Do you want Christian McCaffrey returning punts?

[Jeremy Igo]

Pros: Could gain some field advantage, but then again so could Byrd. 

Cons: Injury, bye bye "evolved" offense

 

Is it worth it? What say you?

Meh injuries happen everywhere.

It's worth it to get the ball into his hands any way possible.

Personally, I don't believe its worth the risk.  we have other guys who can afford the "risk" that can benefit our special teams. Samuel, Byrd, Fozzy, etc.

Not saying i won't anyone to get hurt... through that in there for the sensitive.

[TheSpecialJuan]

If it was up to me I wouldn't even want him out of the football field. he could get hurt. 

[stankowalski]

Nope.  Put Byrd back there.  No need to risk injury to a player that is supposed to be what will make this offense really good this year.

We did it with Smith(at least his first few years) why not CMC?

[LinvilleGorge]

Yes. I want the ball in the hands of dynamic playmakers as much as possible. 

[pantherclaw]

Pretty sure he's the best option to put back there. 

Football is a contact sport.

Embrace it.

[KillerKat]

No. It should be Byrd. Punt returning is not one of CMC's areas of specialties. We also had our hearts skip a beat the last time he did it. I don't want him getting hurt out there. I'd rather him make all his contributions on offense.

[tres]

Absolutely. He's a playmaker. Let him make plays. 

[Joe the Show]

He will force teams to use directional punting to contain him, which could lead to kicks out of bounds and better field position without him even touching the ball.  Yes he should be back there.

[Nails]

Of course he should.  The enemy does not want him out there, therefore I do.

Shouldn't be a debate.  We didn't draft the kid 8 overall to be a backup RB only.

Smith wasn't a top 10 pick. 

He did it until he was too valuable to have him back there. 

Is CMC already too valuable?
