CMC isn’t just a running back

CMC will be 27 starting next year.  I don't see this team really competing for at least 2 years, probably.  He'll be 29 and closer to the dreaded 30 at that point.  We know how that usually goes.  Not to mention the injury history he's already had.  He may continue to be great past 30 of course, because his ability as a receiver is just as good, but just going by how that position usually goes it just made sense.   The 49ers are in a much better position and believe they have a window so they overpaid because they can use the last of the CMC prime years.  We just wouldn't be able to use those correctly.

Plus we now get to see CMC with a better team and coach which should be fun.  He deserves it.  It's what Steve Smith never got till he was already close to retiring and we all have wondered how he would have been with better coaching and QB play.

It's about as useful as discussing the Robbie Anderson trade. Passions are high there is nowhere for these convos to go but down. We can't change the past have to accept and prepare for a new crop of talent in next years draft.

All of those picks will probably be jags.

The only positive is picking first overall in 2023 and 2024 and top 10 in 2025

Well philosophically any discussion about the panthers, ever, isn’t worth having because we can’t impact anything as fans. So discussing the draft is pointless, unless we are in position to discuss with Fitterer/new coach.

 

Discussing potential coaches is a waste unless we are discussing with Fitt/Tepper.

 

Seems silly cherry picking what is worth talking about, if, in the end, all of the discussion is pointless anyway because we don’t have say.

I keep hearing off injured but those seasons he was injured and didn’t return, was there any real reason to risk reagravating or longer term injury on a team that wasn’t contending or no where near it? 
 

I think the injury’s with cmc are over blown a bit 

 

They blew it, sold us lies about the first go around being a rebuild and to be patience. Did everything losing franchises do, and let a first time nfl coach run the team into the ground, the compensation for cmc is reasonable but we should have never been in a situation where we are trading away great players in the first place

The return value was good, but I can't help but think we're unlikely to get anywhere near the potential production from those picks as we would have had from CMC the next few years, if we really are going for a young offensive minded HC. We just traded away our most valuable piece there...

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
