Everyone saying SF > Charlotte is living in the early 2000s...that place is becoming a giant dump one day at a time with homeless and crime.  

 

Or, have never been in the first place.

Then look at taxes paid....shew weeee.

I get not overpaying for him, but any suggestion that we aren't a better team with a player like that on the roster is pure fantasy. And any GM in the league would tell you that.

We misused him, we overpaid him, we didn't have good enough blocking for him, we had absolutely awful coaching and in the end made the right decision to trade him, but having a player of that caliber makes a team better.

He is 100% correct about it being a luxury. It didn't help SF win when they were down all their QB's because the league doesn't work like that. Same thing with Henry, Barkley, etc, etc, etc. Without the rest of the pieces around the elite RB, it doesn’t accomplish anything. 

Elite RB's are purely a luxury, not a necessity.

Yeah, if Young becomes a top 10 QB in the league then eventually CMC will be a footnote in Panthers history.

It's not really related to him but we only had one winning season in his entire Panthers career. Most of us are going to be very eager to move on from those memories.

I do kinda think our poor record had something to do with him actually.  It wasn't necessarily his fault, but he became such a focal point of the offense that it made us one-dimensional and painfully predictable.

Yeah but that's for regular people. Rich(especially rich and young) people don't care as much about that kind of stuff.

SF has far greater access to badass stuff than CLT. And NC doesn't have access to nearly the kind of attractions for young people that CA does. 

Doesn't mean I would personally choose SF over CLT but I understand. Plus he is already a WC guy.

I think more of it had to do with the team being built around a guy that ended up being broken beyond repair(Cam).

CMC had very little to do with Panthers success. Just look at his W-L record in games played versus games not played.

The success of the franchise was always going to revolve around Cam(or any of the successive QB's) and once he was done, so were we.

Love it from a former team "caption" on this team

He is obviously butthurt, which he has a right to be. 

We will see how it goes in the long term. Steve Smith and DeAngelo Williams also left here with some pretty hard feelings.

We eventually got SS back in the fold but not Williams. Ball is in CMC's court.

no, we were better with him. not enough to make it worth the price tag though, especially with his propensity to get injured...at least here anyways.

I mean… if you were him, and we know he doesn’t like being kept off the field, playing for Rhule. I’m sure he has some wear and tear injuries where he was like, “ok doc, I’m out for what..? 12 weeks, cool” which if he was on a competitor he’d fight to keep playing. I’m happy for the guy and hoping maybe in 5 years we can get him back for a SB run on a vet 1 year deal.

Disagree. He’s a west coast boy to begin with. He had a shitty coach for arguably his prime. I don’t think he has hate for the organization. I think it was just a rebuke of Rhule. But also a sports player placation of his current team.

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.

Their run has to be nearing it's end. That Trey Lance deal was terrible.

      Bryce laughing (from game day thread)

      By frankw · Posted

      Jake in his prime was a gutsy QB. But just like with even someone like Cam. Father time is undefeated. It's very unfortunate we have a guy who is only 24 years old that has an equivalent arm to that. Absolutely blows my mind that our brain trust lacked the basic common sense to value arm talent when making a massive trade with ramifications for years to come. Unforgivable incompetence.

      Jake, to me, will always hold a special place in my heart.  I really feel like for his era, he deserved way more love than he got, and should’ve had more than his one Pro Bowl.  He was a gamer with an underrated rocket arm. but let me tell you, after his Tommy John surgery, when he came back, I can’t remember who it was against, but it think it was a division game, he threw a ball that was supposed to be a throw away, as I think he was under pressure, and that poo floated forever and died right at the boundary where a defender ran over and picked it off.  One of the worst throws I ever saw.  His arm just wasn’t the same after the injury and surgery.  All that to say, that’s what almost every Bryce throw to the sidelines looks like to me.

      And again, when watching him in college he had one distinct trait that I feel makes a franchise QB - on those plays when everything breaks down around him, he creates one on his own.  He doesn’t rely on or need everyone else.  That play last night on the final drive where he was getting sacked and threw it to Diggs before his knee hit the ground?  He does similar things all the time.  Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc., they all do it.  It’s what made Cam so special. but we picked a guy that’s the opposite of that.  He desperately needs someone else to make a play for him because he can’t.  Even that play yesterday on 4th down to Horn.  That wasn’t a great pass.  The defender was late and came down to make a play in the ball and Bryce threw it high and outside where Horn had to leave his feet and really use strong hands to catch it.  We relied on a 5’9” rookie playing in his first pro game to make THAT catch at THAT time bc of the early turnovers and a not great throw.  Crazy.
