….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.

      Panthers Select Trevin Wallace LB Pick 72, Round 3

      By Mother Grabber · Posted

      right, because no other teams have RBs and LBs.

      Who are the day 3 prospects you want to see us target?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      THIS PERTAINS TO PICK 101 ONLY If we don't draft CB we are in trouble in that area, however, there is a top TE and C sitting there.  Here is my breakdown of the CBs along with a brief mention of the other possible choices. If I were GM, I would take Tampa, fwiw. Nickel Corners    My preference:  Jarvis Brownlee (One of my favorite day 3 options, Brownlee is tough and aggressive with strong tackling skills.  5’ 10”, a nickel who can play outside because. Aggressive in the first five yards area.  NFL Network calls him “good backup with potential to develop into a starter.”  4th round grade.   Highest rated:  Kris Abrams-Draine (a good tackling CB3–converted WR.  Had 6 Interceptions.  Good value–had a third round grade.  Versatile. Needs to work on tackling.   NFL Combine site calls him “average starter” and gives him 3rd-4th rd. grade )   Sleeper:  Myles Harden (SDSU-good tackling CB with short arms–projects to big nickel or even safety.  Has 4th round grade.  NFL Combine site calls him “good backup with potential to develop into starter.”)   Outside CBs   Highest rated and my preference:  TJ Tampa (for some reason, this large outside CB has been overlooked.  Maybe because the nickel CBs are in demand)  had a 2nd to 3rd round grade according to many NFL sites.  NFL Combine site rates him as an “average starter” in the NFL)   D.J. James (Rarely out of position in zone or man. Outside CB.  Struggles with larger receivers and not great in run support–teams will run at him, in fact.  Lance Zerlien gives him 3rd rd. grade.  NFL Combine site calls him “will eventually be a plus starter”)     Nehemiah Pritchett  (6’ outside CB who ran 4.36, he is probably a CB with day 2 value in some schemes.  Not a strong tackler and slow hip rotation could necessitate S help over the top.  Rated “good backup with potential to develop into a starter.” 4th round grade.   Caelen Carson (Kind of a mixed bag. Best in press man coverage. Outside CB.  Good tackler but takes bad angles.  Injury history 2021 and 2022.  Limited experience.  NFL Network site gives him a 3rd round grade with the “ability to be average starter” rating.)   Cam Hart  (6’3” outside CB who held Marvin Harrison in check.  Can play TEs and tall WRs well.  Not great in run support at this point. 4th round grade according to NFL Network Combine site.    Rated “good backup with potential to develop into a starter.”   Khyree Jackson (6’ 4” outside  CB who is a good tackler and wins contested catches. Only started 14 games in college. 4th round grade.  Rated “good backup with potential to develop into a starter.” Might make a better S.)   Decamerion Richardson (Probably a Safety.  Ran 4.34 but has below average coverage skills. NFL Network calls him a “backup with special teams ability”)   MHS Recommendation:  Draft Tampa at #101.  If we are looking for a Nickel, draft Brownlee   Tight End   Ja’Tavion Sanders  Texas He can get up the field from in-line or from the slot, beating man coverage at his route stems or separating quickly from turns. He is able to dig in and win combat catches underneath and has proven to be highly effective running the seam or catching intermediate throws into zone pockets. Teams looking for a tight end with a more complete game might pass on him, but his potential to open up the passing game and become a highly productive pass-catcher should be hard to pass on.  Rated “eventually a plus starter” by NFL Network and predicted to go rounds 2-3. Center   Sedrick Van Pran-Granger would be an ideal pick to groom for 1 year to prepare for a starting role in 2025.  3-4 rd grade, Lance Zerlien calls him a solid day-2 pick.  Rated to “become an average starter”.  This would be a smart pick for the Panthers in round 4.   Second Wide Receiver     Here, I think we need a slot WR, and I would take a look at Rice or Washington.

      I know it’s earlt but Dan THE MAN Morgan is IMPRESSING me

      After sleeping on it, one thing came to mind that I do like about this draft so far is that these picks are not win now picks. It feels like the GM/Coach in Carolina has been trying to keep their jobs for so long that they have drafted and signed players without a longer vision.  First it was Hurney and Rivera, then Rhule then Fitt then Reich.    All of these picks have greater value after 2024. They can and will contribute this season but immediate returns aren’t needed to satisfy the owner and save the job of the GM/Coach.
