"If"?
We need to just start preparing right now to assume that he's going to be injured. Kyle better get it through his mindset that he needs more than one RB and also realize that he can't kill that RB by using him on almost every play.
We need more than one running back? That's a point. Christian McCaffrey, Jordan Mason, Elijah Mitchell, Isaac Guerendo, and possibly Israel Abanikanda. Hmm, last time I checked 5 running backs is more than one running back. If they ALL get injured, though, the restrictions on roster size kind of have a negative impact. Of course some posters here will blame Shanahan and some will blame Purdy regardless.
You don't understand how percentages work do you? Lol, might want to educate yourself a bit on how Kyle has over used CMC, especially when you factor in his injury history.
Other leading RBs have had higher ATTPG but none of those RBs had RBs behind them with the YPC that Mason has had.
Take just 15%-20% of CMC's carries and give them to Mason, then you reduce the wear and tear to CMC who has proven to be injury prone his entire career.
Kyle should have preserved CMC as much as possible to reduce the injury risk. Yes, every player risks injury every play, but Kyle was paralyzed by his dependency of CMC.
