Original Title: So Christian McCaffrey is most likely gonna lead his team in receiving yards and rushing yards for the 2nd time in his career, and first person to post double 1000 rush/rec yards, how does that affect his all time RB ranking
McCaffrey, Roger Craig and Marshall Faulk have all led their teams in both receiving and rushing yards and all have had 1000/1000 rush rec yards.
Barring injury, McCaffrey will hit both those hurdles for the 2nd time and on a 2nd team (his first time was Carolina). The only person to do either of these things.
This is obviously insanely rare.
McCaffrey won’t catch Faulk in career TDs, 136 to 94, rushing yards 12279 to 7236, and he is about 1500 yards behind in receiving yards.
Roger Craig hasn’t made the hall of fame, Fred Taylor, Steven Jacskon, Corey Dillon all had more rushing yards than McCaffrey is gonna end up with most likely with over 11,000. Guys like Jamal Lewis (over 10000 yards rushing) and Chris Johnson (9600ish) had 2000+ yard rushing season and aren’t gonna make it. Ricky Watters another 2 way back finished with 10k yards and hasn’t made it.
Could it be that McCaffrey has two of the greatest seasons ever at RB and he doesn’t even get in the hall?
edit:
If he finishes the season at his current rate, it will be the 4th time he leads the league in yards from scrimmage, Sanders, Faulk, Payton, and Smith only did that twice.
Also, people are claiming volume stats, while that might be partially true, he has a 58.9% success rate on receiving yards which is higher than most wrs and means his catches aren’t 5 yards on 3rd and 12. His rushing succ % is 46.8% which is kinda average. So it is not bad volume.
