736 total yards from scrimmage , 956 total yards gained . 


Good? Bad? Obviously he's been blocking his ass off and taking attention away from other players, so its not all in the stats. But considering how badly the offense was stagnating for the 1st half of the season for the most part, he's done pretty solidly. And over the last 3 games, he is getting 5.6 yards per carry (In the same timespan : Jstew 3.6 yards per carry even with Miami game factored in). Against ATL and Jets, Stewart has averaged 1.8 Yards Per Carry and McCaffrey has averaged 5.8 yards per carry. I poo you not.

He hasn't produced many of the splash plays that I expected from him, but the guy is producing well for a rookie.

I have no idea why we haven't reduced Stew's role drastically. CMC and CAP should be seeing the majority of the action at RB IMO. Stew has had one good game all season long and that against a team that has utterly quit.

See Rivera, Ron.

It's trust. If you start on this team it's probably because the coaches trust you. Rookies usually have to earn trust and Stewart has been THE guy since Ron got here so it'll be very hard for Ron to trust a rookie over Stewart. That's all it is.

Lets say you have your very best friend you've known for a loooong time who has been through it all with you and they're going through a rough patch. Here comes a new person with the same interests but a different approach...would you up and dump your old friend right away? No.

This is what is going on. Ron trusts Stewie. The move will happen eventually but right now it wont.

It is hard to accurately place a value on having a guy like CMC that can get separation and is excellent at catching any catchable pass. I think we are lucky to have a guy like him on the team. Who did we go to on the 4th down play that we converted yesterday? CMC. The guy is so damn reliable of a pass catcher and to me that is tremendous value. I also think he has room to grow and improve his overall game. I am very thankful to have him on our team.

Still waiting for us to ride him in the run game. We need to actually give him the opportunity to develop between the tackles and let that aspect of the NFL slow down for him like it did for Le'Veon Bell who has a similar skillset and is dominating. McC has the speed, shiftiness and agility to go along with patience and vision to have success between the tackles AND outside the tackles, despite his size and lack of breaking tackles (though he has been better at that lately, with multiple broken tackles the past 3 games). Just need to let him get in a rhythm so he can be a threat as a runner and receiver. Right now not a single team views him as a threat as a runner, they are preparing for him as a receiver which makes it easier for the defense. If we could line him up in the backfield every play with the opposing defense having to prepare for him as a runner AND receiver it would tremendously improve our offense. And frankly he's a better runner than Stew right now and deserves the carries.

This is what happens when you run a business like a social circle, and goes a long way in explaining why this franchise has never had back-to-back winning seasons.

    • 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
