PFF: McCaffrey has been great this season

Now nine games into his sophomore season in the NFL, Carolina Panthersrunning back Christian McCaffrey is answering the league’s call for a modern, every-down bell-cow in the backfield. The 5-foot-11, 205-pound Stanford product doesn’t resemble the bell-cows of old (e.g., Steven Jackson, Shaun Alexander, Jamal Lewis, Deuce McCallister), and he’s proven he doesn’t have to carry the load for an offense.

Garnering 19.7 touches per game – a top-10 figure among all NFL backs – McCaffrey has totaled 1,018 yards from scrimmage, seven touchdowns and 41 first downs. He’s also averaged a 5.76 yards per touch and forced 0.19 missed tackles per touch, ranking sixth and eighth, respectively, among backs with 120-plus touches this season. And he’s done so with a high percentage of his total touches coming not as a runner, but as a receiver, which is a testament to the modern, pass-happy era.

Pretty sure Cmac has shut up almost all his critics from last season ( his rookie year FFS ).  Dude is a baller.  I can see him getting around 1800-1900 yards from scrimmage by seasons end.  Probably add on another 6-8 TD's.  Well worth the pick with how we are using him in this type of offense.  With Cam, they at times look nearly unstoppable together.

He's a real special talent in the mold of an LT or M Faulk. My only problem is our use of him when we have CJ on the bench during certain situations.

Yeah he’s a complete monster but having him play 100% of the snaps is just silly. CJ is capable as well, let McC rest a bit and pound CJ up the middle.

Hes been doing great so far. If I had to guess his final stats will be something like 1050 rushing 700 receiving

What I've been impressed with the most this season is he seems a lot more powerful and his running vision is a lot better, hes barely hesitating at all and just hitting holes, and carrying people for extra yardage. He's also churning out TDs consistently in the past few games.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
