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.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By LegioX · Posted

      Bryce has been in the NFL 3 years and still looks like a very mediocre QB. Most games are nothing but mediocre plays with a highlight reel every now and then.  He is a very INCONSISTENT QB and it’s very fustrating. He does not deserve a 5th year option, even though the Panthers and all the dumb asses in the front office will give it to him.

      If they lose the last three......

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      I’ve rarely ever been more sure of anything than losing out — but how can anyone say with a straight face “Bryce hasn’t improved, but Canales has and he’s masks his flaws”. You have to be so out of touch with reality to put one way above the other when discussing those two.

      Last night was the classic example of a visiting team just holding on through the wave of emotion a home team has at the start of a big time game. Bama’s first two kickoff returns really set them back as far as playcalling and allowed OU to dictate field position. The emotion of the home crowd fed into what OU was doing at that point, and it felt like Bama would not be able to overcome that.     Once the kickoff returner was told to fair catch every kick, the game shifted, as Bama wasn’t starting each drive inside their own 15. It was then that Bama was able to make some plays, outscoring OU 34-7 the rest of the way.  I think the last 3/4 of the game proves Bama was the better team. OU was just able to ride the initial wave of emotion to a big lead, but Bama held on just enough.  However, had OU blocked the punt on Bama’s second drive and scored a TD (vice a FG on the ensuing drive), things likely would have been different.  Anyway, Roll Tide!
