Ill be right on this one, he isn't that good and I'd much rather have Foreman if the salaries were switched. You guys will get it soon too. He was behind the number 1 line in the NFL. He 100 is Hubbard. N Hubbard dropped 3 balls last year so Facebook n reddit nerds take a dive.

Again, not a huge contact, like at all. It’s not even remotely bellcow tier. It’s Kareem Hunt type level pay for a team needed something, anything proven at a skill position. So yes, it makes sense to not over rely on unprovens but not overpay. We have no idea what went down w Foreman.

If you’re gonna faux neck stick out contrarian, at least make it worthwhile.

People keep saying that Sanders is a three-down back, but Philly didn't really use him as one. His blocking is not great. We'll see what happens here. He's more versatile and much more explosive than Foreman. If you haven't seen this vid, you might want to to get a better idea of what he's been.

Chuba had the same average last year as Sanders (4.9), so you might want to be more objective. Chuba is a little smaller, but faster (and maybe even a tad more explosive). His hands aren't nearly as good though. I think Chuba is a good backup for Sanders actually. He may even be more prone to hit the hole and go, whereas Sanders may be more prone to try and hit the corner. I think that both have sneaky power, so hopefully we'll be able to get that short yardage, but it remains to be seen.

If we were doing the same poo as last year, Foreman would have been fine and the status quo would have been enough.

Apparently we got a new coaching staff that is not going to be satisfied with the status quo and is going to do things that require a different kind of back from Foreman and that Hubbard might have some similarities to style-wise, but a better quality than Hubbard was needed, which we got.

Sanders is better/more talented/more versatile than Foreman and Miles ahead of Hubbard.

I know people are struggling with this. It's really what teams.want out of theirnstarting running back. They want a running back whom can play ever down, and catch out of the backfield. 

Sanders is a lot like CMC, but without CMC's price.  Consider him a value. 

Or remotely his talent. You left that one out.

Wtf? Upgraded D. A real QB. Think they'd be fine with last year's running  game. Bro!

You make it sound like Sanders is a hack scrub. You haven't been paying attention or you are just overly biased if you think that's the case.

Or you're just drunk and you just want to argue about something.

Sanders and CMC could not be more different

In no way do you want Sanders out wide

Sanders is like a better Hubbard in terms of play style

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
