For me, this was the most important run last night for McCaffrey. The one that makes me the most optimistic about his season. 

We have seen this play for years. We have seen it run for a loss the majority of the time, and that is not an overstatement. 

CMC manages to gain 3 yards. Straight ahead running. Zero dancing. Get in there and take what you can.

I see you young man. Go get it

Why did Kalil double down on the end allowing the backer and DB to come free? Was that intentional with the play going to the right? 

It was probably by design. He 100% definitely wouldn't need to worry about the DB, who is irrelevant in the play from the Panthers perspective. It was just a well timed blitz from the Jags.

The run that stood out most to me for the same reason as this one was one where the line crashed and the initial hole closed, CMC hopped to the outside and cut through the tiniest of sliver for a 3-5 yard gain when it was destined for a loss.  He is special.

That's the one I was thinking of. The speed that he made the cut with was just unnatural!

I was watching the game with a few folks who kept saying, "He's too small" "won't be durable" "can't run between the tackles" - a lot of stuff like that. seeing this run made them start doubting the bullishhhh they were spewing. Made my damn night.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      So answer the question. Why did Chark and Hurst have the same metrics (go look them up, I did... and one was actually worse in LA) with Justin Herbert? Why did Mingo have the same metrics with Dak? You're right, there is a common denominator, just not the one you're trying to make.  Why could DJ Moore get open with Bridgewater, Allen, Cam 2.0, Darnold, Baker, Williams, Bagent? I'll answer the question for you - because he is a good WR unlike Chark/Hurst/Mingo.

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.
