Basically the consensus is that CMC is more likely to get it than Kamara b/c of how the Saints are more prone to use 2 backs. IDK if that's applicable now even though they signed Latavius Murray, no one knows exactly how much playing time he's going to get. 

Even though we used CMC a lot last year, we have new blood in the RB room , and its a pretty common belief that DJ and Samuel are going to arrive this season. Couple with Greg possibly being healthy again, I wouldn't be surprised to see more rushing yards from CMC but less receiving yards. 

What do you think?

I think CMC gets it. We have so many weapons now that DC’s won’t be able to just take him out of the game.

It’s scary when your check down deserves the same or more attention than your #1 read. CMC is that guy though.

Kamara had his chance last year when Ingram was out for the first 4 games.  They couldn't run the ball at all until they played the Giants.  Kamara may get 1000 yards receiving before CMC, but he may never get 1000 yards rushing.

Honestly I hope CMC doesn't get it because that would mean Ron is likely overusing the crap out of him. We have RB2 and RB3. If he plays CMC like they played Cam the first part of his career, I don't think we will have him a long time before the injuries start showing up. Not saying CMC isn't a durable guy, but all those hits add up and I'd like to keep him for a while.

A 1, 000 yards rushing?  Yes, but receiving, I would probably think not.  If so that could mean Greg is injured again and/or one, if not both, of our young wide-outs are still struggling to break out.  I can't see CMC getting 1,000 yards in the passing game if he's legitimately splitting touches with 3 other weapons.  Not to mention with his shoulder hurting, Cam undoubtedly checked down more than he really wanted to.  That said, I know the RB in Norv's system is like another WR, but again, last year considering all the variables I just laid out, It was more of a forced issued due to circumstance (Greg/Cam injuries and greenhorn WRs).  CMC obviously has the ability to top that maker, however, I don't see this being a one-man show this season.

I think it's almost a given Greg will be hurt eventually, I hate to say.     I moreso hope we're using Moore/Samuel more etc.

Well, the hope is that CMC doesn't have a 1000/1000 year just simply because the wealth of weapons allows those yards to be spread pretty evenly. If that doesn't happen, or there is a spate of injuries(again) then I could certainly see a CMC 1000/1000 scenario. I think the situation is similar for Kamara, if he ends up as a 1000/1000 guy then something probably went wrong for NO.

I think he gets it on less carries and receptions.  Because with more offensive weapons folks won't be able to key on CMC like they did last year when he was most of the offense. His average yards per carry and yards per reception may well go up.

I think CMC’s best chance at accomplishing the feat came last year. With quite a few weapons on the offense, I still see him eating, but he won’t get 1000 yards receiving.

Kamara won’t come near accomplishing it.

I agree, CMC might get fewer opportunities if Samuel, Moore and the others get more use.  On the other hand, we might see his yp carry/catch go up.

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
