What to make of Cameron Artis-Payne


Jeremy Igo

Recommended Posts

Looks like the topic of Cameron Artis-Payne came up in the roster thread. I feel like it deserves an objective look in its own thread. 

Here is what Cameron Artis-Payne did in 2016. 

Week 3 - 12 attempts - 47 yards

Week 4 - 6 attempts - 12 yards

Week 5 - 18 attempts - 85 yards

The rest of the weeks he was inactive.

He was only ever active when Jonathan Stewart was inactive. 

He was inactive when Stewart was not 100%. 

So, does averaging 12 attempts when Stewart is out mean that CAP is the clear cut starter behind Stewart? 

Do you think CAP should be considered a lock to make the team this year?

He wasn't clear cut starter behind Stew even before McC.

How many of those yards were accumulated by recovering his own fumbles?

Kidding, of course, but when I hear CAP, I think "ball security" not "4 yards per carry".

He has fumbled one single time.

I don't think he's a lock. However if Fozzie is expendable then of the current guys I suppose he makes it.

At this point, who knows? It seems like Fozzy is a coach favorite, so that doesn't bode well for CAP. The only way that I see him making the roster is if he can play himself on to it, but I don't believe that Rivera actually lets true competition rule the day. 

I think that blocking will play a part.

At worse, PS. At best, inactive.

He has that reputation, deserved or not, based on a fumble in the preseason--.  He has had ZERO fumbles in the regular season, but has played in only 10 games.

I was joking, of course, but I am not sure the sarcasm came through.  He averages 4 yards per carry on limited carries.  That is what we should be focused on.. 

And I agree with you--what is it that Fozzy gives us that McCaffrey does not?  What is it that he offers us that Samuel could not move to the backfield and give us?  Who is Stewart's backup?

I really can't say that Stew's legit backup or heir apparent is on the roster. 

CAP seems to be just a guy---the default, safe option if calamity strikes. 

That's typically what backups are

Is there any reason not to think CMC could be a better between the tackles runner than CAP?

There is every reason to believe it from watching video. CMC has markedly greater vision, quickness, patience, and a mean jump-cut that may get him to the open hole and ultimately in open space a lot faster.

I think he could be but if they build an offense that relies on having both (stewart and Mccaffery) on the field it  could be in CAPs favour.

Reason I think he will be is
CMC came out of a system that was a between the tackles runner. A large % of his carries were between the tackles. Kid has some of the best vision for a RB I have seen come out in a while.

CAP came out of a spread system where you rarely have to block. A large chunk of your runs are off zone reads etc. Just avg speed and quickness. Lacks the vision and patients finding the hole.

My question is are we just going ahead and pushing off CAP and assume Fozzy is going to be the one we keep? Fizzy has looked better the last 2 seasons. CAP is more physical. With CMC how many APY RBs are we going to keep. Maybe this is the year CAP shows he is actually worth a spot. Maybe he finally gets past that learning curve coming out of one of those spread systems he has been way behind coming in, in terms of blocking and watching/reading your blocks

    • 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. 
    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…
