Running back Christian McCaffrey made headlines once again on Sunday, October 23, when he made his debut for the San Francisco 49ers after completing a trade move from the Carolina Panthers earlier this week. The 26-year-old was one of the main attractions in the game, however, could not inspire his new team to a victory as the 49ers were beaten 23-44 by the Kansas City Chiefs.

However, Christian McCaffrey was one of the better performers for his side on the field as he made his debut. The San Francisco 49ers fans were also delighted to see him don the 49ers jersey for the first time as they flocked to social media platforms to speak about the running back and his performance in his debut game.

Christian McCaffrey registered 8 carries for 38 yards and 2 receptions for 24 yards in the loss against the Kansas City Chiefs in his debut. While he could not score a touchdown, McCaffrey looked like one of the standout performers for his side on Sunday.

Some fans pointed out that the Carolina Panthers beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers right after trading McCaffrey, whereas others criticized the 49ers and their head coach Kyle Shanahan for bringing in the running back and failing to win against the Chiefs.

“Only the #49ers would find a way to acquire Christian McCaffrey and actually be WORSE. #49wz #FTTB,” one user tweeted.

“The 49ers traded 4 draft picks for Christian McCaffrey just for him to be less efficient than *checks notes* an undrafted Jeff Wilson. #KCvsSF #FTTB,” another user wrote on Twitter.

One fan criticized the San Francisco 49ers for not using the running back properly, which resulted in their defeat against the Chiefs.

“@49ers you should be ashamed of yourselves picked up @CMC_22 and you don’t even use him. Best back in the league and you waste him before coming there he had 115 yards a game. You guys are pathetic. I’m sorry @CMC_22 they don’t know how to use you that’s why they always lose!”

The San Francisco 49ers will face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 8 in their next game.
