    What part of "best athlete" do people forget. I mean. What chance does a smart white kid not in the SEC have to be an athlete?

    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.

    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.

    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.
