Christian McCaffrey might be the league's best RB but he's still almost definitely not worth his new contract Carolina made an investment that could limit their ability to improve their roster in the future If there is any running back out there who would seemingly be worth enough to buck the trend of high-dollar running back contracts turning out to be bad values, it's probably McCaffrey. And yet, a closer look at data not all that far beyond the surface level reveals why even this contract to this special of a player is probably not a good idea. Let's just start with the volume. McCaffrey handled 403 touches in 2019. He is wildly unlikely to ever receive that many touches in a single season ever again, considering there have only been 44 400-plus-touch seasons in the history of the league. Only nine players have ever received 400-plus touches more than once, and only five have done it more than twice. The most recent player to have multiple 400-touch seasons was LaDainian Tomlinson, and his last 400-touch campaign came in 2006. McCaffrey is one of the best runners in the league: among the 45 running backs who received at least 100 carries last season, his 4.83 yards per carry average ranked eighth. He's also probably the best receiving back in the league: he had 24 more catches than the next-closest back, and among the group of 13 who caught at least 50 passes in 2019, his yards per reception average ranked fifth. He was the only player to rank in the top 10 in yards per carry and top five in yards per reception. As such, his efficiency for a high-volume player was seemingly off the charts. And when you take a look at similarly high-volume players, that holds up. McCaffrey was one of 51 backs with at least 100 total touches last season. His 5.94 yards per touch average ranked fifth among that group. He was one of just 27 running backs with 200 touches or more, a group among which his yards per touch average ranked second, behind only Austin Ekeler (Saquon ranked 9th). But even among that narrower group, the gap between McCaffrey and the average player was not as large as it seems on the surface. Even if you want to lean on the (very reasonable) idea that there isn't another single back who could handle those 403 touches on his own, well, there's nothing stopping the Panthers from employing a two or even three-back committee and splitting the work among them. Giving two average 200-plus touch running backs 200 touches apiece yields essentially the same result as giving one of those backs the same workload as McCaffrey actually handled. The idea of McCaffrey is such a rare pass-catching running back that he's essentially a running back and a receiver seems appealing, but when you compare his pass-catching production to actual receivers, it falls apart. There have been 107 instances of a wideout catching at least 100 passes in a year. Only two of those 107 averaged less than 10 yards per reception. None averaged fewer than McCaffrey's (career-high) 8.7 mark from last season. The same is true of the five tight ends who have caught at least 100 passes in a season, each of whom averaged at least 9.5 yards per catch. www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/christian-mccaffrey-might-be-the-leagues-best-rb-but-hes-still-almost-definitely-not-worth-his-new-contract/It’s the exact same verse, chorus and refrain for all the skill positions except QB. There’s unicorns in every positional skill group. The very top of each invariably is getting overpaid. And that subset does include QB. |

Can someone please explain to me how having a great RB that touches the ball 25 times a game is not considered a great thing and worth the money?

What they continue to ignore is that it's all about production not position. Dan Lebatard was just talking about this. He said they have to pay him as a mix RB/WR because that's what modern RBs are. McCaffery is #2 all time on most catches in his first 3 seasons. He is the Panthers best receiver. He is their offense. |

SQB when fully healthy and a competent OL will be an amazing thing to watch. He is a well grounded kid (I think) with a great personality. All this could be said for McCaffery too. My issue is, it isnt top RBs on the SB teams for the most part. Its the top QBs. Its the top OLs. Its the top defenses. Time has shown us this. Invest in those areas. Build a solid foundation. Right now, I still dont think we have one (yet). |

If you can't then you have to ask yourself is the sum of the parts you can get for his money worth moving on? Simplified, the Panthers didn't think they could replace his rushing/receiving yards and TDs for less money, so they paid him.
The Rams on the other hand though they could replace what Gurley was giving them and moved on (injuries probably played a role here). Same thing happened in Pittsburgh when Bell held out. Conner came in and they realized they could replace him, for the most part, for much less money.
The Saints will be next in line to make this decision with Alvin Kamara. We will see what they think when it comes time to pay him.

Its odd though because they didnt have to YET unless they feel like he was going to hold out. They still had 2 more years on his contract, plus the tag if needed. I pray we dont give SQB a 4 year contract extension after this season. Especially if its for $18-$20M per season. What I would do if I was given the keys to the Giants right now, is ride out his contract the next 3 years, grinding him as the main workhorse with Gallman and Lewis as the backups, and if I feel like his production is still top line, franchise tag him (Probably about $14M?). Thats 4 more years. He would be 28 after that, and worn. |

Can someone please explain to me how having a great RB that touches the ball 25 times a game is not considered a great thing and worth the money? Because RBs are likely not going to continue that throughout that 2nd contract due to the injury risk. Happened with LeVeon, Jamaal Charles, Todd Gurley, DaVonte Freeman, jerick McKinnon, lamar miller, david johnson, DeMarco Murray, just off top of my head. RBs on large contracts just hamper your ability to build a team that can win games, they're either hurt or take up cap space for more impactful positions. I mean the only guys that played well on a big second contract were LeSean McCoy in Buffalo and Adrian Peterson, but those guys couldn't sniff the Super Bowl. You win just enough games to keep you from drafting a top QB and have too much cap tied up to build a top team. |

Not really. When teams start paying all their big talent for individual success, a team is usually at or close to its peak. It closes the door on future potential and that's just the way it is in the salary cap era with the exception of the Pats. Most fans don't give a flying **** if millionaires make a few extra million. They care if their team is stuck with a bad contract that prevents them from improving in the future. Do you actually think that the majority of us care if Barkley makes more than 20 million if he was leading the Giants to playoff victories and the Superbowl? The Giants are one of the worst teams in the NFL at this point and no, actual fans don't like handing out monster contracts while their team hasn't won more than 5 ****ing games in 4 years. No, we don't want the Giants to become the Knicks.... I'm sorry, but I just don't care. The Giants do not pay my bills, make my mortgage payments, or put food on my table. They can spend their money however they want to. The constant losing does suck, but it still isn't my money. If fans want to throw blame at any of this kind of stuff, blame the market and not the team paying players at or above FMV. I mean no disrespect towards fans that care about this stuff a lot. I just don't and won't. You care about draft picks, though right? |

OK
My take ....
If we do the right thing this draft we delete Soldier and Tate..and Zeitler is off the books after 2021(to be replaced hopefully by Hernandez's 2nd deal..
If we do things right we have Tomlinson and Williams long term...
IMO if you have your lines set you invest most of your cap space in the trenches (most being 50%)...
QB gets a major chuck
Let's say we draft for arguments sake Reagor....our dynamic outside guys are now on rookie deals...
We have cap space next year for one major splash..ams enough money to frontload a huge guaranteed number in 2021 and 2022...then Jones gets re upped
What I do is what I've been preaching....don't sink a lot of money resigning the recievers...cycle new ones in on rookie deals,so many talented recievers coming into the league every year,don't sink 95 million into a position that seemingly is the easiest one to replace..
Which is why giving Cooper that contract was assenine with how many great recievers Dallas could choose feom...

That's fair and at this point I think he's the guy but let's see what year two brings. Another reason why 2020=OL. Can't believe you replied seriously to a mocking post. Why would anyone care at this point about re-signing either one of them? You junior GMs are either too bored or just nuts. Yet you're okay rehashing old arguments about Simmons versus OT over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. LOL |

This thread will be 15 pages long of bickering. I’ll sit on the sidelines and watch.... The reason why is because people always have their noses in other people's wallets. Fans act like it is their money, when it clearly isn't. You do realize that if they spend poorly it reduces our chance of winning, right? |

Boredom. What they continue to ignore is that it's all about production not position. Dan Lebatard was just talking about this. He said they have to pay him as a mix RB/WR because that's what modern RBs are. McCaffery is #2 all time on most catches in his first 3 seasons. He is the Panthers best receiver. He is their offense. CMC is a household name that makes the Panthers money off and on the field. He is a superstar player that is fairly being compensated. IMO, part of the reason why the Panthers let Cam Newton go is because they want CMC to be the face of the franchise. I love watching him work. |

#1 Barkely is not up yet. If catches 60 to 80 balls a year and rushes for 1200 to 1400 and keeps scoring bunches of TDs maybe he gets paid. Supposedly the cap is set to explode go up a ton but who knows now what the economy will look like going into 2021. Think the boredom has gotten to a new high. All McCaffery's deal did is give teams with backs a picture of what it might look like. we will all see wether a guy who can catch and run it is worth more then a guy who just runs or just catches it. No one is throwing a guy who adds 9 to 12 TDs a year on the freeagent heap unless he is hurt.

Being opposed to an idea is not the same is not caring about the subject.

There are several threads I have never opened because it's not a subject I care about. |

The only reason why people get annoyed when their team hands out big contracts is the limitation it puts on the teams resources as it relates to the salary cap). They can spend their money however they want to. The constant losing does suck, but it still isn't my money. (Our course it's not your money, my money or and fans money but the fact remains that MONEY IS A MAJOR CONSIDERATION IN THE SALARY CAP ERA) If fans want to throw blame at any of this kind of stuff, blame the market and not the team paying players at or above FMV. I mean no disrespect towards fans that care about this stuff a lot. I just don't and won't. (This topic has a major impact on the game whether you want to talk about it or not. It is consistently discussed among GM's, Coaches and fans. In fact, Cap management is just as important as drafting players.) I added my replies. Money is a big part of the game but you seem to be under the impression that the fans would care about this topic if there wasn't a salary cap. We wouldn't. Also, you do actually care about this topic or you wouldn't join any conversation regarding Free Agency. All of Free Agency is directly related to the cap. The majority of the players come through free agency. Think about how many players a team drafts vs. how many players are on a teams roster. |
