Kamara has also played in 92 games to CMCs 82 games. On a MUCH better offense for most of it.
That whole class is pretty wild.
Didnt add Fournette to the above because I could only do 6.
Does games played really matter though? Wouldn’t touches be a better indicator of use?
Maybe, but id also argue being able to be the workhorse is worth something over someone who gets 12 a game for more yards per carry.
Either way all of those guys are studs for the most part.
2019 is a great example of how dominate this RB class was. That season, 14 RBs had at least 1,300 yards from scrimmage. 8 were from this draft class (McCaffrey, Fournette, Cook, Jones, Ekeler, Carson, Mixon, Kamara). That list doesn't even include Kareem Hunt who led the league in rushing yards their rookie year. Just crazy depth for a single class.
Man that’s an interesting af comparison!
They’re actually all fairly close in most stats!
My man Jones still with the least carries has the 5.1 ypc lead. But for the most part they’re all fairly statistically close in every single category except that CMC and Kamara have a strong lead in catches and receiving yards. But even with almost 200 more catches, CMC only has 7 more receiving tds than Jones.
It really is wild how close they all are. What happened to Cook, though? I thought he was cooking for a few years and now it seems almost like he’s burned out his motor? And I honestly don’t know Conner. Is he that good, just on the Cardinals?
That whole class is pretty wild.
That was the year we decided to wait and draft Donnel Pumphrey in the 4th ¬¬
Where will CMCs rushing yards stack up with 54 more carries? Not an insignificant number.
Kamara is behind in receptions. With 3 more catches in this Saints offense, he could have like 1 more receiving yard.
He's also ahead in games played by 10 damn games lol. Absolutely wild to say they have almost the same stats and leave out the fact that Kamara has played the equivalent of >an extra half of a season
Alvin has slowed down a little but for the most part they are both still going strong
Has anyone seen those 2 guys in the same room at the same time???
Important stat left off:
Las Vegas club beat downs handed out:
Kamara: 1
CMC: 0
Let's heat this thread up. We can say the difference between them is the amount of nightclub beatdowns (1 vs 0) but the true difference between them is how CLASSY, DATEABLE, SCRAPPY and STEREOTYPE BREAKING Christian McCaffrey is.
Plenty of folks regardless of race are popular despite their past (Ray Lewis, Peyton Manning, etc)... don't try to tell me the club thing is affecting Kamara. No one really cares... Saints vs 9ers is a better argument
Wow this is eye opening. It feels that most people would not put kamara in the same level of elite as McCaffrey and would assume he was like the next tier down. I’m guilty of this but you just changed my mind
Kamara and CMC were the 2nd ever pair of rookies to have 75+ receptions. Had Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry not done it the year prior they would have been the first.
Would've been crazy if two running backs were the very first but whatever still crazy to me.
What about last year when I drafted Kamara in fantasy and he refused to produce 🥲
!nflcompare
If you discount CMC's efficiency, sure.
OP just waves off the 10 game! Fucking difference.
“Oh these guys are totally the same”.
Idiotic post and this sub is eating it up
One cuts plea deals for assault in the off season. The other makes cringe Lowes commercials.
I’d like to see the percentage of runs vs stacked boxes etc because not all teams are the same. CMC has never had a first ballot hall of famer at QB.
Kamara carrying the team after Brees left. I'd give him that nod over CMC, although CMC missed probably a whole seasons worth of games and output the same.
