Philly is about to prove RB's are still valuable.

I meant it in conventional sense. running lmj off tackle with bunch of space and let mariota run wild is one thing, running a conventional power game with a conventional back in the NFL is another. lmj is a bum in the nfl too.

but fair enough, I admit I didnt realize how much oregon ran the ball. Im not a college football fan and lately I only watch cal games. it is what it is. Ill take my L

Breh, I respect your opinion on football. I just disagree with you when it comes to Chips O. But I am also bias as hell. So whatever. :yeshrug:

Philly. Fucc a Eagle. I mean dat.
He had 1300 yards 5 TDs and 4 fumbles on 4.2 yards per carry. While I'll admit that the Oline's health did play into those numbers, they're still not 10 mil + worthy no matter how you slice it. You can replicate that production at a fraction of the cost.

Another thing no one seems to mention is that Chip never had a RB take more than 50 % of the snaps at oregon and Shady was getting more than 60%. The Eagles are gonna roll with a committee approach.
Whose gonna give you 1300 yards next year? Chris Polk? :mjlol: Sproles? :mjlol: Or maybe yall sign Knowshon Moreno? :mjlol: Wake up and smell the coffee, my guy - ya done son :mjlol:

Seeing as how sproles had 7.4 YPC behind the same line eases the pain for me :ld:


If we can get ameer in this draft, I wouldn't be mad at all

nah it has to be overall offense. its obvious theyre taking focus off rushing offense.

Im not arguing your point that RBs are still very valuable, I think so as well
Im just saying that logically it'll only work if philly regresses in total offense.

otherwise, doesnt make sense. it'd actually prove that RBs arent worth shyt if they plug in random bum at RB and their offense still is top 5.

How much less efficacious does the Eagles' offence have to be to show that elite RBs matter?
