Saquon Barkley is an all-time talent and better than McCaffrey

Barkley isn't a bad player at all. Dude had a high ankle sprain, missed like, two games and came back and has continued to play. 

Teams are selling out on the run and making Daniel Jones throw it. If Jones improves at all in the offseason then Barkley will have a better year next year.

I personally think Barkley is a beast and hold no ill will towards him. Hope he has a great career, just not against the Panthers. 

Also I have both him and CMC in my dynasty fantasy league, so I'm a bit biased in this regard...

This is the sort of conversation that ultimately will not be too kind to either player when you look at how the NFL is evolving.

Saquon and McCaffrey are both legit threats. The harsh gut punching truth though is the running back position is becoming more and more devalued as each league year passes. You see big names come and go, but teams across the NFL are running the ball without investing top picks or throwing out record contracts.

At the end of the day, you need an OL, and you need a QB. We've seen our own team falter this year with the game on the line even with a talent like #22 in the backfield.

Look man,lets not kid ourselves. Looking at their athletic measurements Saquon Barkley is without a dout more gifted than CMC on paper. Times measurements whatever. Hes bigger faster and stronger. Hes a bigger homerun threat.. with super 40 speed, and this 4th and 1 4th and short issue that we keep losing games on I'm not sure Barkley doesn't win those. Hes 233 and hes faster.. hes a generational talent* meaning tools he has to work with.

cmc is a good athlete.. right at or above average in athletic testing in the areas of speed. But I think his cone was elite. Cmc is probably the best receiving back I have ever seen in my lifetime. Having said that Barkley isn't that far behind him. Hes made some outstanding grabs that wrs couldnt make and caught what 80 balls last year?

The reason he isn't standing out this year? Didn't he just break his ankle or some significant injury? That has drastically changed his lateral speed and agility. I dont know if this is who he is forever or this injury is just temporary but that doesn't change how he looked coming out. Saying you would take CMC right now vs saying if they both were in the same class and we didn't know any of this would happen I'm betting 90% of us go Barkley. I know I would.

On that note, CMC is the better player only because his receiving ability makes him transcends his position. Saquon is the better traditional runningback but that just doesn't cut it in today's NFL.

      Ticket Prices

      By toldozer · Posted

      I read an article a few days ago that places like Seattle green bay and a few others are revoking tickets rights to holders that sell 100% of their tickets. That would do a lot of good league wide for bringing back some home field advantages. We aren't the only team who's stadiums get over run by visitors. It happens basically everywhere. That would go a long way to bringing ticket costs down

      Panthers schedule is out

      yeah, you can basically copy and paste my thoughts from this time last year.   We are building an O more suited for Jake Delhomme than Bryce Young.  Tmac and XL sound great for the downfield gunslinger  Give them opportunities to make plays.  From what I have seen, and the scouting stuff I have read.....TMac does not project as a get open quick WR.  He is going to have to work on getting off the line at this level, getting open, etc.  Which is all good.  This you go to think people will be studs out the gate or you are hater logic just ain't what I do.   Take my XL stance last year.  I lobbied hard for him.  When we drafted him I immediately told folks to pump their breaks on the wild expectations.    If XL legitimately turned into what I think he can be.....his best setup in the league would not be paired w/ a QB like Young.  if Bryce was going to be the dude, I would have lobbied for Ladd vs XL.  I was an XL guy.   And again, I would have gone Warren/Jeanty this draft.   I would have invested in small ball talent for him to be the PG for.

      @TheBigKatare you going to Arizona? I'm thinking about making a road trip again. Haven't venture out since we got spanked in Miami a couple years ago
