Can't even replace the production of a 32 year old Steve Smith

Given the defensive gameplans and defensive calls....teams certainly seem to be overly concenred w/ CMC.

CMC isn't a bust and he doesn't suck.  He is the 2nd person game planned for in your offense outside our QB. 

CMC isn't going to shine until our pass attack is respected.....and it was comically disrespected Thursday night. 

Um...do you even Madden brah?  Or is it bruh?  Bro?  Nevermind!

People get caught up in the numbers.  Aren't coaches and players more concerned with the Ws as opposed to their personal stats?  Better to win the Super Bowl than win the Fantasy Pool?

What was our record with Smith playing at that level versus the past few years since then?  With Smith and Cam is was 25-23 (.520) and 0-1 in the playoffs.  Without Smith it's 28-19-1 (.583), 3-2 in the playoffs and a Super Bowl Appearance. 

It's not that I don't love Smith, but I feel like we're playing better as a football team since his departure.  He's not the sole reason, but how can you argue that we are in face better with him when we have been better without?  Then again, I'm an idiot with a keyboard.

I think Cam is at his best w/o a true #1. 

Our issue (and we keep repeating it) is it we continue to allow our offense to miss key ingredients.  What we are witnessing is a repeat of when Ginn went to SF.  Offense was missing a key component and not having the vertical threat impacts all sorts of things.   We acknowledged and fixed.  Then we immediately repeat the same mistake again.

Yet we sucked then.....go figure

OP's right.  Let's go get Julio and Antonio Brown like now!!!!

Our best season with him was his worst.

 Tarik Cohen, Alvin Kamara, Cameron Artis-Payne are better than McCaffrey.

Stopped reading there.

We don't need to replace anything.  We lost 1 game to the best team in the NFC and had multiple chances to win.  So many people on this board overreact after every loss

It's a generation of Madden players.

We need a freak. Is that so hard to understand? Letting Cam throw to a freak. A pass from a freak, to a freak. That's never happened.

We've had a shitty QB to throw to a freak. 

And a freak to throw to shitty WR's ....... but never together, pass from Freak QB to Freak WR

it sucks to be the only team in the league without this freak WR you so highly dream speak of

You know, just like how money grows on trees...

You can't just snap your fingers, and replace 89.

Beyond that discussion. I've gotta be honest, fair or not, we have to start getting real production out of CMC. We used an 8th overall pick on a running back, and Cam had to throw the ball 50+ times on a recovering shoulder while leading the team in rushing. In what universe is this acceptable?
