Panthers to sign Miles Sanders

So you like an injury prone RB who has no impact on the passing game. His backups would often times look a lot better than him when given the chance. Had the best run blocking o-line but still didn’t stand out much. Had 16 yards rushing in the SB.. Signed him to a 4 year deal which will look horrible in a few years. If you like this signing, more power to you bud. Sorry that I’m actual able to think for myself and be critical over a signing compared to a low iq sheep like you who jumps for joy no matter who we sign. 

He had 50 catches for 500 yards his rookie year. I’d say he can produce in the passing game just fine if called upon.

I think he'll do good for us. I have to wonder about his blocking because Philly wasn't using him to the extent that I would've expected. He can be electric, especially if he gets in the open field. 

On an off note, I think some of you hate Chuba just because Rhule drafted him. He's underrated here. Yes, his hands aren't that great, but last season--you know, the season where we got an O-line--his average YPC was the same as Miles' (4.9).

Hi I watch a lot of teams play.

I know a lot of HBs struggle with pass protection and struggle with catching out the backfield.

A lot of those halfbacks don't run as well, nor have the production Sanders does. 

That's the difference. Sanders is good at football and has those areas as areas as of weakness. And still had 50 catches on 64 targets last year.

Nah that was his rookie year. He had 78 yards receiving last year, but he wasn’t asked to do that. He’s proven he can be a threat catching the ball if needed.

Historically, on the first day of free agency, (and the tampering period) contracts have been huge.  However, this year, Fitterer has gotten early bargains, imo.

Side NOTE:  NFL Network thinks the only news today is based on an Aaron Rodgers Zoom.  Man they need focus.  All day long--Rodgers.  nobody wants that all day long--that is like having a turd as your screen saver.

I'm just sharing what buddies are saying. 😂

Your buddies didn't say anything about Funchess, that was you. There's no comparison between Sanders who had a good year and Funchess who didn't prior to them signing with new teams.

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
