Christian McCaffrey on record-setting pace ... as a receiver

The No. 8 overall pick of the 2017 draft put on a show with his route running, whether he lined up in the backfield, in the slot or at wideout. With 20 catches in two games, he has put himself on pace to obliterate the NFL's single-season record for receptions by a running back. Matt Forte had 102 for the Chicago Bears in 2014.

Though it isn't realistic to think McCaffrey will average 10 catches a game, he is on pace for 160 total.

"Oh, he's a nightmare," Carolina strong safety Mike Adams said. "A guy that can run the routes, run the ball and catch, you're just not used to that."

 

And there's no reason to think it can't continue.

McCaffrey has 40.8 percent of his team's receptions, which is the highest rate by a running back through the first two games since 2001 when the league began keeping these stats. The previous high was 38.1 percent by Domanick Williams for the 2004 Texans.

 

I believe we are NOW aware that CMC is not a running back but a slot WR who lines up in the backfield =) 

 

When Reality Strikes....

Where is the bad thing? I just posted stats? Please show me where the complaint is? 

You're trying to spin that this somehow makes him not a runningback, when as someone else pointed out, he's running the ball even better than last year.

I'm old enough to remember a time when receivers caught passes and running backs took handoffs. Then came the West Coast Offense, and suddenly you had guys like Ricky Watters who could be deadly in either category.

Norv Turner is putting a pretty heavy workload on McCaffrey, and so far it's working. As long as it continues to, the question about what position he plays is equally irrelevant as a discussion about whether our tight ends or fullbacks are really better suited to be H-backs.

Kaseklosed hates cmc for some reason

No. I disliked DG and his choice to draft a slot WR in the top 8 of the draft with Kamara, Tarik Cohen all available later in the draft. Could of picked up OJ Howard and had CMC lol 

Ya'll CMC lovers defend him after fumbles and the inability to brake tackles. I just think GettleMagic fuged us over

CMC's role in the passing game still amounts to handoffs.  They're just "extended handoffs".  I'm ok with Cam throwing the ball 50 times a game if he's getting 6 or 7 yards per play and moving the chains.  It's the same difference.  

 

I don't see many Patriots and Packers fans complaining about not running the ball enough when their teams are scoring 30 points with ease week in and week out.  I don't blame them.

CMC excels at  playing WR more than running back. Is this not a reasonable conclusion? He nets 1.2 yards after contact. That does not make you a good running back =(

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By bandu · Posted

      there is one common denominator in the 2003 & 2015 Carolina Panthers teams they both had ELITE top tier Qb play.  it would require a MVP type of season from Bryce Young to have the same type of success that Jake Delhomme had in  2003 & or Cam Newton in 2015 & lead this team to a SuperBowl is this going to happen or is there any reason to believe Bryce Young is capable of playing similar to Jake Delhomme in 2003 or Cam Newton in 2015 ? well no there is no absolutely NO reason whatsoever to believe that this is going to happen in 2026 ..just saying

      Trevin Wallace - One Final Shot...or is Cherelus someone to watch?

      By CmC2k · Posted

      I'd actually like to see Cherelus get a fair shot to win the job in camp. Wallace is decent in drop zone coverage, but he gets abused in the play action game and is often times out of position in the run game. It might just be me, but I swear every time I watch Wallace play, I see multiple plays a game were it looks like he's just trying to be blocked. Watching Cherelus last year he at least looked like he was trying to hit someone on every play. Wallace plays like a LB who doesn't trust what he sees and it makes him passive and cautious versus Cherelus who regardless of if his decision is right or wrong goes at it 100%.

      Vrabel and Russini? Athletic investigating.

      Agreed.  Hasn’t happened to me either, but I feel very strongly about it.  That’s not just one of the worst things a woman could do to a man, it’s a power inherent to only women and is one of the worst things a HUMAN being can do to another.  A man can’t “hide” a pregnancy or maternity.  It’s impossible.  And that sucks for anyone that has to go through that. I always got a weird vibe off her and just found her very unlikeable.  Annoying even.  I’ve always been good at reading people and there was just something about her to me that was off-putting, somewhere under the surface.  And here we are…  she is despicable.
