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 your just drunk and you just want to argue about something.

Here is what your missing because I do watch. Ill learn you. He can't break tackles nearly even half of Fore man but a better pass catcher n not even as fast as Chubba, I don't dislike the guy but our two heads for cheaper beat his one head.

I still can’t tell if OP is buzzing about Sanders being worse the Foreman, worse than Hubbard, worse than both, or worse than those two combined. 
 

Foreman is a power back who lacks elite explosion but runs hard. I liked him and most of Panther nation liked him and appreciated his efforts. 
 

Hubbard is a straight line runner with hands that one poster recently, and appropriately, described as tennis rackets. 
 

Sanders is regarded by everyone in the NFL, and really everyone except OP, as better than both. He is a young, top 20 RB in the league. It was a great pickup and what’s in your mind about it doesn’t change that.

So what I'm gathering  from you, is no matter what, you don't like the move. Thanks for wasting our time with this thread. 

No reality is you will love it until it was wrong and I'll give you the respect not to ever bring it up. I don't hate the guy, but we definitely could have done better even with our own guys.

You made a thread asking to have someone explain this to youso you can understand.

The problem is you won't change your mind about it. You don't like the move. You think you know what this team/coaching staff needs  or wants to do and how to do it better than them. 

If this was still the Rhule/Wilks era, which you might fit better in, that might be the case. 

We're dealing with guys that know offense now and know how to be successful.

Probably the best thing for you to do is just watch because you're really not interested in any conversation.

The pros agree with me. 

What pros?

I like Sanders but come on, he's like CMC?

He doesn't line up out wide and doesn't run wheel routes or go over the middle or anything like that. He caught very few passes last year.

CMC is a rare specimen

My assumption would be you didn't change it.

I don’t understand why OP is posting as if Hubbard is no longer on the team. Our tandem is now Sanders & Hubbard instead of Foreman & Hubbard. I’m assuming OP fell in love with thunder & lightning RB duos. 
 

No legitimate NFL minds view Foreman as more valuable as a RB than Sanders. That can’t be disputed.

      this     I never cease to be amazed at the number of people who will run up their blood pressure to get to the grocery store 30 seconds faster or are racing to get to work like it won’t be there at 8:02.   The only thing I’ve ever done that I think added more years to my life besides quitting smoking, was to learn to go with the flow behind the wheel.

      The term you're looking for is "malinger(ed)", and he didn't.  I'm not sure why Panthers fans act like jaded ex girlfriends.  The dude is clearly injury prone as his time in San Fransico also proves. It's not like he got to San Fran and stopped having problems.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.
