CMC's dad had a long productive NFL career but his career didn't truly takeoff until he landed in a well ran organization with an elite QB on the roster.

I would honestly be flat out shocked if his family wasn't advising him to try to get out. You have your millions now. If you care about the game and your legacy within the game you need to get out. It's why I've also been saying that I honestly think there's a good chance that CMC has been missing all this time with nagging injuries based on a conscious decision to preserve his body. Why beat yourself to hell playing for an awful team when you've already got that bag in the form of your fat contract?

Don't be shocked if CMC emerges elsewhere playing for a contender and suddenly is much more durable than he's been since getting paid.

I just don't see how anyone can watch CMC on game days throughout his entire career (including after getting his extension) and suggest he's the type of guy who gets paid and then checks out for self-preservation.  The dude gives it 150% on every snap and does not play like a guy trying to preserve his body.  Elflein shared a story about how CMC came into the training room in last year's game against the Saints (soon after his "fat contract") violently vomiting with full body cramps, got a quick IV, and then went back in to finish handling his usual 30 touches/game.

If I were to make a list of possible reasons for CMC's significant injury history/missed games over the last couple seasons, my list (in order of likelihood) would go:

1) He's legit building up nagging injuries due to his 479 touches per game because of how overly reliant our offense is on him (including continuously running him up the gut like a 250-pound battering ram)

2) Rhule putting him on IR prematurely to build an excuse for his failures (unlike CMC, Rhule has shown time and time again of being fueled by self-preservation)

THEN a distant 3rd would be CMC playing up the injuries to avoid sacrificing his body for a losing team.

Seems like a natural response to a coaching change, and trade rumors. 
 

This doesn’t tell us anything. Robbie just got traded too. Of course don’t buy a ticket yet. 
 

This doesn’t confirm he is being traded at all. There’s just smoke about it, and his family (Mom) is just reacting accordingly.

I love CMC but at this point would also love to see him on a good team in the playoffs.  If the Panthers could somehow get a 1st round pick and maybe a later round pick, etc ..... I make the trade.  The reason I like having another teams 1st (even if later in the round) is it could possibly be used as part of a trade up in draft if needed to get a specific QB they really like.

that's probably called hope.  I mean, if I was CMC I would hope I got traded.  This is his prime and it's going to lead to nothing pending he doesn't get traded and out. 

Yeah, I mean why would he want to go through another potential rebuild? Go through what will be his 5th head coach.

If he wants to go, I hope no one wouldn't understand.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
