McCaffery had a fumble at the goal line - other than that he seems to be being used as a decoy.

All the talk about McCaffrey being used more as a running back this year was complete Bull. I've never seen a player used as a decoy more than McCaffrey. How could any running back possibly get a rhythm going when your used in such an inconsistent gimmick fashion?

Watching RedZone, I am seeing CMAC used a lot.

McCaffrey with 4 carries and 1 reception early in the second quarter. Let's at least wait until the end of the first game of the season before making sweeping assessments on how little or much he's going to be used this year.

3 sacks and a blocked FG. Thats the kind of game his brother was having regularly up until a few years ago when he got hurt.
The box score I’m looking at has him with 4 sacks and 11 total tackles. Monster performance!

There he goes for a nice 13 yard run!

"Philip Rivers is going to sue his receivers for lack of support." LOL nice one by Fouts.

Keenum bouncing back after an early interception. Now leading the Broncos to the lead with 181 yards and 2 TDs.

As Don mentioned, Dissly doing well with 81 yards. All of Wilson’s yards in fact.

Cmac leads the way in the ground. Scam uses him as a decoy for the score

It’s cool to see 3 white defenders (Vander Esch, Lee, and Heath) for Dallas.

McCaffrey with 26 yards rushing thus far. I think he goes over 100 today.

Then Cam Newton keeps it himself for the TD. Newton will never allow CM to be a star.
Newton 6 carries, 63 yards, TD
CM 6 carries 26 yards.
Me thinks you guys are jumping too early conclusions. The 2nd half, CMAC will have a couple of explosive runs. Near the goal line, it was the proper call to use CMAC as a diversion, and sCAM walked in.

Trey Quinn returning punts for the Skins. Good to see he’s being used early in his career.

McCaffrey proving he is a powerful back running over the best linebacker in football, Sean Lee. BTW - this game has the two best linebackers Lee and Kuechly. Beasley, Lee, Kuechly, and McCaffrey to watch. If only Cam would throw the ball the many times McCaffrey is wide open. No QB misses that throw more than Cam - he is horrible. The worst short passer in the NFL

I hope you're correct, but how many starting RB's carry the ball once in the first quarter?

Heath with the tackle for no gain on Newton. Earlier Heath almost had an INT!
