I don’t even know if I’m meaning top RB. Just much better than what we have.

Btw... I'm more than ok adding in a cheap vet or day 3 RB..  I'm not obsessing about it.  It's not fantasy football.   We have been in good hands on key plays with Gainwell and Scott the last 2 years.   They can get a combined 5 more carries per game.  The other early down RB I don't think will be a problem.  Penny actually could easily be an upgrade over Sanders.   

But idk...will he play...he could turn into lane who was going to get suspended for a 3rd time because he was a roid user???right?   

I mean there is no chance at all Penny won't stay healthy here??

Like I’ve said, i think my boy Tyjai Soears early day three walks in as a starter with this group….after Penny trips in the cafeteria.

That's a different conversation.  That's where we disagree where you think our guys are worse than I do.

Lol... the rushing game was better in 2021.  The Eagles offense was at its peak in 2022 playoffs...3 games over 100 points. Sanders wasn't a factor. 

Sanders isn’t a factor.  He is along for the ride.  He's last 2 years tops in Carolina. 

He was along for the ride….and crushed it. Why give up that advantage? You say Sanders is a dime a dozen…well upgrade it then….times two. Sounds good to me.

The advantage we had scoring 100 points in the playoffs with Gainwell???

Again...stop twisting.  Who ever said a RB hurts a team?   This is what you do constantly...spin the words.

There is a huge difference in saying the RB has minimal impact ....vs " hurting a team"

Stop it.  Have an adult conversation without twisting words.  

You’re the one twisting. I didn’t say RB was most important position. Said I wouldn’t take one top ten even. Just said we need one though. You twisting into Chubb and Taylor teams can’t win. They are just one part. I didn’t say the biggest part. Never went there that you are trying to twist like I’m saying. I’m pointing out how we are a physical rushing team. Several downgraded in that area. Why? Let’s do the other way and upgrade it! Obvious results will follow. SB No Rb really sucked. Hurts had to carry too much of the load. 

One thing I find in common with fans who obsess over the RB.  They love their college football.   Where these RBs really shine and promote the game.

Never said Chubb and Taylor teams can't win either.   Again.. stick to what I'm saying instead of trying to spin or read between the lines.

Lol...do you see us winning?  Again.. show me where the big difference in TEAM SUCCESS ...where it's elite RB over the solid RB?

Then look at the difference where it's elite QB, receiving group or OL vs just the solid ones?

You are in love with the flash part of the game.

I never said any of this. You are trying to create an argument from something I never ever said. You’ve been trying that the whole time. I’ve acknowledged the hierarchy. But feel AJ, Smitty and Goedert are really good. Sanders and Friends without Sanders sucks. Never said I need Barkley over Justin Jefferson. Just said our team can easily dominate teams with quality RB(s). Obvious and easy…do it.

With Mr Glass? The bruising thumper that always gets hurt? Great combo!

Let him score 38...we should have scored 42 ...that was how the game was going.  I'm not fearing any team.. I give my 50 mil QB the tools to outscore him.  No punts 

Good luck! Your whole plan is to out Mahomes…Mahomes

By the way....how did we downgrade our being a physical rushing team?  Ee are more finesse with Penny than with Sanders?

Besides...I don't view us as a physical rushing team... I see us as a team with one of the better passing games.  Want to make it better especially when paying the QB.  Hurts has opportunity McNabb and Wentz didn’t have. He can have an elite group of receiving weapons across the board ...locked in long term.... prior to getting paid.   I want to give him that.    The run game is fine.   Look at 2017...Sproles and Smallwood were only 2 RBs after the draft.   If we need to add, we can do it later.  Dime a dozen position.

Gainwell came in the fourth quarter on a beaten quiting Giants team with no run D. That’s all he did really. Claim to fame….fourth quarter blowout finisher…one game. Whoa! Where was he any other time but the blowout against the terrible run D in the last quarter?

Sanders sucked at the end.   We did our best offensively with Gainwell and friends.  Penny was added.  Sermon is here....if they feel the need to upgrade they will.

We clearly were missing our RB. Our RBBC or whatever you want to call the lack of plays from that position group. Sanders dominated the rest of the year.

Was our best RB vs SF and KC... 31and 35 points scored.

I don’t obsess over RB. See you’re trying to make this discussion anything but what it is. Our RB room stinks. A clear advantage area. No obsession…just can’t stand neglect. Last season it was S.

I’d love to add Davante Adams to our WR room.

So again... last season CGJ, Epps and Blankenship... you feel that was neglected and a weakness for our 2022 team?

Like compared to 31 other teams it was weak?

I keep saying we all can see how upgrading the fourth receiving option improves us. Easy to do. Put on Ward. Better pass catching already. Now the RB room is lead by a Ward caliber player. Let’s fix that.
