Better rookie season for Christian McCaffrey or Leonard Fournette?

saw this article on the Panthers ESPN page . I know we are a bunched of biased Panther fans but what do you think?

It's kinda hard to predict for me, but Fournette is already not looking so great with an early injury to the same foot that he had problems with this past college season , and I  saw no elusiveness whatsoever in the very limited pre season action in his game 1 against the Patriots. His power looked good, but I think constantly trying to truck NFL linebackers and Dlineman is going to wear him down pretty quick.

Fournette's going to get alot more carries probably but Christian may be getting more touches overall. I think its because CMC has a more diverse skill set and will impact our game from a multitude of positions (RB, Slot WR, WR, KR/PR) . I don't know if McCaffrey is going to have that impressive of an overall stat sheet if Stewart still gets most of the carries though. Its hard to predict exactly how much work he's going to see as a RB as long as Stewart is healthy.

More complete back is Fournette. Better season stat wise will probably be CMC since he will be on special teams and play WR too. Fournette also does not have a QB so he will see 8 men in the box way more than CMC will. Fournette will have more rushing yards and red zone TDs that is about it. CMC will have more total yards.

CMC. 

For some of the reasons you hit on...especially Fournette and that foot and his style of play...plus the Jags have 0 threat at the quarterback position so they're pretty one dimensional in that aspect.

Plus, CMC is going to set the NFL on fire this season so buckle up fellas.

CMC will probably avg 65 yards rushing and 40 yards receiving. He will not win rookie of the year. He probably won't even make a single probowl in his career. He is not better than reggie bush and has lower ceiling than Bush talent wise.  

And now we unleash the poop

He hasn't looked impressive to you at all?

      Jabrill Peppers Available

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.

      Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
