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.

https://www.profootballfocus.com/news/pro-is-a-shift-in-scheme-keeping-mccaffrey-grounded

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....

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
