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 won't be fun

none of that matters. he's gone. he was an oft injured overpaid player. yeah, probably HoF bound, but he wasn't winning us games. hopefully the picks we get thanks to the trade will play more than he did.

Overpaid? He was oft injured for the exact reason listed. He was over used and mis-used.

He wasn't just a RB... he was the most active player studied by our doctors since Curtis Samuel. You hope both guys have success but CMC has missed too much significant time over the past two years that you have to question how much will he be available each season. Not only that but with him being an absolute monster for us, we haven't won... Its ok to let guys like that go. If trading him leads us to getting better odds at our QB, and building a balanced offense around him, then so be it.

Yeah it's one of the nice things about McCaffrey going to the 49ers is we can see how a good offensive mind schemes him. I have a feeling it's going to make the deal look like a bargain for them. Still will seem like an OK deal for us cause we weren't going to be able to unlock his full potential anyway.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
