stop saying you're watching tape

watching tape means you're in a room with scouts and former players watching the all 22 footage constantly going back and forth, analyzing each position

you're slacking off at work and watching youtube videos set to drake songs

LMMMMMMMMMMMAAAAOOOOOOO

I know a ton of people have compared him to Woodhead, Sproles, Dion lewis, etc. However, when I looked through everything, something had caught my eye about him, something that felt extremely similar to someone who had come out a couple of years ago. After I finished my tape session of McCaffrey, I popped on some Michigan state tape from a couple of years back, and one or two Pittsburgh games from last year, McCaffrey reminds me so much of Lev Bell (Mostly from his recent years in Pittsburgh given his increased speed and lighter frame). You watch some of the Stanford games, the patience, receiving, and cutting ability of Christian is incredibly comparable to Bell, it kind of sticks out. So if you were hesitant about the pick still, which I know some people are, I would ask you to watch some games of Lev Bell and compare it to the Stanford tape of this year, you might be surprised by our new running back.
 

I have been watching tape on McCaffery all weekend and I absolutely agree with this 100%. The difference of course is the size with McCaffery been smaller in height  and weight in comparison with Bell. McCaffery doesn't finish runs like Bell but he has the break away speed and the receiving ability to be dynamic just like Bell. They are very close to being the same player with McCaffery been a much better athlete.

Did You watch a Youtube video? Or coaches tape? For some reason people are calling youtube videos "tape" now, just curious.

It's youtube videos of games, not highlights :P 
It's a little harder because you don't see the whole field, but you get the general idea.

Lol, nah man. There are videos out there of full games that highlight individual players, and shows you every snap from different angles. I also have game pass which allows you to see the field from every angle. So no, I'm not a professional scout or anything, but I do make notes, and write articles every now and then, it's a hobby man, chill out.

No poo, man.  You did good work.

Ignore the pendants!  ;)

I've never understood this comparison. He's a patient runner, who can press the back of his oline and wait for a lane, but the body types aren't even remotely comparable. Body wise, he's Reggie Bush. He's less explosive, with better vision.


You don't watch tape do you?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Watching those throws Drake Maye was making on a dead run threading lasers into tight coverage on the sidelines over and over in that game against the Bills... these people need to go watch that and be honest with themselves.

      why rig the scenario with the "as a passer" tag.   I mean, I assume you do that because Bryce needs help in the argument.  If we are just talking players and no contacts?   I mean, give me Young over Russell Wilson.   That's it.   I'd put him on par w/ Penix, Fields, McCarthy and Rattler,  so that's a wash.  Give me everyone else over Bryce.  And I'm not handicapping the other players as passing only because when you start doing that it's really meaningless.

      McCarthy to date, for sure. That's a very early sample size, however. Russell Wilson is a backup. Not sure Wilson wouldn't be better suited to our offense specifically, but at the bare minimum it's basically a wash. Hurts I would generally disagree with. I do think Hurts is likely to be less than stellar in our offense. Justin Fields - Agree. Fields is a significant threat on the ground but he sees the field as badly or worse than Bryce. And that's with significantly more reps. Spencer Rattler - I honestly thought this would be an easier call that it is. TBH, right now Rattler looks a lot better. Really almost across the board. Kyler - Murray is better. Basically across the board. Not significantly better, mind you. Trevor Lawrence is more debatable than it seems. Low completion percentages, tons of TO's.....he really has been quite bad this year in Jax. He is considerably more talented than Bryce but the results have been marginally better. Tua - Tua is a little more dynamic of a player but he is a TO machine. Tend to agree. Caleb Williams. Not sure on this. Williams is still struggling to be consistent but his upper end is WAY higher than Bryce. He shows it fairlu frequently, as well. Probably would rather be working through Caleb's issues than Bryce. Penix - 100%. This guy stinks. Cam Ward. This is a little tough. Again, far higher ceiling on Ward and he shows flashes but it's been a mess there in Tenn. Probably lean towards Bryce here.
