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

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

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

No one wants a Darnold jersey? I wouldn't be surprised if CMC is asking to go to the Chargers or Broncos, pretty much the only attractive options for him that have the cap space

McCaffrey could still easily be worth the contract if the Panthers did the sensible thing and made him a primary receiver who also plays RB.  

Granted our QBs suck.  But if we had a solid QB, CMC would tear it up in the slot and out of the backfield.  The way the Saints used Kamara for all of those years is how McCaffrey should be used.  There is NO reason for CMC to have 20+ carries in a game.

The ideal touch count for him is about 10-12 in the run game and 5-7 in the receiving game.  

They should start with quitting running him up the gut 15-20 times a game.  I swear they run him like hes Jerome Bettis or some poo.

What makes anyone think he would stay healthy as a WR and/or playing in the slot? 

It's something to try. WRs are a lot more protected now and not running face 1st into the Dline would be a huge improvement but there are no guarantees.

I don't know if Rhule is smart enough to do that properly.  Fire Rhule, XX XXX

Oh, don't get me wrong. I'm pretty much 100% certain that he's not. I was only stating that this isn't surprising to me considering the position that they find themselves in. I have exactly zero expectation of them doing anything but making things worse.

CMC has a 2022 DEAD CAP hit of -- 26M to keep it simple -- 14M is his salary in 2022 -- so you'd be looking at a NEGATIVE cap hit of 12M aka you nerfed your own cap by doing this. (via Spotrac)

Only way for something like this to work is to take ''less'' value in a trade so the receiving team will take on more of his GUARANTEED SALARY to lessen the dead cap hit -- I see little market for a HB that hasn't played a full season since 2019, and has the price tag he does.

The money doesn't make sense -- we have DJ / Reddick / Jackson / Gilmore all to consider for extensions, and we need to add OL -- we can't afford to create negative cap space. We also owe Darnold 18.8M -- if we trade anything, we likely trade our 6th overall pick to acquire more draft stock because that will be the best way to add quality OL at a premium to the roster.

Uga Buga 'Fire Hot'. Uga buga 'CMC not RB anymore'. Uga buga 'rock hard'

I always lol at people who use gifs for their  argument. Moving CMC to the slot is fine, but giving our best player the ultimatum to either do so or retire is something that has never been done in league history. Just imagine that story breaking.. Forcing our All Pro RB to retire.  We’d be looked at as a more toxic organization than the Texans. Or the Lions with their handling of Barry Sanders, Calvin Johnson. We’d have no chance attracting free agents.

Would be a massive mistake to trade basically player on the roster who shows heart and is a leader week in week out. 

His injuries are soft tissue related. He is not injury prone. Rhule is just clueless and doesn't know how to use him.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
