Heh. Completely disagree. He is pretty damn good when he's got room to operate, and sometimes even when he doesn't. The 15ish yard run yesterday early on when he bounced it outside, and the 20ish yard catch late in the game show you how good he is. Also, PFF stats disagree with your assessment as well.
No offense, but I'll take provable, quantifiable performance over your subjective evaluation of how he "looks" all day.
That's a pretty silly position. I am willing to bet that he will have at least one more "outlier" in each of those categories for the rest of the season.
Maybe my Cam disdain is coloring this, but wonder how many plays he's asked to decoy or block on as the team (or Cam) calls a play or blocking scheme designed to clear out a side for Cam to run at.
So you are willing to bet he will have another game with 184 rushing yards and another game with 14 receptions? I'll take that bet.
The game after he had 14 receptions for 102 yards, he had 2 receptions for 10 yards. I think averaging 7-8 receptions for 50-60 yards will not be difficult. I think he's likely to have one to three 100+ yard rushing games, and one or two 100+ yard receiving games.So you are willing to bet he will have another game with 184 rushing yards and another game with 14 receptions? I'll take that bet.
I assume you are more likely saying it is likely he will have another game with 100 yards rushing and 10 receptions. I don't disagree, but that isn't going to move the needle much. He could also have games worse than any game to date this season.
Maybe my expectations had risen too high.
I keep looking at the schedule. Starting to think he is a buy "low" if anything.
I think the Panthers are trying to win in several ways so they're playoff ready. CMC has not yet had a true blowup game and I think he's gonna pop when FF owners need him most. I actually see him having a good game against BAL this weekend. All signs point to a poor game but this will be the toughest opponent they face and I foresee them leaning on their horse, McCaffrey. They won't be effective passing, imo and CMC is a dual threat. It just takes a crease. It's also that point in the season where teams pick up the intensity another notch and the urgency to win becomes greater. All I'm really trying to say is that he WILL have a stretch of games where he is carrying teams to victory. I'd be happy if he maintains his current pace then explodes during weeks 12-16.

10 points ahead but it's Melvin Gordon who missed a game and on a ppg basis is in line with the RB2-RB6 tier.
Same here. Played Conner over him last night. Can't fault that logic when you have Kamara as well.
Paired him with Melvin Gordon to start my draft. Thought about trading him at one point. No thank you.
