Christian McCaffrey #4 in the NFL in yards after contact

Recommended Posts

Well hello and welcome to the “ur anti-mccafffrey narrative is debunked again” here looking this week at his production after first contact.

Oh well down goes the drain for all the “mccaffrey can’t break a tackle” folks. Just like the game last week debunked the “mccaffrey can’t run between the tackles” people.

Guess he is a good runningback.

EDIT: Seems people are misconceiving this as me shading people from last year.

I thought it was obvious that I was putting this up for a certain someone still pushing the narrative McCaffrey isn't the best after contact on this website. I'm not talking about last year.

Come on dude, it was true last year. He got ragged dolled a bunch last season and got brought down by a lot of arm tackles that poo was frustrating. 

I give CMC credit for putting on more muscle in the offseason and improving his power game .  I was honestly surprised to see him running so violently this season. Even though of course it was encouraging seeing those offseason pics that were showing him obviously appearing much more ripped.

Really hoping he continues the trend for the rest of the season. Hes going to have one bad ass highlight tape after the season is over if he keeps trucking fools every game.

Pretty much. Him adding bulk and fixing a hole in his game from last year doesn't make those assessments wrong. He's already forced half the missed tackled he forced all of last year in 3 games.

After 11 games last season, PFF wrote an article detailing concern about his Yards after contact, his elusiveness and broken tackles.

This year he has erased concern about all 3.

Here are avoided tackle leaders after week 3

He's up there too in broken tackles, but I don't have the numbers.

This can't be.  He's just a scatback not a power runner.

I guess one game makes a career nowadays. He was horrible at running between the tackles last season, make all the excuses you want but its true. t

No one could have run between the tackles with last years team. There was not a sliver of daylight.  Plays were predictable and opponents  stacked the box.  Christian has become a better player + the Panthers have a better OC.

I'm glad he's improved. That's what you expect out of a good football player. The toldyaso's in here are hilarious. He couldn't break tackles this year, but still looked great at the end of last year. I love that he spent the offseason turning his weakness into a strength. That's what's supposed to happen.

Early in the year he was but he second half of the year he looked much much better and averaged nearly 5ypc on the ground despite getting not very many carries and no ability to build some rhythm. And it's not just 1 game this year, he looked great running it weeks 1 and 2. He doesn't need 28 carries to look good running the ball up the middle. Through 3 game this year he has easily looked like a top 5 between the tackles runner, with unmatched vision and patience and clearly top 5 tackle breaking ability. Then add in his receiving....

    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
