Pictured are cool and all, but I will never get hyped again off CMC's potential.   Show me you can play a full season first, or even half of one.  His potential and ability is meaningless when he can't stay on the field.

And I've said it repeatedly since last season, but I will be thoroughly surprised if he ever plays a a full season, or even the majority of one again.  When guys start piling up non-contact injuries, their bodies are signaling they can't stand up to the rigors of baseline activity, let alone the wear and tear of NFL games, and there isn't much you can do to prevent it at this point.

Here’s the fix.  Watch every down Deebo played this year.  Use CMC like that.

I think using CMC more in the slot or as a receiver would be the best option obviously, but honestly, I don't think this strategy is possible.  Number one, in the past CMC has been vocal and adamant that he is a RB.  He does not want to be a receiver or labeled as anything other than a RB.  

And number two, Deebo is super physical.  And yes, he has sustained some injuries during his career, but he is much more stout and more physical as a runner.  He's more likely to run through contact versus elude it, as CMC does.

Remember when Johnathan Stewart always stayed on a bike... Me too. Running Back is a grind and replace type position. Never over pay the position....

 

Fire Hurney... Again...

Fire Rhule... Just because...

Stewart was pretty steady come game day. I think there were a couple seasons he got dinged and was out for a good bit but for the most part I think he was just always limited in practice.

He's getting WR money. Why not? 

yeah keep him in the slot full time with a couple hand offs or end around like a curtis Samuel and he would be well worth the money! 

 

we don't need to be sending him up the gut 15 times a game.  use the cheaper dime a dozen battering ram for that poo

I think the injury issue is clearly a result of overtraining. I get these guys want and need to be in the best shape possible but CMC seems to hit a point of diminishing return. Maybe less muscle mass and more rest would Keep him on the field 🤷‍♂️

More like a result of juicing in the off-season. His brother got popped two or three times in the pros. 
 

they need to move him to a similar role as Deebo or Curtis Samuel when he was here. Tell him to start training accordingly or we’re never gonna get a return on that contract. If we were to ever make the playoffs then use him all out like we have in the past but that’ll never happen as long as the qb situation continues to be what it is here. Just a waste of a contract.

You may be right, who knows? Either way all the Peds in the world won’t make you swole. Still gotta put in the work, and he’s clearly working too hard. Resulting in his body breaking down. This is why you never draft a RB that high and you def don’t give him that contract .

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
