Did we get hoodwinked on Miles Sanders

Sanders is a lot like the back that Young had in college. I think he will be a great outlet for Young and was absolutely worth making the play for. We will see what happens for the eagles, but I would honestly bet they fall back to earth this year.

I think he’s a solid starter. I don’t think he’s going to be a game changer like McCaffrey was or Stewart/Williams duo was. He’s probably gonna be good for 800-1000 yards per season and 5 or so TDs until he replacement is drafted.

His fantasy projection is 996 yards and 5 TDs this year.

Given he had 11 last year and had a QB who liked to run it in himself in the red zone, how does he only get 5. Bryce won't be running it in but he will be handing it off and dumping it to Sanders.  Sanders will only not have big numbers if he is overshadowed by others on the team who would have to make huge leaps from where they are now.

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.

Not to go to deep into the eagles but I don't know what fall back to earth means. They have a elite WR their second WR is arguably better then our number one WR. Their Oline is elite D line top 3 in the NFL and they added studs in the draft. You don't fall back to earth they may underperform but honestly they should realistically be a deep playoff team nfc championship game deep based off the roster and coaching. Not to mention the QB play was top five last year no falling back because they're not an overachieving team in my opinion.

And as far as Miles goes he got a fairly good deal based off what we expect from Frank. He's going to run his RB into the ground and I'd expect MS to be such a safety valve and explosive player catching out the backfield and scoring in the RedZone his value should equal his pay. I don't see any RB on that list that I'd take after him for less money that I'd trust to do all the things Miles does check the list and tell me who (free agent) bc Breece Hall isn't a free agent you'd want over Miles is my question.

We aren't we anymore. New QB, new wide receivers, neew TE, new OC and new HC

Quality over quantity. Those 5 backs on that eagles graphic are absolute meh. Swift wasn’t even relevant or playing down the stretch last year. The Lions couldn’t wait to move on from him.

Eagles have a decent stable there but Sanders is better all around than any of them. Penny and Swift are the best of the bunch. Sermon could be good but he is a rookie right? So his fiscal hit is nothing.

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.

Neither of those guys have had 200 carries in a season. The most attempts Newton had was 139. Hurts 165

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
