Why is McCaffrey still running the ball at the end?

Chuba just needs to build some confidence but if we keep running our best weapon like this he was a wasted pick.

He didn’t want to come out, he wanted 100 yards rushing. Chuba is learning from the best RB in the NFL on how to be a professional on and off the field. At least he’s not a freaking panzy like Kamara, who avoids contact by running out of bounds a yard short on 3rd down.

I can agree with that but I don't think CMC cares about the numbers he wanted to seal the win and he did so convincingly. But we also have to know when to protect our best asset from himself see Cam Newton.

Think Kamara did that to preserve the clock late in the game. Couldn't say for sure but is possible.

I am fully capable of finding stuff to whine about without Rhule's assistance.

Maybe CMC is on Rhules fantasy team also.  Lol.  

I get it though.. I would prefer letting him rest up in this situation.  Anyways, happy for the win against the saints!!

Preserve the clock to punt? He could’ve had a first down with just a minimal amount of effort, but hey we’re losing so why put myself in harms way.

Because he’s not a pussie like Kamara?

If we're talking about the same play it was the last few minutes of the game. You don't punt down by multiple scores late in the 4th, you go for it. You're not going to win, but punting makes zero sense in the context of even pretending to try to win the game. Hence it would make at least some sense for Kamara to go out of bounds in that situation. Not a lot, but some. The point is there's a plausible reason other than cowardice.

Holy poo man, he literally strolled out of bounds. I’m not sure what play you’re thinking of, but it doesn’t matter because it’s not like they’re driving for the game winning score with 10 seconds left.
