Considering that he pulled up lame last season instead of getting a contact injury, I agree with @kungfoodude, it's mileage more than contact at this point.

High mileage/usage in college and high mileage/usage in the NFL. It just kind of is what it is.

I know he is getting paid to handle the whole load at the position but I'd rather he get his touches reduced by 20-40% and be able to see him play in 17 games rather than be out 60+% of the year being banged up.

I hope D'onta is the one that sees the heavy interior running with this revamped offensive line. He's shown that he can be that guy when that man-child in Tennessee went down. And he really hasn't had nearly as much battle damage as CMC. Yes, I'd put him above Chuba right now. As others have said, I'd use CMC as more of a weapon (along with DJ) in this offense rather than a pure RB. 

D'onta - 15 to 20 carries from the backfield a game

CMC - 15 to 20 touches a game from the backfield and slot

Chuba - 5 to 10 touches a game

We haven't used him right since Rhule got here. We won't limit his usage and will lean on him back into IR again. I would take a 4th just to not hear 'with a healthy CMC' from these people ever again. After Cam I have zero acceptance of that kind of usage and disregard for reality. The entire 'he is a competitor and wants to play' thing just screams weak coaches. It was one of Ron's worst qualities and it's just par for the course with Rhule.

I think this is a critical year for CMC.  He needs to prove that he can stay healthy and that can only be accomplished with a lighter load.  He'll need to accept that he doesn't have to carry the team.  

Having a better offensive line will hopefully mean he can be utilized more effectively and use Chuba for 30 - 40% of the carries, especially short yardage situations.

Roughly 2500 touches dating back to Stanford. Now non contact injuries are taking a toll. It doesn't take Miss Cleo to see the writing on the wall. But with a rookie QB incoming I damn sure hope he can last the season this time.

As if Rhule would be willing to give up the hope of having CMC on the field...

Anti-Rhule bias aside, the OL improvements and QB choice would really make CMC deadly if he remains healthy. A huge if but, depending on the offer, he's a great player to have.

Yes, because CMC has never been healthy. 

fug the stupidity.

Fitt just mentioned Dj Moore and CMC being used like Deebo. To me, when we had those 2 and Curtis doing those reverses and etc, we were real hard to defend. I recall plenty of times where the camera was confused where the ball was. If the RPO element is utilized and adding these aspects... the whole team benefits deeply. 

Shi Smith could also be excellent in this role if he makes it back to the team

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By Icege · Posted

      Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.

      Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on.

      Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
