Currently he is 

  • 2nd in yards from scrimmage (1925) 
  • 4th in rushing (1080) 
  • 9th in average yards per rush (5.0) 
  • 5th in receptions (106) 
  • 25th in receiving yards (845)
  • Leads the Panthers in receptions, receiving yards, rushing yards, total touchdowns, and total yards from scrimmage 

 

Most recently he

  • Broke Steve Smith's Panthers franchise record for most receptions in a single season
  • Broke Matt Forte's NFL record for most receptions by a running back in a single season 

Current Stats are

  • 215 rushes, 1080 rushing yards, 5.0 yards per carry , 7 rushing touchdowns
  • 106 receptions, 845 receiving yards, 6 receiving touchdowns
  • 1925 yards from scrimmage, 13 total touchdowns 


Career Stats are 

  • 332 rushes, 1515 rushing yards, 4.5 yards per carry, 9 rushing touchdowns
  • 186 receptions, 1496 receiving yards, 11 receiving touchdowns
  • 20 total touchdowns, 3011 yards from scrimmage in 2 seasons 

Lost in all of this is how his stats this year compare to last year and how much better he's been running the ball. Cant imagine what's in store for next season. 

Yea , I'll update the stats if he plays in the last game.

So it IS possible for a white boy to play RB in the NFL

Wheres all the haters who complained when we drafted him 8th???

Most notable is the fact that hes a white RB that isn't mosly a power back (ex. Larry Czonka , John Riggins, Mike Alstott, Payton Hillis). There have been some good white RBs in the last 40  years or so but rarely are they a balanced RB like CMC is.

This is great but it better not happen again. The guy’s body will be toast in a few seasons if they don’t lighten his load.

This narrative started before he even played a down for us and is continuing to no avail. This dude will be 23 heading into next season and has never missed an NFL game in his career.

Every stat in the OP should have an asterisk denoting * that he was on a 6-10 football team with nobody else on offense besides McCaffrey making plays, hence why they were 6-10

It's indicative of the shortcomings in other areas of the offense like another poster said. @tondi

Most of McCaffrey's catches are check downs and a check down is something even the lowest level of QB's and RB's can execute. You guys are ridiculous. 6-10 guys, 6-10, all of those glorious McCaffrey stats apparently meant nothing in the grand scheme of things, whereas Gurley's stats appear to have meant everything in the grand scheme of things.

People hate the truth. They hate it.

 

Pretty sure you won't get this (because let's be honest, there a lot of things you just don't get) but the fact that he did this on a losing team actually makes it an even bigger accomplishment than it would have been otherwise..

Hilarious that you people only want to admit racial biases only when it allows you to feign victim. With Cam and Reid, it's simple criticism and we're just being overly sensitive.

No, because his stats are just a product of volume. What quarterback, running back combination couldn't execute a check down? 

Cameron Artis-Payne, any RB that could stay healthy while being continually used like McCaffrey was, would surely rack up stats due to the shear volume, do you not understand that?

I don't give you a lot of credit for being able to understand basic logic.

So cap would have the stats if he got the same targets and carries? Are you some kinda clown?

Cmc played better than gurley Check the number of runs over 20 yards. Cmc has many more than gurley all behind a much worse off line than rams

He's not exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer.

But here's the fun part: McCaffrey is capable of taking a short check down or a quick hand off and turning it into big yardage. He does it on a pretty regular basis if you're paying attention.

The notion that this is somehow a negative is pretty stupid.

And truthfully, there's a certain player who made an entire career out of that. He's actually in the Hall of Fame, even though he spent years in an offense that was based even more around those ideas and concepts than ours is.

I could name him, but I'd rather see if our dull-witted friend can guess who I'm talking about.

(the odds are probably against him)

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By Icege · Posted

      Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.

      Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
