Re: Saints Likely To Trade 2024 1st Round Pick

He has always been injured a few games a year so he is not the rare ultra-durable RB.

Kamara has played 13 games more than McCaffery who in the 2020 & 2021 seasons played a combined 10 games. Stat Wise they are the same Running Back.

Below are the career stats per the NFL. Spin them any way you want.

Christian McCaffery Gms Plyd 75 Yds 4726 YPC 4.7 TD 38 20+ 22

Alvin Kamara Gms Plyd 88 Yds 5135 YPC 4.5 TD 49 20+ 24

I said Kamara was not ultra durable. Obviously he is more durable that Mr Glass McCaffrey.

Career stat wise they are the same running back. Year by year Kamara started hotter as a rookie and declined greatly in yards per attempt the last two years without Brees. Meanwhile McCaffrey had a mediocre rookie season but rushed his career average ypc last year and has never declined despite never having a Brees to play with and having many offenses like the 2021-2022 Saints ones.

Clearly McCaffrey is more injury prone, but there is more evidence Kamara’s skill is declining. Regardless, I would not like to be on the hook for lots of money to either one in their 30’s. Neither looks like an Adrian Peterson type who will outlast all their peers, and as we see with Jamaal Williams, running backs are a dime a dozen when they are no longer young and absolutely elite.

Simply stating "Without Brees" is omitting a ton of context...

Kamara played behind a decimated O line, WR corp and backup after backup QB.

You are being far too logical, sf76.
