Panthers taking offers for Cmac in the off-season

It's just another sign of a dysfunctional organization.

The concept of trading CMC isn't terrible, except that it is.

Every team in the NFL can look back and see that the dude has played 10 games in the last 32.  That's a HUGE hit to any trade value he might have.  No one is going to give us anything remotely resembling value for him.

If the Panthers think the guy can be healthy, there is literally ZERO reason to trade him.  The only reason they would consider it is because they DON'T have that belief.  Every other team can figure that out.

It's just dumb, dysfunctional Panthers again if the report is true.

"Willing to listen to trade offers" does not mean they are actively trying to trade him for peanuts.  I'd be disappointed if we weren't "willing to listen to trade offers" for every single player on our team.  There's absolutely zero harm in fielding offers.

"Oh you're offering a 5th round pick for CMC"

It's a pretty basic Cost-Benefit analysis.

He's making WR money. He'd wouldn't get contact from 300lb linemen every damn touch.

He should have been Cooper Kupp in the NFL. That would have been a position swap that everyone could understand and get behind.

He should have been used exactly like they used Smitty, but again that was a professional NFL staff.

I'm with you, he is the best rout runner when healthy anyways.

I am torn on this. Cmac is so dynamic and valuable. He is not your ordinary running back. You can even trace our implosion in pass protection back to when he was hurt. He makes a team better in many ways, but lately it seems he can't stay on the field. I still he think he has a ton a value especially if an offensive scheme uses him creatively in ways that limit his wear and tear. 

I really hope we don't send him to denver and eat his salary too!

I wouldnt expect much because of his cap number and the fact he has been hurt so much

Again like I said in another thread there is an out after next year. I think the injury stuff is also more on this staff than CMC. If you put him in a legit operation he’ll be fine.

….and what would they ever do with all the CMC merchandise in the team store?

its 90% McCaffrey and 10% the damned soccer team. 
not one legitimate star in the team besides the injury prone Rb

that is what the Tepper ownership and Rhule as de facto GM has brought to us.

    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre. 
    • Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
