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.

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
