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

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.

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

      Monday practice tweets

      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.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      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.
