Myth buster christian mccaffrey

[Clicheking]

I dont think anyone doubts CMC at this point anymore. He's probably already the best offensive skill player we've had not named Smitty. Time to let the myth ago and move along

Another CMC Myth..

CMC cant break tackles and goes down with 1st hit

Reality...

Thats not a Myth if you were talking about the first half of last year, where he did struggle quite a bit with that. 

But to be fair Stew was horribly struggling as well during that period rushing wise.

People were rediculous last season talking negative about McCaffrey. It was clearly the Shula not utilizing him properly. After this season anyone who talks bad about CMAC in any way should be banned. We have not had an offensive threat at his level since Smitty in his prime and CMAC may be even better when it’s all said and done after week 16. 

He’s improved a lot as a rusher, which I expected. He needed to get a feel for the NFL so it could slow down for him and he could use his vision and patience to have these quick one cut runs he has now. Similar to Le’Veon Bell. Plus the bulk has helped. He was an elite receiver last year but only now is he an elite receiver AND runner. Total beast and I’m extremely happy we didn’t get Fournette (who I badly wanted at the time , thought top 10 for McC was ridiculous).

I’m sure the data would support that, we all saw him early last year and he definitely did struggle a bit as a runner.

Skin color is something that prevents players from getting opportunities. I’m sure there are other white guys out there who would be successful if given the opportunity. Riggins and Craig James and others would still succeed

Or receiver

Needs to pick-up on his blocking skills, definitely. But outside of that, he’s nearly the complete package of a RB since (imho) LT.

Or cornerback! Surely there must be a white athlete out there in high school who can run faster and play better than Daryl Worley or corn elder?
