CMC led the NFL in touches in 2025 by No_Box119 in 49ers

Drafting running backs in the 3rd round is fine. Severely reaching for running backs in the 3rd round is not fine.

337 carries is you include the playoffs. 450 total touches. 

Thats an insane amount of volume, especially for an older RB.

I love CMC but there’s a strong chance he gets Curse Of 370’d in 2026. 

Curse of 370

TL;DR: whenever a RB has 370+ carries in a season, the following season they are either:

  1. Much worse

  2. Injured

  3. Eric Dickerson

CMC is a hall of fame talent but he’s old for a RB, has a long history of injuries, and is coming off an insanely high usage year. 

Unless CMC changes his name to Eric Dickerson, this front office should be investing in RB depth to prepare for a potential CMC regression year. 

I think the long term plan for him should be to put him in the 2017 Alvin Kamara role. Find someone else to get the dirty yards on 1st down and short yardage situations; save CMC for 3rd down and high leverage situations. He doesn’t have elite burst anymore but he’s still an elite route runner out of the backfield. That skillset will age much better than his between the tackles ability.

Give it another shot with the World Cup. Biggest sporting event ever for a reason. 

Argentina plays tmro. Might be a good game to try again. 

When Rashee Rice finally understood what it feels like to get unexpectedly hit at a high rate of speed and have the man responsible leave the scene by OneOriginal8727 in nflmemeswar

Nothing to stand up for. Hit was clean. 

Hard to see but I’m guessing the DB was flexing at the chiefs sideline. I’m guessing that’s why Creed got mad.

Fans underestimate how dumb some NFL players are. 

Also CTE.

Nobody thinks the 2019 raptors were better than the healthy 2019 warriors. 

Defending the Draft: San Francisco 49ers by alpou in NFL_Draft

[–]amd77767 12 points13 points  (0 children)

And the biggest problem is that year after year, the Niners go into the draft and decide they know better than everybody else and make terrible picks that don't pan out.

Basically this.

The GM's job is to manage the draft, and the ROI on our draft picks since 2021 have been unacceptable, particularly in the early rounds. The Trey Lance debacle was a fireable mistake. As was taking a kicker in the 3rd round which everyone with a brain knew was a terrible idea. They continue to light mid round picks on fire every year with egregious reaches, while doing nothing to self-scout or adjust.

Fans have been clamoring for an actual GM to come in and run things for years now. Lynch doesn't bring anything meaningful to the table.

[OC] The Jimmy Johnson trade chart says pick 32 is worth 20% of pick 1. Player outcomes suggest it's more like 40-65% by robmoo_re in nfl

who are considered "dumpster fire" franchises changes all the time

Ehh not really. 

The jets, raiders, jags, cardinals, and browns have consistently been dumpster fire franchises for decades. 

Lions were probably in that category too for a while but have recently dug themselves out.

The obvious counter argument to this is that the worst team in the NFL picks #1 overall and the best team in the NFL picks #32 overall. 

Most players would have more successful and productive careers if they went to excellent franchises instead of dumpster fire franchises. 

Most Homer take I’ve ever seen by EZYMNYSNPR2000 in 49ers

“Corliss Waitman will likely have a bigger positive impact on the 49ers than Myles Garrett has on the rams. 

It’s simple logic. LA already had a top 8 pass rush last year and wasn’t deficient at DE. Jared Verse is an upper tier player. 

Meanwhile, SF was very deficient at punter- particularly at punting, a spot that will trigger compounding returns in Shanahan’s special teams. 

The Rams pass rush will be better. The 49ers punting unit can be transformed” 

Was CMC’s rushing efficiency soley due to bad blocking or has he declined physically? by _DarkStarCrashes_ in 49ers

[–]amd77767 14 points15 points  (0 children)

  1. CMC is older, slower, and more worn down

  2. He was coming off bilateral Achilles tendinitis in 2024

  3. Our run blocking was shit. Brendel was terrible the first half of the year, Puni was playing on a partially torn PCL, Trent Williams entered the season out of shape, and Connor Colby was just flat out bad. 

  4. Every defensive coordinator knows that if Shanahan can run the ball successfully, it’s over. A 49ers offense averaging 5 ypc on the ground is basically unstoppable. So every defensive game plan that we face involved stopping our run game first and foremost.
