I was wrong about CMC

I read that running backs are almost twice as likely to go to IR as any other position.  That is a lot of wear and tear and probably why they don't last as long as some other positions.  While he could come back next year and play well, this is his 8th year, and that seems go be when rb's start to fade.   And some (Earl Campbell for example) don't make it that long.   

 

Glad he got to play in a SB before he is finished.

He had 339 touches last year and 329 touches in 2022.

He also came out of college with a record number of touches.

He's simply got a ton of miles on him and he'll be 29 next summer. Eventually it all adds up and that wall is there waiting for every RB.

All things I used against signing him to that completely insane extension and reasons why we actually did "win" that trade. The fact we squandered all the resources notwithstanding.

Amazing player at a position of limited value in the NFL and with some of the shortest careers.

Not to mention that his recent injuries are both overuse and overtraining related. He has been very hard on his body on top of that mileage.

Something has to give and it largely ended up being his longevity.

Not much impact in Carolina because we were on a downswing. When he started for SF they were 27-10 including a SB and NFC Championship appearance. When he didn’t start, they are 7-9.

I won’t disagree on the second contract but like Barkley after he got hurt, I wouldn’t be surprised if CMC has a solid year next year. 300-400+ touches a couple years in a row is typically not good for the following season.

People are jerking off over Saquon but he has been banged up too. He has missed 22.5% of the total games he could have played(to date). CMC will be at 28% by the end of the season(assuming SF doesn't make the playoffs). That isn't too far off.

Derrick Henry has missed a total of 8.3% of his total games in his career.

There's no way Barkley has a repeat of this year. RBs with a year like this usually follow it with a lot of missing time the next

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
