McCaffrey's last 5 games will get you excited.

Briefly, I will eat my crow about him not being a top 10 prospect. I didn't see it and was very vocal about it. Once the pick was in I immediately embraced him as he's a Panther now. Upon further review these are some some reasons for optimism and confirmation for his supporters from the beginning.

In his last 5 career college games McCaffrey absolutely exploded.Check out these stats from just his last 5 games.

133 Carries or 26.6 Carries per game-

991 Yards

7.48 YPC 

10 Rushing TD's.

17 receptions for 130 yards or 7.64 yards per reception.

2 Receiving TD's.

That's 150 touches for 1121 yards and 12 TD's in his last 5 games plus 8 KR's and 3 Punt returns. This shows the kid can be a workhorse in the right system.

I'm sure its been mentioned before but he killed the combine as well.

His 4.48 40 yard dash was tied for 4th for all participating RB'S and he edged out all top RB prospects.

His 11.03 60 yard shuttle was 2nd among all participants at the cobmine and number 1 for RB's.

His 37.5 vertical was was tied for 2nd amongst participating RB's. Kamara was the only other top prospect above him here(39.5).

All of this explains why he saw no need for private workouts.  This kid has quite an impressive resume for someone who's only 20 (21 in July) and just oozes of the prototypical character/ locker room presence the Panthers have always desired.

    • Ummm not sure adding anther 5'9 180 pound soaking wet forward is the way to go here.....    
    • What has happened in HS athletics busted full force into the college world with this NIL/transfer portal stuff. HS sports has been jacked up for a long time now. You have all these "prep schools" that are basically just diploma mills for athletes who hoover up all the good athletes they can get and they're all on scholarship. Then they go out and recruit decent athletes with rich parents to come onboard and pay outrageous tuition while they tout their success at getting their athletes college scholarships. Yeah, those athletes getting college scholarships are the same ones you're giving scholarships to so that you can use them to recruit the rich kids whose parents can pay for it all. You see the same thing in youth travel ball leagues. The whole thing is just getting crazy.
    • It's your right to refer to it as vague, but it still flouts the theory of "zero evidence" that Tepper is changing. Here's another: "Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan are reportedly being given a larger leadership role within the organization. Panthers owner David Tepper 'has taken a more hands-off approach of late,' according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 'He's trying to trust Canales and GM Dan Morgan to get it right, knowing that the roster requires patience in its current state,' Fowler wrote. 'We shall see if he holds to that.'" https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10146782-report-panthers-david-tepper-has-taken-a-more-hands-off-approach-to-team   ""David Tepper just wants to win and he's gonna supply everything that we need to win.. Things are changing around here and things are looking really positive" ~ Dan Morgan  https://x.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1917639137550627107?t=6vgo8yXTO6eD0Gb55hyzNg&s=19   From about 2:15-6:35, Julian Council, Locked on Panthers, gives his take on whether Tepper seems to be changing (and specifically referenced the war room in his analysis):    Dean Jones of Cat Crave on David Tepper in the war room. "He was an innocent bystander throughout a hugely important decision, placing full trust in Morgan and Tilis to make the right call." Jones also quoted Pat McAfee: "What I noticed though, at one point, they looked at (David) Tepper to get an answer, Tepper didn’t say sh*t. All anybody has said about Tepper is that he’s hands-on, hands-on, hands-on. Too handsy, too involved. He’s not letting the football people do their thing. We just watched in the biggest moment for their franchise, a top ten pick, he just sat there and let everybody do their jobs. I think if you’re a Panthers fan, you love everything you saw there." https://catcrave.com/silence-from-david-tepper-becomes-panthers-loudest-victory Granted, you're not getting a major headline here, but that's not going to happen anyway. Fowler isn't exactly a nobody, everybody knows McAfee, and you also have some locals that follow the team (including Dean Jones). Of course you have a right to believe that Tepper hasn't really changed, but to say there is no evidence that he just may be changing is not really true. It's just not. Hate the guy, but the way that he has handled this current regime is different than he handled previous teams, and his silence in the war room and publicly in general is different than years back.
