No he didn’t. He had less than 500 yds rushing, on 3.7 yds per carry and most here were saying that he was a wasted top 10 pick, we should have drafted someone else or that’ Kamara was better

Sounds familiar? We will here more of it after Sunday about Brooks 

He had another 600 yards receiving and showed dynamic playmaking ability... Over 1k from scrimmage as a rookie is pretty good. The concern was he was a RB that couldn't run between the tackles so he couldn't be an every down back.

To the point of limited production on the ground specifically, definitely.

As a rookie CMC had 1058 rush AND receiving yards.   That's not a struggling a rookie.  What was evident, is he needed to gain muscle to be able to run between the tackles as a rookie.  Which I commented on in that post.  He made that correction and 2 years later was a 2k RB with 1000k rushing and 1000k receiving and the hands down best RB in the game.  He did get a lot better, quickly.   

and rookie CMC still managed a better ypc than Jonathan Stewart that year.   We were run heavy.   Running into teams playing the run. 

and Alvin Kamara probably was a better value pick.  He was a half step behind CMC for a 3rd round value.  That's more acknowledging what what a steal Kamara was.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By frankw · Posted

      Right but I'm not talking about other teams I'm talking about the Carolina Panthers who are heading into 8 consecutive years of losing seasons. We can argue about stats advanced metrics and expectations until we're blue in the face. Winning when the playoffs are on the line is a very key goal for any starting QB in the NFL. And not for nothing but let's keep it real here. We hung our hats on the Packers game in his rookie season after weeks of either poor or mediocre QB play. And now we're doing the same with his sophomore season albeit with a little larger sample size. But still picking and choosing what to judge just leads to an echo chamber on either side of the debate. We should all be able to meet at a consensus that competing passing the eye test and winning some games convincingly early in the season is realistically the goal for our #1 pick heading into year 3.

      Panthers start making cuts to roster

      Clowney released

      Y'all forgetting about Maz Mwansa.   He would be the fifth DE IF the cut Barno and DJ Johnson.  He would not cost us a roster spot--and that is the key. "Carolina’s pass rush is being reshaped under new outside linebackers coach AC Carter, and recent addition Patrick Jones II. While Mwansa won’t count against the active roster thanks to the IPP slot, his upside is significant. He’s been likened physically to Eagles pass rusher Nolan Smith Jr. and already shows flashes of edge-bending potential. Panthers Director of Player Personnel Cole Spencer summed it up: “Anytime you get a raw ball of clay like that, and the league affords a roster spot, it’s pretty cool.”
