Here is a good example of what Mike Davis offers vs what Christian McCaffrey offers as a running back. 

 

1st and 10 on the Chargers 19.

If CMC was in at tailback here, it is a touchdown. That is a huge hole to run through leaving only a single safety to shake between him and the end zone. 

So enough with the "trade CMC" talk. It is embarrassing.

Mike Davis is a very good compliment to a back like CMC. Anyone clamoring to trade him is stupid. My thing is, if the Panthers are say, 1-5 when McCaffrey is healthy enough to come back, is it worth playing him this season? He’s already an elite player and doesn’t need snaps. He needs wear and tear preservation. 

Is it worth playing him in a down year? Especially if he’s dealing with ankle injuries that are notorious to linger?

CMC isn't the type of guy that will want to sit and watch his team play. Aside from team goals, he has personal goals as well. To strip him of that may not be wise.

That is really a ridiculous question. Of course you play him if he is healthy. It is an insult to him and every other player to hold out someone who is healthy because they might get hurt unless we have wrapped up the playoffs and are sitting players waiting for the playoffs.

No you cant sit CMC, makes too much money to not play

Davis has his role, he's just... slow. I'd be 90% sure that bonnafon would have made it to the endzone on that play.

Davis is slow to the hole. He had a 25 yard run because the hole was 5 times that size. He was 12-24 the rest of the time. Bonnafon had 2 carries and even I could see he was way more explosive than Davis. We scored 21 points even though the Chargers played about as bad as it gets and even then our offensive efficiency almost let them win the game on the last play.

The Davis over CMC talk is downright embarrassing. The studs make a lot more than JAGs. It will always be that way.

Amazing the amount of people wanting to get rid of CMC and I got grief from a lot of the same saying we should have cut Short. Short’s cap hit this year is equal to CMC’s cap hit this year and next year. CMC is on a 3 year $39M deal if we see any decline in 2022.

SMH, I think I could do better than Hurney but man some of these people would have Short and Davis next year instead of CMC.

I really see Davis as the Greg Olsen of this generations passing game. Solid hands, slow but keeps his feet moving, good power back that should do more of the up the middle poo when CMC is lined up as WR. Unfortunately though I haven't been all that impressed with his blocking when challenged by a good DL he straight up wiffed a lot of poo vs the Bucs.

You must only be thinking of late career Olsen. Prime Olsen definitely wasn't slow.

Davis is a good #2 RB. I still don't understand paying a #2 RB $3M in today's NFL. Everyone else is spending their money on WRs, DBs, and OTs. We're still spending all of our money on RBs and LBs like it's 1984.

What I don't get is why we even picked Davis up in reality. Ya, he's a solid player he proved that to me Sunday(Finally got his chance) but we literally had a stable of young potential RB's for way cheaper last year.

      PFF names Panthers QB Bryce Young the best deep passer

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      It's really only been 2 games. The NO team was so bad their coach was fired after the game and Chuba and the defense carried the team to the win against NY. He's played better but I'm not willing to crown him QB god yet. I want to see more than 2 games or even the rest of the season. I want a full 3rd season with the occasional clunker because it happens to every QB, even the great ones. I just need more than what we've seen to this point.

      So you proceed to let me have it since I’m asking for it lmfao by saying we’re not talking about a random if….what in your head doesn’t click If statements are not realistic. If statements allow me to say anything and make it sound logical. “If” statements in this forum allow anyone without real statistical evidence or factual proof say anything will or can happen so speak directly to facts without these goofy azz if statements or accept all “if” statements. And to respond to your nonsense he had weapons he had protection. He had a rookie WR playing his first NFL game with Mingo and DJ as his other primary targets. How have either preformed since being traded let’s go deeper into that he had weapons. His top targets(week one) XL 7 targets DJ 6 targets Mingo 5 targets now the rookie has has about 8-9 games before Bryce’s return and we’ve seen XL develop some since the start of the season. And those other TOP weapons have a combined 3 catches in a combined 9 games since being traded. 5 for DJ 4 for Mingo these are the top targets your refer to as who he should have been shining with. Is it all on Bryce or these WRs being actual liabilities and not good players does that matter to you or should Bryce be able to elevate them? Do you really know football or is this my 12 yr old nephew spewing a childish mindset and asking us to accept it as serious football talk.  I’ve just seen the post from @Icege It’s sad after being shown actual facts you don’t know what you should be eating crow about buddy grow tf up. It’s ok to be wrong it doesn’t make you a bad guy you’re just wrong about Bryce . You said quote “Bryce can’t throw down field” do you still feel that way? You said a lot of nonsense that has now been proven wrong but we need to keep waiting right ok kool. I can agree with that we need more much more good play before we fully commit for next season, but to act like the progression being shown isn’t impressive as sht. We’re seeing Bryce play good while waiting on more consistency to crown em but you gotta get out of that dark place because living in denial is a bad place to reside.

      Free agent WR targets?

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      Thielen is a free agent, isn't he? And regardless we need a younger version of him anyway. I see XL + Coker as our #1 and #2 with Palmer as the #3 in that scenario.
