Has a good shot to eclipse Steve Young as #2 all time in 2nd half of this season. AND its only year 7 for Cam!!  Dude should finish by far and away as the best running QB ever if he plays about 15 - 16 seasons  

* #1 for QB with Rushing TDs, and #69 all time rush TDS  with 51 

Julius Peppers 

#4 all time in total sacks , great! Should be our first drafted Panther in the HoF eventually

I find it interesting that McCaffrey has been very underwhelming rushing and many are complaining about him not getting much after the catch receiving, yet still he is leading the team in total yards gained and total receptions.

I'll admit I thought he would have a couple break-away runs by now.  But he has definitely been productive considering the circumstances.  People just expected way too much since we picked him at 8.  Football is still a team game, and it takes the whole offense functioning well for statistical stars to emerge.

yea looking at the stats, absolutely no one is doing well stats wise. Which is probably more of a reflection of the coaching and the playcalls when literally none of your offense players are having consistent success .

Without Cam's rushing yardage we'd be tm ranked 30th in the NFL in rushing yardage. We're 29th in the league in yards per attempt. 

Our running game efficiency is hot trash.

fixed. I have no problem with CMC but if you can't admit (as of now, hopefully changes soon or next year) that he's disappointed as a top 10 pick...

I'll put it a different way, Cam is still playing at an MVP level because he is literally our entire offense.  We just need him to cut down on the turnovers, but that's easier said than done when you're legitimately 85-90% of the offense.

He played at his MVP level against the Pats and Lions. He's definitely missing some reads though and he's definitely trying to force the ball downfield at times, likely because he's frustrated about our lack of big plays.
