CMC, Elite RB who will start!

We're going to paying Juice and Cmac around $18M combined. The opportunity cost is, say, an elite edge rusher. Imagine adding someone like Von Miller instead. And this isn't even taking into account the draft picks.

Just because we can use flashy rhetoric like "offensive weapon" doesn't justify the cost. Running backs have short shelf lives and are way too interchangeable. Obviously I am excited to watch him play, but I think this is a dumb move. Hope I'm wrong.

We have one of the best defenses in the league already, and a completely anemic offense. What the front office did makes far more sense than what you propose not to mention it is based in reality to help the team win this year and beyond. Drake Jackson and Bosa will be elite together in years to come.

I wonder how they will use CMC today. I can't imagine he knows many of the plays.

Totally agree and I bet KC is wondering the same.

Panthers just turned down two ones for burns for anyone thinking we could get an edge for a similar price as cmc.

When Mitchell returns, i'd really like to see CMC flexed to the slot on several plays. That's the beauty of this trade. RBs have a short shelf life but he's not just a RB. He can be a damn good receiver too and perhaps he transitions to WR as he gets older to extend his career.

Burns will probably end up on a rebuilding team and walk away when his current deal expires. They'll end up with nothing for him. Typical Panthers.

The Chiefs will zero In on CMC today, allowing either Kittle, Deebo or Aiyuk to have a big game.

I predict we'll see plenty of points scored today from both teams.

34-31 9ers.

Rams will get him somehow. LOL

Thoughts

My thoughts are if he's healthy and we can keep him on his feet, we'll be fine, if we can get all of these damned injuries under control. Last year the guy was playing with a f**ked up throwing hand and shoulder that required surgery. If f**kin Trent Dilfer can win a Superbowl, there's no reason Jimmy can't. Not that it will be easy, or non nerve wracking, but it's far from impossible with the defense we have, if we get most of it back.

Does he understand that not running the ball well IS our biggest offensive problem right now? Would the Giants be 5-1 without Saquon? Not likely. That's how much a special RB can lift a team. And he does not catch like CMC, so I'm gonna respectfully disagree with this take. Once he's comfortable in our system, the rest of the league is screwed.

Who the f**k is Patrice Daughters? And are we talking about CMC or Jimmy?

It was a knock on Jimmy G. Go figure.
