How long does CMC last under a Rivera/Hurney regime

[mc52beast]

Heard the guys talking about this on WFNZ this morning. A lot of people think CMC won’t last 2-3 more years if he continues to carry the kind of workload he had this year. Others say getting rid of CJ wasn’t a big deal because CMC can handle it... which side are you on?

Be willing to bet he last longer than most RBs do mb in the NFL. 

3 5 years is the average career length of RBS in the NFL.

I think CMC does a good job of avoiding the types of hits that really hurt. Think he just has a sense of when to get down or get out of bounds before a big hit will happen.

I think he will have a long career in the NFL, especially with how adept he is at catching the ball

I hope he outlasts Ron and Hurney for that matter.  But at his current pace it's looking sketchy.

He did this for all 3 years in college so this is typical for him to touch the ball multiple times. After all he broke Barry Sanders all purpose yard record. On the other hand injuries happen sooner or later so he could only be around for 2 or 3 years more. It won't be because of how he is being used. He wants the ball on every down.

I hate the growing narrative that his load's fine since he didn't get injured. We shouldn't just bend him until he breaks. The guy is so integral to the offense now that time away for even a minor injury would cripple the team.

It isn't even about just risking him to injury, it's about versatility in your offense. Look at the Rams, Chiefs, and even the Patriots running the ball down teams throats with versatility. They aren't trying to run the offense through only one player though. Ya'll wanna celebrate all purpose yards in a losing season, yeah it's great, but guess what? Still no back to back winning seasons, and we tumbled to the bottom of the division in the process. How is this a good thing? I get trying to find a silver lining, but for a fanbase that in the past has constantly cried about not getting respect, you should all be able to see this. Especially the fans giving people poo for calling out Ron Rivera's mismanagement.
