If Christian McCaffrey Is The NFL’s MVP, Why Aren’t The Panthers Better?

And if we put McCaffrey alongside the 13 backs to win the AP Most Valuable Player award since 1970, he compares favorably. McCaffrey ranks third in rushing and receiving yards through five weeks, and he’s first in total yards from scrimmage.

Meanwhile, Carolina’s rushing attack ranks 16th in expected points added, despite the large workload McCaffrey has shouldered. Somewhat shockingly, the part of the offense for which McCaffrey plays such an outsized role has contributed negative 1.54 expected points added to the team’s total offensive production. His 274 yards receiving may help mitigate the rushing losses, but the Panthers’ middling 3-2 record is probably best explained by the performance of their seventh-ranked defense rather than McCaffrey’s exploits.

And there are still other reasons to question McCaffrey’s MVP candidacy. For instance, it’s unclear whether he’ll be able to stay healthy operating under such a heavy workload. McCaffrey left last week’s game against Jacksonville because of cramps, and he missed practice Wednesday with a back injury.1

 

Goes on to surmise that even if he has great stats he will not win MVP if the panthers are mediocre. Shrug...

MVP generally goes to the best player on the best team.  You basically have to ignore what MVP actually stands for. 

CMC has best odds right now for OPOY

this...the guy writing the article is a moron. we are 3-2 because we had 2 stupid fumbles against the Rams and because Cam was playing on 1 foot against the Bucs. at no point have we played a game so far where we were simply outclassed or outtalented

QB of the best team in the league that's not a defensive front team.

 

Do we really think these awards mean anything?

Do you really think that Bruce Arians and Ron Rivera should have won coach of the year over Bill Belichick EVER?

Yeah, 2015

Pats are 6-0 and although Brady is not having great stats, he'd probably get the MVP at this point.  Just because he is over 40 and Brady

The NFL is trying to gift them the perfect season. “Owner gets a handie, lets give them everything.” I really wonder what Kraft has on Goddell.

@GOOGLE JIM BOB COOTER *epic facepalm*

we put him in the slot. If you put him outside you take the entire X factor away. 

That said putting him outside for 1-2 snaps a game just to fug with defense, we do that already. A lot more last year then we have this year. But he’s a RB not a WR, most CB’s could just reach over him and snatch the ball before he even gets a chance this day and age.

      I don't think Rodgers but probably not for the political reasons I bet a lot of posters are motivated by. I just think he is not the QB for the Panthers, at all.

      It wasn't great but  the 2022 NYG won 9 of 16 games plus a playoff game. He had a 92.5 passer rating. 15 pass TDs 3200 yards, 7 rushing TD, 700 yards 6 fumbles 3 lost.  His first season he had 18 fumbles lost 11. Wow.  Anyhow he had problems in 2023 with injuries and didn't win poo before tearing his ACL. This year, no Barkley, not good, but you know.... these ACLs take a while and it was right and he throws right so pushes off of it.  I agree it doesn't hurt to let that guy compete cheap. You don't hand him the job like with Bryce or NYG with him.  When I look at what we have been saddled with, he doesn't look worse and has the physical advantage. So I don't get the umbrage given our situation. This "No we won't settle for anything less that the best" attitude and then taking Bryce Young was pathetic and I think that attitude brought us to where we are. That's where that poo gets you. Away from Mayfield, away from Darnold, even away from PJ - just to replace them with an inferior PJ.  At the same time I am not really advocating for the guy just looking at it objectively. It could be another guy with the same story. And yes the odds of him getting it are low but the numbers and performance from 2022 are for sure better than we see with Bryce even after a season of major propping him up with better players around him. Take a look don't take a look he fails or he doesn't fail...   to instead sit here and be happier with what we have is bullshit.
