Honestly, we probably need to consider trading McCaffrey to someone. IMO, we need picks more than we need a top 3 RB...when healthy. And that's the thing, will he be able to stay healthy, particularly with us relying on him so much (which is ultimately another possible impediment)? I wouldn't bet on it at this point.

He had a minor injury last year, and a hamstring this year. And all the sudden he is washed up. 

I love the huddle where the collective leaves a lot to be desired.

Interesting that you're the one that used the term "washed up." Did I just not say he was a top three back when healthy. I would say that the modus operandi of putting words in peoples' mouths and/or using something akin to straw man arguments leaves a lot to be desired, and the "Huddle collective" engages in such activity. Moreover it doesn't really matter if it's a hamstring or another "minor" soft tissue injury, the point is whether he's available. He hasn't been since we paid him all that money. Of course, part of that may be our overuse of him, which I alluded to, but the fact is that regardless of what the reason is, we haven't gotten a good ROI. It may be time to consider trading him to someone who is better able to do that, and use whatever draft capital that we earn to fill more immediate holes.

I lol at every post of Watsonmania. He has played less games in the past 2 years that CMac, who everyone seems to want to jettison. I have zero interest in having an alleged serial rapist being the face of our franchise. Fix the offensive line with all the picks yall want to throw at Houston. That's what a serious team should do instead of looking like a desperate guy playing Madden. Hope Miami makes the deal so all of this stupidity will go away.

Interesting that I summarized what you said perfectly.

If we've already "re-engaged" multiple times you can hardly say that's the final nail. Saying now they weren't offering CMC seems like another face saving attempt. What I gather from this whole saga isn't anything particularly good. Our big decision makers seem to change course on a whim and if you look at the pattern of how they handled the situation with Newton and Bridgewater publicly this all fits with that dysfunction. It is what it is 🤷‍♂️

For the record: Carolina never offer CMC, Houston counter offer did, reason why there's a stalemate.

Houston rather ship him to NFC, hence they're stalling on Mia.

Mia knows Panthers are the other only contenders so they're staying pat in their deal(which doesn't include Tua)

If Panthers make a deal it's either Monday or off-season, final offer just sent.

Darnold's poor play gave Houston leverage, if Darnold shows up against ATL, Monday's deal or no deal.

BUT, I think both Panthers and Dolphins are walking away in hopes that the Texans come down on the asking price.

Mr. Whip-It-Out, effectively, has never been available for trade.

A Ford Pinto with a $1,000,000 price tag on it is technically "for sale"...

...effectively, it's not.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
