CMC MVP status

[bobowilson]

CMC is better than Austin Ekeler (993 receiving yards this year), but not by that large of a gap.

And you can probably sign Austin Ekeler for 4 million dollars a year.

Unfortunately, CMC is good looking and charismatic, and we'll do everything we can to lock him up to sell tickets given his popularity in this region (even though not one team has not lived to regret giving a RB a massive contract in the modern era).

Wait what?  Gurley was so limited by injury (which is one of the reasons you dont invest heavy capital in RBs), the Rams were literally only using CJ Anderson (who we cut and they signed off the trash heap) on their Super Bowl run.

Fournette was terrible in the playoffs for the Jags, and they won in spite of him.  In their wildcard victory against the Bills, he rushed 21 times for 57 yards.  In their loss to the Patriots, 76 yards on 24 carries.  On the season, he averaged 3.9 yards per attempt, and had a 58.5 rating from PFF.  Fournette had his best year in 2019, but is still basically a replacement level running back.

So when the teams do good its because of other players but when the team does bad its not the other players fault but its on the RB?

You just excluded Gurleys whole season has if that wasn't apart of the "Super Bowl run" Maybe they didnt win the Super Bowl BECAUSE Gurley was hurt

or his 116 yards 7.2 ypc vs dallas in the Playoffs. Take Gurley off the Rams they dont even make the Playoffs

You mention two playoff games for Fournette but skip the Steelers game? Let me guess its because he ran for 109 yards and 3 Tds yea thats it.

CMC was not a big reason why the 2017 team went to the playoffs. J Stew had around 60-70% of the carries. He had some big plays, but I wouldn't say that team finishes any worse then 10-6 with CMC. \

KB being what he was, the week before we traded him he still had a TD catch and was having a solid season. Had no problem with trading him, but it's a lie to say he was playing bad enough to warrant a trade. Would've been nice to have a tall receiver in that wild card game that was not Devin Funchess.

CMC caught 80 passes that year we all know he was drafted to give Cam a better WR option out the back

Funny you bring up Stewart who was a 1st round RB who got a second contract.....................

Ok boomer

It's 2020 

There's a reason there are no Walyer Paytons or Jim Browns in the current league, the rules changed (radically)

So Tepper needs to throw away millions to downgrade and break hurney's contract before it expires at the same time as Tepper's guy in Pitt because you're upset about a contract? Black Monday in the GM position is after the draft. It's too late in the scouting process to fire anybody. My prediction, Marty moves to scouting and the Pitt guy is hired.
