I figured this would come up eventually so I will bring it up now since training camps open soon.
Who will have the better year barring injury, Christian McCaffrey or Leonard Fournette?
Carolina is supposed to have a suspect line but with the return ability and slot reps. I think CM will have a huge year as where Fournette is a one trick pony who also will be lining up behind a suspect line.
CM should easily win rookie of the year with an outside shot at NFl player of the year if Carolina is serious in using all of his talents.

It depends in so many factors that in my laymans opinion ist Impossible to deliver a realistic prognosis. BUT: Christian had defied the odds and delivered time and time again.
Like the Iowa game 2015. He was being Hyped up before the game and you can be Sure the Iowa D gameplanned specifically to Stop him. 1st play on offense: approx. 50 Yard TD Catch & run.

Apologies for the Caps midsentence all the time, posting with a german phone...

I watch this video at least once a week Chris. I was fortunate enough to be in a hospital overnight during the pack 12 title game of 2015 where McCaffrey scorched USC all night. I swear the announcers must have said his name over 600 times that night. I bring this up because as McCaffrey scored on the first play against Iowa here he caught a 40 yard pass for the first play of the game against USC in 2016. Did they not remember the previous year? You would think the way USC got torched the year before they might have wanted to make CM their primary and secondary concerns in the 2016 game plan.
