N/S Christian McCaffery ruled out again (1 Viewer)

As much as I hate to say it this could be the beginning of the end for CMAC. The injuries he has are no joke especially for a running back.

In 8 seasons he's touched the ball almost 2,000 times not counting the plays that he was on the field that the ball didn't go to him. That's A LOT of football. The wear is starting to show.

Hopefully he doesn't need a backiotomy

I dunno where this came from but is this gonna be around the rest of the season?

I shoulda waited to post what I said after this. We saw him play a LOT of ball in our division alone and I just didn't think he'd last but maybe another season .... or at least be effective at ALL again. But, as I said, he got his second act. Hated seeing him play for Panties but never hated him and was happy for him he found a new home. This probably is it for being effective.

He had horrible hamstring issues as a Panther.

I wonder if the calf and achilles injuries are related due to compensation from gimpy hamstrings?

Or like others said previously, it could just be a workload and age thing.

Either way, he’s a dynamic back when healthy.

20 games last season and over 400 touches was not smart usage by the niners

I always felt bad for him that he had to play for the Panthers and with Cam Newton. I felt like he did everything they asked of him and when he went to the 9ers I was happy for him. You could almost see the relief he felt getting away from the Panthers. At least I thought so.

Unfortunately, time and injuries will always come to roost and he's probably on his way out as a dynamic RB anymore. I always liked him as a player.

With them it really doesn't matter. My dead grandma could probably run for 150 in that offense.

That curse is real. It is funny and coincidental but people are raising their eyebrows every time these players going through something after being on the cover.

 

[Pas Bon]

There also talks of him being placed on IR, The Madden curse is real

I don’t know of a single player in any sport who’s been hurt as much as him (ok, he may be tied with Lance McCullers, Jr. for the Astros).

 

[RaginCajun83]

Lance hasn’t pitched since the 2022 World Series

Ive heard that they are saving him for later in the season and playoffs. He isn't needed in the regular season. Shannahan can just pretty plug and play any RB with his scheme and talent he has on offense
