An Update on a Historic Season for Christian McCaffrey

[Hoenheim]

Currently he is 

• 2nd in yards from scrimmage (1925) 
• 4th in rushing (1080) 
• 9th in average yards per rush (5.0) 
• 5th in receptions (106) 
• 25th in receiving yards (845)
• Leads the Panthers in receptions, receiving yards, rushing yards, total touchdowns, and total yards from scrimmage 

 

Most recently he

• Broke Steve Smith's Panthers franchise record for most receptions in a single season
• Broke Matt Forte's NFL record for most receptions by a running back in a single season 

Current Stats are

• 215 rushes, 1080 rushing yards, 5.0 yards per carry , 7 rushing touchdowns
• 106 receptions, 845 receiving yards, 6 receiving touchdowns
• 1925 yards from scrimmage, 13 total touchdowns 

Career Stats are 

• 332 rushes, 1515 rushing yards, 4.5 yards per carry, 9 rushing touchdowns
• 186 receptions, 1496 receiving yards, 11 receiving touchdowns
• 20 total touchdowns, 3011 yards from scrimmage in 2 seasons 

Lost in all of this is how his stats this year compare to last year and how much better he's been running the ball. Cant imagine what's in store for next season. 

Yea , I'll update the stats if he plays in the last game.

So it IS possible for a white boy to play RB in the NFL

Wheres all the haters who complained when we drafted him 8th???

[Jon Snow]

There are still fools that think he was not worth the #8 pick.  You can't fix stupid.

This is great but it better not happen again. The guy’s body will be toast in a few seasons if they don’t lighten his load.

Most notable is the fact that hes a white RB that isn't mosly a power back (ex. Larry Czonka , John Riggins, Mike Alstott, Payton Hillis). There have been some good white RBs in the last 40  years or so but rarely are they a balanced RB like CMC is.

This narrative started before he even played a down for us and is continuing to no avail. This dude will be 23 heading into next season and has never missed an NFL game in his career.

Every stat in the OP should have an asterisk denoting * that he was on a 6-10 football team with nobody else on offense besides McCaffrey making plays, hence why they were 6-10

It's indicative of the shortcomings in other areas of the offense like another poster said. @tondi

Most of McCaffrey's catches are check downs and a check down is something even the lowest level of QB's and RB's can execute. You guys are ridiculous. 6-10 guys, 6-10, all of those glorious McCaffrey stats apparently meant nothing in the grand scheme of things, whereas Gurley's stats appear to have meant everything in the grand scheme of things.

People hate the truth. They hate it.

 

Pretty sure you won't get this (because let's be honest, there a lot of things you just don't get) but the fact that he did this on a losing team actually makes it an even bigger accomplishment than it would have been otherwise..

Hilarious that you people only want to admit racial biases only when it allows you to feign victim. With Cam and Reid, it's simple criticism and we're just being overly sensitive.

No, because his stats are just a product of volume. What quarterback, running back combination couldn't execute a check down? 

Cameron Artis-Payne, any RB that could stay healthy while being continually used like McCaffrey was, would surely rack up stats due to the shear volume, do you not understand that?

I don't give you a lot of credit for being able to understand basic logic.

So cap would have the stats if he got the same targets and carries? Are you some kinda clown?

Cmc played better than gurley Check the number of runs over 20 yards. Cmc has many more than gurley all behind a much worse off line than rams

Yes, yes he is definitely one of the resident clowns.

He's not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer.

But here's the fun part: McCaffrey is capable of taking a short check down or a quick hand off and turning it into big yardage. He does it on a pretty regular basis if you're paying attention.

The notion that this is somehow a negative is pretty stupid.

And truthfully, there's a certain player who made an entire career out of that. He's actually in the Hall of Fame, even though he spent years in an offense that was based even more around those ideas and concepts than ours is.

I could name him, but I'd rather see if our dull-witted friend can guess who I'm talking about.

(the odds are probably against him)

I don't give you credit for responding though. It would be better if everyone ignored the usuals.
