The Christian McCaffrey 1000/1000 Countdown Thread

[Hoenheim]

I'm going to keep updating this through the last 3 games  .Very likely he's not going to get the receiving yards he needs in only 3 games but there's still some chance of it happening if we go down big to the Saints or Falcons and we end up having to pass a lot to try and catch up. 

McCaffrey is looking to join Marshall Faulk and Roger Craig as the only players in NFL history that managed to pile up 1000 rushing yards and 1000 receiving yards in one season.  Hes definitely going to get the 1000 rushing but I'm predicting him to come up just short of the receiving (probably around 850 or 900).  

Also another record to be looking at , is Matt Forte's most receptions for a running back in a single season in NFL history at 102. McCaffrey now sits at 86 receptions and is only 17 receptions away from being the new owner if this record. 

So far Christian McCaffrey has through 13 games: 

• 926 rushing yards  (needs 74 more rushing yards) 
• 701 receiving yards (needs 299 more receiving yards ) 

Only other player that's contending with CMC to do the same thing is Saquon Barkley

• 1124 rushing yards (needs 0 more rushing yards) 
• 629 receiving yards (needs 371 more receiving yards) 

CMC would need to average practically 100 receiving yards / game over the next three football games, to get to 1000. And average about 25 rushing yards /game. 

I'm guessing he is going to finish with about 1100 rushing yards and 850 receiving yards. So damn close!  

I'm really hoping he just goes bonkers against the Saints through the air on Monday Night Football.

Hopefully CMC’s talents won’t be wasted like Cam and Luke

Very hard to tell whats going to happen to this team within the next few years. McCaffrey's contract is 4 years through 2020, and Cam's contract also only goes through 2020.

2019 season (next season) will be huge in determining the future of the team player personnel wise .

McC has lit up the Falcons and Aints through the air. No guarantee obviously but it’s far from out of reach. What a shame that this is all we have to hope for this season.

I remember 2009, another horribly disappointing year when we were reduced to hoping Stewart and Williams could each rush for 1000 yards. The pinnacle of success reached by the idiot Marty Hurney after blowing 2 #1 draft picks in a 3 year (2006/2008) span on the RB position.

I hope CMC does reach this landmark, but not if the Panthers overuse him simply trying to reach this achievement.

Sans Playoffs though it will be as hollow as 2009 was.

The numbers have been updated. He's likely not getting the receiving yards unless he has a couple of huge days through the air within the next 3 games.
