We failed to use CMC correctly, it’s not his fault.

Sometimes, teams cater too much to their superstar players and forget that it really does take a team to win. Seems like the Panthers fell into that pattern. Trading CMC is going to be a blessing in that they now have to have a fully developed offense. And teams can't just camp on the star anymore.

I have no illusions that the Panthers are a playoff team, but I think it proves good QB play is more beneficial than any other position on the field. Not RB nor WR, good QB play.

Will be happy if CMC is successful in San Fran, but I think we'll see addition by subtraction here.

I’m not disagreeing with you at all. I just feel like it’s our fault we were not capable of balancing the offense and I don’t think we are a more talented team without him. Granted, we may play better AS a team. But it’s sad he had to leave in order for us to succeed. QB play is far more important than any other position, but we didn’t have to get rid of CMC to have good QB play, and if we did, then our coaching staff is to blame. Regardless of the reason, he is gone and we are one game away from potentially leading the division. Hope PJ continues to play well.

It’s the easiest position to replace in the NFL. 

The great Jim Brown retired after the 1965 season after winning MVP and leading the league in rushing for the 8th time in 9 seasons. He was replaced by Leroy Kelly who put up 3 All-Pro caliber seasons from 1966-1968 before injuries began to affect him. The Browns were a title threat every year for the rest of decade with Kelly as the feature back although they never made it to the Super Bowl.

You just can't replace a great RB with a  scrubb. But, a good running back behind  good/great offensive run blocking will usually keep the offense running smoothly (no pun intended)

Soooo, is it bad of me to kind of hope the 49'ers keep on losing so those draft picks we got from them become even better. I wish the best for CMC and would like for him to get a ring at some point but for this season I want those better draft picks.

Wrong? Why would you want them to do well? It helps us none.

I like CMC and would like for him to get a ring at some point, which seems to be a sentiment of a decent amount of our fanbase, that is why. For me, I wouldn't mind seeing him win one but this season I'd like for the 9'ers to lose to make our picks better.

Amazing what a couple of running backs many here called garbage and slow (Forman) can do when given the chance.  I think McCaffrey leaving is making the coaches actually coach for a change.  The O-line seems to be finding their footing a little now that they have had some time together as well.  Good to see them getting the ball to several players.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
