He leads the Carolina Panthers in rushing yards, receptions and touchdowns, and the Detroit Lions know that stopping him Sunday will be key to snapping their three-game losing streak.

Lions cornerback Darius Slay marveled at McCaffrey's abilities Thursday, and at how different he is from other NFL running backs.

"I just never saw a white guy do it like that," Slay said. "He goes ham out there and like he plays on an elite level at the running back. (Most) white running backs (are known for) running folks over, he be out there shaking them and doing all what he needs to do, and catch it in the air. So he’s special. He’s special."

Not sure what CMCs race has to do with anything, but he has a lot of great things to say about CMC.

It's an athlete thing. Even white football players say "look at that white boy!" at guys like CMC. It's unusual. Strong, sure. Intelligent, sure. But never fast and agile, not at that level. Nothing back handed meant, he's just saying what we all know. CMC is not your average white running back.

So basically if he was black he wouldn't have even mentioned it.  Sound pretty freaking racist to me.  TBH I don't see many black RB with this talent.   Kareem Hunt maybe.

This forum is so fickle.  When someone says the same thing about the "Black QB" the whole damn forum erupts into a racist rant. 

Can't have it both ways.... If the "Black QB" comments are racist than the "White RB" comments are racist.

He could have given props to CMC without bringing race in it.  CMC is a unique talent. PERIOD.

I see what you’re saying and there is some truth there. 

Peoples sensitivities aside, he was being honest and it really was a compliment. Any time a person is “shaking them and doing what he needs to do” , I take In a positive way. :)

It’s Friday.

Oh, I have no doubt it was a compliment.   Anyone that doesn't see him as a danger to a defense will soon learn. 

Reminds me of Fred Smoots (Minnesota Vikings 2005) when he downplayed how good Smitty was and said he was going to shut him down.  201 yds 1 TD and 11 for 11 on targets.  He learned...  Smoots was never the same after that game.

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
