I really don't think he sandbagged here. We were never in contention, and if we were, he would have suited up more than he did his last two years here.

And he's hurt because he is used and worked more than anyone at the position. Dude has more mileage on his body than just about anyone else in the league not named Derek Henry.

He's broken the 400 touches threshold twice, which is a death sentence for a RB's next season, and both seasons post 400 touches he was injured, imagine that.

He's an elite talent but he's overworked.

Thank you. It's annoying because anytime load management has been suggested with CMC folks act like that's not a thing in the NFL and his usage is normal. But when the guy pulls a hamstring after playing 98% of the snaps week in and out he's "injury prone"

At some point CMC is going to need to switch to WR if he wants to continue playing and avoiding injury. The hits just add up playing RB but CMC could be a top 5 slot WR in the NFL if he chose to go that route. He could easily extend his career buy 3 or 4 years if he makes the switch.

He never sandbagged here, he was just the only thing we had going and we used him to the point of breakage.

Same thing happened in San Fran.

Dude has left it all out there on the field and has whooped all challengers except for two: Wear and Tear.

He's the Luke Kuechly of running backs and I hope he'll get his HoF bid on the first round, too.

Maybe as a RB, but I always said that when his RB days are behind him, he’s going to turn into a great slot WR and stick around in the league well into his mid 30’s

Hes now had 2 major non contact injuries.  He's done.  A position change won't take away the beating he has taken

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      Xavier Legette is the face of the NFL at the Kentucky Derby

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Jaycee LOCKDOWN Horn is due for a breakout year

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
