He didn’t have health issues last year - he put his potential nfl career ahead of his team.  He flat out refused to play most games.  I’m an App alumni, donor, and ticket holder…most of us die hard fans spent the season pissed at him. 

Kinda ridiculous to be mad at a college kid protecting his potential pro career. It ain't basketball or soccer. Every time those kids take the field they legitimately risk an injury that could derail any chance of a pro career.

I won't get excited until I see him legitimately running with the big dogs. The highlights don't do anything for me to be honest. He's looking a little pedestrian among so-so competition. Perhaps it's a function of the offense, but they seemed to run him around the edge way too much, and it looks like to me that he just doesn't have that type of speed, or quickness in the flat. I see him as a PS guy at this point. I don't know who he'd beat out. We can just pull one of the TEs to play H-back or fullback when necessary.

That was all his “pop” plays. His bread and butter was moving the pile. But when he gets on the outside, Cam can move.

As am I! Go App! Word from the locker room was he hated the rotation from Coach Clark. You remember. 2 runs and they would pull him for Nate. Then Nate got pulled for Harrington. Then back to Cam. Cam hated the rotation and couldn’t stay fresh. I agree with him 100%. When he was loose, he was a machine. I hated the way coach Clark rotated his backs. And I know from first hand conversations, he did too.

If he really did refuse to play when available to avoid injury I fail to see how that will change in the NFL.

Things change when you're getting paid and are potentially easily replaceable. People have made this argument against kids sitting out meaningless bowl games but I've never seen any evidence of that decision negatively impacting draft stock or the mentality carrying over to the NFL.

      Kalkbrenner and Sion James received regular contracts and not two ways, so the Hornets have some work to do to cut the roster size down.

      Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
