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

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.

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. 

Can't disagree.

Career high 547 rushing yards, so still not great in the “running” back sense.

Woodhead’s high-water mark of ~1000 rushing/receiving is probably about the best one can hope for, IMO.

What is concerning is the mental mistakes he's making. He's missed blocking assignments and misjudged punt returns more than once just in this game alone. 

Also, once players get his hands on him, the play is over.  Tarik Cohen has made just as big of an impact for his team than McCaffrey has. And Cohen was a 4th rounder

Well now we still have a need at drafting an actual running back that breaks tackles and runs much better.

We coulda drafted Derrick Henry with that wasted pick on Vernon Butler in 2016 draft, and draft OJ Howard this draft, probably would've been looking pretty nice by now.  Titans had the right idea with two Heismann winners in the backfield.

I like the CMC pick should have picked Hunter Henry back in 2016.

I'm not saying he's useless to the team or anything. But so far, he's been a very poor RB and a halfway decent slot WR change  of pace player, something you'd expect out of a 3rd to 5th rounder. 
 

To his credit he's on a team with a dysfunctional oline and a terrible HC/OC combo to start his career with. I won't judge him that hard until he's played 2 seasons. But the early signs are pretty disappointing. Even if the Panthers give up on him in 2-3 seasons , he'll get some chances on other teams most likely since he's just great at catching anything.

Guy runs good routes and has good hands. He is not build to be a RB in this league. Have him tear up the middle of the field and be that 'guy' we don't have. Cam will have to learn how to use him and it would help with the crap Oline as a quick outlet. Shula is probably the problem with this idea. Give A.P a shot with Stewart. If I can see this why can't the coaches?

 

Considering stewert is just as unproductive running at least Christian Mccaffrey catches screens (not juggles them into a pic 6 i.e Samuel/Stewert). I don’t know whether it’s the o-line, Shulas idiotically predictable run into the wall approach,  or our lack of a truely explosive back I.e fournette/Jordan Howard. But I suppose that’s left up to the players not performing or the staff  but we need to get it together because the NFC is wide open in my opinion with the saints, eagles, Seahawks possibly being the biggest threats

Who would you had rathered us pick?

He is no better than Whitaker, that's what he is.  Its not his fault we drafted him so high, and I know he is trying hard, but he was absolutley a wasted pick.

Marshon Lattimore is already playing like an All-Pro for the Saints and they got Alvin Kamara in the 3rd

If he's a WR then his YPR is pretty pitiful.

How dumb is this???

RB's operating out of the backfield run completely different route trees than WR's (read shallower). Also, it would help if his QB would occasionally hit him in stride (pipe dream).

I think that it has to do with O-line being crappy and shula's idiotic play design not really the predictable approach.  When I heard the phrase "Akiem Hicks shed the block by Manhertz" yesterday I swear I wanted to punch a baby in the face.  It's becoming way to apparent that Shula makes the most retarded blocking schemes I've ever seen.  If everyone does exactly what is planned and over exceeds their given abilities, then the result will be a 3-4 yard gain.  THIS is why Shula has to go more than anything.

CMC defenders have remarkably crafted a universe where he is both a rb and receiver, yet can’t be judged as one because he’s the other. 

Sure. There are things that aren’t going great. But at some point doesn’t cmc have to do.....something?

im getting a real armanti vibe from cmc, in the “this dude doesn’t belong” sense.
