Yeah that would be why it may not be a possibility. RBs tend to break after a historic year like he had in that run.

Running backs in general are at a higher risk for injury than every other position on the field. It’s why we need to continue to rest him appropriately and utilize him in a hybrid WR role. He has better hands than pretty much everyone on the team.

CMC is the most wasted player in franchise history up with cam. Every time he is put in the slot or route he burns anyone covering him. The fact he is used like a bowling ball is truly mind blowing.

All true but that should have happened years ago thus my expectations. RB that have a career and record type year that he had usually fall into ruin soon after. It's not just the millage but how fast they add it on in a short span that can speed that up. He would need to prove the exception which would be great just not expected by me at this point.

But he wants to be a RB lol.

Yeah we could have made that guys career twice as long and productive but nope, just run him like the freak he is until he is nothing more than a workout master sitting on IR.

A testament of toughness. This fan base doesn’t deserve the kid. Hope he stunts on all  you hoes this season. 

I have a feeling he indeed will be stunting on all these hos all season long.  Hes due for a healthy, monster year this season.  Its not like hes had any major, surgery requiring injuries like an ACL or a torn Achilles or anything...its just been a bunch of nagging bullshit.  And I have a feeling that had we been in the hunt down the stretch these past 2 seasons, we would have seen him play more.

Yeah that’s the “catch 22” (no pun intended). He’s great bc he’s a natural talent that works hard, but he pushes his body to the limit and it breaks

I expect he will for a few games. He's always been tough, just not tough enough to keep from getting hurt.

Well hes a REALLY GOOD RB too...so you would kinda be chopping yourself off at the knees if you just made him a WR strictly.  However I could see some kinda Deebo situation, only reverse where instead of being a "Wide Back", hes a "Running Receiver".  Those quick hitters he gets almost every game right up the gut are too valuable to completely take away.  IDK....its a tough situation to be in.  Fingers crossed he stays completely healthy this year and we tear teams up on offense.  We definitely have the pieces right now to make it happen.

This... Never has I think it was frank who tried to compare him to Gurley whose knees were twine coming into the NFL.... 

CMC hasn't had any injuries that sap a players ability.

Someone really tried to compare CMC to Gurley lol?  TG's knee was bone on bone when he was at UGA.  Thats totally absurd.

      The Cavalry is Coming

      By CRA · Posted

      I'll be honest.  I'm not sure I want to see any those guys returning right now given what others are presently doing.... minus Coker.  Hubbard returning likely messes the run game up (I mean, it's going to come down regardless but he still), Tremble and Evans actually are doing well, Corbett seems to make us worse up front, and the D has made some strides.  I'd like to just keep that whole lot on the shelf this week.

      Ikem Ekwonu is slated to GET PAID

      By Basbear · Posted

      I don't think people know that Icky is still only 25 years old. Panthers signed UDFAs older this year and drafted DJ Johnson. Heres a fact, a deep fact.... Its easier(much) to find a good-great QB than good-great LT. Another fact there's only 12-15 true LTs and the others are larping as LT.  SO....(I'm not a fan btw)......you nearly must resign him at all cost even with him being around the 12th best at times. Its the hardest spot to fill and he's still awful young with 4 years as a pro. Carolina already got 4 years of "cheap" service as well, that's invested time and effort.  The fan-side of me hopes he signs some top 5 at best top 3 big money deal. Just the cap keeps growing and LTs, young LT with experience are rrrrrrare and unique. Tag him if needed and tag him again, then trade him. I think he enjoys being/living in NC.  I hope he's stays on a team friendly deal, but those are soooo rare these days.  Only two options- pay him whatever, even if it's top $$$$$(uggggghhhh..) or tag him for 2027 and keep trying to pay. Worst outcome is trading him for couple 1s, 3s, and 5th maybe a player too.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By CRA · Posted

      I always loved DJ Moore.  I don't see him wanting to comeback here.  He seems to be tired of inconsistent QB play and you finally see that bubbling over in Chicago.  or maybe he just doesn't like the people.  He actually seemed fine with Fields.....and lobbied for them not to draft Caleb.  So maybe it's just a Caleb issue (and I think Caleb might have tons of baggage/issues that rub folks wrong)
