As a pass catcher..3 or 4. That's his bread and butter. Dude could be a slot WR.

fun fact the 4 games CMC was with Jimmy our offense was 2nd in EPA per play, 2nd in yards per attempt, 2nd in offensive DVOA.

dude was the rocker star of our offense last yr and it was mainly because of the pass catching chops/miss matches he brought to the table there.

I'm praying Kyle doesn't run him into the ground. Thoughts on a good number or touches per game for him?

honestly 15-18 ideally but up to ~22 depending on gamescript would be perfect especially if we see growth from the young RBs

It would be ideal if Mitchell could develop into the pass catcher as CMC so we don't lose much when we rest CMC. And if he ever gets healthy, that's something they should work hard on this pre season. Even as a primary.

I think this tweet shows a great glimpse of the impact CMC had last season.

Christian McCaffrey 🤝 Steph Curry

Kyle Shanahan used the example of Curry's floor-spacing impact to illustrate McCaffrey's field-spacing impact for the 49ers.

This is also why I really want to see Trey run an offense with CMC and Kyle having CMC out there.

For everyone dismissing the schematic advantage it's pretty clear and was very obvious on tape. The guy is a coverage magnet. Every QB who plays with him, especially when combined with the playmakers we have around him benefits greatly from his presence and clearly it allows Kyle to be in his bag.

Mitchell will never be the pass catcher Mac is. But he's a solid option to go to.

Chubb is the best RB with Henry, facing stacked boxes with little to no passing game(s). However, McCaffery is the most valuable rb in the league

Definitely the most versatile, but I wouldn't rank him as the best RB and wouldn't want to. In Shanny's system, would you rather have Emmitt Smith or Marshal Faulk? I'd take the latter 10 outa 10 times.

Those are two tremendous backs. Emmitt could do it all, that includes, catching out of the backfield and pass protection. Faulk was a near perfect back in his own right tho. Let's add LaDainian to the convo, seeing prime LDT with Shanny would be something.

On CMC, the hope here is he stays healthy, so usage is an issue. Load management.

Good thing we have Elijah Mitchell to be healthy for three or four games out of the whole year to help with his load management
