That's funny he said the player it all started with in terms patterning his running style and versatility was Marshall Faulk. I've said in multple threads before thats a player he has the potential of becoming like if he really maximzes his potential. 

There really isn't another RB you can think of that was mostly elusiuve/speed guy but had the insane footwork / patience , and is a great WR as well (I'm looking at Faulk's 1999 season when he had 1000+Rush and Recieving yards in particular) . 
Also Add in the fact that Faulk was only an inch shorter than McCaffrey and didn't weigh that much either/ was never an extra imposing physical specimen outside his pads (Hell looking back at Faulk's late college pictures he looks way skinnier than McCaffrey) , but was just a gamer.

I listened to that.  Very interesting, and exciting.  He does have the attitude to be successful, and he knows how to take care of his body.  

Needless to say, I think he's going to do a great job for us this season!

Been saying that around here for months now.

Faulk was taken 2nd overall....as a small running back....in a much different league.  It's not all that hard to imagine why CmC was so highly regarded....also why I think he would have been the pick for us even with LF on the board.

Yeah I watched Faulk's A Football Life documentary and its crazy how many times he was told he was too small to play RB in college and again before he got on an NFL field. 

There was a lot of old tape of his highschool and college days , knowing that marshall was known mostly for his great vision/elusiveness/smarts, by fuging god he was a speed demon. Same with McCaffrey. 

Part of the legend is that Faulk just exploded for 143 rush yards and 3 TDs in his first pro game, people just knew he was going to be good immediately. I'm just really looking forward to the San Fran game. I'm not sure McCaffrey's stats will be all the great even if he's good, since Stewarts going to be here for at least another couple seasons. I'm still curious how they're going to split the RB time.

Just ran across this on youtube about McCaffrey. In case it hasn't been posted so far:

 

 

Def been posted before I've watched it multiple times, but cool nonetheless for people who haven't seen it 

- Faster 10 yard run than Antonio brown

- Stride rate per sec, much faster than John Ross 

- Able to change his direction faster than a normal human can react to it 

Sounds like the ultimate weapon to me if he's good. All he's missing is power to churn out short yardage and goal line, not sure if he NEEDS it but it would make him a little more complete . If not we'll probably still need to get a power back in 2 years unless we just use Armah for that role.

I like him. 

Biggest thing I took from the interview was how Eisen stated that Faulk would know what everyone was supposed to do on the field. Mccaffery said eventually he'd be like that as well, and that really stuck out to me in a good way. I believe Bersin is like that now, and that's probably one of the reasons he keeps finding himself on the 53. 

Great little interview

A bit surprised how Rich grilled him on not playing in the bowl game/no private workouts/would he have played if it was National Championship game. Christian answered all those questions beautifully. It reminded me of Greg Olsen and how intelligent and well spoken he is.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      The question I wonder involves putting the cost behind us.      At this point he's here, so does the premium paid even matter anymore? It set expectations no doubt, and they weren't met.  He's been bench-worthy bad, but he's come back and looked first average, above-average to maybe great, and then downright bad again.  Now we're back on a good trend again.  Absolute rollercoaster.   So what level of performance deems him a viable option to hold?  He's looked absolutely incapable of moving an offense at times, and others like a guy you can "Purdy" with some dimes sprinkled in.     So, if he continues on this 2 game trend and shows consistent average to above-average play, we're treading into tricky territory.  Such a big investment but he tops out as a top-15/20 QB option.  It's Alex Smith KC type vibes. Are we going to be sitting at 7-10 come end of season and feel kind of meh? It's right at that fringe of what is worth it.  If he doesn't re-sh*t the bed, we may be best suited to go BPA next draft and see the 2026 progression.  And that will be the final make/break year.  What I can see if he doesn't fall apart and things look manageable: He may end up being the average precursor to finding the great talent that you can build the team around.  How Alex Smith was in KC.  They built that with him (not around him) until they eventually got Mahomes.  Heck, think back to Trent Green/Warner.  So, BY can manage, we may get some success, but if a stud comes along, we bail and roll with the new gun.

      We win 2 games largely due to historic rushing from our backup RB we signed in free agency and now the huddle is regarded as the most toxic place on the internet because not everyone shares the same opinion that Bryce Young has proven himself to actually be a long term starting QB yet. This place was just as ugly through the prime Cam years. People complained about him even when he was producing and we were winning the division. Things were just as ugly through the Jake years. Sometimes people would get so irate and fed up with him they would literally be calling for his head. How about we just give eviscerating one another a breather and see how this team and Bryce look on the road. Nothing anyone can say is going to make a difference until then.
