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.

The pros agree with me. 

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.

      Ekwonu contract

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      65th in pass blocking rate is the issue. This isn't 1985 anymore. You're not paying LTs to be road grading run blockers.  He's above average for a starting LT as a run blocker. He's well below average for a starting LT as a pass blocker. The issue is that you're paying LTs primarily to be pass protectors.

      ESPN 3rd mock

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Rd 1. Walker ESPN went big for the Carolina Panthers in their latest 2025 mock draft. This time, the worldwide leader enlisted the expertise of both Mel Kiper Jr. and Field Yates—who went pick for pick over three full rounds. Kiper Jr. started Carolina's haul with the obvious prospect at Pick No. 8, Georgia linebacker Jalon Walker: Carolina had big-time defensive issues last season. Walker can roam the second level with his sideline-to-sideline speed or fly off the edge to get home on the quarterback. The Panthers have to get some difference-makers on that side of the ball. Walker, the perceived frontrunner for the selection, played both off the edge and off the ball for the Bulldogs in 2024. He recorded a team-leading 6.5 sacks en route to capturing a first-team All-American selection and the Butkus Award.   rd  2. OT Ozzy Trapilo No. 57—Boston College offensive tackle Ozzy Trapilo  Carolina must think offensive line early in this draft with a bunch of guys in contract years. Trapilo would be appealing for the Panthers as they try to improve Bryce Young's protection. One of those guys in a contract year is longtime starting right tackle Taylor Moton. The 6-foot-8, 316-pound Trapilo could serve as a depth piece in 2025 and a possible heir apparent to Moton, who turns 31 years old in August.   Rd 3 DL  Tyleik Williams Kiper Jr. wrapped up the pull at No. 74, with Ohio State defensive lineman Tyleik Williams: More defense for Carolina. Williams is stout against the run but also shows the quickness and suddenness to penetrate the backfield. He had 21 run stops over the past two seasons, which is good news for a Panthers team that allowed a league-worst 5.2 yards per carry in 2024.

      As most now know, because of my topic about trading Moton, I think Tackle should be pretty high on our wish list. We have a guy at LT who most on this board still don't trust, although maybe last year was the year the lights turned on, and an aging RT who is going to want a contract that keeps him here as a starter until he retires. I just don't like the position we are in at the tackle position. JMO.
