RB Christian McCaffrey Takes No Days Off

Recommended Posts

If there ever was a Luke Kuechly of the offense, Christian McCaffrey would have to be it.

On his day off, CMC could've spent the day relaxing and doing whatever. However, he chose to instead turn his day off into a day of study. 

This kid loves football and yearns to get better. Christian McCaffrey is going to revolutionize this offense to a whole new level.

Honestly, I think he's obsessive compulsive about working out and preparing like Jerry Rice was. I don't know how good that is for him in the long run, but it's awesome for the Panthers and us fans. Hopefully, some of it will rub off on Samuel too. That's not to say that Samuel is lazy or anything. It's just that it's extremely rare for a player as young as CMC or Samuel to be this fanatical about preparation.

I think he is going to be a great player but considering he is a rookie and missed the OTAs, he should be doing this no questions asked.

Seriously dude? This kid already has the playbook down pat, as far as I can tell. How many rookies have you seen come in here and play 4-5 different positions without missing a beat?

I'm not taking anything away from him, the kid is going to be good.

 

Your first week of work at a new job, are you taking a day off as the new guy? Nope.

It's early, I will admit, but like I was trying to explain to @GoobyPls during draft season, there were many people who believed that this guy was a top two back. Character means something. The fact that he has a true pedigree is priceless. He has been wired from a child to be this way. His father was as solid as rock. McCaffrey has football professionalism in his blood.

Yes. I would take the same days off that everybody else has. We're not even talking about a work day here.

I think I overlooked this during the pre-draft process when I was vehemently against drafting McC at 8. Excited as hell now.

    • Me and you clearly have different definitions of production. If you remove the 2023 season where Thielen had just over 1k yards he is 43rd on our all time receivers list just ahead of Jonathan Mingo. And before you ask why would we remove that season? Well a couple reasons. For one thing we won a whopping 2 games. And for the biggest. Thielen was 14th in targets in 2023. We absolutely force fed him the ball all season and finished with the 32nd passing offense. For comparison sake 33 year old Jerricho Cotchery eclipsed over 1k total yards in just 2 more games and with 67 less targets than Thielen did in that 2023 season. He has above average hands. That's it. We overpaid him because we were desperate and overvalued him. That's the reality no matter how many times you or anyone else wants to quote me and get defensive about it.
    • He's played great and it was a win-win (rare free agent) for both parties.  One of the points is he hasn't made enough difference to "waste" 35 million on. Another point is by the time Panthers are hitting their prime, he would have taken snaps away from young WRs/TEs/RBs. "Thus" in the long term, hurting the teams new future "window."  But I dare think of the monkey poo of a offense the Panthers had without him the past 2 years. Lack of talent leads to many problems, including paying a 35 year old to be somewhat respectable. Hes one of few that cared enough and made a effort. Plus you know he's done great stuff in many other ways for the team, community juggernaut, leadership, etc.  Judgement is for AT and his 3 year panther career!!
    • But it has gotten a little wacky. RBs-https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/contracts/_/position/rb     A couple months ago iggles made Bark the highest guaranteed RB, jeanty was until then. That's what matters the guarantee. A rookie never played a down was the leader, until iggles howie made things right.  If a safety gets drafted in the top 8 or so, he would have the highest money too or very close to it.    Add in TEs and C too.    Even with the fixed %, the numbers are getting too much for a player that's not proven themselves.     Plus anytime a QB is drafted it screws up the contracts for players around and if next year a punter gets drafted at the same 90th spot, they want the same contract with the 5.7% increase. Teams would be laughing.    Its just reached this point. Another 10 years and I bet the vets will be crying.
