Panthers got who they wanted. Sanders is happy for 4 years.  Win. Win.

 

You can't please everyone. I mean these guys have pretty much done business this way since they started. They wanted someone, so they got em. I'm good with that.

 

Edit to add; I know Myles may have gotten more that some may have wanted. But it wasn't so much to be getting upset over. Especially before the actual games start.

Uh no. 5 dookie RBs doesn’t equal a good one. They don’t get 15 players on offense because they got cheap RBs. 

Swift and penny are proven good RBs with health issues. Low risk low reward for the eagles. We are high risk with same reward

Swift’s best year he got half as many yards as Sanders last year. Penny’s best year he got barely more than half. Neither is that good. They’re not RB1s for a reason.

Sanders was the highest paid FA RB this year. 
 

We over paid.

running backs are so under valued that even the highest paid running back is a fuging steal. A WR with the same number of scrimmage yards as Sanders last season would cost like 20 million a year.

I'm not going to lose one minute of sleep over paying a slight premium to help ensure Bryce's success, especially considering we're near the top of the NFL in cap space even with that contract and the "overpayment" is maybe $2 million, barely enough to pay a couple minimum salaried veterans. Even if Sanders is an average starting rb (basically worst case scenario), you could find a lot worse ways to spend $7 million.

If the convo is about the position having become increasingly devalued as a whole there will be no disagreement from me. If the convo is about us giving Sanders a decent contract and that being at all comparable to that albatross extension we signed McCaffrey to without a starting QB then I will have to say this is a silly thread. The highest his cap hit will go within the next 4 years is 8.1 million. Let's see the guy play and go from there. I think we'll like him.

I am glad we didn’t lowball him. He is being paid fairly and will validate his contract. How hard do you think a $2M running back will play making less than a kicker. It’s a shame what the NFL has done to the RB position

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
