People have too strong an emotional attachment to players.

We don't want them treated like commodities when we feel they are special, but when they don't live up to expectations, especially because they friggin keep getting hurt, we need to cut bait rather than extend them. 

But you mention that and people go beserk, but what happens when you don't treat them like commodities is this kind of poo.

Choose what's best for the team long term rather than what's best for these special players we like so much.

Give me the Pats approach any day.

I have long stopped hating the Pats not that I root for them or anything but I'm not the type to ignore clear greatness/intelligence or dislike competence.

Found mine from that thread.   Everyone should have to go find their own and out themselves. 

I love CMC.  But I have never endorsed paying RBs big money.  Having the highest paid RB in the NFL never actually ends up being a good thing.

Oh ffs give it a rest.

Fournette was NEVER AN OPTION.  Not that we didn't consider him.  We did, all evidence indicates we did.  But he was gone by the time we picked!  If you really want to wallow in self pity, consider that we passed on Patrick Mahomes and Deshaun Watson to draft CMC.  Those guys were actually available at our pick.

Quit falling into recency bias. I love how all of a sudden, mccaffery is some injured bum who wouldn't even be tradeable and we're crying over fournette who never lived upto his draft status and had a couple games with 3 tds from the goal line. Fournette has 970 all purpose yds and 8 tds,  mccaffery has missed 5 games and has 780 yds and 2 tds. 200 less yds, Rush mccaffery from the goal line as well and he'll give you double digit touchdowns easily. The fact that he has 2 tds does not mean he is unable to score from the goal line. Gimme mccaffery over fournette anyday, this thread is stupid as is Pearson. Victims of recency bias

CMC needs to take a pay cut. PERIOD.

If he doesnt, make other plans to trade/release him.

You can focus the entire Offense around one player that can not stay on the field. Period.

Especially if that player is the highest paid, EVEN AFTER 10 other elite RB signed deals.

Beyond pissed about CMC and that contract that never should have been offered.

Heading into 2022 he would have been a FA, LIKE HE SHOULD BE!

No other team in history have paid RBs like the panthers, madding...

I wish I could find my posts following Cam's MVP season and CMC's break out season.  I said both times the best thing we could have done is trade them for draft capital.  I wasn't wrong.

If you find them, mine 20 or so posts about not paying him should be around them. Took heavy heat for that, just like many of my opinions......just like my other hot takes, I was right.

Another one. One post in particular takes the cake. It was deleted but remains in quotes.

I look like a genius in that thread.

 

"He had 2 years left with a potential franchise tag year, we win 5 games and we force fed him the ball to get the record and now we are paying for that.  Godalmighty Panthers you just cannot make this poo up. "

I had a feeling his durability would be an issue as a RB in NFL.  He could barely muster 10 reps on 225lbs at the combine.  While guys like saquon Barkley smashed the 225 bench for 29 reps! He should've been converted to a WR 

The bench has nothing to do with his injuries he has only missed 3 games because of a shoulder, ankle . quad ,hamstring and ankle again have nothing to do with reps and CMC was 20 years old at the combine. I like Barkley but he’s the worst guy you could use as a comparison he’s been hurt more than CMC and it’s probably because he’s to muscle bound and tight. CMC is not a WR never was he’s a elite RB when healthy . But to be fair to CMC and his contract Henry is out , Cook has been out over his career, Kamara has missed a lot of games, Aaron Jones is now starting to miss games and all of these players have contracts similar to CMC

      yeah, I think that side sort of emerged at the end of the prior year too and just stuck.  The Gamecock game specifically.  Didn't he have to apologize for saying too much after Dabo botched that one on trick plays and stuff?  But I mean, I think he was right.  Not that you want your player saying the correct thing publicly lol.   Think he just got frustrated Clemson could of won more games than they did....if it was just about that and not trying to develop DJ and then Cade.  I mean, I do think running and grinding out Shipley/the ground game and playing D....probably could of won some of those losses.  and that CJ Spiller incident on the sideline is a legit dislike moment this past year.   And I largely ding most guys hard for those type things.  Which I probably give him a pass on.  end of the day, I just want a natural pass catcher in the backfield and to round out the backfield better.  I forget about Trotter in this draft.  I do think if a Tiger is signed, it's a front 7 guy.  Just like fearing them overdrafting Shipley.  Part of me worries about Ruke.

      Blank? I’m not a fan of owners being overly involved in draft day decisions, that’s what you hire the GM for, but you should at least be involved enough to veto a decision like this if it is something you would be “furious” over. Also, they knew they were doing this before the draft. The first 7 picks played out pretty much exactly how everybody thought they would. This couldn’t have been a surprise. I don’t know if I’m buying that Blank didn’t know what was going on. Maybe just trying to play good guy with Cousins to keep him on board.
