Three touchdowns, one rushing, one receiving and one passing. He’s responsible for all but three of the 49ers 24 points so far.

I agreed with the trade, and still do, but McCaffrey in a Shanahan offense is a nightmare for opposing defenses.

Yeah he's not why we lost today, he never whined about how we used him, we got a good return on the trade. Good for both parties

I'm curious to see if he will make it all season healthy being used like that as well.  The man definitely has some mileage on him....

The trade was a win-win-win scenario. Win for the Panthers getting trade capital in a rebuild and making opportunities to better develop their other offensive playmakers. Win for the 49ers getting an otherworldly talent and having the coaches to make the most of his abilities. Win for my fantasy football team that drafted McCaffrey with the first pick. Everyone comes out on top.

Y'all do know that a trade can be a win-win for each team involved right? We all knew he was going to go ape sh*t with Shanahan and his RB friendly scheme. But I'm still happy with our draft compensation. Only thing is you've made it to where you'll have to deal with the 49ers for the foreseeable future if you want a shot at a superbowl because you traded him within your conference lol

hahaha damn and we thought the panthers overused him.

I'm not at all surprised Shanahan is getting this production out of him that's why he's one of the most successful young coaches. But he definitely won't last the season when he is leading the team in touches by a mile. Seen this story before. Eventually you need other playmakers. This stuff is great for his fanboys but they likely aren't winning a Super Bowl running an offense that way.

McAdoo isn’t perfect but hes been better without Rhule in charge.

It would have been nice to see him under these new circumstances, but hey…

I don’t we would have gotten a better deal from an AFC team

I said the same about the trade.  Despite his unique talents, he is still primarily a RB, snd eventually they fall off a cliff, they rarely ever continue producing at a high level into a third contract, and we honestly had lost how to use him properly under Rhule and McAdoodoo.  And then there was the possibility that his body already is or will be breaking down soon, as most RBs do.  So, it was best to get value and move on.

I also said seeing him in Shanahan's offense was going good be insane, and it only took a little over a week to come to fruition.  It's fun to see it, but it also hurts a little knowing what could've been.  But I still think RB is just not a position to prioritize unless you feel it's the one big missing piece to get you over the hump - as Foreman has shown, RB production is also easily replaced, regardless of who they're replacing, even if it doesn't quite look the same.  

So yeah, a part of me misses seeing CMC at his best like this, but it was the best move for the long-term.

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      By Saca312 · Posted

      It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

      CBS Sports brief discussion about questionable Canales decision making

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
