He leads the Carolina Panthers in rushing yards, receptions and touchdowns, and the Detroit Lions know that stopping him Sunday will be key to snapping their three-game losing streak.

Lions cornerback Darius Slay marveled at McCaffrey's abilities Thursday, and at how different he is from other NFL running backs.

"I just never saw a white guy do it like that," Slay said. "He goes ham out there and like he plays on an elite level at the running back. (Most) white running backs (are known for) running folks over, he be out there shaking them and doing all what he needs to do, and catch it in the air. So he’s special. He’s special."

Not sure what CMCs race has to do with anything, but he has a lot of great things to say about CMC.

It's an athlete thing. Even white football players say "look at that white boy!" at guys like CMC. It's unusual. Strong, sure. Intelligent, sure. But never fast and agile, not at that level. Nothing back handed meant, he's just saying what we all know. CMC is not your average white running back.

So basically if he was black he wouldn't have even mentioned it.  Sound pretty freaking racist to me.  TBH I don't see many black RB with this talent.   Kareem Hunt maybe.

This forum is so fickle.  When someone says the same thing about the "Black QB" the whole damn forum erupts into a racist rant. 

Can't have it both ways.... If the "Black QB" comments are racist than the "White RB" comments are racist.

He could have given props to CMC without bringing race in it.  CMC is a unique talent. PERIOD.

I see what you’re saying and there is some truth there. 

Peoples sensitivities aside, he was being honest and it really was a compliment. Any time a person is “shaking them and doing what he needs to do” , I take In a positive way. :)

It’s Friday.

Oh, I have no doubt it was a compliment.   Anyone that doesn't see him as a danger to a defense will soon learn. 

Reminds me of Fred Smoots (Minnesota Vikings 2005) when he downplayed how good Smitty was and said he was going to shut him down.  201 yds 1 TD and 11 for 11 on targets.  He learned...  Smoots was never the same after that game.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
