Bump this thread when Miles Sanders is the main reason for winning

People are still depending on a RB to deliver us wins? Will they never learn? RB is an after thought in todays NFL.

We had arguably the best RB in the league for a couple season and averaged 5 wins a year. RBs do not win games anymore. The OL has more to do with their success than the actual RB. 

As long as the RB can catch an occasional pass and not fumble a ton hes good enough.

People forget his ability to catch passes when he was a prospect coming in.

They forget because Sanders hasn’t been good in that role over the last 3 seasons.  Frankly bad in 2 of the last 3 seasons.

Proven pros don’t play in the preseason exactly so that they stay healthy.

Miles Sanders has had one good year as a rusher behind the best OL in the league….while being graded the worst receiving RB in all the NFL at the same time by PFF. 

he could of used reps.  And he could have used them in our new offense.

When you play with a rushing QB running backs pass catching goes down alot

The grading of his game as a receiver is about the work he gets.   You can grade high with low volume.  He graded dead last in all the NFL amongest RBs. 

He also graded out really poorly with Wentz in 2020. 

He has the talent.  Hope he does well.  But people are saying he is good at something he hasn’t shown to be the last 3 years.  And it was talked about in Philly coverage.  Routes, hands, reliability.  And even if you hate PFF, they never get it THAT wrong IMO.  That the league worst is actually really good in their grading system.

And I wish we added someone that was proven in that niche.  All I care about is aiding Young.

True but RB is a necessity still in the modern game. If you have a guy who cant find holes, change direction fast or hot the hole quickly and your run game sucks the other team will prep for the pass only all day and be ready to shut it down. While maybe not valued as much, they are still very important and you need some decent ones. Outside of Sanders I worry for depth in that area.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      By Navy_football · Posted

      I guess so. Don't think I was involved with previous discussions.  Tepper is one of the newest owners in the NFL. Dan is going into his 3rd season as a GM - ever. Dave is going into his 3rd season as a HC - ever. Before becoming a HC, he was an OC/playcaller for one season total. Idzik is about to go into his 1st year as a play caller - ever. WRs are rookies, sophomores and 3rd year guys - though the experienced 3rd year guys are XL and Coker (who has missed a ton of games). TEs are guys going into their 2nd and 3rd seasons, and Tommy Tremble - though Sanders has missed a ton of games. QB has played 3 years. Chuba is an experienced RB, but Brooks and Etienne have taken very little snaps at the position. O-line is more experienced vets with some talent - which is HUGE. Need them to stay healthy. I mean the offense is very young in every aspect except O-line. You see it differently?

      I said this ALL last season and will say it again this year. Our record means diddly squat this year, I don't care if we have 0 wins or 17 wins, I only care about one thing and one thing only. Bryce proves without a shadow of a doubt that he IS or ISN'T our long term solution at QB. It's the only thing that matters for the same reason it sucks that this is the same thing as last year.  This needs to be determined, and if they can't determine it, then it's still telling the team the answer, just not the one they want to hear. As right now we're in the ultimate QB purgatory, a position that dooms franchises for years.  Just look at a team like the Cardinals, who extended a better QB and it still screwed them over and haven't had a contending team in a long time. People get too caught up on wins and losses when evaluating players, particularly QBs.  When people look at the final record and use that as a reason to want to extend a QB or not is just a fools errand.  If we had lost 2-3 more games last year because we didn't make a last second FG, I genuinely wonder if we would have just moved on from Bryce this offseason (like we should have been doing anyways IMHO).
