What CMC can't do (Get a 1st down on 3rd and 1)

If you give him a crease, CMC will get those tough yards all day long.

CMC is not going to be an effective, bruising RB like Stewart.  We know this.  He's a Swiss army knife.  He's not a hammer.  He CAN run between the tackles with some effectiveness, but he's not the guy who will power his way over dudes on 3rd and 1.  This is like complaining your convertible sucks when you try to put a luggage rack on it.

It's just stupid we drafted him top 10

Teams are stacking the box need a deep threat to open the running lanes.

Stewart for fugs sake was the 13th pick and he was way better in college than McCaffrey

J-Stew and CMC needs to be on the field at the same time this gives you power run or pass option. Shula needs to study the Patriots offense.

No RB is worth a top 10 pick unless you are a true 3 down back that can do everything. People hated me for comparing CMC to Reggie Bush/Theo Riddick/Danny Woodhead, yet that's exactly what he looks like. Not necessarily a waste of a pick, but #8 was WAY too high for a player like CMC tbh

Would you drive a Corvette on a trail head, or would you drive a Jeep? McAffery is the Corvette, Stewart is the Jeep.

I was cursing Shula last week for every 3rd and short situation where Stew wasn't even on the field.  Stupid is Stupid.

What about  stewart getting stuffed on back to back goalline carries... No thread for that?

Take this post and your 6 pieces of pie and fug it because Stewart got tough yards all day long

Anyone who actually thought he would run well between the tackles was only fooling themselves.  Ron and Shula still haven't figured that out.  Get him the ball in space.

If you draft a RB at #8 even if the player is hailed as more of an elusive, pass catching back, I need to know that back can get the first down.

There was a 3rd and 1 on Sunday and we ran it with CMC. Get the first down, no excuses, you get the 1st down on 3rd and 1 if you're a RB if not you suck. 3rd and 1 in NFL for any respectable RB should be a 1st down and seen as a fail if not.

[Hallin'AllDaeDae]

If CMC stops running between tackles and defenses can take that out of the book of things he can do it will be easier to defend him. If defenses know he's going to be mostly catching passes this makes him one dimensional and he'll have to be some kind of receiver to do work when the D knows he's going to be a pass catcher.

Alvin Kamara was the 67th pick and he's at least as good of an NFL player as CMC - probably better

[Shocker]

I am personal thankful we picked CMC.  This offense would look really bad without him.  He has played 2 games.  And he has gotten big first downs in both games.  He isnt the problem.  I think he has a big game this week.
