Stats - Cam and CMC

[ClawOn]

Just some facts here. I don't think 1 speaks to Cam's talent, rather his evident misuse and other well documented problems. 2 speaks to the much discussed promise (or lack thereof to some) of our #8 pick:

1. In the past two seasons,  Cam's 5.32 yards per attempt is worse than Bortles (5.49).

2. McCaffrey is on pace to tie Anquan Boldin's record for most receptions by a rookie in NFL history (101).

The thing about CMC is that I think he has helped raise Cam’s completion percentage but I don’t think we needed to spend a first round pick to do that. We have a game plan in mind this season and, yes, CMC is good but I don’t think he was worth the pick when considering that if we made a conscious effort to change the plan any player in rounds 3-5 could do this.

The stats for McCaffery would be impressive if he was actually a wide receiver and lined up like one instead of catching dump offs/ quick passes out of the back field. Stat padding anyone.

Fun Fact..Cam Newton has more rushing touchdowns (51) than DeMarco Murray (45)...both came into the league in 2011.

Fozzy could lead this team in reception if we force feed him enough times

Fozzy isn't nearly as good as CMC in catching the ball.

Yay we can run screen plays

[Rags]

I really don't get people who simotaniously call CMC (and to a lesser extent, Samuel) a bust while noting our run game woes and offensive struggles as a whole.

Outside of 3 maybe 4 catches this year, every single reception has been rudimentary

 

Shoot his best game this season came against the saints playing prevent defense letting us have the underneath throws  in a blow loss.

doesn't matter when its all 0-5 yard throws

[Darvinsun]

He wasnt worth the top ten pick, but he is decent player just needs more strength.

Why do you guys care if it is a run for 4 or 5 yards or a catch for 4 or 5 yards? If I am the coach I would call designed short passes to CMC every fuging play until the other team adjusts to stopping it.  We move the ball when we use CMC in the passing game. We grind to a hault when we don't -simple as that.

We don't wait for that adjustment to come though, we just stop doing it when it is working. When the other team adjusts, that should help free up a receiver or maybe even take a guy out of the box for stewart, depending on where CMC lines up.

Thats all shula..no matter what playcall is working he will quit using it and try a play call that does not work and use it over and over again..Anybody thinking this man is any good is lost. On top of that guys that looked good during preseason don't even get a chance to play look at CAP..he played better to me than CMC but where is he at not even been activated. We need a spark for someone..throw Clay in the game to lets see what he can provide..it appears we are lost on offense anyway.

Like I've said, CMC is Edelman 2.0. The problem is that Josh McD isn't the one calling plays.

The thing about CMC is I dont see the hype. He does provide Cam some underneath passes but he isnt getting rac. I dont see the shiftyness they were talking about. I dont see the big play potential he was suppose to bring. Granted its his rookie year. Also he is costing us valuable yard on special teams by not far catching the ball at the 40 and letting it bounce to the 15. He isnt playing up to his potential and is playing hesitant I guess due to his size.
