Is the CMC experiment over?

Look up our yardage from the game, cross reference with CMC’s yardage. Account for the fact everyone puts a “spy”(mandatory shadow) on CMC, taking their defensive numbers in strategy down to 10. Look at the tape when he’s blocking for the past 3 or so years. 
 

I’ll give you a hint. Vs. the Jets we had 381 offensive yards, CMC accounted for 187 of them. 

When your running back has half your yardage totals, its usually not a good thing.  Against the Eagles, we had about 280 yards.  Hubbard accounted for 134 of them.  Not criticizing CMC or complimenting Hubbard, but I am not so sure CMC makes much of a difference.  Our offense was not good against the Jets.

To be fair they CMC had 53 more yards on 1 more touch and he has a spy all the time so he opens it up for our WR . So that is a big difference

We have had to learn to adjust. And the fact is, we shouldn't be using CMC as a crutch anyway. After this experience with him playing so little, and getting hurt (possibly from overuse), I'm of the opinion that you shouldn't overpay RBs because the nature of the position lends itself to injuries. 

We probably won't trade him, but we probably should. And I love CMC, but the truth is his situation is not good for a team that's rebuilding and trying to establish an offensive identity (beginning with the need for a franchise QB). He masks a multitude of sins, and we need a QB, not an RB, who is the face of the franchise.

How many games has he played in the last two seasons? Now that's a stat I can really sink my teeth into. 

Yeah, well... WHEN and if he's in there that's the only time this team seems to have a legitimate chance to win. That's the "meat" of it, unfortunately.

I meant the fact you said everyone is going to try to injure him or you just in the..

    • Smitty is a legendary footballer player but this has really damaged his reputation as a person. You don’t cheat on a woman who has been with you through everything and gave you children and especially not with another man’s wife. He doesn’t even have any remorse about it, acting like nothing happened.
    • That's a big ass center! Is there any center in the NFL that weighs 320 lbs? Also, we drafted a center last season. Not sure this guy is a center even if he took reps at the senior bowl. Looks like a guard to me unless his build is better suited to a lesser weight. In a zone scheme centers need to be able to move quickly. 
    • The majority of NFL draft picks don't play all too many snaps lined up directly across from another NFL player, and I don't think many people really realize this. Unless you play a game against one of the 2-4 schools that are putting half their lineup into the NFL each season, most teams who have multiple draft picks, MIGHT only have 2-4 draft picks in any given season. Some skill positions get around 30 players drafted each year, other positions are in the teens to low 20's.  With at least a handful of them coming from non power conference schools too.  So the odds for any WR or CB to get too many games lined up directly against another future draft pick is pretty low. The better odds are that they get lined up against a future NFL player, i.e. a junior or senior WR getting lined up against a freshman or sophomore DB who will get drafted in a couple of years. Then if you take it one step further and look for players who actually play in the NFL and make a difference.   You're basically looking at players drafted in the first 3 rounds of the draft, so a little less than 100 players a year, spread out across all the positions and conferences (which in today's massive conferences, teams have even lower odds of player the teams with more NFL players than ever before).
