What Exactly Happened to our Vaunted Rushing Attack?

We are currently sitting in the bottom half of the league in rushing yards per game , Stewart is averaging  a paltry 3.3 YPC  on the season , and McCaffrey at a horrendous 2.8 YPC.  Jonathan Stewart literally averaged 1.2 yards per carry on 18 attempts against the Lions, that is god aweful. We're blessed our passing game has been flourishing recently. 

To give Stew credit he averaged close to 5 YPC against the Saints, Patriots . However , McCaffrey is consistently getting terrible turnouts with his rushing averages , but I guess I can chalk most of that off to him not getting into a rythm and getting so few carries (only 3 carries against the Lions ...). 

So what is going on here? Is it the run blocking? play calling? Stew getting old or McCaffrey unable to break tackles?

Another thing in common with the 2015 season.  Teams didn't think Cam could beat them in air...so they stacked the line for the first several weeks, as Cam shredded defenses.  Halfway through the season teams started playing off, respecting Newton's arm.  The result?  One of the best 8 game spans J-Stew ever had. 

Through 5 weeks it seems every opponent has 7 or 8 in the box against us.  I expect that to change if Cam keeps playing this well.  The running lanes will then open up.

      Ohio State no. 8 won it all last year.  No. 6 Penn State and no. 7 Notre Dame advanced to the semi-final. This year no. 7 Ole Miss is going to win it all.

      agreed.  Lack of games/opportunity makes him a non-factor in OROTY talk.  He is just now getting the stage where there is legit film on him.  Takes awhile to really see how guys react to all the different scenarios and to find the real weak spots on a QB's play in an O.

      Oh boy how the tables have turned...the passion and extent at which you defend Shough would make even the staunchest Bryce fanboys blush.  The bold part is especially straight from their playbook.  Even if someone here were to withhold giving Shough props, it's pretty understandable as a Panthers fan.  What's quite odd is becoming the biggest stan of our most hated rival's starting QB.  I don't think even Saints fans drool over him this hard. For the record I think this talk about "stans" and "fanboys" is cringe AF and I'm admittedly being rather hyperbolic because this is exactly the kind of discourse and language you personally love to engage in and it's fun to play in the mud from time to time.  There is absolutely no world where you do not meet your own criteria of a "Super Stan" for Shough with how loosely you apply that label to people for Bryce in here.  You're like the Final Boss of Super Stans.
