I dont recall him dropping any passes, ever.  Now, im sure it has happened, but his total drop numbers for his entire career have to be under 5. 

Two according to PFF.... And there was this streak he had of 23 games without one....

We all know the coaching staff proactively sat CMC after his injuries because the previous two seasons were a lost cause. The people with the "he's always hurt" arguments are casual football fans at best.

He got hurt in the 3rd game of the season after having the highest usage in the NFL.  Not much proactive about that.  If they're really being proactive and saving him, why not just sit CMC starting week 1 this year until we see if the team has a shot at the playoffs?

@frankw spent an entire thread arguing with me that it was the same...

Are you this lonely on a Friday bub? It's been established that after 25 years old many RB's begin to break down physically and get bogged down with nagging injuries. There have been some notable exceptions but most of them are from previous eras. You get so angry when presented with the realities of the very real trends related to the running back position the last several years. Yeah I hope McCaffrey miraculously goes on to never miss a game for the next 5 seasons and has a hall of fame career and a Super Bowl MVP with us. But I also want to hit the Powerball so the odds of both are about the same.

That makes zero sense. You clearly don't understand what I was saying. 22 was held out even after he could have returned because the team was not in contention. They were not going to put their franchise RB on the field to take unnecessary hits in meaningless games

Your argument was that he's not always hurt.  He missed those games because he was hurt.  If the season was essentially over by the time he was ready to return, then why didn't he return earlier?  Because he was injured.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
