Barkley is not the best rb that comes from this class.
I would say this is accurate, Nick Chubb was basically always better outside of rookie year.
But they have certainly been two of the better running backs in the league, so it’s not even much of a knock on Saquan.
Was 😪
I still think Barkley would be a HoF level RB if he went to any sort of competent org… we ruined a hell of a highlight reel by making him the only threat and sticking him behind a dog shit line his entire career lol
Saquon has the talent to be a first ballot Hall of Famer. However while he has struggled by being on the Giants during a down era for them I’m pretty confident he would get injured to some degree no matter what team he played for.
Hell, look at Barkley his rookie year with Eli. He was still awesome. But unfortunately, the Giants have a terrible line and Daniel Jones was who they bet the house on
Atlanta is trying to do the same thing and ruin the career of my boy Bijan.
We over used Saquon in a bad system, their system seems to be “use the other guy” lol
He was hurt as much as he was healthy. Some of them were dumb luck, like stepping on his opponent’s foot and missing several games with a bum ankle.

For sure injuries play into it too. But he has been our entire offense, so hes taking more hits, and most of them are well behind the line lol
I really feel sad for guys like him who just have their careers wasted. There are a lot of them in the league. Who knows how many of us could have been flowers with enough water and care?
I don’t have a post in that thread to make fun of, but I definitely didn’t think Chubb would be a consistent top tier back.
Baker was always competent in Cleveland though and gave their offense a chance to spread the ball, opening up running for Chubb
The giants have had… an array not non-competence at the QB position since Barkley was taken
The browns literally had to trade their aged RB1 so hue Jackson would play Chubb. And he was good before the trade. Hue just refused to utilize him.

In an alternate universe, Ace Ventura investigates the case of a stolen Jet
Not having a first round pick and coming away with goeddert, sweat, and Maddox (injuries aside) is a solid haul
I appreciate your respect for Mitch. There are still a lot of doubts about him throughout most of the subreddit but we really believe we have our guy.
…
Watching him from afar I was like eh I’m not so sure about this kid. Then I watched him shred the Bengals defense like soft cheddar and realized he is fucking good.
…
Can’t wait to see what he does with some real receiving threats and a year of film/experience under his belt. This is a pretty big year for Mitch.
lol
Calling u/ndf1997 to eat a Carolina Reaper and film it. I love Bills’ fans. They have the best shenanigans.
“Carolina Reaper if Reddit still exists in 5 years?”
That thread was extremely bullish on Harold Landry
I don’t think Darnold can be classified as a bust. Some dude is going to have to eat a hot pepper and film himself.
Man, nice to see the Vita Vea comment. Predicted he’ll be HOF but will never make the playoffs, and he won us a ring. Nice :)
u/TechnoViking94 you missed your chance! You even set yourself a reminder to repost in 5 years for easy Karma and everything!
We should do this after the draft. Most of the comments are predicting how the draft will go instead of how players careers will go.
u/technoviking94 well. Did the remind me work?

Also appreciate the call of Lamar to the Ravens.
Mason Rudolph will be better than josh rosen
That was actually a really good take. It’s not that Rudolph is anything special, but Rosen is that bad.
Count me among those who thought at the time that the Bills would regret passing on Josh Rosen. The draft truly is a crapshoot
