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

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      Not totally inaccurate, haha Except that kid wasn't as excited as I was.  I was yelling louder, and more, and running around the room in circles until I almost passed out from exhausting and was trying to catch my breath for a good 10 minutes because I'm way too old to be doing that, LOLOL Oh, and I tweaked a muscle in my shoulder from all the punching the air I was doing too. For as awesome as that pick was for me, it really screwed me up for a few days between my shoulder and lost voice (Wrexham securing back-to-back-to-back promotions Saturday afternoon contributed to that though too).

      Getting Pierce jr isn’t forfeiting the pick they just had 2 1sts this year.

      Full disclosure and the real reason.... I'll be seeing my Nephew in basically one month from today, and while I've gotten him stuff from my other teams the past year, I hadn't been willing to saddle him with Panthers stuff yet, that's now changed lol. So if the jersey would get to me before I see him, I'd get that and him his first Panthers onesie/shirt so I can get a picture of us together in them. If it wouldn't get to me by then, I'd just wait to get the one I prefer.  So yea, my rush is really just about trying to get a picture of myself in it with my Nephew in Panthers gear too.
