Move cmc to another team in 2022. Maybe buffalo? We need picks.

His contract is bad, no one will take him unless we eat a lot of it.  But maybe there is something to be worked out or a Watson trade.

Anyway I agree.  I felt this way last year.  He's became that "amazing player but always hurt" role.  If moving to WR for most plays can prevent some injuries it's worth it.  But I don't know if that would help exactly, he may just be broken goods at this point.  I'll never understand what we were thinking, extending a RB still on a rookie deal.   No one is more sad than Rhule and staff they obviously planned on using him as a crutch this year.

I never bought into CMC as a WR but I don't know what else we can do with him now.

fug it....worth a shot.

Remember that seam route last week where he walked into the end zone?

Yea he should’ve been doing stuff like that for a while now.

If Welker can come in as a college QB and do it, CMC will easily be the a huge slot threat.

It amazes me how coaches can somehow look at CMC and see Jerome Bettis. That is the definition of square peg round hole dinosaur coaching.

Meanwhile fresh coaches who adapt and have creativity continue to win. McVay Reid Lafluer…so on and so forth…not a single one would use CMC as a bruising back let alone the only back lol. It’s asinine.

He is done as a running back. He will never have a healthy season there again.

 

As a slot receiver he could still be a dangerous weapon and also has a much better chance of staying healthy. 

Here here.  He would be deadly as a receiver and still worth the money we pay him.

This is stupid, if you dont think he can play running back you need to move on from him but this idea that CMC is made of glass in a league were Kamara is injured, Cook is injured, and Henry is out for the season is ridiculous. 

He has played 1/3 of games since extension.

Honestly if this staff is still here, it ain’t gonna matter 

if a new coaching  staff comes in, trade him to a mid tier team for a 1st or a second and a a third next year and rebuild this sorry ass team with someone in the Nfl who knows how

    • I think his stats will depend on the development of the rookies and sophomore receivers, which isn't totally under is control. The eye test is a different story. Has to consistently look the part before you decide to pay him Purdy money. 
    • Interestingly I think we have kind of of gone through this as an organization. Richardson implemented an FO driven tank. Bad roster, no cash spent, coach uninterested. It may have been for different reasons but I think the results were the same. A team that wasn't going to win many if any games. We ended up with the #1 pick. Cam Newton came in and changed the franchise. It worked, but Cam himself pointed to the losing culture in the locker room needing to be changed. It probably took about 2-3 years for that to happen. Tank worked pretty damn well for us. Cam is one of one. Not another like him, everyone can't deliver on his draft status AND change a culture basically on his own.  So as an exercise here are the last 30 #1 picks. If you tanked and got to pick #1 how many of these guys do you think were worth it? Not just good players, but franchise changers. Guys who will take your culture and shift it so the tank was actually worth it. I would say maybe 9 or 10 guys would be worth a tank, pending the last 5 picks?    2025: Cam Ward (Miami (FL)) - Tennessee Titans 2024: Caleb Williams (USC) – Chicago Bears 2023: Bryce Young (Alabama) – Carolina Panthers 2022: Travon Walker (Georgia) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2021: Trevor Lawrence (Clemson) – Jacksonville Jaguars 2020: Joe Burrow (LSU) – Cincinnati Bengals 2019: Kyler Murray (Oklahoma) – Arizona Cardinals 2018: Baker Mayfield (Oklahoma) – Cleveland Browns 2017: Myles Garrett (Texas A&M) – Cleveland Browns 2016: Jared Goff (California) – Los Angeles Rams 2015: Jameis Winston (Florida State) – Tampa Bay Buccaneers 2014: Jadeveon Clowney (South Carolina) – Houston Texans 2013: Eric Fisher (Central Michigan) – Kansas City Chiefs 2012: Andrew Luck (Stanford) – Indianapolis Colts 2011: Cam Newton (Auburn) – Carolina Panthers 2010: Sam Bradford (Oklahoma) – St. Louis Rams 2009: Matthew Stafford (Georgia) – Detroit Lions 2008: Jake Long (Michigan) – Miami Dolphins 2007: JaMarcus Russell (LSU) – Oakland Raiders 2006: Mario Williams (North Carolina State) – Houston Texans 2005: Alex Smith (Utah) – San Francisco 49ers 2004: Eli Manning (Mississippi) – San Diego Chargers 2003: Carson Palmer (USC) – Cincinnati Bengals 2002: David Carr (Fresno State) – Houston Texans 2001: Michael Vick (Virginia Tech) – Atlanta Falcons 2000: Courtney Brown (Penn State) – Cleveland Browns 1999: Tim Couch (Kentucky) – Cleveland Browns 1998: Peyton Manning (Tennessee) – Indianapolis Colts 1997: Orlando Pace (Ohio State) – St. Louis Rams 1996: Keyshawn Johnson (USC) – New York Jets 1995: Ki-Jana Carter (Penn State) – Cincinnati Bengals
