CMC, Elite RB who will start!

Agreed. That's a big "If" though.

Just the thought of how good this Offense should and could be, especially next season with Lance at QB ( Assuming he lives up to his hype ) we'll be scoring points for fun that's also assuming we stay healthy and Kyle gets creative again.

as talented as CMC is now, I just don't think he is MORE talented than Ricky Watters.. how many times had CMC gone over 1000 yards rushing?

CMC is a lot more talented than Watters

That says a lot, because Ricky Watters was an excellent RB, and one of my favorite Niners of all time!

You would know Tom!

CMC is NOT more talented than Watters..

Watters can play the WR position ... Watters can be a BELL COW.. Watters can return punt and kick-offs.

CMC is very talented, but he's NOT more talented than Watters.. you can compare him to the old D.Meggett or E. Metcalf..

Why in the world are you writing like Grant Cohn?

I've never seen Cohn write anything.. He must be in your mind a lot..

lmao - wannabe cohn :)

In what world is CMC a WR, a bell cow back or capable of returning kicks? He's literally been all of that.

Say what you will about trading for a RB but he most certainly can ball

Can you point out the bad reps Banks had during the ATL game? Tomlinson was average last year during the regular season and played rather poorly in the playoffs. I also remember Tomlinson allowing his QB to get killed a couple of times in 2020. So I am not sure where you got the idea that Tomlinson played well in those 2 seasons.

As far as CMC, he will be a part of the running game obviously. But I think he will have a bigger impact on the passing game. He will take some pressure off of both Jimmy and Deebo. That could be enough to jump start this offense going into the second half of the season.

Tomlinson was a pro bowler last year

So what if he was a pro bowler last season? Tomlinson still looked like s**t in the playoffs and is playing like s**t again this season. Definitely not worth starter money. Which is why we opted to roll with Banks instead of paying Tomlinson.

I was thinking the same way. The funny thing is that in my franchise Elijah Mitchell is out with an injury too and I'm relying on Jeff Wilson and TDP.

Just calling out your BS here. You don't make the pro bowl, even as an alternate, if you don't play well. Who cares how he turned out this year? Nobody guessed that, and if Tomlinson wasn't a free agent, John and Kyle would've kept playing him. Its a great thing that Banks turned out to be good, but don't get it twisted. The coaching staff loved Tomlinson.

This is Moon we're talking about, claims he was around for the 80s, yet acts like a child with stupid nicknames.

youre wrong and i doubt youre old enough to have been an adult watching Watters play for the Niners in the early 90s. i am.

and yes CMC can also return kicks if he had to. look at his college career.

I watched every game that Watters played in on the 49ers...

I think Watters is better too.

CMC seems to be more disciplined, and unquestionably has a better short yard burst, he is Frank Gore like. I also don't think it is debatable CMC has better hands, I don't recall Watters having circus catches let alone one handed snags with just shear hand strength.

I think they both run hard and are true RBs when it comes to taking them down. Watters was probably the stronger runner.

Watters is probably faster in a straight line, and unquestionably more agile. Watters was a deep threat, and could be an actual NFL flanker. Not that CMC has poor vision, but Watters was a cut-back king, he has top tier vision, combined with rare patience to allow his blocks to set up, probably why most of us remember him weaving though traffic as often as we do.

Having said that, CMC never had Steve Young, Never had Rathman or Floyd blocking for him, never had the pass threat of Rice and Taylor, Never had an historically great NFL offensive system to work with-in. So what I think today could easily change.

I would not compare CMC to Craig.

Craig is a unicorn.

Craig at FB was simply AMAZING. When we had the double FB backfield of Craig and Rathman it was really fun to watch.

People forget how often the FB touched the ball for Bill Walsh.

Take Juice's impact and multiply it by 10, then you are in the realm of Craig.

Craig was closer to Frank Gore lite, and then add in Kittle in one dude, THEN stick him at FB so you can keep all your WRs, your RBs and your TE on the field at the SAME TIME.

Yeah! Looks at his own username, even though he was born in the 70's.

I'm still pretty upset all we gave up for him, we basically gave them a Pettis, Sermon, wishnowsky and a Joe Williams

I'm upset we had to give up a 5th in 2024, that's our money round lol, but seriously, glad to have CMC, I really was hoping they'd trade for him.

Good one, AB…that was my line a few pages back, but i included rds 6 & 7 also.

Tongue in cheek, i noted this should "calm" that very loud segment of fans who routinely "bithc" about our early rd picks, (except in case of naturals like Bosa,) as now we don't have those early rds. Was CMC worth it? Depends on one thing…staying on the field. In last couple yrs he played only 3 and 7 games. Good news is those weren't ACLs or cartilage tears. Still, injured is injured.

As for Wilson and his almost 5 yds/carry…that is great, BUT…you ask any HC about a guy who puts the ball on the ground twice in last several games, and they will uniformly say, "No thanks". Fumbles, particularly in good extended drives and also in RZ, are not just turnovers, they are game killers. And that is Wilson in a nutshell. Good as he is, i get the heebie-jeebies when he carries the ball, esp in RZ or on long drives. YPC doesn't mean squat when your RB is doing that….or worse, breaks the team's morale.

And Christian is the antithesis of that. This was an ugly trade for Rams, Bills, and KC…all potential teams in SB, along with us assuming we get healthy once again.

So looking at CMC's injuries…the extent of it is a couple high ankle sprains, A/C joint sprain and hammy pull.

for whatever reason I thought the dude tore his ACL or achilles. I mean sprains suck and can reoccur but not as bad as what I initially thought.

And it was during the Covid season where no one had a regular offseason program and dudes all over the league were getting injured.

Hopefully that's a blessing in disguise. If he had stats those last two years like he did the first three years, he definitely would be more expensive to acquire.
