McCaffery will breakout this year....

Every NFL Team's 2018 Breakout Player Candidate

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2780610-every-nfl-teams-2018-breakout-player-candidate#slide0

While the Carolina Panthers are still waiting for recent early-round draft picks Shaq Thompson, Devin Funchess, Vernon Butler and James Bradberry to take off, the youngster with the highest ceiling on the roster is 2017 No. 8 overall pick Christian McCaffrey. 

The pass-catching running back out of Stanford wasn't bad as a rookie. Only 13 NFL players caught more passes than him (80) and he averaged 4.7 yards per carry while scoring a handful of touchdowns in the second half of the season. He also had 117 yards on 12 touches in a playoff loss to the New Orleans Saints. 

But that came after McCaffrey averaged an abysmal 2.4 yards per carry while scoring just twice in the first eight games of the year. Maybe growing pains were a factor at the age of 21, so if he can pick up in 2018 where he left off in 2017, the former Heisman Trophy runner-up could become a star behind Cam Newton.

We are due for 2 of these guys to really bust out in Probowl form. Cam and Luke spoiled us.

Shaq, Butler and Bradberry all suck

As optimistic as I am I will be in agreement with you if they don’t take a step forward this year. 

I think Shaq is the most likely candidate to break out along with McCaffery

DJ Moore, Donte Jackson and Gaulden will have better 2018 season than Shaq, Butler and Bradberry

Man these first round picks having to be developed is the biggest crock of poo this team tells is every year. First rounders should contribute right away. Watching shaq and Butler waste time is mindnumbing

Rookies do have to be developed but the issue with guys like Shaq and Butler is that they were drafted while playing probablybour two deepest positions. There simply wasn’t a lot of snaps available for them and it likely stunted their development.

You'd think they'd be able to push into the lineups more that they have. Like I forget Butlers even on the team on game days. They arnt showing out when they do get those opportunities. That's the problem look at the eagles D that's deep. Those rotating players showed out. Our two first rounders arnt.

Where is the 'McCafferty may mildly impress you this year' article?

In the world of useless content generation there will be several more rounds of this before camp when the  preseason all pro lists begin.

Shaq is behind a potential hall of famer....

Butler is also behind a top 5 player at his position in Short...

Guys the playing time is not an issue so long as KK / TD are playing at a high level, our depth in the areas we are best at stays strong it's a concept lost on many of you, injuries can decimate a position group. 

We at the least have depth at the positions we're best and built to play around, not many teams can have a guy like TD miss four games and potentially not skip a beat, or even see better production with Shaq starting. 

Same for KK, most teams can't replace their star 3 techs on the DL if an injury sidelines them with comparable ability. Who's gonna fill in for Fletcher Cox, Gerald McCoy, or Aaron Donald (They had to spend 14 mill for Suh just this off-season, but Goff is on a rookie deal)

Our team is built from the inside out on defense the most important pieces are the ones closest to the QB, and we can't play how we play without depth in that department given the nature of the game.

I don't think you're paying attention.

Butler has shown flashes when he's been in, he consistently gets pressure and disrupts the QB.

When Shaq is in and TD is out there isn't a significant drop off in talent, just experience.

Butler is a first round pick, showing "flashes" isn't exactly a ringing endorsement of his ability. Stop making excuses for a player that should be a lot better than he's been. Shaq I agree is a better pick than Butler but he's still not as good as I expected. I pay attention and he's out of position in plays way more than he should be. Just watch the three NO games.

    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game.  and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important. 
    • There's some big assumptions in here - first, I think Canales HAS helped Bryce a poo ton. To pretend he hasn't is asinine. Has he fixed him?  I mean, the dude looks like he could perhaps be a backup or low-end starter now, whereas he looked like he didn't belong in the NFL a year ago. You're talking about a coach that brought one of the worst NFL QBs of all time to a point where he may actually be a low-end starter. That IS impressive. Second, the bolded. Come on - given the offense, the dude is far from "trending towards bust." He definitely needs work but he's shown an impressive ability to get open. He's contributing to an anemic offense. The dude is our leading receiver (though he'll be #2 in yardage by end of season by a little, as Thielen does better per game).  As to his coaching, he had this team competing and believing against 3 of the better teams in the NFL, despite the lack of talent, and despite our QB situation.  Yes, things fell apart vs DAL, and he was outcoached. But that will happen with young coaches IMO.  I don't think it indicates he cant' be better. The idea of "pulling off the bandage" is ridiculous. Who would want to coach here if we fired this guy after one season?
