He already is a great receiver that plays out of the backfield. I would rather have him on the field then traded, with whatever the cap implications are. 

If Curtis Samuels can do it when healthy, CMC can blow the doors off doing it. 

 

That’s it he’s great coming out of the backfield , I don’t think in the slot on every play but I don’t think we should move an elite talent from RB because we’re afraid he might get hurt.If he’s in the slot and he has weak hammy then that’s a lot more stress on running routes unless you want him to be like Moss and the ball not coming to him just jog or take the play off.

It was initially about 3 weeks. This is the third week, it’s not like it’s week 14

I think the reaction is warranted considering CMC himself was acting all healed up and ready to play in his presser last week (or week before).

He literally said “I’m ready”

It's not fear of him getting hurt, it's already a two year's of proof it's happening now.

He is a freak, I would put $5 down on him being the best WR we have after switching positions. As for the rest, I just disagree. Blocking and getting tackled by men from the trenches is a hell of a lot worse on the body.

It was stupid to extend him until after his 4th season...that's what we should have done...Marty didn't.

Welp...next time dont draft a RB in the top 10 and give him a crazy workload as the only offensive productive weapon every single game. Marty Hurney did neither one of those things and CMC would have sat out till he got paid. Cant make it anymore clearer than that.

Drafting him wasi fine, and I approve of it...paying him early is dumb, especially for the position.

I disagree if your not worried about him getting hurt you leave him at RB were he’s elite.He’s not getting hurt by men in the trenches his hammy was hurt in the open field , his ankle last year was out in space, and his shoulder was hurt by a safety when he caught the ball in the flat, his quad he hurt working out. You do know in the slot he will need to block down on DE and LB and the tunnel screeen and a lot of  other short routes men in the trenches make them tackles. He wants to play RB and that’s what he was born to do because a lot of people forget a lot of time what sets him apart is his vision on running plays think back to the Jags game 2- years ago. If these injuries required surgeries to his knees or shoulders then RB might be the problem but with the injuries he’s had the last 2 years moving to WR will not stop them.

DJ Moore was asked if he had to do it all over again if he would like to be a running back. He said no they take too many hits. That’s all that needs to be said. Cmc could be a dominant slot receiver who gets touches out of the backfield a handful times per game. If I’m cmc I’m asking for this switch up to prolong my career. He could get a bigger payday that way as well when this contract ends rather than trying to keep playing as a 3 down back.

The hits add up. It’s wear and tear. He’s also added too much bulk to his frame. He was never ever this big at Stanford or his first two years in the league. He needs to lean up and switch positions.

Will just have to disagree the hits are not adding up because none of his injuries are between the tackles but from the same spots on the field he would get from playing slot .That would be like telling Cam you can’t run with the ball from the QB position and have a lengthy career but if you switch to TE your career might last longer which they wanted to do in his early years with the Gators. Can didn’t want it and CMC doesn’t either which I think both should play the position we’re they are elite even if it shortens their career

I don’t even know where to begin with this analogy.

      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...
