Mac will have a better year next year.  He's going to develop more lower body power and explosiveness, which will get move his yards per carry average up half a yard.  We haven't his best because he's only 20--twenty--and five years from his athletic peak.

He is very likely to be remembered as the greatest running back in college football history--a Reggie Bush with better vision and more power.

McCaffrey will be better next year, but that doesn't mean his stats will be better.

I think a lot of it will depend on how we replace the QB and the left side of the OL.  I think the WRs, TEs and other backs will be better.  It will be very interesting to see how much the new QB steps up and whether he can pass at Hogan's level or better.  And of course, it will be interesting to see how the new LT and LG work out.  I think they'll be fine, not as good as Garnett and Murphy but at least fine.

Will McCaffrey get better numbers next year?  Maybe.  He set the all-purpose record.  Hard to do that two years in a row...
