Twitter Analysis: 50+ GIFs of RB/WR Christian McCaffrey Doing CMC Things

[Saca312]

For those of you interested, I made a 50+ GIF twitter thread on Christian McCaffrey spanning 8 regular college season games. Each contains clips and thoughts that meet the twitter text limit. 

Don't worry. I still plan on making a full-on Christian McCaffrey impact thread later, but I felt that having a foundation of miscellaneous film will help you have a better understanding of who he is as a player.

Here it is:

This is the beginning of said thread. For those of you who are unfamiliar with how this works, you click the twitter link and look at the reply chain that comes along with it. 

Here's some nice samples of what I saw:

Just thought I'd let you know so you can have something to look forward to during this long and tedious off-season.

Number 1 key to a RB is not size, speed, agility... it's vision. This kid has good vision. That first video was meeaannn

CMac has speed, vision, agility and patience. He's a great WR alone but he's back very good HB. Fits us like a glove and I think he has a chance to be an top 5 HB if we can retain Norwell and Turner.

A runner like him makes his o-line good. That's what I love.

Our run game could be scary just McCaffrey alone. But with Stewart, Cam, Samuel, and the options we have, our potential is having one of the league's top tier rushing attacks.

He is a smart player. Hopefully it means he picks up our complicated playbook quickly. I am excited.

Where did all the Fournette deep throaters go? I miss them. Anyone got a list of everyone who said he was our pick? That'd we'd move up to get him? That he leaps tall buildings in a single bound? Helps old ladies cross the street while fighting crime?

Saca, I don't know if you can pull me through the off season or not, but this is a good start.

[Saca312]

The irony is I expect Fournette to do good because of the fact the Jags are willing to scheme around Fournette and are better suited personnel wise for his downhill style of running. Since Bortles sucks and is not the focal point of their offense, they can do that.

With the Panthers, Fournette would suck. He can't cut at the LoS like McCaffrey can and was one of the worst in college from shotgun productivity. If the Panthers tried to revolve their scheme around Fournette, then Cam would be strapped.

That is why McCaffrey is the best pick for the Panthers. I'll write more later.

Yeah, Fournette would suck here.  

Fournette would've beasted in the run game here, before they changed things.  

Post some bull s hit gifs about Fournette not doing well in the Option at LSU.  Even though LSU had nothing at QB.  

The best RB Prospect in years would be trash here..........heard it all.

Here's some facts:

Quote

In 2015-16, Fournette ran out of shotgun on 22.1% of his attempts and averaged an abysmal 3.50 Yards Created/Attempt on such carries. Over the past two years, no running back (other than Fournette) has averaged fewer than 4.0 Yards Created/Attempt out of shotgun.

Here's some facts for your, their offense was trash, and so was their QB situation.

And, you get a beast like Fournette, you predicate that to his strengths.  To take the load of Cam, anyway.  So, there ya go, sir.  

Keep on sucking on the taint of McCaffrey though.

he'll put up better stats because he's actually the starter on his team and not just some gimmicky flash in the pan...

You think McCaffrey is a gimmick? Good lord...
