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.

    • 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.
    • 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.
