Interesting: Former CAR RB Mike Davis Harshly Criticizes McCaffrey, Calls Him "Selfish as Poo"

I came across an interesting and rather unusual take from former Panthers running back Mike Davis about his ex-teammate Christian McCaffrey. On the “Raw Room” podcast, Davis described his time in Carolina playing behind McCaffrey as a “blessing” overall. But then the tone switched as he threw in this sharply worded critique: McCaffrey was “selfish as hell” for how much playing time he hogged.

Don't believe me? Here’s what Davis specifically said:

Quote

 

“I thought it was selfish as hell. I thought it was so selfish… Have you ever seen a motherf‑ker get the ball six times in a row?”

 

He recalled how even when McCaffrey had a bruised foot, Davis expected to see some action—only to watch McCaffrey stay on the field the entire game.

He keeps piling on and on, just flabberghasted at McCaffrey's selfishness for staying in the game despite his touched.

Quite the interesting podcast, lol. Here's the article as reference:

Hmmm... Maybe he is right, but just reading your comment (I didn't listen to the podcast) makes it sound like Davis is upset he didn't touch the ball. Honestly, our coaching staff relied on CMC so much his last two to three years, it may not have only been CMC wanting to stay on. And while getting the ball six times in a row can be unusual, CMC was the rare player that was both the best running back and receiver on the team...

I just think that speaks to CMC wanting to win and knowing that he was the best offensive player on the field for us. I still envision a parallel universe where Stanford didn't run CMC into the ground and he stays healthy for us his entire time playing for us.

Meh. Some guys are three-down backs. Hell, that's really how it always used to be. CMC was a special back (when he was on the field). Ironically his body has afforded others plenty of playing time, no matter how "selfish"of can he was/is.

Damned typos. That used to rarely happen before the age of the Internet. I should probably give it five minutes after awakening from my slumber. poo, that won't probably help either.

what I took most from that interview in general….is I don’t think I would actually like Mike Davis.  

at one point the hosts on the show basically called him out that he dislikes everyone 

Mike Davis actually seems like the bad teammate who seemed genuinely confused about why he would need to do basic work if he had played well

I mean...he was the starter and on passing 3rd downs, I think I would want CMC coming out of the backfield. 

The only issue I ever had with CMC was those short yardage downs when they sent him up the middle.

There's a bizarre fondness the fanbase has for CMC, but I was absolutely thrilled when we got rid of him and still maintain that, at face value, we absolutely fleeced the 49ers on the trade, especially if Bryce Young pans out.  They got what we had.  Someone who was great in stretches followed by long stretches of injury.

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

      By Icege · Posted

      You don't have to go through every game and point it out as we are discussing his GWDs. You specifically called out that he had GWDs because he is the reason the team is always playing from behind. We looked at those eight games and only Miami stands out as one where he put the team in a hole to begin with. You've added the Atlanta game where the team didn't score a TD but only kicked field goals. You're not trying to change what we're discussing to fit your feelings re: Bryce. That's not necessary. We are discussing GWDs per the thread topic. We have also shown that your opinion that the team has had to always come back due to Bryce was proven to be false as was the claim that "minus one game" was his fault. Appealing to emotion afterwards by trying to broadly paint the rest of the losses in the same way just doesn't work. Where in the Hell did you get that the entire point is the suggestion that BY is more clutch than Jake and/or Cam? It's giving something to be positive about in that Bryce has shown the ability to comeback and win games despite the calamity that might have taken place to put them behind to begin with. How is that blasphemy?

      Ikem Ekwonu is slated to GET PAID

      His run blocking is making up for his negatives in pass blocking right now.  He’ll still have pass blocking hiccups, but if they think he’s a critical part to the locker room and team construction, you probably re-sign him and try not to overpay.

      Callahan is gone McDaniel and Taylor are happening Stefanski is a growing possibility. I mean, they need to get an offense going eventually.  Could see Morris as a surprise one.
