He obviously eased those doubts yesterday.

he isnt a big back so that shouldn't be surprising he has elite vision he just needs a hole. He isnt like the bigger backs we have who breaks tackles he will evade them in open space

Well I think he took it to heart because one of the coaches said he was all in his feelings last week after the win against Miami. He comes out this week and rips the bucs a new a*****e.

Wait, CMC was not happy with his game against the Dolphins? I understand he could have been better on the run but he was awesome all around.^^
Well I guess that´s why he ´s a great player. He´s never happy and always wants to do better.

Yes. He was not happy with how he played in the dolphins game. Probably due to dropping that 1st TD pass and not rushing the ball well (3.9 YPC).

From what I heard through various sources is that he feels he needs to live up to what the Niners gave up to acquire him. I don't mind when players play with a chip on their shoulder. Especially if it leads to a performance like he had yesterday.

As I understand it, CMC is a consummate professional. We gave up a lot of draft capital to get here, but not only is he a top 10 player in the league when healthy, he's exactly the type of guy you want in your locker room. In hindsight, it's a no-brainer to go get him.

700 combined yards, 6 TDs in 7 games (and one of those was a few days after he got traded here). Not bad.

It's not just what he's done. The threat of what he can do presents problems for defenses.

i remeber there were a lot of peeps saying we traded for an injury prone rb and gave up too much. IF i had to do it again i would do the same trade and then some.

I openly admit when the idea of trading for CMC was first proposed I didn't like it cause I don't think RBs should ever be payed. But I did enjoy the idea of having this many weapons on our offense. I also didn't think we would actually make the trade. I enjoy being wrong and have no problem admitting I was wrong.

Totally agree, he's been an absolute game changer on offense, and the MVP on that side of the ball since arriving. Even taking away his traditional running plays, just having a short yardage checkdown player of his caliber opens creates huge opportunities and spreads the defense out so much.
