RB Christian McCaffrey's Run During Training Camp

Christian McCaffrey is on another world.

At first, I merely assumed Luke or TD could've lit him up had this been a contact drill. However, the closer I look at this footage, the more it reminds me of the way he juked LBs in college like they were nothing.

Those little quick cuts, how fast he drops his weight and just bursts through holes and cuts right through traffic. I can't wait to see him go hard this year.

I think what's so cool about that clip is how much Luke is on a different level than the other LB's.  Luke is sprinting to where he knows the play is going, like he was in the huddle.  TD and Shaq are playing much more reactionary as they are digesting the play as it unfolds.  Not going to speculate on if they would have made the tackle or not, given there are no pads and even real blocking, but Luke analyzing a play is just down right amazing.

    • That can be a chicken or the egg scenario. Canales knows what the QB is good at and is not good at better than we do.  He would have reasons for not calling deep shots, if he is holding back. They could include protection concerns, as well as any Young related motivations.  I think there always the chance Bryce doesn’t see the man open down the field and it is just that simple, more than a confidence issue. Probably a mix of the two.   
    • This is a partially bad take.  Willis is the only guy mentioned here that can reasonably be expected to perform at a level higher than Bryce.  Winston and Minshew is washed, and Howell was not good in Washington as a starter and didn’t field a single snap this past year. I swear the only reason people are obsessed over him is that he went to UNC.  You’re not going to have better success, or even potential for success with those guys as your QB as you would with Bryce. Now, if you want to argue this thing from a production per dollars perspective, that it’d be better to roll with one of them instead because we could allocate the savings elsewhere on the roster, that’d be a better argument IMO. I’d disagree with it; relying on a QB making less they $5MM/year that isn’t on a rookie contract is not a winning strategy.  But I could see the argument that it’s possibly a viable alternative to Bryce on a $25MM/year contract.    But no, none of those QBs are better than Bryce. 
    • No team hits on every pick.  Every coach and GM will eventually get fired.   We are a better team and have greatly increased the talent on the roster. Bad GMs lead to losses.   I love the teams current setup in the front office and the process in how we look at talent and coaching.  Canales has often said we want to have a player developmental philosophy as a core tenant.  I love that combined with cutting edge analytics and good football knowledge and experience.
