CMC was tough to stop the last time we played him in 2019 with the Panthers too because he's a great player. In 2019 CMC had 2,392 yards from scrimmage and 19 totals TDs. I thought he should've won the MVP, but Lamar had a year too and most importantly, it likely hurt him that the Panthers won five games on the MVP caliber stats of that season. To your point, spending those picks and adding him to the SF team took a 10 win NFCC loser and made them a 13 win NFCC loser on that freak in game decimation of the 9ers QB against Philly. Which in turn goes to my overarching point that a great running back doesn't make bad teams good but does help good teams become great. A final piece, not a foundation piece.

For that same reason I figure he's going to get yards this week. We just have to keep them from being explosive plays.  He's had a number of long runs burst open this season.

I don't think you can contain him to 10 touches, 40 yards - they're going to put the ball in his hands because he is the pulse of their offense. And that is precisely why they traded for him and didn't just stick with guys like Trey Sermon or Raheem Mostert to be the face of their offense.
