Despite us getting taken to the woodshed yesterday, here's at least one thing to be positive about. CMC continues to absolutely ball vs teams not named Tampa Bay. 

Going to start tracking his weekly progress since he's already accumulated over 1000 yards from scrimmage in 7 games. Currently : 

  • 141 rushing attempts, 735 rushing yards, 5.2 yards per carry, 84 yard longest run, 5 20+ yard rushing plays, 8 Rushing TDs
  • 49 targets, 39 receptions, 343 receiving yards, 8.8 yards per catch, 25 yard longest reception, 3 20+ yard receiving plays,  2 receiving TDs
  • 1078 yards from scrimmage, 10 total touchdowns
  • #4 in the league in rushing yards (#2 among players with 7 games played behind Nick Chub with 738) 
  • #2 in the league in yards from scrimmage (#1 among players with 7 games played) 
  • #1 in the league in yards per game (154, D.Cook is 2nd with 139.5) 
  • #2 in the league in rushing Touchdowns (tied with 8 with Aaron Jones, Dalvin Cook #1 with 9) 
  • #2 in the league in rushing yards per game (with 105.0, Nick Chubb #1 with 105.4) 
  • One of 7 RBs in the NFL averaging over 5 yards per carry
  • Needs 265 more rushing yards for 1000 
  • Needs 657 more receiving yards for 1000 

Updated Career Stats through 2.5 seasons (39 games):

  • 477 rushing attempts, 2268 rushing yards, 4.8 YPC, 17 rushing touchdowns, longest run : 84 yard TD (2019)
  • 226 receptions, 1861 receiving yards, 8.2 YPC, 13 receiving touchdowns, longest reception : 38 yards (2018) 
  • 4129 yards from scrimmage, 30 total touchdowns   
    • For Reference :
      • Emmit Smith had 5034 yfs, 43 total TDs through his first 3 seasons.
      • Marshall Faulk had 4372 yfs, 33 total TDs 
      • Walter Payton had 4552 yfs, 36 total TDs

Wow...  Turns out that was a great pick!

pretty much. If you take away nothing else from all that data, pay attention to the last line. He's going blow for blow with Emmit Smith, Walter Payton, and especially similar to Marshall Faulk in terms of total yards and total TDs he's getting.

He’s not going for 1k/1k.  

He’s going for 2k/1k.

Thats re-gawd-damn-diculous.  I hope he breaks the record book in half.

Hes on pace for about 1600 rushing / 700 receiving / 23 TDs 

He could get much more or much less than that though, depending on how he performs in the 2nd half of the season. 

The main stat is he's been average 154 yards from scrimmage per game, which is pretty solid number by now with 7 games played. That would translate to 2464 yfs on the season, which would be 2nd all time in yfs for 1 season (Chris Johnson 2009 holds the record with 2509) (Marshall Faulk 1999 currently number 2 with 2429)

Its this single season yfs record that CMC should really be gunning for IMO. He's basically on the same pace is Faulk was in his 1999 greatest show on turf season which was :

  • Faulk : (16 games) 1381 rushing yards, 1048 receiving yards, 7 rush TD, 5 receiving TD
  • McCaffrey : (7 games) 735 rushing yards,  343 receiving yards, 8 rush TD, 2 receiving TD

The fact is he is actively trying to break the record and has an OC perfectly willing to let him have the ball.

It up to the defenses to stop him now.  He’s on a mission.

Too bad our OL screwed up his 40 yard run down to the goal line. We actually would have been down only 27-20 in the 3rd. Still had no answer to the running game so we wouldn’t have won but we wasted a really good run because we couldn’t play smart or well. 

Ron shouldve taken him out early in the 4th. Playing him needlessly when the game was way out of contention is a big no-no IMO.

These stats are great CMC is on a historic pace by all accounts. His stats are pretty simular to Marshal Faulk's at this point in both their careers. 

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he spent his first 5 or 6 years with us and went to Denver or something for the last half of his career. Its incredibly rare for running backs to stay with one team their entire career unless they end it early themselves (ex. Barry Sanders) or if it ends early due to injury (ex. Gayle Sayers, Earl Campbell, Bo Jackson).

      Playoffs!? You wanna talk about playoffs!?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      It's been many a year since we were in December talking about how games mattered for something other than draft order. This crazy, mixed up, unpredictable, maddening, uplifting and teeth gnashing season has certainly not been boring.

      Icky Contract Extension

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      If you look at Brown and Horn's contracts, expect to pay above what he is likely actually worth. This is the Panthers suckage tax. Ultimately, much like Derrick Brown, he has steadily improved over time and that's what you want out of your young first round draft picks. He was one of the biggest and most important question marks coming into the season and he has answered it conclusively. He is "the guy" at LT. Great news, one less position of extreme importance to have to attempt to remedy.

      Okay gentlemen, REAL talk...

      This is maddening because, well, it's so up and down. When the kid's on, he can be great. When he's mediocre, we can still win based on a strong running game and good defense. When he's bad, and over his history he's this more than not, then it's a sad show that no one could win with. How can anyone know what is going to happen right now? Really. It's like picking one flake in a snow globe and shaking it once a week... there is no telling where it will end up. Things I did see on Sunday from Bryce: his teammates love him; he can make the big throws with good protection and good effort from his receivers. He isn't afraid to run. He can rise up against the best in competition (but he can also sink to the level of bad competition).  All I can say is if Canales goes with an aggressive game plan for Bryce that leans on a hot-hand running game, the team can beat anyone. If there's any wishy-washy play calling, then Bryce melts and couldn't beat anyone.  Maybe the person Bryce needs to win over more than anyone is Canales.
