I really don't think he sandbagged here. We were never in contention, and if we were, he would have suited up more than he did his last two years here.

And he's hurt because he is used and worked more than anyone at the position. Dude has more mileage on his body than just about anyone else in the league not named Derek Henry.

He's broken the 400 touches threshold twice, which is a death sentence for a RB's next season, and both seasons post 400 touches he was injured, imagine that.

He's an elite talent but he's overworked.

Thank you. It's annoying because anytime load management has been suggested with CMC folks act like that's not a thing in the NFL and his usage is normal. But when the guy pulls a hamstring after playing 98% of the snaps week in and out he's "injury prone"

At some point CMC is going to need to switch to WR if he wants to continue playing and avoiding injury. The hits just add up playing RB but CMC could be a top 5 slot WR in the NFL if he chose to go that route. He could easily extend his career buy 3 or 4 years if he makes the switch.

He never sandbagged here, he was just the only thing we had going and we used him to the point of breakage.

Same thing happened in San Fran.

Dude has left it all out there on the field and has whooped all challengers except for two: Wear and Tear.

He's the Luke Kuechly of running backs and I hope he'll get his HoF bid on the first round, too.

Maybe as a RB, but I always said that when his RB days are behind him, he’s going to turn into a great slot WR and stick around in the league well into his mid 30’s

Hes now had 2 major non contact injuries.  He's done.  A position change won't take away the beating he has taken

      Free agent WR targets?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      We need a #1--I get that, but in terms of the cap and looking for a bargain, I like to find a gem in the mud instead of paying top jewelry store prices.  When I look at the options, one guy who I liked coming out of college and he is a "type" we really don't have, was just traded to the Falcons before the season and blew out his knee in camp.  Rondale Moore.  He will be 25 and had a 500 yard season at 22.  Has not been in great places (Arizona, Atlanta) and he is the type of WR who could make plays--not sure what his recovery situation is. Higgins is my other answer, but he is not a #1 and will want #1 money, imo.  Have not really researched it yet, so just speculating.

      I wouldn’t pay Godwin anything close to that coming off of a season ending ankle injury  Godwin has also torn his ACL previously  I feel like he’ll stay in Tampa and give them a slight discount but he’s not the guy I’m making our first big WR move for

      Thielen Catch

      By KSpan · Posted

      Thielen immediately went out of bounds before he established/re-established control in the ref's eyes, and a moving ball/moving hands adds the element of doubt. That is the issue and why it's incomplete. Someone can bat and bobble the ball all the way down the field as long as they stay in bounds and have it in firm, clear control before going out of bounds. It was unfortunately not clear enough here. Right, but the hand and ball movement introduces a big element of question. He clearly did not have full control in the eyes of the ref and I agree with that call, or at least understand it. If he is in the middle of the end zone and not immediately going out of bounds and the exact same thing plays out then it's an unquestionable TD.
