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

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
