RB Christian McCaffrey, SF (2 Viewers)

[Chaka]

I don't want to call Shanahan a fraud, he's not. Shannahan knows how to scheme a solid offense for the most part. And you can't just judge a coach simply by his W/L record with and without his best player.

But I'm going to do it anyway.

Since becoming the HC in San Francisco in 2017 Shanahan's overall record is 76-65 (54% win percentage)

In 104 games without McCaffrey his record is 45-59 (43% win percentage)
In 45 games with McCaffrey in the lineup his record is 33-12 (73% win percentage)

I am absolutely not saying Kyle Shanahan sucks but, MY GOD McCaffrey is a difference maker.

You mind running that back with Purdy?

Shanahan with and without Purdy or Purdy with and without McCaffrey? I think Purdy has only played 3 games without McCaffrey, he went 0-3

Shanahan
2025 with Purdy 1-1
2025 with Mac Jones 5-2

Shanahan
2022 with Purdy 8-1
2022 w/o Purdy 7-4
2022 w/o Purdy or CMC 3-3

This is very deceiving

Shanahan took over by far the worst roster in football and going 6-10 year one was nothing short of miraculous. Once they traded for Jimmy G, they actually won some games with a semi-competent QB.

Going into 2018, expectations were over the top IMO. Then Jimmy tears his ACL in game 3 and the season goes to crap. You can't count those seasons against him. It was pretty much a complete rebuild from what he took over.

Third year in he takes them to the super bowl and almost pulls it off despite having Jimmy at QB while the other side had Mahomes. I still think they beat KC in 2023 if Greenlaw doesn't tear his Achilles as he is starting to run onto the field after change of possession. At that point, Kelce had 1 yard receiving. Ended up with almost 100 in the 2nd half.

Kyle is a great coach. This year is testament to that. 6-3 and 3-0 in the division rolling with backups at key positions. Great job.

I really thought I was clear that I wasn't calling Shanahan a bad coach.

Well, you implied that while he wasn't a fraud, you were going to call him one anyway and that his success is mainly due to CMC. He almost won the super bowl with Mostert/Coleman and Jimmy at QB. Hardly game changers. He had a lot of success prior to CMC.

He's an elite coach IMO. If the 49ers were stupid enough to part ways with him, his cell phone would be blowing up with coaching offers. As much as I like John Lynch, if he was as good of a GM as Kyle is a coach, they would have had even more success. A lot of blown draft picks along the way. Not sure how much Kyle contributed to those bad draft decisions, but in the end, it's Lynch's call. The last couple years have been better, so maybe it was just a long learning process.

But that said, yes CMC is perfect for his offense and obviously makes it much better

It's minor, semantical and I'm not trying to pick an iFight.

I literally said that Shanahan is not a fraud.

And I said "...you can't just judge a coach simply by his W/L record with and without his best player."

I apologize for not doing a better job with my point which is how amazing CMC is, not about how good (or bad) Shanahan is.

If you’re using his first couple of seasons where they tore the roster down to the studs, this isn’t as probative as you think it is.

I (think?) I understand your intended point from your subsequent posts, but your choice of data didn't do a good job of illustrating it.

My favorite player in the NFL. Yeah, it’s nice to have him on my fantasy team. I’m a Giants fan, but I would rock CMC Jersey for sure.

 

[TampaMike19]

Should’ve just done the easy thing and listened to what the team was telling us. They kept him and had barely any quality depth behind him. Crazy year so far

Coach Yac
Greg Cosell on Christian McCaffrey:

“Say what you want about McCaffrey, I’m sure many of your listeners don’t think he’s the same guy as 3 or 4 years ago, he is a hard runner. He gets hard earned yards. We’ll see as the season progresses if he can get first level space, where he can get to the second level. He’s running well. It’s funny, I speak to my guys in the matchup room here and we all watch tape and I say to them 'do to see any difference in McCaffrey?', and they say 'no, he looks like McCaffrey'.”

He still gots it

 

[ffmail4me]

Hope people didn't sell cheap earlier in the year. I was trying to shop him but refused to move him cheap. Glad he's still on my rosters. He and Gibbs are going to win a LOT of people titles this year me thinks.

For better or worse, I pegged him a few years ago as a guy I'd probably ride to the finish line. Sure, there may be a bill to pay for a year whenever the cliff hits, but hopefully that return will be the 1st overall pick in a top-heavy draft.

Adam Schefter
Christian McCaffrey is having a historic season. Some of his stats at his bye:

McCaffrey now has a league-leading 1,655 scrimmage yards this season, 849 rushing and 806 receiving. He’s the third player in NFL history with at least 800 rush yards and 800 receiving yards in his first 13 games of a season, joining Roger Craig in 1985 and Marshall Faulk in 1998.

It’s the third season in McCaffrey’s career with 800 rush yards and 800 receiving yards, tied with Marshall Faulk for the most such seasons in NFL history.

McCaffrey now is on pace for his second career season with 1,000 rush yards and 1,000 receiving yards, which he also accomplished in 2019. McCaffrey would be the first player in NFL history with multiple seasons of 1,000 rush yards and 1,000 receiving yards.

His 85 receptions this season are fourth in the NFL — and 31 more than any other running back through Week 13. It’s his fifth NFL season with at least 80 receptions, tied with Marshall Faulk for the most by any running back in NFL history.

Just a random thought but not sure any player needed a late bye week more then CMC.

Every, extremely rare occasion that a RB approaches a 1,000-1,000 season I can't help but marvel at the fact that Roger Craig did it in 1985 when the game was so much different.

Titans/Colts/Bears is a really nice playoff schedule too. I'm not sure there is player I'd rather have on my team in weeks 15-17 than CMC.
