Panthers passed on Cam Akers

[Leotiger]

Looks like rams offered a similar packege as 9ers but instead of this years 4th they offer 4th next plus Cam Akers …

Should have we took rams offer ?

 

[Ocpanthertew714]

No.

CMC wanted SF.

We did right by honoring his request.

[TheCasillas]

I think we discussed exact topic in the CMC thread. The consensus was that we took the best deal on the table.

Akers seems like a dude to stay away from.  He was given such a prime opportunity in the Rams offense and couldn't pass Henderson.  And I can see McVay turning a corner with Stafford more than Shanahan with Jimmy.  That 2nd rounder is pick 43 right now which is nice.  

[Ricky Spanish]

No.

Akers blew his Achilles out and RBs with in tact Achilles are a dime a dozen.

Akers would cost money toward the cap. Our RBs looked great, so I’ll take the picks all day long 

[LinvilleGorge]

The offers were probably close enough that we asked CMC which destination he preferred. Which honestly in the case of very similar trade offers is a good policy to follow. You don't gain anything by screwing players over for no real competitive advantage.

[BIGH2001]

Have y’all seen the rams running game this year? If Akers couldn’t get ahead of those guys then he’s trash. 

[DaveThePanther2008]

Why in the world would we take a player that was benched.  They were figuring they could get the super talented CMC and dump their problem child in our laps.  I hated to see CMC go because I hate the 49ers.  That hatred goes all the way back to our time in the NFCW before the change in 2002. 

Most believe that we got the better end of the trade.  SF believes they are on the cusp of a Super Bowl and CMC might be their ticket.   I'm not so sure.  Jimmy G is hot or cold, nothing inbetween.  Shanihan may scheme plays for CMC but he'll be taking food off the table for others on that team.  

That might not go so well.

I will pull for 49er loses each we.  The more loses the more valuable our picks become. 

[Castavar]

Damn. Even on his way out CMC still came up clutch by picking SF. Would have had to take the cap hit for a RB who's Achilles is busted AND not gotten next years 4th. Appreciate you CMC.

[Shocker]

Taking Cam from them would have helped them…fug the Rams
