They should’ve never traded him, let’s be honest. Especially for that trade package…

 

CMC trade and Darnold trades not good looks for Fitty… especially if you think about it, they basically just swapped the two players/recouped the draft picks from the Darnold trade in the CMC trade. And sent him within the NFC to an old division rival…oof

WOW!! Smh!!

Fitt getting that package for a rb that has been injured for 2 years is literally the only reason I have faith in him..

Christian debunked two dumb ass theories this season.

 

1) “He can’t stay healthy.”

-He’s on his way to his 4th season of 100% games played.

 

2) “RBs aren’t a value position.”

-The stats speak for themselves. The Niners went from the bottom half of the league to the top 5 in points scored and yards per game after securing CMC. In the same time they have won 12 straight games. Anyone with a pulse knows this man is more than just a RB anyway. 


Carolina fan until I die but I’ll always root for Deuce Deuce. 
 

Poo away…

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35532103/inside-story-trade-sent-christian-mccaffrey-san-francisco-49ers-carolina-panthers
 

At the time of the deal, San Francisco was 3-3 and struggling to find offensive consistency. It has won 12 straight since McCaffrey became the starter and now plays in the NFC Championship Game at the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday (3 p.m. ET, Fox). McCaffrey did not practice Wednesday or Thursday due to a bruised calf but says there's "zero chance" he's not playing.

Before McCaffrey, the Niners ranked 19th in the NFL in points scored per game (20.3), 18th in yards per game (340.2) and expected points added (minus-0.05). After McCaffrey's arrival, the 49ers rank second (29.8), fourth (379.6) and second (7.4) in those categories, respectively.

 

What did the Panthers achieve with him ?

I could give a rats ass about the 49ers

On average, RB stats start going down after the age of 26.

There's no reason to keep a RB after his rookie deal is over.

The only high dollar rb in the playoffs is CMC ..

Mixon is making 10 mil a year.. and not the biggest threat in that offense..

Remind me who was The Rams RB last year??

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Don’t worry about it they weren’t paying him much either..

That's my point though?

Why pay a RB a second contract when young guys on rookie deals produce for way cheaper.

I mean, IF he can keep it up (many can't), give it a go. You have to have fan favorites, team HOFers, legends, etc. Next thing you know we'll be doing it to WRs too. Sometimes players deserve to stay around, even if it costs us.

Do that with the QB, LT or pass rusher.. The high valued positions.. Stop over paying rb with short shelf life of production..

I agree to an extent, but the way of the bell cow back is going by the wayside.

The only surefire lock to get into the HOF from the RB position from the past 15 years is Adrian Peterson.

Frank Gore might not get in at first since his stats are all due to longevity (which in itself is amazing based on the position he played) but he was never the best back in the league at any point in his career.

Behind those two you have Marshawn Lynch and Shady McCoy, neither of which are a lock to get in.

WRs, on the other hand are experiencing a logjam to get into the HOF. Guys like Smitty and Andre Johnson would have been locks to get in if they were eligible 20 years ago, but the game has changed so much that guys like Tory Holt and Reggie Wayne are waiting to get in, with guys like Julio Jones, Antonio Brown, and Larry Fitzgerald not eligible yet, but in consideration once they are.

It makes sense to pay WRs in this day and age because the position is at a premium and unless you have an S Tier QB in Mahomes or Rodgers, you need great Receivers. Whereas with a RB, you can get away with not having even great talent at the position.

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
