Christian McCaffrey has admitted that he initially was “angry” with the Panthers for trading him. Now, after 14 games (including the postseason) and seven months with the 49ers, the star running back is counting his blessings.

“In hindsight, I firmly believe it’s the best thing that ever happened to me,” McCaffrey said 

McCaffrey totaled 1,210 yards of offense and 10 total touchdowns with the 49ers, bringing his 2022 season total to 1,880 yards from scrimmage and 13 total touchdowns.

“I say this with the utmost respect, this is a family,” McCaffrey said. “It’s the first time I felt like, even alumni, just getting to know these guys, it’s special; it’s different, and there’s a reason it’s sustainable and has been for so long. The word I would use now is, just very proud to be a part of this organization.”

If I wasn't a Panthers fan I would have wanted out of here immediately. I would have sped all the way to the airport and never looked back. This franchise was going nowhere and had an empty stadium except for opposing fans. What few Panthers fans were in the stadium were booing Rhule, and looking bewildered at our pitiful offense. You want to play in front of a dozen angry Panthers fans or go battle in the playoffs with the world watching?

What else is he supposed to say?

That said I hope the Niners are poo. I'll be thrilled if they do well for a bit only to lose in similar fashion in the biggest game of their season again. Those bandwagon fans deserve the worst.

My only hard feelings are that it's my understanding that he's counting $18.3 million against our 2023 salary cap. That's an anchor pulling us down, and restructuring his contract in 2022 was not my favorite move if trading him could have been a possibility on the horizon.

I am happy for CMC.  He was my favorite player and was too good for the shitshow this team had become. I wish him nothing but the best.  I hope he gets a ring with the 49ers, as long as it is not at the expense of the Panthers.  If Young is the player that the coaches and Fitt think he is...this will be the best trade in Panther history.  Still, I will always be a little sad that he is not a Panther.

      Any well functioning team benches Bryce

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      I’m an optimist thru and thru. I love any win this team can muster, and Bryce did what he could to keep the team in it, but he’s why the team was out of it to begin with.  I like the guy, but he is not… he’s just not it… and I was swayed by the way he finished last season, but his physical limitations will never be overcome. A one arm tackle stopped him in his tracks en route for 6, among several other plays where an even average starter in the league succeeds.  A franchise QB is supposed to be his own cheat code. Bryce needs a cheat code dude, that is not him, to win. Chuba CARRIED (literally) his ass last season. Thielen bailed him out EVERY game he played in last season. Today: Rico turned in one of the best games in franchise history, Tet was unguardable and put up at least 100 yards on his own (PI yards included),  and the defense basically pitched a shutout after going down big so they could beat one of the worst teams in the NFL.

      Rico 10000% saved Bryce Young from being benched for the Dallas game.  The way that game was going there was going to be no way to trot Bryce out next week at home if it kept going like it did.  Bryce probably is safe from bench risk until the next home and home presents itself.    He can’t be playing bad going into that next Atl game and then lay an egg in it.
