"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.

    • There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.
    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
