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

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

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.

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.

$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? 😮

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
