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....

I would like to see more Anderson.  2 back instead of a slot WR--motion out CMC--leaves D a bit mismatched. 

 

Funny how I saw Bears utilize Howard and Cohen at the same time on the field but for some reason it's hard for the Panthers to do.LOL

If Panthers stuck with the power run game and controlled the tempo of the game then Carolina's defense wouldn't have been worn out and allowed100 yds + rushing. It's a domino effect when the team goes away from running game.

So when you say 5yds receiving is same as 5yds running it's doesn't have the same effect on the opposing defenses or the W/L column.

Panthers had the TOP advantage, our defense got gashed because Atlanta attacked our defenses weakness and ran the ball well for most of the day. its was 10-3 and the Panthers defense was giving up 30 yard rushes to the edge. 

 

Not anywhere close to the offenses fault. 

 

 

Also currently Carolina is 5th in RYPG

The effect on the W/L column could be as much correlation as causation. 

Edit: correlation does not imply causation.

He's calling plays that get the ball out quickly because newsflash our oline was playing with brand new players, lineup changes. 

You do know Run Blocking is the easiest thing for an OL to do especially for a new combo unit. P.S. it's also much faster to give the ball to RB than pass.

PS...just because cmac was catches doesn't mean we didn't have players running downfield routes...it just means they weren't open and he was or Cam doesn't quite trust someone after they drop the ball on him a few times.

Its called designing plays to get guys open which Norv didn't do for the deep shots.

PSS...it's hard to keep running the ball when the other team is scoring at will on you.

P.S. the other teams wouldn't be scoring at will if the Panthers controlled the TEMPO of the game with running game instead of punting with dropped passes

...oh yeah and your boy caused the only turnover we had on offense..that pretty much killed our come back chances. And had another big drop. I like Anderson but acting like he was just gonna do so much better than mcaffery's 5 yards/carry because you have a bias isn't looking at it without blinders on

Dinking and Dunking majority of the time cost the game.

You do know the team with 100yds + rusher won the game and not the one with 100yds receiving

Stop lying, Falcons offense controlled majority of the game until 4th qtr when they started playing prevent and let the offense drive down.

Falcons: 29:42

Panthers: 30:18

With all the race baiting and idiocy spread around about our black QB and white RB, the huddle is getting unbearable

just for you dude—

you said most runs to control the clock bla bla bla,..

where you are stuck in fantasy land looking for one running back to pay off your fantasy team,

the Panthers are top 5 rushing now,..

ill wait. 

So they are rushing by committee and also using short passes that act as even more runs to control the clock.

they had 105 yards rushing this last game.

so I’m not sure if you understand anything about what you keep arguing— 

you can rush for 300 yards per game and pass zero

but if your defense keeps folding and giving up 2 minute touchdowns, you are screwed.

Your stats say the panthers controlled the clock.

and the panthers had 105 yards rushing,..

it doesn’t matter if your defense gives up 2 minute touchdowns,..

LOL I give you numbers based on 16 games and you come back with data on 2 games how selective of you, but you still get the L again.

P.S. Which team won, the one with RB having 100yds rushing & QB having 272 passing yards (ATL)

or

the one with RB having 100yds receving & QB having 335 passing yards (CAR)

YOU CAN DO BETTER!

The Panthers were 4th on that list and didnt have a 1000 yard rusher and the teams rush game sucked for the majority of the season.

You are trying to be selective and yet supporting the point.

the panthers are right now averaging more than 100 yards rushing per game, and ranked number 5 right on pace with last year.

I still think you have no idea what you are arguing.

if you are saying we need 100 yards rushing a game, then correct and it’s happening now,..

but if you are saying the falcons rushed 170 yards per game because we only rushed 105 you are crazy.

most of theirs was chunk plays,..again on the defense,

we controlled the clock— the clock has nothing to do with limiting chunk plays

Go back to rubbing your lamp,..

not reading what is obviously another poo show thread, but once DJ Moore actually gets to play and stretches the field, look for McCaffrey to eat even more
