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

      QBs that would cost next to nothing and are better than anything we currently have.

      By strato · Posted

      I am no football savant as has been demonstrated here over and over, but I saw it.  I went for years doing the mock draft thing and researching the players that we might get around our pick, time consuming stuff. And we would get to the draft and trade the pick. All that time, wasted.  So I quit doing that. Also realized I was not a scout and would never be a scout and went to looking the videos and reports After  we picked a guy.  Maybe I would look at the 1st round, but quit that too and just looked after we picked.    When they did that trade I saw Bryce and his size and just ruled him out. Then it got to yeah they are probably going to take him, I relented and looked at some video and got to his pro day. It took me all of a few minutes to see the issues. The footwork. The arm. And the tape of games? The backyard style. I knew, what can I say?  (Also, went down the physical checklist, not a single plus attribute on the NFL level. Arm, speed, size, etc, nothing to offset the negatives. nothing)  I think it was easy for me because I had not watched a single game he played in college,and wasn’t drawn in by the hype. Had no preconceived notions and just looked at it pretty clinically.  I got in here and everyone was going “but look at what he did in college! It is the SEC, if he can do it in the SEC he can do it in the NFL!” Couldn’t reason with hardly anyone.  I don’t think I could tell you which guy would succeed between two prototypical guys with great arms and athleticism, and have no special insight into any of that. My one calling in football scouting was to see the real about what we were about to do. And you still don’t know for sure until they get in a real game in the NFL.

      Miss Bryce sorely is possibly the most hilarious statement I have read on the Huddle in quite some time.

      He did only throw 1 pass 20+ in that game. I think he is still struggling to adjust to the NFL. At Alabama he was able to extend plays and play backyard football. That's not only not the style of offense we have been running but his physical skills don't lend themselves to that style of play at this level.  So, the amount of issues he actually has to clean up are WAAAAAY more than I anticipated as a guy that had Bryce #1 on my board in that draft class.  I am just not seeing a reasonable path for him to clean it all up and develop in a reasonable timeframe
