Can we discuss this guy...interested in posters views.  Personally, I cannot even fathom passing on him, but still he is a RB and injuries are a concern.  We have other needs that are probably more important as well.  I also like Christian McCafferry and his running style (esp if we keep Stew).  Not sure 100% on whether we should use 8 on him.  Should we pass on him if avail and go pass rusher\move down\other need?

Thoughts bitoches.

As far as injuries go he will not have as many touches in the NFL he was way over used they literally jump on his back and carried that team and they still couldn't stop him. Now last season was not as impressive as his last cause he was play hurt all year.
I think he is a player you have to fight to get even if that means trading up to get we have the picks to do it and still have plenty of picks left or shift a mid round pick next year. If the cb drops to the jets I think they will go defense.
What would it take to trade to the 2nd or 3rd spot?

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I wrote a long dissertation on who they would pick, breaking down the draft by needs and player availability and concluded (at that time) that we would go WR in the first.  Being right is humbling and dignifying.  I predicted that the Panthers would draft Matthew Golden.

      First of all, DJ had 788 yards as a rookie And second, KB was playing with Cam the year before he won MVP, and while Olsen had the exact same 1,008 yards as KB that year, next on the list was Cotchery with 580 and then 4th was Philly Brown with 296. KB had 73 receptions on 146 targets that year, THAT'S why he had 1k+ yards, not because he was some dominant WR, there were no other WR options on that team at all. If you say Thielen and Olsen are somewhat equal, particularly in role and ability, then XL/Coker >>>>>> Cotchery/Brown. Yes, T-Mac very well could get there, and this isn't me hedging on the ability of my guy.  It's that we should in theory have a lot of good receiving options and in his rookie year, I can see how T-Mac can have a good season but still not get to 1k this year because of it. In year 2 when we lose Thielen and he has that year under his belt, then yea, I'll say right now, I'm expecting a 1,200 yard season at minimum from him in 2026.  But I just think expecting 1k this first year given the weapons we have and being a run first offense, isn't fair to T-Mac. Again, just look at MHJ for what an uber talented rookie is likely to do when there is another legit receiving option there.  Nabers and BTJ were the only games in town for them last year, Puka the year before had a lot of time as the only option there while Kupp was hurt. If that happens to us next year with Thielen/XL/Coker, then yea, I'll then say T-Mac should get that 1k mark, but I'm not going to make my expectations based on expecting injuries.
