I could use a fantasy TD from Kittle 🤔

Making sure it’s understood that ability level isn’t just the only factor all here are considering and understanding that’s at play here. That’s not what’s driving the league RB market situation.

I have Kittle and Mooney,some nice points. A Kittle TD would also be welcome

Had that... great game called NFL Football...had the rosters from one of those mid 80s years....and you got to call the plays and watch the Xs and Os move around the field and execute the plays.

Greed. How much are ticket prices again??? They don't make enough already? When do they think about the average fan? Ever?

I just hated Buddy because he was so revered and he never won a single playoff game AND the offenses he had were average at best. No way around that. But I wasn’t able to watch the Eagles very often back then. So my assessment could be bad. Great highlight programs back then to help. I miss those….Boomer and Jackson doing NFL recap show for an hour.

I forgot that Rodney Peete won a playoff game with the Eagles. How did that happen?

Cool story about Seth Joyner. Too bad that didn’t happen. I hate Dallas almost as much as I love the Eagles….and that is a LOT! Haha

Dude was here 5 years... the team was in the toilet....he resurrected the interest in the team...at a time the NFC and particularly the NFC East was probably the best ever.    5 years thr SB winners were Washington, Giants, 49ers, 49ers and Giants.    Absolutely stud teams...and the same teams were good throughout.   Because no free agency... it was more difficult to build and catch up.   

Put in perspective ... 3 years to build, years 3, 4 and 5 lost playoff game....   from 2009- 2017.... 9 years...no playoff wins.   Trust me....Kotite wasn't a reason they won one. 

The team needed OL... just sucks we missed the guy Buddy wanted and wasted 2 picks on a flop.  

But the reason Buddy was so popular,  at the time the Eagles took over locally.  Buddy and Randall had their TV shows, Reggie had the radio show... the fans hated the cheap owner and  Buddy was 1st in line to rip him all the time.    

Buddy was the anti establishment ... probably didn't translate outside the local area not being around to see the day to day. 

There's that pesky 30 PPG from the 9ers lol

You have to remember the era when Buddy took over.. Philly is a sports town.    The Flyers were on a run... 6 cup finals 13 years... very hot in the mid 80s.  The Phillies and Sixers were coming off long successful runs that included Championships.   

The Eagles were a joke. Just awful after the one successful coach in a long time was burnt out.   Some awful football in those early to mid 80s.  Very soft team too....no bravado.  

Dallas kicked our ass .. that all changed under Buddy.  

The other thing....the guys before and after him...very dull.  

That era was the last home grown group... we saw those guys grow up and develop...  before the " business" of free agency changed everything to where the loyalty from players has never been the same. 

More so than the Buddy era here, was a great time for the league.

The games are sold out..on 2 continents.  The popularity is so high....that the combine gets better TV ratings that other major sports playoff games. 

Let me ask you...30 years ago when prices were lower.... how many games did you watch per week?   

We had 3 games on a Sunday and a Monday night game.  If the Eagles were playing at home and it wasn't sold out,  we couldn't watch.

Today we have the opportunity to watch every game. And even replays of the games.

I believe everybody that is forming an educated opinion cares. I informed everybody of the massive load that Taylor hauled at Wisconsin. Zeke did in college. Huge factors in my eyes. But take my viewpoint out even. GMs are counting those college wear and tear amounts.

And what does that have to do with Sanders?

For now,for now,we also thought Thursday games would stay free also

Miles would be just hitting peak Rb experience. It’s a massive factor. His bodies wear and tear would grade at a normal NFL rookie level. So you just aren’t weighing all information/factors/ variables too ignore this.

I'm just seeing he isn't good.  I'm not really worried about comparing him to obvious stud bell cows that got usage ....because they were actually good. 

Again...Sanders will have great tread on his tires....all through his career, because he won't play as much as a bell cow would.

College wear and tear  🤣

1/2 the college schedules are vs podunk HS's >I would think college wear and tear is factored into the draft selections? Sermon will have tread until he is 55 lol. So IDK how much wear and tear there is in college. My guess is most RB's that are drafted are close to similar wear

I got Dish Red Zone so I get all the sunday games(only sunday) MNF is still free. Imagine Amazon will go after that next.13 bucks a month. I had DTV and they wanted 349.00 a season
