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.

    • He’s kind of overrated to be honest. Never really felt like a true #1 or elevated his play to become a guy the defense really has to worry about. 
    • I'm going to be real, the reason that vote ended up so lop-sided by the end was directly due to my programming. So there's nothing tongue in cheek about it. Also I left PFF after the Collinsworth acquisition (didn't want to move to Cincy) but have stayed involved in analytics via backdoor channels, but I can absolutely say that the experience was eye-opening, not because those guys are unquestionable football savants and that I became one by proxy, but because the amount of information that becomes available outside of what the typical fan has access to is revelatory and also really drives home how much context is still being missed even with all of that information. You don't discover that you know everything, you discover how much you still can't know no matter how hard you try, hence my point about the NFL not being able to figure out what makes a QB good. There's a lot of AI work going into that now and even that only seems to further confuse things vs. actually enlighten the problem. In the professional realm teams don't really talk about quarterbacks as A strictly being better than B, but how A can potentially perform better than B given a specific context of C. Of course those contexts may be wider for A than B, but there's also contexts where B can outshine A, even with lesser talent surrounding them. So what good teams strive to do is ultimately define a process of how they want their entire team to operate under schematically, find players that fit that scheme, and hopefully find a guy whose skillset will be maximized running that scheme with those players. Where bad teams fall of the wagon is constantly shifting those schemes and chasing bad fits or fads vs. sticking with a core identity and developing it.
