The difference between Kamara and McCaffery?

Is McCaffery a bad football player? No he’s pretty solid. His hands are the best I have ever seen out of the backfield. He is probably a better receiver(route runner) than Kamara as well. But Kamara is clearly the better running back. I brought this up not to bash Christian, but to illustrate why we will probably still have a need at running back this offseason. 

The difference between the two and what in my opinion makes Kamara better? Balance on contact. I’m sure Christian checked all the boxes at the combine and timed better but Kamara has something that can’t be measured in shorts. Break tackle and second effort yardage. Once you get to Kamara that’s only part of the battle there seems to be a good chance he isn’t going down.

Christian just doesn’t have that in him for whatever reason. You can’t be an every down back without it. You can’t make a living between the tackles without it. I just don’t see us not drafting another one this offseason.

Both are works of art but one team uses water colors while the other uses broken crayons 

It’s more than that... It’s not so much how they are used but what they do once the ball is in their hands... Kamara makes more between the tackles and in the open field.. take that touchdown early in the game for example when I believe it was Shaq that poped him but he still powered into the end zone for example. That isn’t something Christian can do.

Different styles. Kamara is a bit shorter stockier closer to a bowling ball while christian can probably speed thru a lane a bit faster. Both great in their own way. I think cmc can run effectively 12 to 15 times a game especially with a lead back. He can break the odd long one.

I don’t think they are 2 different styles seeing how they are both used the same way. Also they both are used as the change of pace back and have similar rushing and receiving stats. Kamara is 5’10 McCaffery is 5’11. About a 10 pound difference in weight.

Lol no Shula uses CMC as another Fozzy Whittaker while Sean Peyton uses Kamara the way CMC only dreams he could be used.

At the risk of being a prisoner of the moment, Kamara looks like the best back in the NFL to me.  He has a perfect combination of size, speed, power, and runs like a madman. 

I love CMC but Kamara is a better RB.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      Jalen Carter came into camp out of shape too. That was part of the reason he dropped considering he was thought of as the better defensive player pre-draft activities. It’s not a good sign when you don’t look great but it’s definitely premature.

      We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
