I haven’t seen any 2019 NFL MVP odds yet. But McCaffrey is an interesting long shot. He might have an historic season.
In a fair world he would be one of the favorites. Two problems I see. One is the mvp is almost always on a winning team with a chance at the super bowl. Your relying on Cam Newton and
the rest of the guys to play better. Two we know the nfl doesn't want white running backs let alone a white rb winning the mvp. The leagues worst nightmare. They would rig the voting just
like how Cmac got screwed our of the heisman. We all know he deserved to win it. Only in anti white america. No let me add this anti white world we live in. Not just this country.
Interesting that the Panthers have two white studs who in retrospect should have been the number one picks in their drafts. or at least considered in that stratosphere.
CM was chosen 8th behind average WR Corey Davis. I recall posting here there was a rumor CM could be the number one pick but the caste laden cold feet syndrome kicked in and he fell to 8th. Mike Greenberg didn't think he was even NFL material. Greenberg is beyond a rat. He is a sniveling snake. The guy is a serpent.
One interesting footnote to the 2017 draft. CM's teammate DL Solomon Thomas was chosen third. I can retrieve my piece here on him prior to the draft but I had said at the time after watching all of the Stanford games because of CM obviously that I didn't even know who Thomas was until the very end of the season. Which means he didn't do anything. Mediocre as a 49er, what in the hell are these GMs thinking when they draft these overrated black players?
Andrew Luck was chosen number one in the 2012 draft and probably most people would say that was right on. I say almost. Second seems better. Why? Because Luke Kuechly was in that draft and was chosen 9th behind, among other lesser talents, get this, the great WR Justin Blackmon who drugged himself out of the league in about a minute.
Luck is top tier. But if it was my pick the first player off the board would have been the best defensive player in all of football and arguably the best player period in the NFL the past several years, Luke Kuechly.
I remember close to the draft a lot of mocks still had McCaffrey going late first round to the likes of NE and GB. Which I would have loved to NE, but, I was thinking to myself surely there's no way he doesn't go top ten. He is the perfect modern RB, catches and runs to the highest level. Thankfully he was so good, you couldn't ignore. Harry Smith also in 2012 should have been top ten, to look back and see Barron taken so far ahead of him.
On the negative side I always remember that draft for Jake Bequette, as I was pumped when we took him.
Louis Riddick last night was raving about Christian's training this offseason, saying he "looks like Captain America."
Christian McCaffrey should be put in MVP conversation
by Danny Jaillet
The Carolina Panthers running back is being put into the MVP conversation. Carolina Panthers running back Christian McCaffrey is turning heads. After an impressive 2018 season in which he proved he could be a do-it-all running back in the National Football League, he looks to improve upon those numbers in his third year.
If one thing is for certain, it was that he avoided the sophomore slump and he truly showed he had what it took to be a starter. That was certainly encouraging for a team that did not have many bright spots last year.
There were some questions heading into last year’s offseason about whether he would be durable enough to play the game and if he could run between the tackles. Those questions were quickly answered as he put up tremendous numbers on the ground and became a major part of the Carolina Panthers offense. Not only did he run between the tackles, he bruised his way into running lanes. Not only did he catch passes, he used his lightning speed to turn simple screens into touchdowns. With what was a difficult workload, he showed that he had the stamina to endure that and Excel. Now in his third year, the Carolina Panthers should look to take some of the pressure off him offensively.
It appears that some of the national media is taking notice of his hard work, and that is a great thing. You have heard me say before that the Carolina Panthers get no love from the national media whatsoever. Now, they may get too much of it. Between their new show on Amazon and the amount of talented players they have on both sides of the football, they could receive the respect they finally deserve.
In his appearance on Good Morning Football on Tuesday, Peter Schrager of NFL Network was quick to praise McCaffrey.
“If Cam Newton’s shoulder is fine and this team can move, this guy is going to possibly be an MVP candidate,” said Schrager of McCaffrey. “He was unbelievable last year. They started off 6-2, he was in the conversation (for MVP), only got better. I think he might be the most exciting player in football, and might be the best dual-threat running back … might be the best running back in the game.”
I agree with him, Christian McCaffrey got stronger as the year went on, and he was the only reason the Carolina Panthers were in a lot of the games towards the end. He could be a viable MVP candidate, and I’ll even go as far as to say he could be the reason they go to the playoffs next year.
