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.

      The coaches can't figure out what to do with BY9 much less Leggette

      Give Legette another season?

      By frankw · Posted

      There is a lot of talk about his IQ and his commitment to the game and this and that and no one can firmly say one way or another unless they are with him day to day. Not to mention the standards don't jive with the presented reasoning for defending Bryce Young’s rookie season and subsequent beginning of his sophomore season and third season to where we are now 40+ games as he is finally beginning to string together better QB play. When I think of Legette present day I think back to Ted Ginn being a pretty significant bust with the Dolphins as a 9th overall pick and then coming to Carolina (twice) and still struggling with the same mental errors on the field and Cam Newton going back to him again and again and again and even going to a Super Bowl with him as the #1 WR. Deactivating him is weak. Figure something out to his strengths for the rest of the season and reassess in the offseason.

      No MATTER WHAT HAPPENS TWO WEEKS FROM NOW.... this season is a WIN in my books

      I think the season has been a success.  I try to look back at what I said would be a successful season before week 1 and we have reached that.  The success though has you wanting more haha.  But we've had improvements and are right there fighting.  Bryce has improved which was a big thing we needed.  Hope we improves more obviously.  But I agree with others about Evero, unless we have an offense putting up 30 points a game I don't like this type of defense he has.  No pressure either.  The biggest issues I see with this team are, zero pressure on the QB, soft zones, and the horrible special teams play on kickoffs/return coverage.  So I wouldn't mind replacing Evero if someone better is available and definitely get someone new running special teams.  When you combine Evero's defense and the fact we allow teams such good field position often it's a bad match.  Overall, we have won 8 games which is crazy.
