Yeah I watched Faulk's A Football Life documentary and its crazy how many times he was told he was too small to play RB in college and again before he got on an NFL field. 

 

I just watched the football life on Curtis Samuel last night. Had it stored on the DVR but never cared enough to watch until Gettleman said McCaffrey was the best instinctual runner or something like that since Curtis Samuel who was the best he had ever seen.

Needless to say Samuel tore it up his rookie year and helped take the Pats to the Superbowl and was an obvious favorite of Parcells, who he eventually followed to the Jets.

Sounds like the ultimate weapon to me if he's good. All he's missing is power to churn out short yardage and goal line, not sure if he NEEDS it but it would make him a little more complete . If not we'll probably still need to get a power back in 2 years unless we just use Armah for that role. 

On the matter of power and short yardage runs, we have to remember that even though we drafted McCaffrey, we still have the incredibly talented J-Stew. At 2nd down and goal from the 1-yard line, if we have Cam, Stewart and McCaffrey in the backfield, how do you defend it?

Completely barring the possibility of passes to Olsen and Benjamin, of course.

You mean Curtis Martin x.x I was both excited and confused when I read this the first time lol . This is the same guy Gettleman was comparing McCaffrey to in that first draft presser.
