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.

    • Say you don't understand PFF without saying you don't understand PFF... Every week seems like some of the same people are complaining about something they clearly don't understand.  I'm not saying they are the end all resource out there but once you understand their methodology you can start to appreciate some of their work. For example, their grading system isn't a high school grading system, try to look at some of it in relative terms.  Rico had an 82 rushing grade, that's pretty good.  I would be curious to know how that compares to every other running back this past weekend. Also, I think he had a few penalties, which if I'm not mistaken are graded pretty harshly.      
    • Can we go back to square one for a minute and remember what we paid for this guy and how he was sold?  He was like, the anti excuse. Makes everybody better, Did we get that?  I think the answer is still coming but so far you might can say that for a game or two.  Cam had issues with personnel every season almost. Horrible OL, but he had receivers. Decent to good OL no receivers. Etc. Bryce needs to stand up, or keep standing up, however you want to put it. It is big boy time in year 3. He doesn’t have to make the playoffs but there is a standard. We’ll see what happens.  But the excuses are just fuging tired.  ps, I mean let’s not crown him when he has franchise record production in two wins,.. let’s see when they stop that, how he does then. 
    • Where do you draw line top3 or top 5 money then? I wish he goes for a "hometown" deal and doesn't try and reset market but it's going to be tough to argue not paying him BIG MONEY if he continues do be a stabilizing force on the left side of line. DM got some tough decisions to make at the OT position coming up.
