Should Chuba be the #1 RB

Never thought I would ask this question, but with our sorry running game...maybe it's time.

Sanders was a product of an eagles team with a great Oline and good overall offense. What rose colored glasses Fitts was wearing when he signed him, I don't know. 

They may be looking at the $$$ spent to sign Sanders. It wouldn't be the first time they pissed $$$ away. I am not crazy about Chuba, but he gets the job done at five yards (+/-) a carry, can't catch a cold unfortunately.

Sanders hasn't done much either rushing or catching out the backfield so far. Is it the play calling or sh*tty line play, who knows.

Regardless, Chuba needs more carries and use Sanders out the backfield In certain situations.

Bryce needs a running game.....period.

Hubbard shows a bit more burst to the line and you can probably run stretch plays with him more effectively than Miles.  Although neither are pure in the receiving department so there's a redundancy.

Similar to the WR crew with certain fundamentals down but severely lacking a quick slot guy or reliable deep threat. 

We're missing two critical pieces most modern offenses should have:

RB with receiving skills

A Shifty XYZ receiver

We decided to sign Miles and draft Mingo with those needs, which was in retrospect starting to seem kind of shortsighted. 

Guys like Tyjae Spears, Marvin Mims, Tank Dell, or Tyler Scott would have been in a good place here to make an impact.

foreman should be our starter going into the season and would have been cheaper

I have a feeling Foreman may have played himself a bit in the whole situation as well. He's a healthy scratch for the Bears at RB behind herbert and a rookie right now, so it's not like he's lighting the world up elsewhere.

foreman isn't special but with production that sanders is having now, I much rather taken the cheaper option if this is the results we are getting from sanders
