You won't find it. I listened to her interview and followed all that stuff. His attitude didn't begin changing until the very end, and that was because he perceived that the Panthers FO was putting him through unnecessary b.s. and basically lied to him. Some Huddlers just are trying to spin it (much like they did with Pep). McCaffrey bought a house and was planning to stay with the Panthers for the long term based upon Scott Fitterer's word...and then when the Panthers started changing their tune and stonewalling him to a degree, his attitude changed in the eleventh hour due to being jerked around. If he hates anything, it was the way that the FO treated him.

The FO made him the highest paid running back in league history the first go around before we even had a starting QB in place and he started getting nagging injuries from there.

This revisionist history that he was treated poorly here is outrageous.

We weren't talking about that. Any reasonable and honest fan knows that if they had told him straight-op that they were trading him, that he wouldn't bought that big mansion here. He wasn't mad about the money about his first contract, he was upset about the lies when it came time to renew.

That's reasonable if that's how you decide to look at it. Me? He seemed like a cool enough guy (just like other NFLers), so it's nice to hear about them succeeding in life beyond football.

It's not an "eternity," and plenty of NFL guys don't buy a spread like that unless they're trying to settle down roots. McCaffrey is not a dumb guy. Actually, the entire family seems smart if not practical. He wasn't out there flossing it up, he was planning to retire in Charlotte based upon what the FO was telling him and the vibes they were putting out.

Some of you guys already know this. I know you know, but you're trying to make CMC out to be a problem child. That's far from the truth. Why can't you say something like,"Good for Christian," or just don't say anything if you hate him that bad? We're supposed to be a smart fan base, right...?

If we are going to obsess over ex-Panthers, here is a good one from the ESPN poll of NFL execs and personnel guys, this is the outside top 10 list.

 

Just like CMC, he is who we thought he was.

It's amazing that so many people get fanboy syndrome for these guys assuming it is the team holding them back. That's the minority of the cases in our history. It's basically poker "bad beat" syndrome.

How soon we forget the reverse, all the guys we let go that tanked hard afterward.

"Fanboy syndrome" for wishing a guy well due to a new baby? Come on, Dude.

This conversation isn't even really about the team holding anybody back, and it was not even ostensibly about on-field play, injuries or even skills, but since some took it there, as an aside, it morphed into a side discussion about the FO being forthright in negotiations. If you're not going to extend my contract for whatever reasons, don't lead me to believe that you are. It's that simple.

I don't really care about your post at all. I just saw the direction of the discussion and this snippet from an article I read earlier in the day was a good spot to put non-Panthers info.

I mostly don't care about the players personal lives. That's off the field/personal poo. Not really any of my business. 

I also don't know him personally so what would be the point of congratulating him outside basically attempting to draw attention to myself like so many in the social media/internet realm.

Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way. 

Why would he not want to play for the niners?

Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy.
