CMC: I am All-NFL

To be 1st in both carries and receptions this late in the season is absolutely insane

I keep saying he needs to be a WR to replace Deebo. Have someone else take all the pounding he used to. He was WR in Stanford before he was RB,

No way to good at rb

Adjustments need to be made to make him into a third down scat back because that's what the stats are begging for.
He's not a scat back dude leads the league in forced tackles. He's still a top 5 back in the league more with our o line when has he had big running lanes to run thru this year to see if he's declining?

Ya definitely noticed a dip in his game. Just isn't that explosive or shifty anymore. Maybe a full off-season will help, but he's starting to get to that RB age where they start declining athletically.

Looked shifty last week when he made the guy miss in the open field.Has he maybe lost a step yes but the majority of NFL players lose a step after 4 or 5 years in this league with how physical it is. Jonathan Taylor who is the best back in the league this year is not as fast as he was when he came out as a rookie but he plays with one of the best o lines. So let's see how he looks next year if we decide to upgrade our offense line.

Haha, you know it's again Kyle's team
philosophy to upgrade the offensive line. Maybe we get one good Puni-level starter in the draft but that's about it. Otherwise online is where this team saves money to use on skill position players
Not real thrilled that he has most rush attempts in the nfl. They make a trade for Robinson and invest 2 fairly high picks in RBs and seem to be hellbent on running him into the ground. What's the purpose of accruing a stable of RBs if you aren't going to use them.

Guess it was just insurance for when they run CMC into the ground.

We pay him top dollars so if it take's giving him more carries for us to win , I'm all for it. Why are we the only fan base that complains we give our feature back the ball to much when if backs supposedly have a age life , why do we want to save him for when he's over 30

Exactly. This could be his last good year.

He's not a scat back dude leads the league in forced tackles. He's still a top 5 back in the league more with our o line when has he had big running lanes to run thru this year to see if he's declining?

I don't know what planet you guys are living on. He's averaging 3.6 ypc and his longest run is like 12 yards.

He's absolutely terrible as a runner.

What NFL team in history has had rb averaging under 4 ypc and has a good running game?

He's not even at 3.9 which is terrible he's at 3.6 which is so bad I don't even recall the last time a starting RB finished the year as a starter under 3.9

But but leads the league in carries.... What? What kind of argument is this? That's even worse considering he's so bad.

I guess we're just using made up stats for production now not actually how many yards he gets each time he's given the ball...

He's a third down receiving and blocking back. Put him in the slot and hand him the ball less than 5x a game... He's cooked as a runner

I laid out the reasons above why I don't like it….did not even mention his injury history. His shelf life is not going to be the same as other RBs because he has the ability to be a slot WR at some point

Basically what I said this past off season but id put him in the backfield in the redzone.

You need to put down the bottle , your totally wrong his longest run is 20 yards which happens to be the longest on the team so I guess your the one making up stats. This is one of the worst run blocking o lines in the league and CMC if he was washed wouldn't lead the league in missed tackles or first downs if he was that bad .We know you don't like him but your not the Coach or GM and they think he's still at the top of his game or he wouldn't be in their, so your just gonna have to live with it whether you like it or not.

He said his self he's a rb if he becomes a slot wr it want be on this team because we pay him to much for that.So like I said use him now .
