And that strategy has rarely ever worked.  We will see what the Bucs look like next season once they get bounced from the playoffs.  

Packers live off of free agency/trades... Chiefs too... Bills as well. It's not a Bucs strategy. Even though they are the topic right now.

The amount he has played through college and his pro career is really high. He probably has as many touches as another RB who is 30. Not saying CMC isn’t still a great player but he will never achieve the numbers he put up in 2019 again. He wouldn’t stay healthy for another season with that kind of usage, few players would. History has shown us that time and a lot of touches aren’t kind of RBs. If there’s a chance to trade him for Watson, I do it without hesitation. 

I know that’s what you would do but it’s not reality. I can see the opposite opinion on a lot of things, and I agree that RBs don’t have as long of a shelf like as other positions, but it is crazy to have that argument at this point in CMCs career. He’s not even close to the age of breaking down..... he’s 24 years old. He had one season this year where he has been injured but has improved every year he has been in the league. Next year he will be a top 1-3 back yet again and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. If he were to switch to a slot WR later in his career he would be one of the best in the league in that role also.

The Packers, Chiefs and Bills can afford to because they drafted their franchise QB's, duh.

Who said use 1st round picks on depth?  I get that you guys are star struck over Watson but the reality is he alone cannot do it all.  You need a complete team and brother this team is not complete, not even close.

there are no complete teams

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
