Well at least McCaffrey has this going for him.. the most successful white RB in recent memory (Ex. Payton Hillis, Mike Alstott ) And even famous ones from yesteryear (Czonka, Riggins) were all damn power backs. So if McCaffrey will be a shifty fast one instead .. that makes him even more unique of a player. yeah i sound like one of those ignorant youtube commenters, but you get what I'm trying to say.

He'll improve with training and technique work.  But at best, he'll still probably only be a cut block/get in your way blocker.  However, as an announcer said during a Stanford game "why would you keep a weapon such as McCaffrey in to block? You want him out there as a threat making plays."  That would be like using your brand new Lamborghini to pull your camper on vacation.  

Sure, there will be times he needs to stay in to block, but probably 90-95% of the time he is in the game he'll be used as a weapon or diversion.

Today was the first day to observe Christian McCaffrey in pass protection drills. Lined up 1 on 1 versus a Linebacker of safey, CMC's job was to keep them away from the "quarterback". 

 

He didn't do so well against the linebackers. Out muscled my Mayo and just out played by Cash.

McCaffrey did far better against the safety McCray, someone more his size.

This is a starting point for McCaffrey. The goal will not be to improve on this as camp continues on into the preseason. He won't reach his full potential as far as playing time until the coaching staff is confident in his pass blocking.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
