stroke that nobody else will really care about.

We just going to ignore that he missed the entire 2004 season due to injury on MNF vs Green Bay?  

It was a f'g broken bone and he played 151 of the next 160 regular season games...

...CMC is a big talent and a very likable guy and I only hope for the best for him...

...but he can't carry Smitty's jock and comparing the two is laughable, and illogical.

The little injury's stink, but these aren't injuries that will lower his ability long term....

"these injuries" have literally taken his "ability" all the wayy from elite to complete-non-factor, and for what will likely be close to 2 seasons by the time he gets off IR...

...assumes he's able to get back up to speed anytime soon.  

Shelf life for running backs ain't too good...

Well thanks for clearing that up, I'm not sure you know the difference between ability and capability right now he is incapable of playing.

If you look around the NFL and RBs shelf lives they coincide with major injuries he has not suffered a MAJOR injury.

They happen and people can get over them. I honestly have no qualms if CMC rests another week. Things can change during the season it’s not like this is end of season push.

There won't be an end of season push to have at this rate. In the NFL, every play is important to most teams in terms of their post season hopes. It's not even that every game is important, the scoring margins are so low that 4 or 5 plays can determine if you go to the playoffs.

      Nick Scott

      Ultimately it's up to the other safety prospects to clearly outplay Scott. I think when that happens on tape against other teams it'll be addressed. I think none of them have done that definitively and consistently yet.

      Evero?!?! Should he be on the Hot Seat

      By CRA · Posted

      Night and day difference in the front office investements.  Since Morgan has been in the FO (5 years)....4 out of 5 first round picks have been offensive players.  The one defensive pick was a corner. Expand it out to the first 2 rounds? 7 out of the 9 picks have been offensive.  That IMO is why our D sucks so bad.   You build defenses up front.   Carolina hasn't been investing there.  Ron's first 5 years? 3 of the 5 first round picks were defensive players.  Expand it all to include second rounders  7 of the 10 picks were defensive.  All front 7 players.

      I think he gets this year to show what he can do.  Last year, we had a lot of injuries. This year, we should have some players, even if we lose one or two.  It's the first preseason game.  Some of the starters weren't even in it.  There is no scheming or game planning.  Let's see how guys do when it counts. I think we have a GM that knows a thing or two about defense.  Let it play out.
