LaDainian Tomlinson

Carolina's rookie running back breaks out
Christian McCaffrey establishes himself as one of the best dual-threats in the league against the Bills after recording 100 rushing yards and 100 receiving yards.

 

 
You think this is the week McCaffrey breaks out? I think he will have a good game, but I'm not sure if he hits 100 for both.

Receiving 100 yards is not too far-fetched against those linebackers. Rushing is where he may have a tough time with that front four.

Either way, he'll be much more of a factor in production compared to his stint against the 49ers.

Nah, man, one good run will eat that up. Hand-off to the right, BOOM, 78 yard TD.

I would love this to be true. I could see him approaching 100 yards receiving alone. The Bills linebackers are liabilities. This is especially true in pass coverage. It will be interesting to see how Mcdermitt adapts to that reality. If the safeties start cheating up it could open things up down field. The Bills will have to pick their poison. However, the antidote to that poison is inaccuracy and this is clearly Cam's weakness even in the best of times.

Predicting 200 total yards offense is pretty bold.  I don't think it is out of the realm of possibility but pretty bold.

I will say that their stout front four is not going to win all battles against our OL.  I think our OL rush offense is not to shabby and should win their fair share of battles.  I imagine if we can get CMC through those lines a couple times him might make some great moves and run for 25 or 30 yds.  Might give him a chance.   It only takes one great hole and he could be gone.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
