The irony if Saquon breaks Dickersons record and people declare that automatically means he should.

[Orangeisback]

In 1984 when Dickerson set that record, he didnt win the MVP. Dan Marino was the overwhelming MVP that year.

Barkley needs 100 yards to tie Dickerson's record. Philly has nothing to play for next week.

Well, they kept him in the game in a blowout W, so they will do everything they can to let him get the record.

It will just have an asterisk because it’s in 17 games.

I wonder what the Eagles fans want. Huh...interesting. Let's ask them.

Buuuuuut Dickersons record didn't have an asterisk since it was done in 16 games rather than 14 by the murderer.

Actually Dickerson broke the record in 15 games.

Huh...still applies though...I think.

Not to change the subject but this is comedy gold.

I would be shocked if Saquon played next week.


I expect the Eagles brain trust to shut everyone down, and let the Giants further ruin their chances of drafting a franchise QB by having New York win another meaningless game. Can't have any more Jayden Daniels in this division now!

Then isn't there one for Dickerson, too, as record he broke was 14 games?

 

[dtgold88]

Actually Dickerson broke the record in 15 games.

Then he took an extra game just like Barkley...but I don't think he gets it.

I think Dickerson broke it in the 15th game.

But a 16 game season. Missing a game to injury or whatever reason should not matter IMO. Availability matters.

Of course, and NFL records aren't really like baseball records. Everything is so relative to rules and eras. Baseball too, but nearly as many rule changes as football.

OJ still holds the record of Yards per Game. Having been a season ticket holder at the time (when home games weren't televised), I saw every yard he made.

I like the one guy near the end. He is like. Fuck this I'm out! LOL

I know the intelligence of what you are saying, but honestly.
If I thought he could get the record. I would let him. We are talking history not just winning a meaningless game.
I would let him go get it!

I assume you are talking for a season?
Because I thought the guy in 1st (career) was Jim Brown. Average over 100 yards a game for a career IIRC. That is a crazy stat.

Again going off memory so maybe I am wrong.

 

[Xeliou66]

I think Saquon should win MVP this season - if I had a vote I would probably vote for him. Lamar and Allen have been great as well, but Saquon has had a downright historic season and has carried the Eagles to the division title and the playoffs - without him I’m not sure if they make it.

OJ, Jim Brown and Sir Walter Payton all had more yards gained per game than Eric Butthurterson did. There's the true irony - him calling out Barkley on a record that, in truth, belongs to OJ. Payton second, Jim Brown 3rd, and Eric buthurtickerson 4th.

If he had the required amount of self awareness, it would be useful to tell him to shut the fuck up. But, alas, he does not.
