Am I the only one here who doesn't GAFA kick return yardage? Get the kick at the goal line and stupidly plow straight ahead, and you should still average over 15 ypr just because the coverage isn't there yet. Do that four times a game over a 13-game season, and that's 1000 yards for doing what any stiff could do in that position.

McCaffery was 2nd in NCAA in total KO return yards, and 6th in the NCAA in Avg KO return yards. Doesn't sound like a stiff to me.

Pretty much - because you're a Cal fan that has never watched successful football, and, therefore, doesn't understand the value of "special teams."
You are still working on getting a productive O and D on the same field.

Yes, he was pretty good at kick returning. But not all teams have their featured RB as their kick returner. That gives him a lot of free yards in his total yardage numbers. I've had to hear a lot about him breaking Barry Sanders' total yardage record, but Barry had fucking 2600 yards rushing in 11 games. He had to fight for his yards. McCaffery, not so much.

SCOREBORED, BAYBEEE
I've seen your offense, you're in the same boat
Thanks to the wonder of cable Television, I've watched plenty of successful football. Rarely, it's come with a Cal script on the helmet. Equally rarely, it's come with a W on the helmet.

You guys are arguing over what is worth more- a dine or a nickel.

Best player on "best team", you are right. Best player....McCaffrey, and it's not really close.
Disagree. McCaffrey did not separate himself from the other two. Fact is an argument can be made for any one of the three. I would have liked to have seen McCaffrey win but Henry did run for more yardage and scored a lot more touchdowns. I also think he was perhaps a more valuable player to his team than McCaffrey. Henry's bigger and more powerful, and arguably faced tougher defenses while running behind a slightly inferior line. I suspect that if the two of them traded teams Henry's numbers go up and McCaffrey's go down. Anyway, it's moot, Henry won and good for him.
As an aside, I've been a little surprised that Deshaun didn't get a little more love. That kid had a hell of a season and was the key to Clemson's success.
Henry: 2000 rushing and 23 TDs, 100 rec yards McCafferey: 1850 rushing and 12 TDs, 500 rec yards
Although he didn't get as many receiving yards, Henry had almost twice as many TDs and played on a playoff team. But I'm sure it's ESECPN or something, right?
But what about the kick/punt return yardage McCafferey had you didn't include?
Also, didn't Stanford have a fb who had 13 one yard td runs? If McCafferey gets those and Henry still wins (which he would have) then what about the ESECPN thing?
