CMC has a chance to be 3rd RB ever to reach the 1000/1000 club

No, Kamara has a better coach than McCaffrey, along with a HOF fame QB.  Both are great backs that should be respected in their own right, but you can't compare them without taking into consideration their different situations.

Cmc has better stats this year and Kamara is a committee back and will not get the yards that cmc will get

Yeah, but I do think both are very good, and comparing them is silly because their situations are so different. 

With that said, I personally think CMC has a greater skill set and would be on a whole different level if he had Payton calling plays for him the last two years.  No matter how you slice it, Kamara has greatly benefitted from having Sean Payton calling plays and Drew Brees controlling the offense.

No question they are all very good all purpose backs, but each of them are primarily RB's that can catch and make plays out of the backfield.  But CMC could truly be either a legitimate RB or WR in the NFL.  Like Faulk, he is equally as good at RB and running routes and playing like a WR.  It doesn't have to be situational for him.

Put any of those other guys solely at WR, and they probably wouldn't be major players (so much of their success as receiver is predicated out of being a RB).  But CMC could be a legitimate #1 or 2 WR on a good team.  

 

 

i think you're overrating him a tad. he could probably be a slot guy if he was forced out of the backfield, but absolutely not a #1 receiver. that's insane.

He's a unique superstar, totally blown past any comparison to a prior player. Lol at anyone still pretending Kamara could carry his jock, no one will even remember his name when they are molding CMCs HoF bust.

Well, most analysts said he was probably the best route runner out of all the pass catchers in that draft, including WR's.  He also has excellent hands and good speed.  So the possibility of him developing into a #1 if that was his primary focus is not unrealistic.  But that really wasn't the point.  I was just pointing out that he is different from all of those other RB's that are also good receivers that were mentioned because he is a much more natural receiver than they are, much like Faulk was (which is what the other poster I was agreeing with was saying).

i'm sorry but i think you have the homer goggles on big time. claiming CMC could be a #1 WR is absolutely ridiculous.

 

i understand the point you were making, but that #1 WR claim is silly. his route-running really isn't much better than the other elite pass catching RBs.

this will be a great flag in the rafters.

Just to add to the post :

The only other RB’s to do it -

Marshall Faulk (1,381 rushing and 1,048 receiving in 1999) and Roger Craig (1,050 rushing and 1,016 receiving in 1985)

[Pi = 3.1SHutYoMouth!]

I think CMC and Cam will be together for a very long time. With Cam aging, CMC will be his safety blanket as he decreases his running numbers. Kamara is a great back, but I'm not sure how long Kamara will have Brees.

I also really like Mccafferys toughness and durabilty.  Seems like he can really take a lot of punishment and keep going.  He is a good one.

Georgia Tech fan. Harrison Butker was money at Tech and has been money the last two years. Our 2017 draft class has been solid. As of right now Gettleman probably had his best draft class his last year with CMC, Samuels, Moton, Butker and Armah being major contributors.
