Derrick Henry is a monster. But unfortunately he's stuck on a team with what has become mediocre coaching and horrible QB play by Ryan Tannehill. I imagine if you swapped him and McCaffrey on the 49ers he would be in MVP talks too.

I don't disagree but CMC is the much better fit for that offense.

Yeah McCaffrey as a receiver is a match-up nightmare. But Shanahan knows how to spread the ball around when it's time. Unlike us through multiple coaches.

Yeah that offense is all about creating impossible matchup scenarios for the defense. Our brass wanted to recreate what the Niners and Dolphins do but they got it backasswards. Those QBs don't look great because they're individually great. They look great because they're surrounded by elite talent in matchup nightmare offensive systems. We thought you could just plug in that type of QB and he'd lift everyone up. No. Those QBs are the ones being lifted up.

    • He is "Keep Pounding." https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45498715/nfl-carolina-panthers-chuba-hubbard-olympics-flag-football-track
    • This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one. 
    • I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.
