CMC haters...get in here and bring your fork

[electro's horse]

my favorite thing about CMC is how low the bar has been moved at this point

to start the season anything less than rookie of the year was unthinkable and i was a troll for suggesting otherwise

now he might put up a nick goings esque season and all the "haters" have been proven wrong

what a joke

Still waiting for any post from you even resembling reality.

In the grand scheme of things, he had a decent game. Objectively speaking, he didn't cracking 100 yards in the receiving or rushing catagory , but then again he only got 5 catches and 15 carries. These backs that are getting 100 yards rushing with regularity usually get 20+ carries a game, and alot of times 30+  and CMac doesn't even sniff that many carries. I'm quite curious to see what he would achieve with the same workload as Leveon Bell or Zeke . 

In terms of his past piss poor rushing performances, just compared to that then yea it was really good.

38 yards on 7 touches? 

Lol.

Stop.

As a runner, he looked like he did at Stanford and was far more confident. Ran between the tackles on most of his carries and forced a couple of missed tackles.

Yes, he's doing far better than he did a few weeks ago.

still waiting on him to have 100 yard rushing game.. he may not get one this season unless he gets 20+ carries , which its hard to see happening. He did get 15 carries today though. 

I'm really wondering what the coaches are thinking about stew now. I saw mccaffrey lined up as the RB much more than the previous games, and he was even back there late in the game and to close the game. Not sure if it was just punishing stew for a piss poor performance, or them actually realizing our offense flows better with McCaffrey in the game instead.

I’ll take some of that Lattimore in the first and cook in the 2nd. Fill my plate up with that combo.

4.7 YPT is decent. I know yall are just dying to justify the pick, but come on lol. 20 touches for 94 yards and it's a crow thread?

The telling quote from the broadcast today was Aikman saying Cam said he knew they'd draft McCaffery when Richardson had him over to his house during a predraft visit. Jerry saw a fair skinned player with no tattoos and upside playing in Charlotte and got dollar signs in his eyes.

I think he'll be a useful player, honestly. Still, taking a RB at #8 is almost always a less than great decision.

Yeah but it's in the context of a gimmick player who's not useful for more than 5-7 touches a game.

like who cares. there are tons of third down backs and slot receivers in the league. 

but at this point its become religion. like i wish the huddle was around in the late nineties so we could see how long people would go to bat for jason peters or rashard anderson. 

hell, judging from the greg hardy threads, I guarantee you'd have people calling cherica adams a dumb slut who had it coming, so long as no one criticizes someone in a panthers jersey

Whatever the case, it's hard to deny that he's not improving and has been consistently a big reason our offense isn't flopping over dead.

I like him and wouldn't want it any other way. He's consistently improving and changing our offense, which is why we drafted him in the first place.

Value for teams is subjective and different for each and every franchise. I consider anyone who improves the team in some way dramatically in the first few rounds to be great picks.

CMC doesn't get the individual stats, but he's dramatically changed our offense. I think it's a win in my book, and I could care less about anything else.

Just like with Star Lotulelei on the defensive side. He may not get the sacks or big stats, but he forces offenses to adjust and account for his ability as a monstrous defensive tackle. 

Christian McCaffrey forces defenses to respect his receiving ability, and pretty soon his running ability after today's performance. He gives Cam an outlet he's never had and is very reliable. Exactly what the offense needed.

lol the panthers offense isn't dead? flopping would be an upgrade for it. at least it would show signs of life. 

again, the panthers only two good offensive performances came when cmc did the least. 

he's part of the problem but saca is here to spam cherry picked gifs, and even in the one he finds cmc doesn't make the right read and cuts into the middle of the field for some stupid reason. probably because he still thinks hes in the pac 12

Precisely. A 32 YO Darren Sproles averaged over 6 YPT last season. Kamara is averaging 7.3 YPT. A RB that catches the ball as much as he does should be well over 5 YPT. Well over. Every game.
