CMC extension was a great move

9 ypr is great for a RB, considering that many of their catches are coming at or behind the line of scrimmage. To put that into perspective of your argument, if we had just dumped it off to CMC every single play, we could have avoided 3rd downs all year long because it would only take 2 receptions for him to get a 1st down and apparently defenses were running nothing but soft coverage on him.... Yet, as soon as he caught the ball, 2 to 3 defenders were coming right for him.

Sure, on 3rd and 20 teams would give up a short pass to CMC because of the down and distance, but to say CMC just caught passes with nobody around him is way off....

With the exception of the Bucs, CMC ran the ball great up until the Falcons game. After that, injuries depleted our already weak oline and teams started stacking the box (even more), which led to CMC getting hit at the line, if not behind the line of scrimmage, and forcing us to throw more. As we all know, that ended up in way more INTs and less time of possession and points. And yeah, CMC will get a lot of dump off passes because our oline was so terrible that our receivers didn't even have enough time to run intermediate/long routes before Kyle Allen was decapitated.

And I don't really understand your argument about CMC's great receiving season resulting in our record. I wasn't aware he played defense and was the reason teams could just call a HB dive every single play and get 5+ yards... Our offensive rank was at least in the middle of the pack in a fair amount of stats (passing yards, rushing yards, total yards, PPG), despite us probably being bottom 5, if not dead last, in sacks allowed, fumbles lost, INTs thrown, and time of possession. Yes, I'm sure some of that was garbage time, but teams also chewed the clock against us in the 2nd half because they could put together 8+ minute drives just running the ball down our throats. You know, because our defense lets teams run for 5.2 yards a carry against them... It's honestly impressive that our secondary played formidably not allowing many passing yards, TDs, and getting a fair amount of INTs, considering teams didn't even need to throw the ball against us to score and that they had to help out as much as they did in run support.

First off he averaged 8.6 ypr  not 9, which is middle of the pack when it comes to running backs, secondly I’m going squarely off receiving production and 8.6 ypr is bad and shouldn’t be the focal point of any passing offense.

Your whole “if we check it down every time we would have second and short” doesn’t work in the real world. You can literally use ypc or ypr to manipulate  any argument to make sense, but reality speaking teams would shore up their defense on short distance, that’s why RB numbers go down in the redzone. 
 

 

When did I say I his receiving yards resulted the record????? i already addressed the whole defense thing

 

I pointed out how receiving yards for a RB aren’t as valuable as people in this thread are making them out to be. Which I have proven.
