Don’t we have one of the cheapest offenses in the whole NFL?

Holy sh*t you're right https://sports.yahoo.com/packers-spending-second-fewest-salary-151425477.html

Welp, you get what you pay for. NFL literally has it set up for offenses to dominate, yet here we are spending the least on offense in the whole NFL. This franchise is a joke.

$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? 😮

Miles has a 7.5 million cap hit next year.

That's cool. We can drown under all of the posts bitching about that next season.

But this season? He costs $5M less than that.

(Funny enough, he still wouldn't be a top 5 paid RB as OP suggested. He'd be #7 behind James Connor and Joe Mixon.)

Well, if the convo is Philly is spending money smartly and us dumb….the actual contract is relevant.  Can just turn a blind eye to it because we don’t feel the impact of it today. 

Miles Sanders being #7 is stupid 

it’s like the 10 mill cap we are taking right now for Chosen Robbie Robby Bobby Anderson.  We drastically overpaid a role player.

To his credit Fitterer understands that you need to be aggressive about acquiring outside talent to be a top team, but there does seem to be a reoccurring theme that he just never seems to bring in the right guys, even while other teams do manage to find good acquisitions like this. He doesn’t even have an Olsen trade as a feather in his cap like Marty had to fall back on 

 

the free agent acquisitions have been largely duds and the trades have been awful.

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. 🙃

I’m sure the fact that the Eagles have a veteran superbowl runner up QB and a ton of outside receiver threats had nothing to do with Swift running all over the stacked box Im sure he faced.

Marty had some key adds that got us to the Super Bowl in 2003 and to then back to NFCCG in 2005.   Marty got really bad when the lockout talk started.  Prior to that, Marty was decent.

You are right.  And it’s why Miles Sanders had his one good season last year as a rusher despite being meh at the rest of the job.  The OL is great  and teams have to worry about everything else not named the RB rushing. 

which is why Philly didn’t value him and we overpaid

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      By ECHornet · Posted

      Cheers OP. I wanted TMac to be the pick and was so excited, and surprised, when his name was called.    Last year, I wanted one of the Xaviers, Worthy or Legette. So Dan has been delivering on my wish lists. Now I hope it pays off over the next few years.    With our trade up last year into the first, we could have a dynamic WR duo on cost-controlled contracts for 4 years.

      Panthers sign Hunter Renfrow

      Yea I have it.  When it flares it can be very severe.  I had an extended hospitalization a couple years ago and it took a while to recover.  Can’t imagine trying to deal with that as a pro athlete.  It’s hard enough as a desk jockey.

      Before Shadeur Sanders there was Ryan Mallet

      By lightsout · Posted

      I think the difference is that The Golden Calf of Bristol and Cam were just big personalities with big time talent (The Golden Calf of Bristol just lacked any consistency, leading to most of us hating him because it felt like he pulled big plays out of his ass). Sanders is a good talent who is completely full of himself and the ego feels unearned. You should WANT to change the bad culture of the losing franchise you expect to go to as a top pick...but that's a thing you keep to yourself or articulate well enough that it doesn't come off as "we're doing poo my way, if you don't like that, don't draft me".  You don't create an entire room touting yourself as legendary when you did absolutely nothing legendary at the collegiate level. Nobody is going to be fondly remembering Shadeur Sanders the college QB. Johnny Football is there, Cam is there, Vince Young is there, RGIII is there, The Golden Calf of Bristol is there.   Sanders needs humility and to pry himself away from his father. His father is going to tank his career before it is even started.    Sanders may bounce around the league as a backup for a few years, he'll play in select games and look like a backup but he'll have that one game where he pops off and that game will be used to say "see?! He's great!" and then he'll get the start and never live up to that game again.
