CMC is not a RB...he is a WR

Yea I can't defend his running struggles any  longer. Even with how bad the oline was Stewart had a few good carries today. McCaffrey got stoned on every single one and that's been a trend for 99 percent of his runs. God only knows Shula isn't helping him with all of his runs being inside runs, but even factoring in the piss poor playcalling and runblocking, McCaffrey is still been stinking up the joint running. He's always getting stopped by the first defender that gets his hands on him and that's a huge no-no for even mediocre running backs.

On his first run he got tackled by a guy on the ground with one hand.

He's a good football player. I just think we need to invest in a better offensive line to make the most of him. He needs to get into the second level to make a difference. Our offense as a hole... We do lots of things but nothing particularly well. I would settle for doing one things really well right now. Even if that was Stewart up the middle for 3 yards.

He's the least of our worries at the moment.

Agreed. Out biggest worry (at least on offense) is our mediocre offensive line. The RB's don't have a lot of room to operate and Cam is still getting hit too much. Factor in Shula's suspect/inconsistent playing calling and that's a recipe for disaster on the offensive side of the ball.  

We lost a game a game by 2 TD's today and the defense only up 3 points.That sums up just how bad our offense played today. Then again, under this coaching staff we lost a SB to a Denver team that gained less than 200 yds for the entire game.

You guys are putting too much stock into this WR thing. What makes him dynamic is getting him lined up on LBs. If he's at receiver, he's gonna have a corner on him most plays, which takes away his advantage. He has to play RB to be a successful receiver. The problem is, when he's in the game, it's pretty much going to be a pass, because no one respects him as a runner.

exactly. so in limens terms, he's too bad to be a Wr and too bad to be a RB. 8th over though!

Its hard to tell what he is given how poo Shula is and the line.

it's really not.

Shula aside CMC has had plenty of opportunities to make people miss in space or show off his speed. He's done neither. 

CMC isn't faster than anyone, and i think today might have been the first player he made miss. 

He doesn't pass the eyeball test at all.

Just speaking in a stastical sense, when was the last time there was a successful white RB? Hillis had a good season or two, then you’d probably have to go back to Alstott (more of a FB). Then after that —  Czonka or Riggins? He’s got a serious recent trend to buck.
