It’s the easiest position to replace in the NFL.

It helps if you've got other players you can complement him with. Then you can use him to draw attention away.

That is unless you have those players but don't have coaches smart enough to know how to use them.

CMC made this offense predictable. I am really interested in seeing what happens when he isn't the focal point.

Crazy as it sounds but we might've lost had he still been on the team

Same thing. Our entire offense was run through CMC by coaches design. They finally had to do something different because they had no choice.

Factor in the night versus day difference in QB play & OC play calling + versus against a weaker than usual this year run defense.

When is the last time he had a 50+yard run? I'll save you the Google search, it's been 3 years.

When's the last time he had holes you cam drive a truck through?

Let's the last time we had a decent line and serviceable QB he had

40+ yd off tackle td

84 yd up gut td

76 yd up gut td

58 yd up gut td

I'm probably forgetting some that year.

We don't have a home run hitter anymore

He is gone now the past is the past.... Today was the best blocking we have seen in years though.

Pretty much.  Really interested to see how Shanahan uses him with Deebo and Kittle.  I mean, that's a fun group to have an offense with, and you don't need to run it through any of them explicitly either.  We just did it all so wrong with Rhule.  Turner was a bit better in 17-18 but still not my favorite.  Still though, they used Samuel, Moore, CMC, it was a more complete offense.  And it made Kyle Allen look good.  It wasn't some forced jamboree through one guy that Rhule did.

He doesn't have the same burst he used to have. RB's have a short shelf life and injuries have taken their toll. He's still a great player but he's not a "home run hitter" anymore either. Moving on from him was 100% the correct move given what we got in return. If you're hanging your hat on plays from three years ago idk what to tell you.

in case anyone is wondering CMC is getting 10+ every time  he’s touched the ball so far, and he’s had the playbook for 2 days.

We didnt have a home run hitter with him, he is not the same guy he was a few years ago. 

We got the best possible outcome with CMC, we got something of value for him before his value is completely diminished, thats what smart teams do.

This. No actual practices and 2 walk thrus.

10 yd avg. GTFOH that he was the problem.

The difference was replacing Elf with Bozeman. He had the communication and pre snap calls on the OL working better than Elf could ever hope to do. Bozeman has the OL to work with and makes the job on the QB and RB so much easier. PJ and the RBs were able to be patient all game long.

CMC would have owned this game with Bozeman at center and PJ at QB.

Not having Robby getting targets was a huge reason for improvement in play production in the passing game too.
