You still haven't picked up... Sanders lost the job to Chubba Hubbard...because he blows! 

Totally different system and fit…What you didn’t pick up and don’t consider. Not every O is the same.

He got the first snap... they had the idea of committee and not over using Swift last year.  I really wish Swift played the first snap...just not to have to read your garbage about it.  Gainwell was never a true #1 here. Never intended to be.   The issue with both of the last two guys is they couldn't pass protect.  It's why Gainwell logged a lot if snaps, yet didn't touch the ball as much.  Ratio touches per snap.    4.5 carries per game for 4.6 yards a game....that's fine for one of your backups.  

The issue last year is they got zero from the #3 RB.  If you get another 5 carries from that guy, then the run game becomes more of a factor for the defense to have to stop.   It's a subtle difference that ends up being huge.  

Can Shipley get 5 carries per game to keep the defense on their heels ???  That would be ideal.  You get 10 more carries in addition to Barkley each game... helps out a ton over 17 games. 

Big difference, especially considering Gainwell's injury last year..and still nothing from #3.

Gainwell got all the carries except one that first game. Rewatch the game if you already forgot how close that game was against the Pats. Then rewatch week two when Gainwell was hurt and Swift finally got the start. Ran all over them. Shipley should be in front of Gainwell quickly if Siri gets out of the way. Have two quality other RBs I believe could compliment our RB room better than Gainwell this season also. Kendall Milton that pure rusher I give the edge too from Georgia.

If the first play in Brazil has us in 2 TE set.... does that classify the #2 TE as a starter the rest of the year like Gainwell last year?    Lol

Gainwell took all the carries except one…what do you call that? Would be a quality point….if it was just one play…or set of plays. Terrible point when looking at factual hindsight…which you swung and missed on once again. Nobody ever said rest of the year either. Combination of BS all in one post.

Patrick Queen stated he had 15 teams interested in him. Why did he accept such a weak contract? To play in Pittsburgh none the less. 

I get not wanting to go to a crappy team. It’s not all about the money. But the Steelers aren’t some front running contending team. He took much less…but took less AND gave team control  away about his future. Dumber than just signing a straight one year deal to accept less money. Queen has a terrible agent. Steelers worked a brilliant best signing of the offseason contract on this one.

Vikings tried to trade Justin Jefferson to the giants to draft Nabers.

Tony Jefferson is coming out of retirement. Very experienced quality S. Don’t know of any connection we have with him.

In what system does Chubba Hubbard beat out any decent starting RB?

You love fixing your agenda around any player you hate on. Panthers were a complete train wreck. Worst team in the league. You putting all that on Sanders? They demoted, fired ….everybody possible…except for Bryce.

Hubbard 238 carries  902 yards 5 TDs

Swift     229 carries 1049 yards 5 TDs

I don’t hate Gainwell….just see him as a third stringer. He did’t  just take the first snap to start last season. He got all the touches accept for one carry given to Swift. Siri got saved from himself with Gainwell not being able to suit up for week two at least.

Once again many possible reason(we have already been through this) Maybe Swift had stomach flu and couldn't go

Same possible reason been the whole time since Gainwell was drafted….he’s Siri’s boy. Over and over and over again…it’s shown.

Sanders got demoted I think in week 4 or the tail end of game 3 as I recall.. Little impact for money spent. Train wreck because they gave all their player away(see DJ Moore and McCaffrey)

If he's siri's boy how did Swift get twice the yardage?

Because Gainwell got injured and couldn’t suit up week two. Swift was promoted to starter and went for 175 yards. Siri couldn’t shove Gainwell in front of that anymore. Always was very obvious to everybody else the talent gap between Swft and Gainwell.

https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/stats/_/name/phi/table/rushing/sort/rushingBigPlays/dir/desc More BS. Snap count not close. Swift even got more air yards. So by week TWO he was no longer Siri's boy??? Yep that's correct

What should have been very apparent…couldn’t be denied by a blind man after 175 yards.

I'm saying Chubba Hubbard won the starting job over Sanders...because Hubbard was better.
