Rookie running backs since the Huddle started

We all know how awful CMC is (thanks Electro!), but just for shtis and giggles, I decided to compare him to our last three rookie running backs.  Granted, he was taken higher in the draft, but these are our four guys who have gotten significant playing time in their rookie season.

I've extrapolated CMC's numbers to what the full season may look like based on his production to date.  And it should be noted that his return yards are mainly punts while DeAngelo's and Stew's are KO returns, which are typically higher, but since that makes CMC look worse by comparison I left it as-is.  Couldn't find any first down data, so if anyone can and wants to add it that would be great. 

                             Rushing                 Receiving
                    Rush   Yards   Avg   TDs   Rec.   Yards   Avg   Catch %  TDs   Fum   Ret Yds   Tot Yds
Deshaun Foster       113    429    3.8     0    26     207    8.0    74.3%    2     3       0         636
DeAngelo Williams    121    501    4.1     1    33     313    9.5    91.7%    1     1   623 (19.5)  1,437
Jonathan Stewart     184    836    4.5    10     8      47    5.9    47.1%    0     2   349 (23.3)  1,232
Christian McCaffrey  111    390    3.5     3    86     681    7.9    70.2%    4     3   320  (8.7)  1,391

Commence to pile-on...

*Edited to correct CMC's extrapolated numbers

i dont think the huddle was around in 2002.

I included Foster because the Huddle was here for most of his career.  Also, he started out here in rotation, just like the other three.  So it made a twisted sense to me to add him into the mix.

No, he started here on IR. 

If that acting thing doesn't work out, you should go into law. 

There are interesting parallels in his first real season in the NFL with CMC's.  I was waiting on you to point out that he was drafted in the 2nd rather than seemingly objecting to his inclusion in the first place.

it didn't. now i work in a rehab hospital for people suffering from stroke, dementia, and other things you typical see in the Appalachian high risk health corridor.

There are no interesting parallels because Foster never played. 

But Foster was a much more impressive specimen coming out of UCLA, and only dropped because he was getting paid in Escalades while he was there.

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
