Sanders/Hubbard is a pretty small backfield. 

Exactly!!! I cannot for the life of me see those two pounding the other team and wearing them down like Foreman could.

I was hoping the Panthers would resign Foreman to add power to the Sanders/Hubbard backfield but I sadly  realize that money is tight and the Panthers have lots of other holes to fill.

The O-Line made Foreman look really good with the massive holes they made. When he had room to run, he was a fuging bulldozer.  When the holes were tight, he always got stuffed. I think you guys will really be surprised with Sanders in the backfield.

or he got butthurt we signed a better RB to bigger money. 

 

 

dude is slightly better than a JAG, panther fans are overly sentimental.  hes like a fat chick thrown into a bar of military men fresh out of deployment.  we have been so starved for anything positive that we got beer goggles on with this dude

 

reality is, hes an older RB with an achilles history that happened to find himself in a perfect situation where he got a bunch of touched behind a good OL, and the offense and game plan was built on the run game and playing defense cause that was our only chance at sniffing a win. 

 

Not sweating it in the least, ive been saying this all offseason, and that contract tells me the entire NFL agrees. 

 

 

Well, you put it more colorfully than I would have, but I was going to say the same thing something like this: Only in the Huddle is a little above a JAG so overrated, but he was paid a little above JAG because he is a little above JAG.

If Sanders stays healthy yes. 

Saw Josh Norris talking about Williams in the same way.  That inside the 20’s Williams was great. In middle of field they were average.  

That is kind of how I see Foreman compared to Sanders.  Behind this OL Sanders will continue to be explosive. He will have more of a workload than I. Philly.  Philly also has a great OL.  But I think the added volume plus the explosiveness he brings it will be and upgrade.  Couple that with Duce and Reich knowing he can catch the ball will help a young QB.  To me that’s the deciding factor of why the nailed him down.
 

 

I think you are right about Sanders. They wanted someone who can run and catch the ball and is also familiar with this offense. We are bringing in guys who will easily pick up the system so we can play well out of the box. I am glad the FO and coaches aren't resigned to a losing season before we are 2 weeks into free agency like some folks here.

Foreman's a very good runner. But Sanders' rookie-year reception count is more than double Foreman's career total. Foreman limits the offense; Sanders opens it up. That's the difference in value. 

A lot is being made of Foreman's RYOE, which was sixth the league. Guess who was right behind him at seventh? Chuba Hubbard! We still have a very good runner in the backfield, but now we have someone who can catch passes, too.

    • Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself. 
    • Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.
    • That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
