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.

    • Cooter, Kurb, others have passed on to glory….  Praise be.
    • Oh good for them! Hope this is the start of a long happy time in their lives here.
    • There was no reason to believe in either Cam or Jake as a top tier elite QB before those seasons either. Cam was an "athletic" QB in most people's minds and his passing skills were open for debate. And there was a bit to that as he was still trying to get that massive power in his arm tamed to be able to put some touch on his passes. And then, he did it. Missiles became bombs, the firing lanes became points of finesse. Cam grew up and leveled up, while still retaining the ability and drive to truck people whenever he wanted. And Jake... no one freaking believed in Jake except Jake himself. He got, and let's be honest with this, one chance in a losing game to make something out of his career. And he rose to the occasion like some kind of mythical hero and continued to do so for the season. He became a true leader for the team, and his gunslinger capabilities rehabbed Moose's career and created Smitty as a force in the league. Smitty went from a barker to a biter. But no one believed in Jake going in. And they trashed him on his way out. Now Bryce... who knows? I've seen some improvement. Maybe he finds his footing. His teammates seem to love and respect him and that means a lot. The game should be moving at his speed now. He has weapons available to him and maybe a defense that doesn't just roll over by the third quarter. And his coach seems to be moving this team in the right direction. Could he do it? It's up to him, if he can find the magic like Jake and Cam did. But don't doubt this, magic is really, really hard to find.
