I was wrong about CMC

This is why you don't overpay RBs.

 

Low shelf life and not much impact unless they are surrounded by a great roster.

 

Saquan was nothing in NY. The moment he got on a good roster his talent become more noticeable. He's now in the MVP conversation just like 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
