Now that we are out of playoffs do you sit CMC?

Can you imagine if every team out of playoff contention did this? After the mid point of the season there would be a lot of terrible games.

Ummmm, we have done just that in the past under Hurney.

Anytime we got late in the season and things weren't looking like playoffs, Hurney would start sending guys to the IR for finger sprains in an attempt to use injuries as a reason not to lose his job.

I don't see how we can pull of not playing CMC completely but we can heavily rotate him. I still think we are a game or two away from that but it's coming soon and I would have no problem with it.

Hyperbole.

Which player worth a damn that wasn't legitimately injured did he send to IR?

Hey Eeyore, we haven't been eliminated from the playoffs yet.

Exactly

Until the Panthers are officially eliminated you won’t see Ron sitting CMC or any other player with a significant role.

Maybe we get lucky and that happens against the Skins

I think this is a myth that's been propagated for whatever reason. If you have actual facts to back this claim up I'd love to see it.

Chris Johnson's record is in sight.   He ain't sitting.

we ain't even eliminated yet and we can beat anyone on our schedule.

i agree but looking at who's above them in the wildcard race is pretty daunting. i just don't think it's realistic

plus everything bonafon has shown us indicates he needs some more snaps

obviously cmc is the best player on the team right now but i worry about his longevity. though his game will typically lend itself to a longer career, inshallah

I don't disagree with Bonafon needed more snaps. 

But CMC can still get normal reps.  And I think you don't shut him down until we are eliminated and is off pace to break the record.   He gets abnormal reps right now.

You think we can beat the Seahawks?

yeah that's gonna be rough

i actually think burns is the best player on the team for tracking down wilson but ron will bench him for like the ghost of charles johnson or something

We probably know Wilson/Carroll better than any opponent not in our division.  We both whipped each other once but outside of that they almost play out like a classic divisional game every time we meet them. 

and it is at home.  So I think it is winnable.
