"McCaffrey can't run in between the Tackles"


Jaxel

Recommended Posts

I'm a fan of McCaffrey but those highlights don't really show what he will do against an NFL defense. On a ton of those highlights he is untouched- in the league yards after first contact is huge- again not saying he won't be a good player but we all know he is fast and has fantastic agility.

It's just that so many people are afraid of him cause he "can't run in our system". Seriously??? this is exactly what we do!

The difference is that we do it against NFL teams.  I think mccaffrey will be very good in the right system as a complimentary player, and at 40 or even a small trade up from 40 I'm good with.  At 8 I want more than that though.

Yea that highlight video was him mostly untouched. He jumped over twice and was untouched on most of them....that wouldn't be the "this guy can take the rock up the middle" highlight video I'd be showing to prove he can get tough inside runs. Then again they don't usually make highlights of tough 4 yard runs or even just take the 2 you got on this play type of videos either.

He's a play maker with hands, vision, versatility, speed, and quickness and can't really be faulted for actually making good plays and taking the right gap to the house. He could be in the slot and move behind Cam, or be behind Cam and then motion out to the slot or outside....he doesn't have to leave the field whether he's going to run or go out on a route.

    • T-Mac is a nickname, Tet is a shortening of Tetairoa. Like you said below... your name is Jonathan, I could see "Jonny" being considered a nickname, but Jon isn't a nickname, it's a shortening of Johnathan, see the difference? And if your mom named you Jonathan for it's biblical significance/meaning, because she was very religious, I think it would be different. T-Mac is Polynesian, so much in their culture has deeper meaning for them, particularly names.  So for his mom to feel this way, I highly doubt it's just because she likes the name Tetairoa and not Tet, it's much more likely than not to be because the name itself has a deeper meaning in their culture.   Particularly as T-Mac himself has often talked about how much his Polynesian heritage means to himself and his family. And no, I'm not saying all this because of how much he's my guy, if he was just "normal american" and his name was Jonathan and he didn't like fans calling him Jon, I'd probably just say tough poo.  It's that he's Polynesian and I know things like names have a much deeper meaning in their culture than they do in ours for the most part. For whatever it's worth, a quick google search.......
