Bump this thread when Miles Sanders is the main reason for winning

People are still depending on a RB to deliver us wins? Will they never learn? RB is an after thought in todays NFL.

We had arguably the best RB in the league for a couple season and averaged 5 wins a year. RBs do not win games anymore. The OL has more to do with their success than the actual RB. 

As long as the RB can catch an occasional pass and not fumble a ton hes good enough.

People forget his ability to catch passes when he was a prospect coming in.

They forget because Sanders hasn’t been good in that role over the last 3 seasons.  Frankly bad in 2 of the last 3 seasons.

Proven pros don’t play in the preseason exactly so that they stay healthy.

Miles Sanders has had one good year as a rusher behind the best OL in the league….while being graded the worst receiving RB in all the NFL at the same time by PFF. 

he could of used reps.  And he could have used them in our new offense.

When you play with a rushing QB running backs pass catching goes down alot

The grading of his game as a receiver is about the work he gets.   You can grade high with low volume.  He graded dead last in all the NFL amongest RBs. 

He also graded out really poorly with Wentz in 2020. 

He has the talent.  Hope he does well.  But people are saying he is good at something he hasn’t shown to be the last 3 years.  And it was talked about in Philly coverage.  Routes, hands, reliability.  And even if you hate PFF, they never get it THAT wrong IMO.  That the league worst is actually really good in their grading system.

And I wish we added someone that was proven in that niche.  All I care about is aiding Young.

True but RB is a necessity still in the modern game. If you have a guy who cant find holes, change direction fast or hot the hole quickly and your run game sucks the other team will prep for the pass only all day and be ready to shut it down. While maybe not valued as much, they are still very important and you need some decent ones. Outside of Sanders I worry for depth in that area.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
