Does CMC have a chance to break this record over the span of two games?

From all I can tell, CMC needs 23 catches over the span of the last two games in order to break the record, held by division rival Michael Thomas, of 196 receptions in your first two NFL seasons.

I know 23 sounds like a lot but, if you think about us using our backup QB, we might be running a little more stuff out of the backfield. More than we already have been, even.

It is at least something to root for over the last two weeks!

Hard to say how much heineke will be targeting CMC, we have literally never seen them play together in a regular season game. 

Hes also 232 receiving and 21 rushing yards away from getting 1000 rushing and 1000 receiving. He probably wont get it unless he has a couple of huge receiving games in a row. 

Also hes close to matt fortes record for rb receptions in a single season. 

Cmc has already broken or equaled several records this season. Most lately he passed Dwill for the franchise record for most yards from scrimage in a single season. And also became the 2nd player in nfl history to run for 50 yards,  receive for 50 yards,  and also throw for 50 yards (1st was Walter Payton).

Damn was going to write a posting about this. He is also 1747 total yards from scrimmage which means he needs what 253 for 2000? No doubt he can get that. Mostly because Ron likes to beat his players to death, and that's been the case with CMC. He only needs 21 yards for 1000 rushing.

DeAngelo Williams got over 200 yards alone in the last game of 2012. It's definitely possible he hits 2,000.

All the talking heads use superlatives to describe barkley as a “generational talent” or gurley or zeke as the “best back in football” but they seem to play down cmc. Same happened in college when he broke sanders yardage record but it want good enough for s heisman?? He seems to be understated because of his race? I don’t know what the issue is really?

No, Cam took the "it's ok to check it down" line, and turned it into his primary read. Falcons and saints are going to load the box and pressure Taylor all day, CMC won't get the ball half as much as he does with Cam, I assure you that.

      Salary cap taking a big jump in 2025

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I don't know--they represent the entire body of players and this be determined, if it got to that point, by a vote of all veterans and rookies who are part of the union.  If the elite players are getting 50% of all cap increases, the non-elite players with shorter careers might want a bigger slice of the pie and vote accordingly.  To say that the Union would not go for it is not something I agree with--it would be the union that proposes it--based on a proposal and a majority vote.  If the veteran players vote for an equal distribution framework, then all 53 on a roster benefit from a cap increase that is applicable to the entire team.  Not sure how labor laws might be impacted...

      Who Has to Be Off the Board to Trade Back?

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Carter, Graham, or Walker and I might roll the dice hoping Walker is around later.  If Hunter is there at 8, we are about to get a really nice haul for trading back.

      Oh well. That's his fault if he wants to eat up all the cap space and have no protection as a result. A big part of why Brady has all those rings is that he generally took team friendly deals. Not that he wasn't making a mega ass ton of money, but he wasn't leaving his team cap strapped due to his contract while Peyton Manning generally tried to negotiate for every dime he could get forcing the Colts to make tough decisions.
