I was wrong about CMC

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

      PFF Weeks 9-13 top passing grades

      By MHS831 · Posted

      If I am not mistaken, we took Bryce because we pegged him to be cerebral, like Russell Wilson or Drew Brees.  I think his first NFL pass was a pick, and then he started second guessing--which is OK when you have an OL and can get it done in 2;7 seconds.  Lotta folks on here bashing Canales--but Young needed a patient, positive coach.  I still hesitate to sing his praises, but the last 5 weeks have been amazing

      Free agent WR targets?

      By Stingray3030 · Posted

      I would love to see our 2nd pick in the 1st RD be a WR like those 2 guys - first pick has to be DL, EDGE, or CB for me.  I prefer Abdul Carter.  If we end up with a top 3 pick we could work a few trades and end up with 2 firsts.

      By Stingray3030 · Posted

      I love Tee and would love to have him here, but not sure we wanna pay him $20-23M a year given our situation - or if he wants more.  Godwin at a discount I would.  No other FA WR moves the needle in my opinion and just ties up more money that we need elsewhere.  We have quite a few decisions to make for our own FA's: Xavier Woods, Andy Dalton, Brady Christensen, Tommy Tremble, Jordan Fuller, Johnny Hekker, Eddy Piniero, JJ Jansen, Sam Franklin, David Moore, Michael Jackson, Raheem Blackshear, Jalen Coker, Cade Mays, DeShawn Williams Plus guys expiring in 2026 that we may wanna resign now which may or may not impact our cap: DJ Wonnum, Jaycee Horn, Taylor Moton Plus guys we should be cutting and taking a hit:  Miles Sanders, others?
