Panthers will attack with CMC, despite potential injury potential (Reed)

[Davidson Deac II]

I wish they would just turn him into a receiver, who runs the ball on occasion.  Let him line up in the slot more and have Chuba and the new guy carry the load more at running back.

"Potential injury potential"?

Weak QB play probably has prevented that the past several years.   
 

I would think if you gave CMC to a more talented team he would be a true hybrid player.  Not many slot guys are better than CMC.

Weak oline play didn't help much either.

When CMC is on the field the team plays better. But I will always prefer a 2 RB system when your starting RB has had injury problems.

Yeah RR liked to do that with several players....

Pretty much anybody that was very good was going to get run into the ground.

double the injury potential of your average back

So 30+ avg touches a game incoming and by week 10 he'll be back on the bench doing his best Gordon Hayward impression.

Yea CMC is too good not to be on the field. Legitimately a top 10 NFL talent when healthy. Even if your not force feeding him, the defense HAS to account for him. 

When he's on the field he enhances the passing and run game, not to mention his skills at blitz pickup. 

And now we got Foreman and Chubba in the mix too. I just hope we have enough sense to run the right one in short yardage and goal line situations. No, they don't have to baby CMC but just use him to his strengths. Besides that we did sign a 6'1 236lb powerback this offseason. One would think he'd excel in those situations. 

[RumHam]

we signed Foreman to get short yardage and goal line situations. We have a valid 1-2 punch. Chubba can close out 4th quarters. Rhule will no doubt mess this up.

[ickmule]

9 games tops, that’s what they will get out of him.  

[Jon Snow]

Might as well get what you can out of him. He should have plenty of tread left on him as he's not played in a season or two.  Try to get some return from that ridiculous contract Hurney gave him. Maybe he will be motivated to pad his stats and play an entire season.

It's really not that fuggin hard. Just go study how the 49ers used Deebo last year. A lot of us have been saying that is the ideal amount of touches you want for CMC, not just sending him up the gut 15+ times. We want CMC to OPEN of the offense, not BE the offense or else it's Cam Newton all over again. We're going to waste yet another superstar because of dumb coaching, the Panther way.
