If Christian McCaffrey was black, he would be a top 10 pick

LOL, I do think there is SOME bias as he's a honkey, but I don't think it's that much.

McCaffrey is a fluid player, moves exceptionally well, catches better than most of the WRs, and can kill it as a return specialist.  Is he a 3 Down RB?  Can get get you 3rd and 1 consistently?  Can he take a 300 carry season?  While it's not uncommon for a smaller back to dominate in college, even D1, it's another thing for them to do so in NFL.

I just don't think he's got the build to take getting beat up 25 carries a game for 16 game season.  Now I do think that he's a wonderful weapon.  Play him in space, screens, get him the ball on the edge, change of pace, he's worth a mint.  But you need a creative offensive coordinator to make it work.

He will probably be a Packer or Seahawk and torment us for the next 10 seasons

If he goes to someone who can use him as a mismatch player, he's going to continue to be a human highlight maker.

Could be somewhat true I think it's more so to do with him not being an every down back. When's the last time a rb with his skillset went that high at all? From a scat back receiving standpoint dion Lewis and sproles got drafted in the 4/5 round but McCaffery is bigger than the other two but not as fast. 

On second thought it seems more of a reach honestly.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce

      Yea Bryce was definitely a top half qb the second half of last season but I'm not sure Canales is 100% sold on him.  Like I've said in another post I think that's part of why we talked to so many South Carolina players in the draft process.  I think they are doing early due diligence on Sellers just in case.
