They will continue to do what they have all season unless stew gets injured or has problem with ball security multiple times a game (i.e. Falcons game)

Its frustrating to watch them continue to keep their head in the sand and not feed the hot hand. McCaffrey ended the day with over 8 yards a carry and they only gave Cap 1 chance to run while stewart is either getting stoned at the line or running for very minimal gains. He has no elusiveness left and not much speed. He can hit obvious big holes as was shown in the Miami game but he can't create jack poo on his own and thats a problem with a below average run blocking oline like ours.  

I call bullshit that McCaffreys not an every down back. He's gotten 15 carries only once in the whole season and other dudes that put the team on their back running get 20 or 25 on a very regular basis. Running back by committee is killing both his and stewarts rythm.

True, you just wouldn't want to bang him up / tire him out and diminish his relative effectiveness in the passing game, though. 

Well smaller guys like Faulk and Westbrook  could run And catch with multiple touches. Cmc is a grown man.

Why do people keep bringing this up without mentioning the fact that the majority of the carries were clock killing carries.  Almost any back is going to suffer when you are running and the opposing defense knows you are running.  This was almost the entire 4th quarter for Stew.

     Come on. Would 15 carries really be to much? I mean, we are not talking about 30 carries. I am sure CmC can handle the increased roll. Hellz, it should be something we need to do. Find out if he can do it. Or not?

    • I consider last year Bryce's rookie year.....and I expect some regression/D adjustment in his second season in Canales' O.  Film is film.   So yeah, I agree....he won't be the dude that opened up the year week 1 or closed the door week 17.  We will get some dude in between it all most likely.  Which IMO puts us in a really awkward no man's land with Bryce.   
    • The question is which Bryce shows up game 1. Do we get week 2 (2024) Bryce, or week 18 (2024) Bryce?  I will say that his progression after the benching last year was amazing. He literally got better every game - sans Dallas. Like every week he did something we hadn't seen him do before. And it wasn't luck, toss it up for grabs plays like Penix did against Carolina. Penix was just throwing the ball as hard as he could in the direction of a receiver and hoping they'd make a play for him. What we saw from Bryce was different. Decision making, reading defenses, recognizing blitzes and where they were coming from, knowing his hot, avoiding pressure and manipulating the pocket, throwing with anticipation, taking shots downfield, and running the ball surprisingly well. Stats don't always tell the story. Did he miss some throws that he should have made - sure did. But the clutch gene is strong with this one. One score game and Carolina has the ball with 2 minutes on the clock - I'm confident he'll give them a chance to win more than he doesn't. 
    • I really like David Moore. He's a reliable WR. Smart, doesn't drop the ball and he's where he's supposed to be. Now, he ain't gonna route up a DB. He ain't gonna 50/50 ball a DB. He ain't gonna run by a DB either. But he runs a good enough route and catches the ball - definitely an NFL average WR. Every team could use a David Moore. Now if this receiving group can force Dan and Dave to let him go, then this team has come a long way since 2023. A LONG way. But I will say that Horn's speed is a big deal. They don't really have another guy with speed and quickness to blow the top off the defense and make guys miss in space after the catch, though he is still a rookie and hasn't done it in the NFL. If he and Renfrow push Moore out, then we might actually have something gents. Plus I see Renfrow as Thielen's replacement in 2026. I just don't think Coker is the reliable, move the chains guy like Thielen. Could be wrong.
