You'd think people would want to support the team and the players on it

I think I'll get started on writing that McCaffrey post now. Stay tuned.

While looking 20 minutes for a good McCaffrey photo to use in my post, I found this.

Feel free to use this beauty as your profile picture.

Truth is Fournette was not even guaranteed to be the starter here unless Stewart got hurt. He really didn't add much to the running back mix. McCaffrey on the other hand was the perfect complement for us. People need to stop looking at players out of context. It isn't who would be the best RB in general but who would be the best one for us. And that guy was McCaffrey particularly when it was likely we were going to have to possibly move up to get Fournette which would have likely cost us Samuel.  And that wasn't happening...

This is what some don't seem to understand.

Fournette may end up being the better running back in the NFL (I personally don't see it), but he wouldn't have been the best running back for this team.

I think your first post here is going to end up being a bust.

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?

Liking Fournette doesn't exclude you from liking CMC as well.

People shouldn't be so dogmatic in general.  They both could turn out to be incredible players.

This is the key.  McCaffrey will be a compliment to Stewart, while Fournette would have been a replacement.  Fournette would keep us in the middle lane while McCaffrey will allow us to change lanes and take the most efficient path to success.

Both should be very good RB's, they are just different.

I made a thread about this near draft day and got slammed for saying basically the same thing. Fournette would not be guaranteed opportunities with Stewart still being a great RB right now. 

I not only agree that CMC compliments Stew but he also provides the possibility of that extra TD. KR and PR for TDs equals an extra 2-3 wins right there.

The only downside is that we do need a true back up to Stewart. Cap hasn't shown he can do that.

If I'm being honest we could live with McCaffrey as the main back and not have a power back. McCaffrey's patience and vision basically gets the same yards as a powerback - if not more. On short yardage, McCaffrey does fine looking for wiggle room and waiting for the best opportunity to rise and lean forward.

Of course, having a power back like Stew only helps us better, but it's not like it's the end of the world if he goes down.
