Heisman Trophy Candidate Christian McCaffrey

Here's an article comparing Gerhart to McCaffrey as Stanford running backs.
For me at this point, I feel Gerhart was better. But certainly McCaffrey still could pass him.

It's ironic because the Irish were slaves(early 1600s, thanks England) before blacks were captured by rival tribes and Arabs and sold on The coast to Jews and Whites(mid 1600s)

Also Irish slaves were only worth 5 sterling while Negro slaves worth 50 sterling. Irish men sold off split from their families, women forced to breed with Negroes and Children sold off as slaves. This isn't taught in schools and doesn't fit the narrative media likes to push blacks as poor victims and all whites as evil slave masters. In reality only 1% of southern whites owned slaves, the elites. Much like the elites today own us as slaves only through different means. Debt, banks, etc under the allusion we're the home of the free.

Also the comparison with Black Qbs to white Rbs is no longer valid. There are what 7 or 8 starting black QBs in NFL and still zero white runners. At college level probably50 or so quotabacks and maybe 5 white runners.. Get real sick of the victim mentality.

 

Excellent post, Don. Whites, as a race, are usually only even mentioned when the topic is negative (racism, slavery, colonialism, interracial dating, serial killers, low birth rates, Trump supporters, etc). The hypocrisy of the "anti-racist" system is summed up quite well in this classic picture that circulates online in pro-white circles...

 

Here is an article from BSPNs black subsite on McCaffrey and prejudice. A white person would never have gotten away with writing this piece:

Honestly I think Christian has surpassed Gerhart. Toby was an amazing workhorse RB and power runner . Christian is more dynamic and has a more varied skillset.

 

McCaffrey is potentially better as a caste-buster than Gerhart was. Gerhart is a big back, a bruiser. Sure, he has good speed and can move, but does not completely bust up the stereotype like McCaffrey does. McCaffrey's skillset comes across more like a Reggie Bush, only more well-rounded.

Still, there are many HS backs with a skillset like Christians. They are ignored and toil away at NAIA schools in obscurity. Very few make it to a national program, one that I can think of off of the top of my head was Jake Sharp from Kansas. 4.3 speed, great hands and very quick. Being injured for much of his senior year was enough to get him written off, then he goes to Hatie Smiff as an UDFA and the rest was predictable.

 

Just read this on wiikepedia as I have always wondered how fast McCaffrey is. He ran a 10.75 100 meters in high school with also a 10.82 so the first time was probably legit and not wind-aided.

 

Very good article on McCaffrey by BSPN. Very race-centric...mostly about him being a White RB and why other college coaches didn't recruit him as such, but instead pigeonholed him as a generic "Athlete" and therefore missed an opportunity of getting one of the very best college running backs because of it. Credit to Stanford's black head coach, David Shaw, for seeing in him what others did not. Some interesting quotes and observations by Shaw about Christian as well.

 

Interesting...it was also a black assistant DB coach at USC; Dennis Thurman who give Jason Sehorn a shot at Corner Back despite his lack of melanin content

Looking forward seeing the explosive McCaffrey with more game changing plays this season! Nice article

Some scouts already trying to knockdown CM as a lead back. I cannot wait for him to prove them wrong!

 

What's a "lead back"?

 

It's not a knock. A "lead back" in NFL scout parlance just means primary running back, the guy who is going to get the ball the most. It's not shorthand for the guy leading and blocking, ie fullback.

 

They are predictably trying to label him as a third down/change of pace RB who would be more effective in the passing game than as a running back. One scout also manages to get in a knock on Danny Woodhead:

"Everybody wants to cut him short. You hear comparisons to guys like Danny Woodhead. I think that does him an injustice -- his athleticism is on par with other top backs."

Woodhead is one of the fastest, shiftiest, quick as a cat RBs in the NFL.



I just hope Christian has a healthy successful season at this point and I will enjoy watching it unfold.

 

UNREAL Punt Return for McCaffrey ! 96 yard TD....CALLED BACK...Block in the back...BARELY??? Another Highlight to add to the Heisman Reel missed out on...

At first your like "what is he doing fielding this punt"? But this dude is on another level...breaks a few tackles..makes a few moves...then it's off to the races...

 

McCaffrey with the nice 35 yard TD Run! The O-Line finally finding their groove

 

McCaffery picking up where he left off last year. Hopefully he will put up last years numbers.

Steelers rb Bell giving CM high praise as best rb in cfb. It speaks volumes of his talent when he is getting called best rb by an afleet.

 

Thanks. I didn't know that. Yes, from what I've seen of Christian, can't see him playing the stooge for any team.

 

CM with 260 all purpose yards tonight against USC. Of course Stanford won.

 

Solid effort by CM with 138 yards rushing. 5 ypc. against a determined UCLA defense. QB Burns bailed out the Cardinal with a late drive to win. CM can not get over 200 APY every game.

 

Big game for Stanford and McCaffery against No. 10 Washington tonight. Currently Stanford is No. 7. They win this at least No. 5.

 

ESPN doing a nice story Christian McCaffrey running Summer Camps for kids with downs syndrome

WHO MADE Stanford's "Schedule" this season?? It is already very tough...BUT to have the Bye on WEEK#2?? & Have 11 CONSECUTIVE WEEKS of football + PAC 12 Championship.....ouuch! Not cool....that's a grind...

>McCaffrey has 79 carries in 3 games so far(26 avg.)....can he keep up that pace ?...his build is similar to Reggie Bush...in his Heisman season only had 200 carries in 13 games (15.3 avg)...Power back Lendale White pounded the tough yards...keeping Bush legs fresher.... i want the ball in McCaffrey's hands as much as possible...BUT this "ridiculous schedule" needs to be monitored...may need to tweak his carries to 20-22 carries just in case..keep him fresh & winning Heisman better possibility

The stats are not as gaudy so far...however the 97 yard punt return TD was called back in opener...& vs USC the QB missed him on a wide open play from at least 50 yards for another TD...+ UCLA refused to punt to him last week......that makes a BIG difference ...You know McCaffrey is special when he is held to 140 yards...he's Electric!

QB Ryan Burns has played well & the new O-Line continues to gel
