Best player in the entire NFL.

[WarPanthers89]

If we have this much talent and he has an mvp troupe season, no excuse to not make it to the playoffs and go deep. Any less we should clean house 

[MVPccaffrey]

He was the offense last year, and was the offense yesterday.  One of the best skill position players already to ever suit up for Carolina.  Maybe already only behind 89.  Pay him whatever he wants when the time comes.

We are very lucky to have CMC.

I have to say though I cringe at the fans who are welcoming the notion of us running him into the ground. Did you see how McVay used Gurley yesterday later in the game? They also wore us down with the backup RB. There's this thing called versatility that Panthers fans really really really need to begin understanding.

He's great. I think he's the best RB to ever suit up for us and I still think we haven't seen his peak. He runs with strength, shiftiness and smarts. He catches like a star WR1 and breaks away like he was Agent89 rebuilt. But more than anything, that kid gives everything he's got on every play -- finishes off runs and basically carried this entire team on his back for that last scoring drive.

CMC is to be applauded and marveled over, but he is not to be used as an excuse to fire Rivera or knock down Cam. He is something that will hopefully inspire his teammates, though.

[Knockout]

Just imagine what he'd be capable of if we had a QB that could throw the ball deep.

I will deepthroat even more by saying, Duh, Since he's the best player in the history of since we started taking down histories

The fans don't need to understand it, we can't do anything about it, the coaches do.

Alas, we have dumb coaching.

The rest of the offense better step up or teams will eventually shut McCaffery down.

CMC is amazing, the offense has gone from Cam doing everything to CMC. its never any balance with the panthers.

Rivera ran Cam till other teams beat him damn near to death. Do you really think he will not do the same to CMC if it means saving his job.

[Bronn]

We're currently on course to ride him into the dirt for another few years. After that, he'll probably have to hang it up.

I hope not, for our sake and his.

What is it with us and completely overusing/wasting generational talent?

Rivera. The common thread.

[Bartin]

Just saw a stat that we are 3-6 when CMC gets over 20 touches and 0-10 when he catches at least 7 passes.

Probably means the offense sucks when we have to force feed him or take checkdowns all game.

That's basically the point of the post?

And I'm just gonna have to go ahead and burst this Cam is washed and CMC is the savior bubble by pointing out the obvious. RB's are becoming less and less a position where you have to invest the farm for them. You can find examples of that across the league. Ask L. Bell after watching James Connor play. Ask holdout Melvin Gordon whose Chargers team won convincingly yesterday without him and kept chugging right along to a win. Even the Rams easily ran in a score on us with their backup running back. You do not have to run one RB into the ground in the NFL anymore to win consistently.
