Trading him was honestly the right move. We needed draft assets to build around at that point much more than we needed a huge money RB that had missed a bunch of games the previous two seasons. That we did a ton of terrible drafting for years on end is totally different conversation.

Fair.

 
throw in the rumors of him not wanting to play even to he was cleared by the team doctors… I dont think he wanted to be a panther.

Does anyone know anyone else that thinks he is an MVP candidate in line with quarterbacks? Honestly the only reason he is in these conversations is because he has literal Stan's in the media sphere. How many playoff games now have they lost by double digits with him? They even had to create an all purpose yards category to get him in an All Pro slot. Comical.

Not playing him down the stretch in lost seasons when he was coming off injury was also honestly the right move.

Everyone knows this is between Stafford and Maye.

What's done is done. I do not think we received fair market value compensation for him. 

Somewhat interesting, there is an NFL commercial that featured a morph of running backs through the ages that ended with CMC in a Panthers uniform. I noticed this season the commercial changed, and no longer features him at all, but rather ends with Curtis Martin in a Jets uniform.

I respectfully disagree. Pro bowl player, A+ leader and locker room presence who sets the tone for the entire team, 1k rusher, 1k receiver, would be the perfect weapon for Bryce, we later spent a second round pick on a RB, and have spent big money on Chubba who was benched at one point this season, and none of the resources used still don’t come close to matching the production we got from CMC when he was with us. Sure he got injured (although some missed games were the coaching staff protecting him at the end of the season) but he was still young and you cannot replace a guy like him. This team would be a hell of a lot better with him, DJ and even Burns still on the team (we would kill for a double digit sack guy much less 16.5 and he’s #10 highest paid at his position currently

Was it though? Draft picks are lottery tickets. We traded a Ferrari for a few power ball tickets.

The odds were never good for us. It only makes sense if we couldn’t afford him. Given our lack of QB or any real talent…we could afford him.

Great players make other players great. A concept our past GMs never understood.

He DID want to play here. I don't know why that rumor persists. He even bought a big mansion. It wasn't until things went South, with the FO not being forthright that his attitude changed, and that was relatively last minute.

Although I wish we still had him because I think he would be deadly with Bryce's mobility, we had an idiot HC at the time who ran CMC to the ground and made our offense stale. Would not be surprised to see us bring him back one day for a SB push.

The Ferrari wanted out of our demolition derby though. That's the other big factor.
