No he didn’t. He had less than 500 yds rushing, on 3.7 yds per carry and most here were saying that he was a wasted top 10 pick, we should have drafted someone else or that’ Kamara was better

Sounds familiar? We will here more of it after Sunday about Brooks 

He had another 600 yards receiving and showed dynamic playmaking ability... Over 1k from scrimmage as a rookie is pretty good. The concern was he was a RB that couldn't run between the tackles so he couldn't be an every down back.

To the point of limited production on the ground specifically, definitely.

As a rookie CMC had 1058 rush AND receiving yards.   That's not a struggling a rookie.  What was evident, is he needed to gain muscle to be able to run between the tackles as a rookie.  Which I commented on in that post.  He made that correction and 2 years later was a 2k RB with 1000k rushing and 1000k receiving and the hands down best RB in the game.  He did get a lot better, quickly.   

and rookie CMC still managed a better ypc than Jonathan Stewart that year.   We were run heavy.   Running into teams playing the run. 

and Alvin Kamara probably was a better value pick.  He was a half step behind CMC for a 3rd round value.  That's more acknowledging what what a steal Kamara was.

      Kicker

      By TD alt · Posted

      Well, they're both in the same league (if you will). During preseason, Fitz went 3/3 & Sauls went 5/6, but of course Sauls was 4/4 last night (including one 50+). Both were Lou Groza Award finalists. I believe Fitz made two 55+ yarders last season, while Sauls led the nation with three. Fitz was 13/13 (💯) while Sauls was 21/24 (87.5). Fitz was a 3rd-Team AP All-American, while Sauls was a PFF All-American.  Career-wise, Fitz was 58/74 (78.4), while Sauls was 52/64 (81.3). I wish that I could see the attempts and knew the depth of yardage. I wish that we could compare practice kicks during their training camps, but we can't. Maybe someone with a PFF/CFF account can give that Basically it's just a matter of belief I guess. Seeing dude knock down four FGs and go perfect during a pressure-filled game for him is damned impressive if you ask me. I don't believe that Fitzgerald could do that.  That being said, I'd have to know more. I will say that it may be worth mentioning that we seem to like PFF this year and Sauls being a PFF All-American may be notable. Now that being said, the Panthers may not be even considering Sauls.

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      Ive said it 1000x times on here.  Our 2025 season will be dictated by the first 4 games.  poo the bed there and lose all confidence and momentum, we win 5 games maybe.  Go 2-2, 3-1 we got a look at 7/8 wins

      Preseason over..2025 predictions

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I basically made almost the exact predictions on a phone call with a buddy about 3 weeks ago. I really do expect Evero gone before the seasons end, Young to just not able to get over the hump enough and DC to head into next season on a VERY hot seat.
