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.

      Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.

      Tailed you.  Also Free Play, which is why the risk shows $0.00. Let me look at hoops and get back to you.  Always fade Hubert, haha.

      Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
