The Pro Bowl should go the way of the old-time All-Star games. It should be eliminated. I remember when I worked at Dodger Stadium a lot of the old-timers would injure themselves by not realizing that old age had taken its grip. If I was an NFL All-Pro I would never play in one. The risk of injury is great and will hit the bottom line$. CMAC made the right move. Screw it.

The Pro Bowl has devolved into a glorified flag football game. The risk of injury is minimal, but it's also a waste of time for the players. The only way anyone would care about it would be to have it in the middle of the season like the other three major sports but the NFL will never do that nor should they. Being named to it is all that counts.

McCaffrey is a game changing player. Trading him would be a dumb move. They should seek to lock him up to a long term contract instead.

Christian McCaffrey 's rushing stats took a nose dive in the second half of the season in which Carolina lost eight in a row to finish 5-11. He can only be a "game-changer" on a playoff contender.
That can be said of any player whose called a "game-changer." I think we can safely call McCaffrey a game-changer in relation to how the term has been used every single time in the history of talk sports. He's a game-changer.
Yea if you look at any of the top backs they have stretches where their stats dip. Take Adrian Peterson in his prime, games where he had over 200 yards and games where he didn't crack 30 yards. His playoff average is 3.5 ypc. He put up great stats every year but Minny didn't win unless the qb play was good. If the qb can't capitalize on play action and the defense can't hold, then there's nothing the RB can do. Unlike Peterson, McCaffrey is a vital asset in the passing game, with 3rd down blocking and receptions, yet everyone else considered Peterson more of a "game changer" . That game changer often came out of passing situations for the likes of Chester Taylor and other mediocre backs that could provide more of a threat in the passing game, and could pass block better than the 7x pro bowler.
I think as good of a runner as he was, coming out like that hindered the offense, kind of predictable when you know he comes out on passing plays. Yep, total "game changer"

Not to mention the Panthers lost 5 games by a TD or less. Some of that's on the coaches, he's not Alstott so when there's a goal line d with 9 in the box instead of running him up the gut predictably on 1st and 2nd and down, how about play action to your big tight end. Nope, predictable running plays stuffed out leaving your play calling predictable on 3rd down so they can blitz and sack the qb. I believe 4 games ended like that. Then there was the game they lost to the Saints by a field goal, the kicker missed a fg in the 4th they lose by 3. Christian kept them in all of those games and if a few things change they have a winning season and the team doesn't lose morale

Not a big fan of the Rhule hiring and right now the Panthers are warming up on bringing Scam back for another season. I wouldn't mind seeing McCaffery end up in Philadelphia - would give Wentz some relief and compliment Ertz and Goedert (their only two quality offensive players _.

I'd absolutely like to see McCaffrey get traded to a team with a legitimate shot at the playoffs, especially if the Panthers are going to bring sCam back and have him run the ball himself on 25-30% of running plays. It'll help McCaffrey's stats and it'll help his status as a potential MVP candidate.

By no means is CM the only sports world figure lending a helping a hand during the pandemic. Robert Kraft is using his private plane to airlift in medical supplies here. And many others are contributing to the cause.
CM recognizes the sacrifice and heroism of the front line medical personnel in North and South Carolina and has decided to create his own fund raising project. Worthy cause and good for him. Medical staffs around the world are the "war heroes" of today as they deal with this global crisis. See below.

Max, Christian, Dylan and Luke better known as "Team McCaffrey" are working out together during the shutdown as dad Ed oversees the whole operation. Nifty! See below article which also includes a group picture. Next to Christian is his hot model Italian girlfriend.

The "hot model" bit is Clownworld antics, not that I don't blame the guy for getting some practice in, but his mom and dad need to sit him down before he knocks up a sub-optimal skinny little hottie cuz she's "hot." I'd rec some mate recruitment from a college volleyball or track team.

Wow. That's right gents. I'll see if I can hook you guys up with CM so you can offer him some dating tips. Ha. I have to think there is some half joking go on here.
By the way the genetic lottery sports notion is an inexact science at best. How can one be so sure this cutie pie and CM can't produce an athletic offspring?
Does this look like a man who can't handle himself?

Shadow here is a tip for them, become Instagram influencers, tip, top of the Clownworld peak, then you can go there and blurb out "ur girl is so hot." It will work out for all three of you. The way the NFL is going about the only role for white men going forward is a guy who takes photos for his cheerleader girlfriend's instagram account. Then Shadow won't be picking apart the details of the 40s but critiquing the lighting and shutter speeds.
Having fun with you Shadow, just my opinion you grant Clownworld too much respect and legitimacy. And one more thing, bikini chick is giving me the Danica Patrick vibe, a life sucker.

Attractive women are stereotyped as high-maintenance, although this one probably actually is.

Unbelievable news out of Carolina. It seems some fans were suggesting that McCaffrey was unnecessary and that the Panthers should trade him after substitute RB Mike Davis had couple of decent games and Carolina won a few games.
I WON'T be watching, but McCaffrey is expected to suit up Thursday against the Falcons. I hope he has a killer game. Keep me informed as the game is played Thursday?
Thanks
