tricky part with evaluating QBs is you have to give them credit for blowout wins because those aren’t easy to do, but some just don’t have it when the games get tough. Purdy was in the same boat.
Depends how many seasons CMC gets, and obviously his recieving isnt quite what it was in his early years, but if he can do like 2-3 more years of 1000yd rushing, 500yd recieving, I like his odds.
Pro Football RB Hall of Fame Monitor | Pro-Football-Reference.com Not sure how much stock to put into this but CMC is very low here
My immediate thought was that him and Henry are the only current running backs worthy of the hall. McCaffrey is special, I feel like.
He's the highest on that list among active players (by a decent margin), and has ~40-50 games less than most of the guys ahead of him. I mean, Im not sure any RB after AP is gonna get in, but, I'd say CMC has the best chance.
The year he inexplicably didnt win MVP, he was the #1 RB by a couple hundred yards and I believe the #5 or 6 WR on the season too. I think its the most impressive thing I've ever seen any player do (and on a shitty team, to boot)
Prob saved him, he was hurt on a shitty Panther team that would have ran him into the ground way faster if he didn't miss that time
good season for the packers (and probably overachieved tbh, which is why im not too mad about the loss) Love had his ups and downs during the season but he turned it on the last two months and established himself as a top QB in the league I think, finally started clicking with the young skill position players also. I think an offseason of camp/and being a rapport with them they could take another step. it just sucks they of course lose to the fucking 49ers like they do seemingly every playoff lol
imagine if the chiefs and bucs win tomorrow and instead of getting a packers/lions/bills/texans in the championship games we're stuck with the 49ers, bucs, ravens and chiefs who does a neutral even root for then? Lamar I guess? Or Baker just cause fuck the Browns?
I also think he can catch a bonus for a “change the game” argument. He’s not the first RB to catch passes. But to be a legit WR who happens to be a 1,000 yard rusher too is bananas.
I think Lamar/Baker is the best narrative there; two QBs who kind of expose the worst qualities of NFL owners (fine with sexual predators, racists/colluding to keep player salaries down).
