I don’t agree with that either ...I think win, lose or draw this group gets at least 4 years ....

They replaced Gurley in other ways ... *LOL* ... please elaborate ... It is nice to know it took more than one player to replace him ... how much did they cost ... ...

I do too. I don't talk much about other teams players, but he is a guy I touted when he came out. I wanted to draft him if we could. He played great at Mississippi St. In Big 10 terms, it like a QB playing well at Indiana.

Dak had great college stats and he has carried it over to the NFL. He has very good stats....stats that count. He may not be a top 5 QB, but he is a top 10 QB.

You can win with the guy. He throws for percentage. Doesn't throw a ton of picks. Gets his Td passes, and can run without getting bruised up. To me he is very comparable to Steve McNair. Same type of body and game, just a good QB who would start for all but a few teams.

j/c:

Interesting....

Nice chart. Looks like he is up there with Henry and Zeke, at least as a percentage....I'll have to look again if that was a percentage of carries or number of carries.


No doubt McCaffery is a special player. There isn't a team in the league who wouldn't take that guy. He would push anybody for the starting reps and would clearly take reps away from anybody in the league.

Good is good. You don't bench that.



Looks like numbers to me

That actually doesn’t surprise me. I’ve watched Carolina games a lot because I’ve had CMC in fantasy ... and he is used in the box and at the goal line an awful lot

I think this is a good point.

On the graph, it says Number of Rushes between the tackles or something like that.

Percentage of rushes would probably be a better stat.

Christian getting paid this offseason is like the stars aligning for him. That man absolutely cashed out at the BEST TIME IMAGINABLE for him and his family. I have marveled at how he has been able to stay so healthy.

He had 9 TD's in 2 seasons coming into last year. Then boom 15.

Now entering his 4th season at what, 200lbs?

He is the definition of the new age running back and a big time weapon. He is also a running back on a huge deal with a bad team without a QB. Gross

Good points, he represents the new hybrid type RB .. I always think that Metcalf was playing in the wrong decade

FWIW

CHRISTIAN MCCAFFREY
RB, CAROLINA PANTHERS

Christian McCaffrey's four-year extension is worth $30.1 million fully guaranteed at signing.

Another $8.1 million becomes guaranteed next March, meaning for all intents and purposes CMC is guaranteed $38.2 million. This is the long way of saying he has indeed become the highest-paid running back in football. Any regular reader of this website or football Twitter knows running backs are not the best allocation of resources for modern football teams, but CMC's youth and unique skill-set coupled with the Panthers' minor outlay at quarterback makes it far from egregious.

They spelled "intense purposes" wrong.

??????????

It's spelled just fine.

It was a joke. Sorry.

I still don't get it.

Oh well.

'Colin Cowherd: No NFL Team Wants Cam Newton as Their Starting Quarterback'

Colin Cowherd: “According to a story, Cam Newton may have to accept a backup role to remain in the NFL. And a story today said the Redskins are interesting in Jameis Winston, NOT Cam. Bears? NOT Cam. Raiders? NOT Cam. Colts? NOT Cam. Chargers? NOT Cam. I’ve often compared Cam to Russell Westbrook but he’s now becoming Carmelo Anthony. No self-awareness, refuses to adapt to the new three-point league, semi-committed, writing off that great reputation in college, and has aged poorly. Cam is distracted and is only ‘kind of’ committed. What’s the market for Cam? He’s inaccurate – 59% completion percentage, and take away one great year and his passer rating is around 85. He’s .500 since his MVP season, and he’s an average quarterback who had one great year. He’s not even great at running around anymore. Tom Brady was old and expensive, Cam is young and cheap and there are NO takers. There is no market for Cam.”

A bit more of the article, with video (that I didn't watch):

https://foxsportsradio.iheart.com/conten...ng-quarterback/

Why does Colin Cowherd have any credibility on any subject?

He's right on this one.

CC strikes again. I have total disbelief that there is no interest here on the part of anyone. Some in the NFL may be waiting for the market to break him down. Nobody?

I should just stop reading when I come across Cowherd and read anywhere else.

He’s right until someone signs Cam Newton. And then he’ll change his tune or ignore he ever said it.

He's right on his assessment of Cam Newton - not whether any team will sign him.

I disagree with his assessment.

Total fraud.

He's intelligent and eloquent but full of BS. Much of his show is like a high brow Skip Bayless. At this point I'd rather listen to Skip and I really hate Skip.

I disagree with your assessment of his assessment.

I don't like Cowherd, but I like Skip well enough.

I utterly despise Cowherd, but his assessment of Newton is spot on in my opinion.

His best attribute was his running ability and that is limited now. He has never been a great passer (God awful throwing mechanics) and with the shoulder injury, worse now.

Questionable leadership skills. I understand why no team is knocking down the door to sign him.

I will say that CC lacks any credibility as a sports journalist. But I think he would fit in quite well as a poster on Dawgtalkers.

Unfortunately .. you are right

Absolutely agree. Cowherd would fit in great on this board. lol.

He'd be despised by many, but he'd fit in around here

So what you are saying is there are a bunch of jerks around here.

it took you 20 years to realize this?! LOL

Notice I didn't put a question mark behind my comment. I've known it for a long time. I was just making commentary on what you said.

Pharoah's back! I didn't even know he was gone.

https://www.yahoo.com/sports/former-oregon-ducks-te-pharaoh-162126314.html

I didn’t know he was from Ohio, not that I care, although he must have Browns fans in his family, so they’re happy. Maybe he was a little dawg when growing up.

Is blocking his main attribute? I hope so.

Was he with us last year? I honestly cant remember

Yes, he played a lot.

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/cle/2019-snap-counts.htm

He was our 4th most used TE, playing 16% of the snaps with 2 receptions ... I don't think that qualifies as "a lot". TE was one of several really disappointing positions last year after Njoku went down (and before I guess). One reason I liked the Hooper signing so much - he was the best FA available and he's a nice pairing with Njoku.
