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.

    • All I heard was uber rides, weight trainers, and t shirts??? Maybe some meals too........ What a monster and he should be tossed in a rusty wood chipper!!!1!11!!!!!  
    • This is from 5 months ago. It was one or the other. Trade for one or draft one. We apparently called the Jets about Wilson. We also talked to the Seahawks about Metcalf. Drafting our own guy was the best course of action given the required investment. Regardless now is the time for Bryce Young to produce. We are fourth amongst all teams in cap spending on the OL. Back to back first round picks at WR and multiple young TE draft picks now. Very solid and respectable backfield. New pieces across the defense. The time is now.
    • That was just the worst time to have their worst game of the season. One key deal was the broncos guess the Panthers would NOT change any plays or flow to the game. Another key point overlook that bronco defense was truly one of the best in the NFL history. It was the best defense the Panthers faced that year, by far. They were not ready for it, but broncos were ready for the Panthers. Mix in that bad luck, poor refs showcase, and this is the golden boys last game........ Panthers needed to win by 20 and the broncos defense was not going to allow that.  Panthers were the favorites and I believe they also thought that it was going to easier than them destroying NFC playoff teams as they marched to the SB. I've heard darin Gantt say the play calls were to give remmers help, but for some reason the team never did it. During the year they never had that problem, so maybe never practiced giving help via TE/RB, or WR chip. Cam was superman that year, no need for any adjustments...... Until you meet a legendary defense with studs at all levels, Think about it, Peyton was throwing wingless dunks for the whole season, the defense had to carry his corpse to the SB. That's how good they were, not many defense are able to get to the playoffs and win a SB without decent QB play. If you recall the beginning of that defense took Tim Teblows and his non-throwing arse to the playoffs couple years before. That's insane the level of defense needed to overcome.
