I bet McCaffrey has the better season overall, but I don't think he'll be OROTY. 12 - 16 touches a game

Dude, it's more than inconsistent. If he weren't such a fumbler and had more vision, he easily would have been a first round pick. He's very similar to Jamaal Charles. In space, the guy is a killer but outside that... awful decision making.

Review my statement. I said White made the bigger impact - he did. Bush had an injury plagued career. Yes, he had more all purpose yards but he wasn't featured consistently and watched from the sidelines as New Orleans won a Superbowl.

I'm not gonna keep going back and forth about Kamara lol. My Kamara>CMC post was trolling anyway. I'm very high om what he can do in this offense, given his skillset, however. 

Repeating your statement doesn't make it less outlandish. How does one impact a game other than yards and TDs? For being bigger and stronger, White didn't even have a better YPC. He had 2 decent seasons. That's it. Reggie more than doubled his TDs. Reggie was instrumental in winning our SB. He destroyed the Cardinals and had 325 yards from scrimmage and 3 TDs during the playoffs.

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.  

I think the team would be happy with those numbers.

To put it in perspective Marshall Faulk averaged 70 and 40 for his career.

With that being said Fournette might end up as the better traditional running back but he was actually drafted 4th and we picked 8th.  Throughout the draft process people on this board were focused on Fournette vs Adams vs Thomas and some of were convinced that our pick would come from the next tier of players.  

If you want to compare CMC to the other options we really had you would be better off looking at players such as Cook, Ross, or Howard.

Well if you're soely looking at rushing stats and Stewart stays healthy and somewhat productive for most of the year , then maybe Fournette. But if your taking total yards gained then it'll be McCaffrey be a mile assuming he gets decent playing time and Cam actually uses him as a the primary check down option he could end up racking up quite a lot of receiving yards. And we already saw from the last game McCaffrey is just deadly with screens or any scheme that has downfield blocking . 

In the best situation for the team though, McCaffrey may have somewhat decent stats (maybe about 500 rush, 500 receiving, 300 total PR/KR) , but he will take so much attention from he defense either Kelvin or Olsen will be the one that actually ends up having the monster season.  My money's going on Kelvin.

If those are his averages, I wont be pissed. 

 

Thats 1680 yards per season. Also throw in his break away touchdowns, say 10-12 a year. 

Pretty nasty numbers, imho.

Also you are basing your projections on him not being an every down back, which I believe he can be. I bet he forces you to eat poo, and admit he is nasty.
