McCaffrey vs Thomas

[t96]

McCaffrey:

2,392 total yards

19 total touchdowns

115 first downs

81.7% catch rate

 

Thomas:

1,716 total yards

9 total touchdowns

91 first downs

80.5% catch rate

 

 

Where does Thomas beat McCaffrey other than receptions (which mean nothing)? How in the world could these people vote for Thomas over McCaffrey? It’s unjustifiable. You could argue Lamar for OPOY, sure. But Thomas over McCaffrey just makes no sense.

It’s because CMC is white. People still don’t want to believe that a “white” running back can be that great.

The Saints went 13-3 and we went 5-11. That shouldn't matter in an individual award but somehow it still does. You rarely see guys from bad teams winning these things.

Dont worry, those numbers will matter when it comes to Mccaffrey's extension! Marty itching to give that money.

I get Lamar had a great season but he barely threw for 3k yards...in a passing league I get it he ran for 1200 but still. Kyle Allen threw for more yards in 2 less games lol.

But anyways onto the topic at hand yea McCaffery was robbed and 100% deserving of OPOY. The only reason we didn't go 0-16 actually

Usually the best candidates for the award are in the playoffs, that’s just natural. And sure that’s fine to look at if the stats are at least somewhat close. But McC has nearly 700 more yards and over twice as many TDs. It’s just not even close at all. And that’s with McC doing it all by himself in an archaic offense and poor OL compared to Thomas with offensive mastermind Payton, HoFer Brees and an elite OL... It’s unfathomable. 

I’d be completely fine if Lamar won it over McC, he has a case. But comparing these two, it’s just silly that Thomas even received a single vote over McC.

Racism works both ways. McCaffrey is a white running back. He will never get the credit he deserves. Just look at how stupid Booger and Kellerman sounded talking with Cmc the other day. Saquon and Zeke have never had a season even remotely close to what McCaffery accomplished and they were straight disrespecting him to his face.

If either zeke or saquon had Cmc’s season even with a losing record they would have run away with Opoty and Potentially MVP. Marshall Faulk who was the most recent 1000 / 1000 won an MVP and Opoty.

Ultimately despite some great performances from McCaffrey the Panthers were just getting taken to the woodshed too frequently. We finished the season on an 8 game losing streak. Eight. Games. It's not difficult to imagine why even CMC is being overlooked when there were so many more competitive teams than us and some that didn't even make the playoffs.

Lamar did lead the league in passing TDs though so it wasn’t just his rushing that got him MVP... He was dominant. And with some suspect weapons around him (probably better than Cam’s in 2015 but not by a lot...).

If you’re talking about MVP, yes that is all valid, since that’s about value and ultimately value is how you contribute to your team winning games. But for straight up OPOY none of that should matter one bit. What if you have a top 5 offense and a guy like McC is putting up crazy numbers like this and dominating, but your D is the worst in the history of the league and your team has very few wins? The results of the team (which includes defense) should have zero bearing on offensive player of the year.

Thomas has the right complexion Cmc is part of the anti-trump movement lol

Christian made the all pro team at 2 positions. He gets tons of credit.

[GoPanthers123]

CMC got robbed for sure.  It may be the team final record or something else, bottom line his individual production was statistically better.
