Sanders? Just help me understand.

Sanders and CMC could not be more different

In no way do you want Sanders out wide

Sanders is like a better Hubbard in terms of play style

The pros agree with me.

Sanders was the starting running back for the NFC Champions. I think we can manage just fine with him. 

We got him for a rather modest deal and long term. This is a good thing. Holy Moses.

You make it sound like Sanders is a hack scrub. You haven't been paying attention or you are just overly biased if you think that's the case.

Or your just drunk and you just want to argue about something.

Here is what your missing because I do watch. Ill learn you. He can't break tackles nearly even half of Fore man but a better pass catcher n not even as fast as Chubba, I don't dislike the guy but our two heads for cheaper beat his one head.

I still can’t tell if OP is buzzing about Sanders being worse the Foreman, worse than Hubbard, worse than both, or worse than those two combined. 
 

Foreman is a power back who lacks elite explosion but runs hard. I liked him and most of Panther nation liked him and appreciated his efforts. 
 

Hubbard is a straight line runner with hands that one poster recently, and appropriately, described as tennis rackets. 
 

Sanders is regarded by everyone in the NFL, and really everyone except OP, as better than both. He is a young, top 20 RB in the league. It was a great pickup and what’s in your mind about it doesn’t change that.

So what I'm gathering  from you, is no matter what, you don't like the move. Thanks for wasting our time with this thread. 

No reality is you will love it until it was wrong and I'll give you the respect not to ever bring it up. I don't hate the guy, but we definitely could have done better even with our own guys.

You made a thread asking to have someone explain this to youso you can understand.

The problem is you won't change your mind about it. You don't like the move. You think you know what this team/coaching staff needs  or wants to do and how to do it better than them. 

If this was still the Rhule/Wilks era, which you might fit better in, that might be the case. 

We're dealing with guys that know offense now and know how to be successful.

Probably the best thing for you to do is just watch because you're really not interested in any conversation.

What pros?

I like Sanders but come on, he's like CMC?

He doesn't line up out wide and doesn't run wheel routes or go over the middle or anything like that. He caught very few passes last year.

CMC is a rare specimen

My assumption would be you didn't change it.

I don’t understand why OP is posting as if Hubbard is no longer on the team. Our tandem is now Sanders & Hubbard instead of Foreman & Hubbard. I’m assuming OP fell in love with thunder & lightning RB duos. 
 

No legitimate NFL minds view Foreman as more valuable as a RB than Sanders. That can’t be disputed.

You just watched highlights of a guy running through the num 1 o line in the world, know you guys think we have 2 but it's middle pack.

That's your opinion.
