That schematic confusion is where McCaffrey provides real value. Carolina has used McCaffrey as a Swiss army knife in its offense all year, with offensive coordinator Mike Shula deploying him as a ball carrier, as a pass-catching threat out of the backfield, and as a de facto receiver in the slot and on the outside. Through 14 weeks, the former Stanford star is second among running backs in receptions (73) and has scored five touchdowns through the air. While he hasn’t exactly taken the league by storm as a between-the-tackles runner (just 102 carries at 3.7 yards per attempt and two scores), he’s crucial to the Panthers’ offense because teams never know how to approach defending him. Is he a receiver? A running back? Do you send a cornerback out to match up with him, or a safety, or a linebacker? There’s no simple answer to that, and the wide variety of ways in which he’s deployed in Carolina’s scheme makes it damn hard to guess how he’s going to beat you on any given play. We saw that on Sunday when Matthews guessed wrong, and we’re going to see plenty more of it for the Panthers down the stretch.

 

There obviously more to read and gifs in the article.

a kamara type year would've been fun but he's coming along nicely. hopefully his open field instincts can improve with good coaching.

he should dominate next year

Yeah, you never can tell though.  


Eddie Lacy won ROY when Le'veon Bell was a rookie.

A Saints type offense would be nice too :(

We're 10-4 and playing really well.  We're going to get a new owner and that almost guarantees a new GM.  And most important of all, the big uglies are playing well.

Come on, man.  You're a lot of fun to follow when you're optimistic.  Where is that guy, anyway? :)

He's waiting for new ownership.

      Moton Meets the Press

      By TD alt · Posted

      One thing about it, he's not thinking about retiring. I found it odd that some Huddlers were taking rumors and running with them, imagining a slow down and "up-playing" injuries. Moton feels great and is still in his prime according to him, and his game is still indicative of his thoughts.  Sure, it may ultimately come down to economics, but I am sure that everyone involved is motivated to keep him in Charlotte.

      Moton Meets the Press

      I think the knee stuff with Moton has been blown way out of proportion. The exact quote was “It’s chronic stuff. Most linemen deal with it. But it’s just figuring out what we can do to make sure it’s limited and I’m still able to explode off it, which right now I can and I feel like I can in the future,” After a while, you start learning more about it and what can we do to make sure it’s as little of an issue as possible. I feel like I’m moving like I was when I was younger.” I don't view that as a guy who's saying his knees are on their last leg I see that as a 10-year NFL olineman saying that obviously after 10 years of playing a really physical sport, he's never truly gonna be 100% healthy again and he's gonna need to spend more time with the training staff to ensure his body can continue to perform at a high level. I think Moton has another 3 to 5 years left if he wants to continue playing.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By kass · Posted

      So much crying. Tiresome. All of you should have had enough time to come to terms with the team picking up his 5th year...
