Cap Spending by Position

They use an entirely different offensive scheme... I have no idea how you can compare the two.

 

lol easy, if we had LeSean Mccoy.....think that's what he was getting at.

They might not have a top 5 OLine but it's still a hell of a lot better than ours... I'd take the combo of a healthy JStew and DWill over a healthy McCoy and Sproles.

JStew gives you the power running and DWill is the faster back.. Where as Philly has two shifty backs (yes McCoy is a top 3 RB in the league)

Meanwhile in the year 2014....

I'm curious to see what Gettleman will do when we get the dead money and bad contracts off the books. I wonder if he will do to the offense what he did with the D as far as investing in elite linemen rather than WRs and plugging the holes with serviceable WRs and RBs?

There is a damn thread about this every other week.

seeing how much we spend on DEs and how little we spend on OL makes me very unhappy.

Truth is that teams have to spend all their cap space so it is really deciding how to shuffle the pie pieces.  We spend a ton on running backs and DEs.  Other teams spend a ton on quarterbacks or receivers or a secondary and on and on.  Sure we spend too much on running backs but out of 130 million it is less than 10% which is not that ridiculous if Stewart returns to form and we actually have a very productive running game.  It won't make up for the money but will justify it better.

 

In 2 years it will be the huge price we pay Cam and then Kuechly and then Star or whoever else we pick up.  

 

I can't figure out if this is just another thread to bitch or moan or if there is a point. 

 

We will spend more than 14 million on RB's this year.  More than 10%.

We will spend more than 14 million on RB's this year.  More than 10%.

Lets see what we get for the money this year.  It won;t be a bargain for sure but it might not be so awful if we can put us some good numbers.  Like the DEs costing so much, it isn't that we are happy about it but at least we are getting production for the big bucks.
