Did y’all want to go intro the season with Hubbard as RB1?

No, but I’m of the opinion that Chuba coulda be a 1200 yard back if given the lions share of the load. He was pretty decent last season.

I think we have seen with Cam the dangers of a QB that runs 200 times a season. The QB didn't make the whole season last year, I doubt he will this year. Also, and maybe the will avoid this, but the superbowl loser many times will have a tough year the following this loss. Not every year, but a lot of times.

Very very good point even though that wouldn't be coming down, I'd say that's a injury season if something like that happens. But yea I forgot he got hurt towards the end of the season and it's more likely to happen again this season with all that wear and tear on his body. I'd say maybe something does happen to him causing them to have a average season if he misses a few games I'd say those are going to be losses. And I also agree Superbowl teams get attacked every week that's the game you want to win so yeah they will be in w dog fight each and every week.

If we were still running McAdoo's offense, maybe.

Sanders is a way better fit for what Reich and Brown will be doing.

I'm so glad someone stated the obvious does fit matter to you guys when thinking of players. The scheme and what our coaches are trying to accomplish or is it Foreman should transform into a different type of back over the summer lol.

I wouldn’t agree with the term hoodwinked but we for sure look odd for locking in Sanders for 4 years after his first season hitting 1k yards in Philly on a team with a true #1 WR and good TE, plus good WR2 and 3 on the team, plus a good offensive line with an MVP level QB performance. 

What makes Miles Sander worth the sign? The guy we had averaged 4.5 yards per carry and Sanders is coming in at 4.9. Foreman’s averages went UP with an increased workload. Sanders averages went DOWN. 

Foreman is just a 3 million dollar commitment. He is 27. Sanders is 26. 

We have a history of spending at this position where it would make other teams scratch their heads when we paid DWill and JStew at the same time, then we got out of those and decided to pony up and pay CMC and now we locked in Sanders to a four year deal when the league is trending towards drafting RBs in rounds 2-5 and getting major production and letting them walk away after their rookie contract to go to another team. 

In my opinion, we would be better off just drafting running backs in a 2-5 every 2-3 years and rolling with them unless we get somebody “generational”. 

 

Miles Sanders had 3 100-yard games last year. He had 7 games under 50 yards of rushing last year. 

Foreman had 5 100 yard rushing games and he basically didn’t play until week 7. 

From week 7 to 17 Foreman averaged 80 rushing yards per game. Sanders averaged 75 rushing yards per game. 

Sanders averaged 75.7 during his first 10 games. He averaged 66 yards a game rushing during his second half of 10 games. 

We could have kept the guy we had, saved money, not had a RB locked in even at 6 million a year for the next four years which would have given Bryce a vet in year 1 and then we would have nothing big financially tied to a RB on a second contract and been smart. 

It isn’t a BAD signing by any means and fingers crossed he elevates his game a bit to help the young kid out at QB I can just understand where the argument comes from in relation to what other RBs got this offseason in comparison. 

Comparing stats f of a starter to one that wasn't a starter? 

 

Shakes my head.

I don’t understand this graphic. I feel like they made it trying to make the Eagles look good but in reality it looks dumb af. Why would you want 5 mediocre RBs taking up 5 roster spots? We’re gonna run into Sundays with 3 max. Sanders is better than any of those 5 by a large margin as well.

Because their offense and defense were better in Philly. Their dline caused a lot of quick transitions back to the offensive side of the ball and their offense was filled with studs to get them to the red zone. There’s significantly more question marks here.

 

We scored 347 to their 477. Their defense got 10 takeaways more than us last year. That’s a lot more having the ball and a lot more scoring. 

And as I said Hurts rushed for 15 TDs compared to Sanders 11. That is 15 more than Bryce will run? Who gets those? No one? If we only scored 15 rushing TDs who else is going to get them? Do you think our offense won't be worlds better than last year with the carousel of QBs and changing offensive schemes mid season? If Sanders doesn't get 10 TDs as least I will be shocked. It is about how he will be used and in this run heavy offense Sanders will get the bulk of carries and rushing TDs.  He won't have to share with so many other players.

It's from an Eagles fan page.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
