CMC isn’t just a running back

CMC will be 27 starting next year.  I don't see this team really competing for at least 2 years, probably.  He'll be 29 and closer to the dreaded 30 at that point.  We know how that usually goes.  Not to mention the injury history he's already had.  He may continue to be great past 30 of course, because his ability as a receiver is just as good, but just going by how that position usually goes it just made sense.   The 49ers are in a much better position and believe they have a window so they overpaid because they can use the last of the CMC prime years.  We just wouldn't be able to use those correctly.

Plus we now get to see CMC with a better team and coach which should be fun.  He deserves it.  It's what Steve Smith never got till he was already close to retiring and we all have wondered how he would have been with better coaching and QB play.  

It won't be fun

Oh boy, I’ve got bad news for you on the Hornets

Charlotte Hornets. It was a joke because they always suck too. 

Bro, i thought you were being serious, my fault. I should known you were up-2-date on the incoming suckage...

none of that matters. he's gone. he was an oft injured overpaid player. yeah, probably HoF bound, but he wasn't winning us games. hopefully the picks we get thanks to the trade will play more than he did.

Overpaid? He was oft injured for the exact reason listed. He was over used and mis-used.

He wasn't just a RB... he was the most active player studied by our doctors since Curtis Samuel. You hope both guys have success but CMC has missed too much significant time over the past two years that you have to question how much will he be available each season. Not only that but with him being an absolute monster for us, we haven't won... Its ok to let guys like that go. If trading him leads us to getting better odds at our QB, and building a balanced offense around him, then so be it.

It wasn't a good trade.

When the dust settles it might be a very bad trade.

Those hoping that CMC gets hurt this year or next, or that 9ers aren't making the playoffs or  winning any playoff games are probably  going to be disappointed.

Yeah it's one of the nice things about McCaffrey going to the 49ers is we can see how a good offensive mind schemes him. I have a feeling it's going to make the deal look like a bargain for them. Still will seem like an OK deal for us cause we weren't going to be able to unlock his full potential anyway.
