CMC has a chance to be 3rd RB ever to reach the 1000/1000 club

Only two RBs in the history of the league have rushed for 1,000 yards and had a 1,000 yards receiving during the regular season.  With five games left to be played McCaffrey needs just under 250 yards to reach 1,000 yards rushing and he needs 392 yards receiving to reach 1,000 as well.  So, McCaffrey just needs to average 50 yards a game rushing and 78.4 yards receiving over these last five games.  Not a piece of cake but certainly has a decent outside chance.  Would be pretty cool to witness some remarkable history even during these heartbreaking times.

Side note - McCaffrey leads the team in both rushing and receiving yards  --- and just like that, Funchess is our #3 WR in terms of yards and has already been surpassed by Moore.  Given the disparity in opportunities this is both shocking and depressing.  Talk about some "missed opportunities."

If he did that he would be on his way to a hof career barring injury. Might be the best all purpose back since Faulk.

CMC has been great but lets pump the brakes a little bit. are bell, gurley, hunt and gordon not all purpose backs? and there have been several dominant RBs that have played between faulk and now. LT, SJax and Priest Holmes all come to mind.

 

love the dude and i think he's just now breaking out the past few weeks but lets be real.

Going to be hard to get to 1000 receiving unless he breaks some huge plays. I think tonight was an anomaly with 11 receptions and mightve been primarily because Funchess wasn't playing.

I did already make a CMC thread lol  but I guess it wasnt too popular . He has 757 rushing and 610 receiving yards  . So he needs 243 rushing yards and 390 receiving yards. 

Hes got a good shot at it if he has a couple more receiving games like this one though.

I honestly think it was borderline whether Ron and/or Hurney would be retained even if we had a similar record to last year and were legitimate contenders for the NFC title (I believe Tepper has always wanted to get his own guys in here, but it just wasn't the time when he was approved as owner).  But with the way the team is playing, and nobody looking like they have any answers, I think Tepper will not hesitate to bring in someone with a new, modern vision to compete with the Saints, Rams, and Chiefs as soon as the season is done. 

I also don't think it helped their cause at all when the team was embarrassed by his old team.  Several players mentioned before the game that it was clear he really wanted to have a successful "homecoming," so losing like we did was probably a huge nail in their coffins.

Only needs 49 yards rushing avg to get 1000 The 1000 receiving will require some big receiving games

No question they are all very good all purpose backs, but each of them are primarily RB's that can catch and make plays out of the backfield.  But CMC could truly be either a legitimate RB or WR in the NFL.  Like Faulk, he is equally as good at RB and running routes and playing like a WR.  It doesn't have to be situational for him.

Put any of those other guys solely at WR, and they probably wouldn't be major players (so much of their success as receiver is predicated out of being a RB).  But CMC could be a legitimate #1 or 2 WR on a good team.

    • I hope we're not going all in this year. We couldn't outright win our own division with a losing record. We had 2 anomalous wins. Typically you aren't going to win scoring 13 and have your opponent have an absolute train wreck offense.  Also, a team scoring 16 on 6 trips to the red zone is not normal either. I'm not trying to be a pessimist. We're not there. Bryce isn't there. Most of the year our offense legitimately struggled and the missing piece wasn't a TE. Keep building through the draft and reasonable FA. When we have a team that's on the edge of being able to make a legitimate SB run, then go all in. Otherwise, going all in right now feels like another Bryce situation. Sell out and pray. That's not how consistent winners are built. 
    • XL might never reach his full potential here but I think he does have a legitimate shot at becoming a pretty good #2-3. We knew when we picked him that he was raw but his athletic traits were hard to pass on.  I still remember coming here and telling 85% of huddlers to not give up on DB yet after his first couple of years here.  I just knew DB was going to special. I wouldn't put XL in that exact same category but I wouldn't write him off yet. I think our playcalling is also working against his strengths.  At the very least, we should have a servicable #3 receiver w/ speed between XL, Horn Jr, and Meetchie. 
    • I think we haven't praised Morgan/tilis enough. In this thread we have some huddles best and its hard to figure out what to do with the 19th pick, if you understand that. Im also posting what "I" believe they are doing and what I feel is best. Those FA signess send a clear signal- They are going all-in to win this coming season. If you factor that in, just believe it first, it 100% changes what going on with pick 19, cause 51st pick doesn't matter as the talent level drop is petty big between the two. So 19 is the biggest difference maker on the current plan of all-in for the 2026.  Then you factor in who will be there at, (I better hold off on my other strong thought here- I think trade up is the best help too, yes using that 3rd to do so too...) DT, ILB(Allen? he didn't run), OC, QB(ooo my I don't want to rage drool my hate again about how I feel here, plus F it draft TY simp not joking)....... those 4 groups don't have the "BPA" at 19. You can add ILB Hill in there, but I feel 19 just is too high, other disagree.  Slot or TE it is......Kenyon is the only TE worth a 1st and he's the classic draft dilemma- All sort of he's a top ten lock to he's a non-blocking one trick WR that's not even worth 2nd currency. Then there's he's the clear winner from the TE group, thus increases his value more no matter the opinion.  Honestly I see the Matt Millen outcome as the current odds favorite, I think the huddle would go bonkers for weeks as result......just the truth tho, WR had the highest odds to be the clear BPA and slot is a need...plus if we are talking about Walker being a one year deal, Coker is a one year too(he may have another controll yr, I got to confirm it tho). Plus God forbid Tmac gets hurt, the drop in talent from him or Coker to Moore is fuging scary, I'd say more than the recent OT stone fellow. It goes back back to adding talent no matter what, draft now help, and where are  the weak points are in the system you want to run....
