IMO just talking about CMC vs Mitchell is getting sidetracked on bigger picture. CMC is just not needed to carry the load like he did in SF. CMC vs Mitchell is just part of that equation but it's aso about Deebo, Aiyuk and Kittle on a team that runs on the lower end of passing volume. Last night actually saw all of them have at least a solid fantasy game which is really hard to do on 29 pass attempts. But that's the point some of us have tried to make, we did not use 1.1 or 1.2 on CMC for solid or care about getting sidetracked with were he would rank for ROS. At least I don't care about that. All I care about is analyzing was this trade a downgrade for him for ROS and I can't see how anyone continues to see it any differently.
Their offense is fun to watch and CMC's versatility has seemingly opened the whole thing up, especially key in giving Jimmy G another "Easy Button" option which I think has made him extremely comfortable. No one is or should be disputing that CMC is still a first round caliber fantasy player or that in real football not running him into the ground is a plus for his long term outlook and SF's outlook in the playoffs. But none of that does not mean CMC took a decent sized fantasy downgrade for ROS with this trade.
Agree and wish I saw this coming 2 weeks ago before I traded for him. I figured he'd score like crazy in that offense. Wrong move.
at your statement.
