SI.com's Andy Benoit on McCaffrey

[Snake]

If you watched any of the later Panthers games last year you could see Shula and Cam switch to a EP system like the Pats use. The Panthers know two things from the last two year, one is that the refs are not going to protect Cam, and two our division rivals have invested in quick pass rush to stop the Panthers AC system. McCaffrey helps us switch to this system and if you think KB and Funchess are not set up to do this you don't watch the Panthers.

I wonder if the Panthers watched any film on McCaffery before taking him at 8 (rhetorical question)? Christian McCaffery didnt fall from the sky last night. I am sure they are aware of his skill set and how he will help our offense and QB. Drafting Christian dictates a different approach for our offense, something Rivera alluded to at the end of the season.  If Shula can't make it work, then he will be gone.

"McCaffrey is Carolina’s only quick skill player. Essentially he’s a sports car that’s about to go off-roading with a fleet of trucks."

Fleet of trucks.... Hmmm... I like it.
