Christian McCaffrey makes NFL fantasy player of the year

Best player (non QB) in the league. We are lucky to have him.


MIAMI -- Christian McCaffrey's record-breaking 2019 season earned a big stamp of recognition on Saturday as he was named the NFL Fantasy Player of the Year at the league's ninth annual NFL Honors ceremony ahead of Super Bowl LIV.

The award caps a stellar campaign in which McCaffrey was named AP All-Pro First Team at both the running back and flex positions after joining the exclusive 1,000-1,000 club.

He was also named to his first Pro Bowl, and earned PFWA All-NFL honors and Sporting News All-Pro honors.

You have to love USA Today’s grade of drafting McCaffrey after he was selected:

I never trust offensive production in the PAC 10--it is like the defense has to wear blindfolds and mittens.  He has proven me wrong.  I really did not expect anything more than a third down back.   If you called it, hats off.  (by the way--did Ross ever play?--checked: in 3 seasons, he has 49 career catches.  Yikes)

The grade is dumb. Unfortunately the analysis does bring up a reasonable point in terms of resource allocation and overall investment value in a team building context when future general managers consider taking a running back in the top 8 of the draft. As talented as Barkley and McCaffrey are, they can't win you games alone. Pair that with the look of offenses around the league that are successfully operating with 2 or 3 backs, like the Saints who drafted Kamara in the third round, if anything that analysis rings more true now.

CMC is a 1k runner and a 1k receiver. With a healthy QB and talent around him he can absolutely win you a Super Bowl. Can you imagine him as RB for the Chiefs or 49ers?

1k rushing/1k receiving amounted to 1 divisional win against the NFCS in 2019.

Those numbers will be going down a good bit if we are making a playoff run. The 49ers are so good because they operate like a machine. It isn't just one guy getting ran into the ground with an insane number of reps. Different players come in and do their part.

So grateful the Chargers didnt draft him 1 pick earlier. Hopefully, looking back in a few years we will be just as thankful that the Chargers didnt draft ______ 1 pick higher. 

And, CMC was on my FF team, along with the NFL MVP. Needless to say, we won it all.

Be honest--how many were (WTF?) when we drafted him?   (I was).

I wasn’t wtf but I was definitely not super excited because I’m opposed to drafting rb’s in the 1st round. He’s done great so I’ve got nothing against the guy and thrilled we have him, but do have concerns about paying any rb  big money.

    • It was a team loss, because it's a team game.  I even admitted so in the above post.  That does not deflect or shield a player or players for their role in that loss. Horn's penalty and Hubbard's fumble were super costly.   What was your intent on starting this thread with an All-22 pass play?  Did you honestly think there would be no controversy around Bryce?  Then go on to say if anyone disagrees they are 100% anti-Bryce.  Really?  I've stated over and over again my position on Bryce.  At this point, he's not the pre-benching '24 Bryce, that guy is largely gone.  However, his ceiling is game manager level for like 80% of his outings, that being middling...10% really good and 10% awful.  That's not my idea of a franchise QB.  The notion that we just have to maximize everything around him to nudge him above game manager level is not only unrealistic, but one sided...literally.  The defense has taken a back seat as a priority on this team, yet we complain about it.  How many die hard NFL fans can name anyone on our defense outside of Brown and Horn?  Heck most fair weather Panthers fan couldn't either.
    • People have genuinely ignored the fact that Horn is having a very underwhelming season overall. The INT's are way up but a lot of the other metrics have not been very kind. He has had a disappointing year overall by his standards.
    • their pass defense is good but not that good.  they are giving up on average 198 yards passing per gamd which is higher than byoungs average per game.  their pass defense is basically the same as the panthers pass d
