No, Kamara has a better coach than McCaffrey, along with a HOF fame QB.  Both are great backs that should be respected in their own right, but you can't compare them without taking into consideration their different situations.

Cmc has better stats this year and Kamara is a committee back and will not get the yards that cmc will get

Yeah, but I do think both are very good, and comparing them is silly because their situations are so different. 

With that said, I personally think CMC has a greater skill set and would be on a whole different level if he had Payton calling plays for him the last two years.  No matter how you slice it, Kamara has greatly benefitted from having Sean Payton calling plays and Drew Brees controlling the offense.

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 think you're overrating him a tad. he could probably be a slot guy if he was forced out of the backfield, but absolutely not a #1 receiver. that's insane.

Well, most analysts said he was probably the best route runner out of all the pass catchers in that draft, including WR's.  He also has excellent hands and good speed.  So the possibility of him developing into a #1 if that was his primary focus is not unrealistic.  But that really wasn't the point.  I was just pointing out that he is different from all of those other RB's that are also good receivers that were mentioned because he is a much more natural receiver than they are, much like Faulk was (which is what the other poster I was agreeing with was saying).

i'm sorry but i think you have the homer goggles on big time. claiming CMC could be a #1 WR is absolutely ridiculous.

 

i understand the point you were making, but that #1 WR claim is silly. his route-running really isn't much better than the other elite pass catching RBs.

      The bottom line is we saw long stretches this season where T-Mac wasn't even targeted.  He had games where he went an entire half without seeing a pass thrown his way, and it lead to a bunch of games with 5 or less targets.  If he's healthy and we're not up a stupid amount and only running the ball, I can't see him having more than a game or two next year with 5 or less targets. We were also only 22nd this year in pass attempts, and that was with a rookie #1 and no legitimate 2nd option for half the season.  And even then, we were only 46 pass attempts above 31st place. If we go into next season with T-Mac improved in his 2nd season and a healthy Coker for 17 games, there is absolutely no reason for us to not throw it more.  That right away increases both of their target totals without sacrificing any targets from each other or other players, add in them taking targets from the TEs and RBs on top of that, and your argument just doesn't hold water anymore. You can't look at targets/yards in a vacuum and think next year Coker just takes some from T-Mac.  You have to look at the team as a whole and our situations this year and then project what will happen next year. If he's healthy for 17 games, I'd bet my life savings that T-Mac sees increases across the board, targets/catches/yards/TDs.   Just as Coker will also see career highs in all categories, it's not one vs the other, it's shifting offensive strategy given our personnel, which next year will be much better for our passing game (QB issues aside).

      C'mon now.... First, you can't switch up your argument once someone points out a major flaw in your point. You're saying we shouldn't expect a big increase in targets/yards for T-Mac, but then shift to talking about averages with Chase when I point out the significant leap he took there once you factor in his missing games.  He saw an increase in targets in 5 less games, averages aside, he saw a significant increase in targets in his 2nd season, what he then did with those targets is actually irrelevant in this discussion. Puka seeing no increase is pointless, as he saw such an absurd amount of targets for a rookie, it's near impossible to see an increase. But the real issue in this post is that you think I'm proving your point by showing how Waddle had to share targets with Hill. Tyreek Hill was a 1st team All Pro who was 2nd in the NFL in yards that season. If you think Jaylen Waddle sharing targets with a 1st team All Pro and a future HOFer is even remotely in the same category as T-Mac needing to share targets with Coker... then you are certifiably insane, lol. If anything, you could make the argument that Coker is to Waddle as T-Mac is to Hill in that discussion (which would then lead to a serious increase in targets/yards for T-Mac).  But even that is insane, as neither T-Mac or Coker will be as good as Hill and Waddle respectively that season.  I love both of their potential, but c'mon now, T-Mac isn't getting 119 catches for 1,700 yards and Coker isn't getting 117 for 1,350 next season.
