Move CMC to slot receiver in 2022

He won’t be nearly as a effective. People overrate just receiving skills cause he gets covered by LB the majority of time, when teams put nickel backs on him he gets shutdown. 
 

I seriously think he needs to lose some muscle, dude is a naturally 200 pounds, but has ballooned up to 210 maybe 215. Put him at slot and take a major cut on his contract

This just isn’t true. Scouts said during the draft CMC was one of the best pure route runners on the board. It was a big deal because he’s a running back. Of course he wouldn’t be cooking linebackers all game, but you’re crazy to think some of these bum nickels would shut him down. Just look at the panthers over the past few seasons (prior to this year), you’re telling me playing a team like that CMC is getting shut down by some of these career JAGs? Come on now.

He is done as a running back. He will never have a healthy season there again.

 

As a slot receiver he could still be a dangerous weapon and also has a much better chance of staying healthy. 

He’s not a slot wr , he’s either a rb or trade him. He would be done by the time he took the first blind hit across the middle. Or if you ask him to block down on a lb or de doubt that ankle would hold up. I don’t think CMC wants to play slot wr either because he has said since High School that he sees his self as a RB first.

We are shelfing him so he is healthy for an offseason trade to the Texans or Eagles. Mark my words.

Your on to something because he could have played the last 3 games last year and they are keeping him on the sideline at the end of this season as well. The good thing about this is the team is planning on losing the rest of the season

How many games do you think he could play if we weren’t shelving him because we’re out of it again?

I think he could play the last 5 games but fir sure 4 games

I'd rather find a way for him to be someone else's HoF caliber player who never plays because he's always hurt.

[FugginPoo]

He should be ised the way Darren Sproles was

This has been the correct way to use CMC the entire time he’s been in the league. The only reason he’s been able to be a RB in this league is bc he is just that freakin talented. He’s literally able to excel at a position that his body isn’t meant for….put him at his natural position before his career is completely wasted.

I don’t care what scouts say, theirs ton of nfl tape for proof. Just look at last week WSH put some DB on him on that last play and he got zero separation. You will be hard press to find a bunch of clips of Mccaffrey burning DBs.

His receiving skills make him elite at RB when healthy but not at slot wr.

It’s not his body , Warrick Dunn weighed 185 lbs . He is just injury prone and we gave a big contract to the running back but forgot to build the o line around him and instead went defense in the drafts hoping he could make the poo line look better than they were which has came back to haunt us these last 2 years. I don’t think a power back would have lasted behind this line either because they would been hit in the backfield a lot more than CMC who has made a lot of guy miss him

This is why you don't pay RBs... 

[Vagrant]

CMC is like crack to everyone in his orbit. if he's out there on the field, everyone wants the ball in his hands because he makes things happen. he's so good at what he does that it's dangerous for him. he has never had a coach with the self control to put him on a pitch count and stick to it.  

honestly though, it's like his "problem" is the same as Luke's problem. they are full effort on every snap and have no instinct of self-preservation. the level of performance they demand from themselves forces their bodies to give up because they're mentally relentless on it.

One of my requirements for GM and HC moving forward is that they not have interest in drafting a RB in the first two rounds ever. Short career when they do stay healthy and easily replaced. I don’t want us to draft a RB in the 1st ever again. I don’t care if he looks like the next Ladainian Tomlinson. Never. Again.
