D'Andre Swift was had for a bag of Cheetos and put up 175 yds last night... Not looking good Mr. Fitterer

[TheBigKat]

And the ole mighty Carolina Panthers who just thanked the heavens from getting out of a injury proned expensive RB contract hand Miles Sanders a top 10 RB contract

While the Eagles went to the RB by committee approach (same with KC and others) and their replacement of Sanders went off

The "misses" here by Scott Fitterer are starting to add up, while I am trying to give him benefit of doubt from the Rhule shadow, the Sanders and Adam Stealin signings were all Scott's doing

We will see how long he stays healthy. That has been an issue.

Even if he doesn't, the committee approach is the current wave of the NFL

D'Andre Swift - $1.77 million

Rashaad Penny - $1.08 million

Kenneth Gainwell - $940K

Boston Scott - $1.85 million

Trey Sermon - $1.103 million

As great as it was for Swift to go off, he actually hurt the RB market. Every GM is like "see we don't need to overpay for a RB!" A double edge sword, perform well and get paid less because you're too good at your job

 

[TheCasillas]

Every RB should be successful in that eagles system as long as hurts is a qb. QB option offenses are very friendly to running backs because they automatically take one tackler out of the picture with the option play.

[TheCasillas]

To sit and say we didn’t go running back by committee is kind of odd. Considering we gave chuba and miles nearly equal amount of carries and just signed Tarik Cohen with the intention of playing him by week 4.

[Icege]

Oh no, the team spent $750k more on Miles Sanders this season than the Eagles did on DeAndre Swift.

If only the Panthers hadn't spent less than $3M this season on their RB room. They could have spent $6M like the Eagles did.

it's not a committee approach financially when you are paying one of them top 10 RB money

this thread would be like making a thread after trading Jaycee Horn for a 4th after he misses this season and then he has 1 game with his new team where he has a couple picks and everyone is whining and complaining about giving him away for nothing. Swift was always talented but his health is the issue, it was always something with him where even if he was playing he was banged up and limited and couldn't handle a full load. Let's see how he holds up.

Feel bad for backs man. 
 

They need a new minimum wage or something. 
 

Such a brutal position on the body, and you end up with relative peanuts.

we're literally 1 game into the season bigkat needs to knock this poo off

$2.555M this season (which is what Miles is getting paid).

That makes him the 28th highest paid RB this season.

What in the actual fug are you even complaining about?
