CMC worth the pick?

[MVPccaffrey]

McCaffrey is the most important draft pick since Luke.  You can't keep count on the number of drives he's extended as a safety valve for Cam that in previous seasons would have ended in a sack or incompletion.

pretty much. 

[Chardee MacDennis]

Someone can correct this if I'm wrong but I think he is in the top 20 YPC, top 25 in rushing TDs among RBs (with Cam as his QB), top 15 in Receiving TDs among RBs, and top 5 in Receiving yards among RBs. 

I would say he could even be used more. I wonder how high those numbers go if Cam had actually hit him in the flat on the numerous occasions he was wide open and missed due to Cam trying to make the big play. 

I'd say anytime you have a guy who the other team has to game plan around, he is worth a top 10 pick.

  All players drafted after CMC who could do better and just as good for us during that draft. CMC is good I just give Panthers a C for drafting him so early that year. That draft was LOADED with runningbacks 

go ahead and admit it guy, you only heard of the first two predraft. Mixon only because of a bad wrap. You know you are being one of those hindsight schmucks right now right?

I could go back and examine the drafts of every Super Bowl champion for the last 20 years and find what would have been better choices or engineer the "perfect draft".

They won. Hence, nobody gives a s--t.

I've never seen a team have a perfect draft, not even among teams that are known to draft very well. As long as you pick guys that help you win, who cares where you got them?

One thing you’ll find is those teams rarely if ever use a high pick on a RB.

[FugAllY'all]

McCaffrey has a chance to the break the Panthers franchise record for yards from scrimmage in a single season. He could also break the record for most receptions. I believe both are held by Steve Smith. So in year 2, McCaffrey could have, statistically at least, the single best season in franchise history for a skill position player. There's no fuging debate here lol

[Manther]

McCaffrey is one of the best running backs in the league.  We are lucky to have him.  The guy is a reliable chain mover....has been from day one.  With Norv and holes to run through, he is becoming a beast.

Those teams rarely if ever have a dual threat quarterback either. Shall we use that to make a conclusion as well?

[saints4lifeagain]

Using Kamara and Hunt to discount CMC is a bit unfair, because of them being much later picks than him. Everyone passed on them multiple times. 

You can lend credence to the argument that you shouldn't use a high pick on a RB, unless it's a generational talent, like Gurley and Barkley. 

Yall gotta stop with the talk about Paytons system for Kamara though. The dude gets double teamed on routes out of the backfield consistently. Did so on his TD catch last night. He's special. 

[Lumps]

Lol at all the closet racists coming out in this thread

but but he’s a white HB/RB...not capable important at all derp he’s the next woodhead derp derp

agendas becomming ever more obvious

All that being said, we need to decide what the hell we're doing with CJ Anderson once and for all. There's some strange tense dynamic going on there.

I wish Rivera would use CJ to close out games rather than pummeling CMC into the line to burn the clock. I saw a stat today where i think 22 has only sat out 18 offensive snaps or something like that this year. We need him fresh in December and beyond.

Here's the tweet;

CMC is the 5th in NFL with Yards from scrimmage out of all the players who have only played 8 games so far this season ( more ahead of him that have played in 9 NFL games.  If he played in 9 NFL games at the pace he is going, he would be ranked either 7th or 8th for yards from scrimmage.   People saying he is not worth the pick, judging from what we have seen so far out of him in his second season is just absolutely ridiculous at this point.  Besides Newton he has been the most important piece of our offense and he is BALLING out.  Can't stand some of the people on this board and never being able to admit you were wrong.

Question was "he worth a top 10 pick" my answer is still no. The big difference is Norv fooking Turner. CMC type player was available in rounds 2 and 3 in that draft. We could of had 2 outstanding players that year if we didnt pull the trigger so early on a scatback. You guys get gitty after we beat non condltenders and cmc has a good game.  People so pressed to make him seem like some pre bowl type talent when he is really a James White type of talent.  This year our OLine is playing out of it's mind and Norv actually as given us a professional playbook. I love the support of cmc but keeping it real if that draft was redone he wouldn't of been picked at number 8. 

The fact the saints got Kamara in the 3rd is straight up luck. If anyone knew how good Kamara would be he would be a top 10 pick as well. 

 

The saints didnt plan on nailing a CMC esque player in the 3rd round. That was luck. 

 

The we could have had talk is silly. 

[panthers55]

Honestly when it is 3rd and 5 who would you throw it too? Olsen or McCaffrey. When you need yards on 3rd and one we give it to McCaffrey as many times as not. That ball he plucked out of the end zone against Baltimore's and that sideline tight rope along with the leap over the tackler were big time plays as good as I have seen by any other RB/slot receiver in the league. He was definitely worth the draft pick. Considering how many top 10 picks bust, CMC is a great pick and a huge part of this offense. The next  best player behind Cam on offense.
