He is far and away the most overrated player on the team.  He consistently under achieves and minimizes runs.  

The graph posted last week tells the story, the OL opens mammoth holes for Miles and he isnt earning yards on his own. 

His vision is below average, his hands are bad, he doesnt break tackles or move piles.   Hes a slightly better Wendell Smallwood and we'll all be better off to realize that

Yup

just speculating but does "abdominal pain" = Appendicitis?

He'd have no shot at playing if it were

Lol pretty sure they would have diagnosed appendicitis or he would be dead.

Nah I'm with you on that opinion 

If Sanders was better all around as a blocker and receiver I could look past his poor vision and inability to break a tackle but he's not.

Plus him constantly getting hurt doesn't help either.

Not to mention Lane Johnson scored more tds than Miles this year.🤷‍♂️

I think there's probably a range in the draft where the value in the late first is similar to the second round.  I think a trade up for a QB is a possibility.  I think some team might want to trade up for a receiver.  I don't think Carolina is going to want to trade up for a QB.  If they think a QB is worth pick 15 or 16 then why not take him at pick 6.   I could see NO trading up for a QB.  They are at 18 and they might give up a future 2nd to move up 3 spots.  

That makes sense. Anecdotally, the Saints are also the worst in the league at caring about future draft capital. If I’m remembering correctly they’ve given up future 1’s for Mark Ingram and Davenport.

Do you mean this graph showing he is as productive vs EPA as Taylor?

Will Shields, nope.

But, looking at that I found another one, Willie Roaf.

So what is our list now @Connecticut Eagle

Willie Roaf, Jim Brown, John Hanna, Otto Graham,  who else did we have ??

Ken Riley CB Bengals 1983 - first and only AP at the age of 36.

Not since before Christmas. I have 1 tag left for doe that I bought to hunt flintlock season with a buddy of mine. Unfortunately he's had to work every Saturday so we will miss out on it. I honestly don't need any more venison at the moment anyways and was probably going to give the deer away if I did get another one. 

So no I haven't. Have you been cold weather camping?

I'll send you my address.

It was a different graph

It showed that Miles Sanders' expected yards per rush was like over 5.  Absurd blocking that he is getting.  He should be absolutely dominating but hes like 2 tiers below Taylor

Just watch the two and they are not even close to the same level.  Sanders isn't that type of player.

He had a stretch last year where he ran with patience and showed good vision and was pass blocking like a maniac. But the majority of his career has been incredibly underwhelming

Give Milton some snaps.  It can't hurt.

Uh, excuse me......Roaf was the guy I was thinking of.  He wore glasses at times.  

 

You're welcome. 

Roaf did not play with them that I remember

 

 

This new graph also shows that Miles Sanders is good...

I thought he'd be 2nd team all pro, I feel like stats like these need to be passed out to the voters who only look at ints.

Well you misinterpreted the first one

Want to try again?

No, he's good. Our OL is excellent and Miles still provides value despite missing some holes because of his speed/elusiveness.

Ok then post your graph again, because it didn't say what you thought it did

Here's another one.  I will stipulate that Sanders' availability is a concern.  But on the field, he is very good.

Slay was the only other Eagles to get a vote. He got one and finished 5th among corners.

I got zero and finished tied for 7th.

This is like doing a simple math problem and when you get to the answer it's like 0.004739

You know something has gone wrong with the math

Taylor is not even in the same ballpark

I don’t think he’s a first-ballot hall of famer, but he’s getting in. 

That will resonate with HoF voters?   not sure I agree with that part, but he's definitely a HoF OC IMO.
