Exactly two days ago no one on this entire board would be calling Miles Sanders an elite RB or a target in free agency. 

Last offseason the Philly media wanted to move on from him becuase he was declining. Philly had an incredible year and Miles had a good year, but Miles didn't really improve as a pass catcher and there was a lot less attention on him with all of Philly's weapons.

As I said on page 2 or so of this thread, I like the signing and he can be a #1 back for us, but then when I saw the money, I thought we overpaid by quite a bit. 4/25 is a lot of money for someone like him. But hopefully there's an out after this year or next in case he doesn't live up to expectations.

I'm guessing we paid 20-30% above market value to get him to come here over stay in Philly

 

It's below spotrac's market value projection but a longer contract.

I don't believe they needed to outbid the eagles.

We are not near as good as philly's o-line

Which is elite enough to take the loss of

Sanders in stride.

Well, Foreman went to Chicago so moot point. I honestly think they just upgraded in losing Montgomery and getting Foreman so it will be interesting. If Fields can take the next step and play more consistent ball, the Bears could be a dark horse for the NFC North this year. Could be a dark horse to make noise in the NFC, period.

      Legette for Coleman?

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      That is a big HELL NO. As bad as XL was this season, at least he adds a dimension that the coaches can use for specific plays. Coleman is just as bad, yet adds zero diversity to our receiving corps. I’ll take the guy that at least cares enough to show up to meetings. Getting traded to a new team won’t change either of their work ethics.

      I’m just not impressed with these hires/openings

      I don't think there is any real reason to amend the rule. If you do, the teams will just find a way to abuse it. All the Browns have to do is just interview SOMEONE to "get through" the process. Hell, interview Jim Caldwell if that's what the actual goal is, just to get around it.  Also, they have all of the candidates required for the Rooney Rule in Aden Durde and Nate Scheelhaase. They are in full compliance already. Scheelhaase is already scheduled for a second interview, for that matter.

      I don't know about the stans but he's at times been like 60 percent of the offense on a playoff calibre team. He put up 1202 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns, then had effing 102 receptions for 924 yards and seven receiving touchdowns. He touched the ball 413 times this season (an average of 24 times per game.) Then you have to add in that he's a hell of a blocker when called upon. Without him, the injury depleted 49ers in a hot NFCWest division don't make the playoffs at all.  If that isn't the Most Valuable Player on the team then who should be? The idea that it is an award solely for QBs is just narrow. Edit to add: Will he win it? No.
