Darius Slay in awe of CMC

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.

    • It’s simple. Win and everyone in here will say the culture is good. Dear lord the amount of time spent on these posts is hysterical. We’ve seen the end of season swoons where you can tell the team had given up with many of the same leaders that took us to playoff seasons. When your OL is decimated by injuries, it’s amazing how fast culture turns. When you get on a tear like 2015, everyone’s having fun. You need the right people regardless, but they have to win.
    • The difference is about how much player input is allowed and encouraged in the decision making process. Top down teams tend to dictate to players how everything is handled. Disagreements are handled by the coach and players are expected to do what they are told regardless of what they think or feel.  Players are perceived as commodities to be used until we find better. In player led teams player input is encouraged and valued. Players and especially leaders are expected to settle their own disagreements and be accountable to the team but mostly to each other. Players are family to be appreciated and supported in their growth. Is the reality of football the same in both? Yeah there are limited positions, football is a business and winning is the bottom line. Coaches get final say and run the program because that is their job. But in player led teams they feel valued, appreciated, part of a larger whole. Most people who have worked at multiple jobs know exactly what I am talking about. When players try to run the show and don't value  coach input that isn't a player led team, that is a circus which we surely are familiar with in our past.
