CMC, Elite RB who will start!

Dude, that 7:00 mark

Anyone in this thread not excited that we added this guy is probably not a real football fan. There were a few eye popping plays in that video. He will make our run game as well as our passing game better.

who cares? he's a FF guy. they don't look at the game in real terms.

lol I'm not sure why you guys hate FF so much. Literally every guy I know plays fantasy football lol...

i dont hate FF guys. i play.

but these "experts" view the game from a completely different lens and it usually has nothing to do with how you win real football games.

My issue with twitter guy is he said CMC solves zero problems for the 49ers. I say he solves the problem of Jeff Wilson playing the role of a starting RB. I don't like RBs that have ball security issues. He has a history of fumbling and that's a non-starter for me. If a RB can't hang on to the rock, then get off the field, because that's a problem.
My bad for thinking twitter guy was unverified. I didn't see the checkmark but it's there.

I 100% agree with the bolded.

CMC has the ability to change direction in a split second and can make guys miss. He is like having another Deebo on the field when it comes to YAC and YCO. I am curious how defenses are going to key in on two YAC monsters with one in the backfield and one split out? Deebo and Jimmy have a real connection on that quick slant but teams are really keying in on that this year. Now we have a YAC monster coming out of the backfield on that slant flat concept. Pick your poison.

Bingo!

I joke about QB's and skill positions transcending the OL but in this case, CMC actually can make them look better than their blocking and help us tremendously in first down production.

Then, like you noted, there's endless ways to use him in the passing game including his excellent skill set in pass protection while still being able to flare out afterwards as an outlet.

I'm excite.

Ok with this trade. I hope we dont ask him to be the bell cow RB. When healthy we have a good RB stable. Just concern with his injury history.

We are putting alot of resources into the running game. Time to dominate. No excuses.

No way we keep mitchell on the bench when he is healthy.

If we're not going to use kittle in the passing game, then we should use Juice as the #2TE with JWJ at FB and CMC at RB

then we can have a real pass catcher down field, not uh-ohner

That is a good thing i believe.

I'm excited for Cmac but I think we overpaid. The FO is not afraid to overpay .. which to me is not "courageous", it's just dumb.

We're going to paying Juice and Cmac around $18M combined. The opportunity cost is, say, an elite edge rusher. Imagine adding someone like Von Miller instead. And this isn't even taking into account the draft picks.

Just because we can use flashy rhetoric like "offensive weapon" doesn't justify the cost. Running backs have short shelf lives and are way too interchangeable. Obviously I am excited to watch him play, but I think this is a dumb move. Hope I'm wrong.

Mitchell never has and never will stay healthy unfortunately

Gotta swing for the fences. Boom or bust I love this move. As everyone knows by now the draft pick cost is really not that bad. We're getting a handful of comp pics back due to players/coaches leaving. And CMC isn't just a "running back". He's arguably the best running back in the league and also one of the best receivers in the league.

Besides, what edge rusher like von miller is going to be available to us this year via a trade? Brian Burns? He's going to cost 2x as much as CMC in salary and picks.

My thoughts are if he's healthy and we can keep him on his feet, we'll be fine, if we can get all of these damned injuries under control. Last year the guy was playing with a f**ked up throwing hand and shoulder that required surgery. If f**kin Trent Dilfer can win a Superbowl, there's no reason Jimmy can't. Not that it will be easy, or non nerve wracking, but it's far from impossible with the defense we have, if we get most of it back.

Does he understand that not running the ball well IS our biggest offensive problem right now? Would the Giants be 5-1 without Saquon? Not likely. That's how much a special RB can lift a team. And he does not catch like CMC, so I'm gonna respectfully disagree with this take. Once he's comfortable in our system, the rest of the league is screwed.

Who the f**k is Patrice Daughters? And are we talking about CMC or Jimmy?

It was a knock on Jimmy G. Go figure.

But when he is healthy, Mitchel will make a great 1-2 combo in the back field with CMC. Plus Deebo is used as a RB also. My point was that CMC will not be asked to be a bell cow. Which is what the post I was responding to was hoping wouldn't happen. I gave them a reason why it wouldn't happen.
