CMC is not a RB...he is a WR

CMC defenders have remarkably crafted a universe where he is both a rb and receiver, yet can’t be judged as one because he’s the other. 

Sure. There are things that aren’t going great. But at some point doesn’t cmc have to do.....something?

im getting a real armanti vibe from cmc, in the “this dude doesn’t belong” sense. 

Best you can do is YPT, like other receiving backs. His YPT is pretty terrible for the amount of catches he has.

it's really not.

Shula aside CMC has had plenty of opportunities to make people miss in space or show off his speed. He's done neither. 

CMC isn't faster than anyone, and i think today might have been the first player he made miss. 

He doesn't pass the eyeball test at all. 

He's now forced 17 missed tackles on run plays alone this season.

1.  He is a rookie

2.  Our OL isn't good at run blocking and our OC isn't very good

3.  We face 8-9 man boxes

so yeah.....he is a RB and a great receiving threat. 

This is like the Cam thing all over again.  The problem with our run game is CMC.  Just like the problem with our O isn't Cam.  People get hyper focused on the things that around the real issues.

It's just me but since he runs the best routes on the team and has great hands, I WOULD project him as a receiver in the NFL.

He's too light in the pants at the moment and could use some more weight to play NFL RB. If he's my best receiver on the field and weighs less than 230lbs he sounds like a WR to me.

Can he be a great NFL running back? IMO no. Can he be a great NFL receiver? IMHO? Yes. Punt returner/WR like Smitty.

I'd let Moton and Armah get reps, put CAP with Stew for now, get Cam and CMC working on smoke routes.

Sounds like the kind of player you spend a top ten pick on. 

Also lol he’s a rookie get fug out. Plenty of rookies out there having great seasons

When I got in the car last night, I caught the tail end of a conversation on Fox Sports Radio, talking about how fun it would be to see how Sean Payton would use McCaffrey. Basically saying our coaches didn't know how to use him properly. Everyone gets it but Rivera.

Kamara is a better runner, but you can watch him and kind of get the idea.

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
