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.

      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.
