RB D’Andre Swift - Three-years, $24 million

This ^^^^^

You are basing your whole argument on stats from last season.  The Raiders offense last year was even more dysfunctional than usual. The coach was fired mid-season. Teams could focus their defense more against Jacobs than against Swift, who benefitted from playing in a much better offense — both in terms of players and coaches.  Context of the stats matters.  I don’t know your definition of “elite”, but Jacobs is one of the best in the league over the last 4-5 years. Swift is not. He was pretty average with the Lions.

I don't care all that much at this point. Kind of like Fields. It's done so that's who we have. As far as how well he will do ON THIS team, we won't know until he plays for this team.

Not going to worry about anything that I have no effect over.

I agree it's not a big deal in the larger picture.  And honestly, I'm expecting the RB room will be solid this year with Swift/Herbert/RoJo and a very mobile Caleb Williams - and an improved OL.  I really don't expect to see the team regress, even with Fields gone.  Bears were the #2 rushing team in the NFL last year LINK.  And hey, we know that Caleb has wheels too, so expect him to do some highlight reel stuff from time to time... it's not like we've gone to a lawn-statue at QB.  Swift/Herbert/RoJo are a pretty decent stable of RBs.  And if the pass offense does take off, that helps the rushing - and vice versa.  Great synergy if that passing threat is legit this year.  But yeah, it's not a big deal.  I agree.  I wish Monty was still here but he's not.  Life goes on.
