Let Us Take a Moment to Appreciate CMC

This dude is currently #2 in rushing yards (318) and yards from scrimmage (450) behind only Dalvin Cook (375 rushing, 454 total) , who coincidentally some people on this board were harping on us to get as well in the 2017 draft.

I've been saying the only thing he's been missing from his game is those break away home run TD plays and he showed a little hint of it in the 2017 WC playoff game vs the Saints. He's had a few times rushing where he had long rushes but got tripped up from behind several times, but he actually broke this one all the way and I was screaming my head off in my living room.

The most remarkable things I'm noticing is : this dude stays healthy, doesn't fumble, he's gotten way stronger from his first couple seasons, his YPC is rising every season and so are pretty much all of his stats in general. (3.7 rookie year, 5.0 2nd year, 5.4 this year per carry). Already 3500 yards from scrimmage and 23 total TDs not even 1/4 through his 3rd season.

IMO this last game has made me realize the team is way more succesful when CMC ISNT catching a million passes per game, when the balls being spread out. I could see him pilling up a lot more rushing yards this year but his receiving going down to 400-600, and I don't mind that at all.

Dalvin is a stud when he's healthy.

Key words being "when he's healthy". He'll get dinged up eventually. 

But I agree, CMC is a stud to begin with.

I actually think his best trait is his field vision.

The ability to see the field and pick his spots was what made Emmitt Smith great more so then his physical talents. I believe that's going to be true of McCaffrey as well.


Speaking of his vision, check out how far in advance CMC makes the cut that sets up the touchdown. He sets up the defender at least seven yards in advance. The defender isn’t even on the screen yet.

Take away that long run yesterday and he averaged only 3.3 yds. per carry on the ground.  He's more valuable catching poo passes out of the backfield.

Yah we should switch him to slot receiver and find a real rb lol.  Btw long runs count too

But you can't, bc he did. You fuggin reprobate. Let's us enjoy our little wins and get the heck off the board if you ain't about that life.

 

Also, factoring in every touch Including receptions without the big run he averaged well over 5 yards per touch.

 

You tard.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
