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.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
