My oh my does Miles Sanders look quick. Could he have
- Thread starter Sooner Lion
- Start date
Sure am glad he's an Eagle. Great receiver out of the backfield too.
I wouldn't be surprised if Sanders plays in a couple of pro bowls before he retires
Let me know when he has a game with 189 yards rushing, 90 yards receiving, and 2 TDs like Barkley had today.
LOL.
The league hasn't seen a running back like Barkley since a different Sanders entered the league.

Love Sanders, he will make the Iggles happy, and probably will be in the pro bowl at some point but he is no Saquon.
Sanders is over 1,500 yards as a rookie (rushing, receiving and returns). He might not be another Barkley but he’s doing just fine as Miles Sanders.
Next week.....Barkley and Sanders head to head.
Miles Sanders finishes with 156 yards from scrimmage - 79 yard rushing and 77 yards receiving and a TD.
He has 1590 all-purpose yards this season.
Rushing - 766 yards
Receiving - 510 yards
Kick-off returns - 314 yards
Miles is exceeding my expectations at least. It helps that Howard has missed so much time, but Miles has taken advantage of that opportunity -- and then some.
Think he has a chance to be a Pro Bowl type of back at some point. If he gets a shot as the feature back (like he's been able to do with Howard out), then he can do it.
But Saquon......if he stays healthy, he's going up on the Mt. Rushmore of NFL all-time great backs. The speed-power-agility combination is just incredible. Add to that his refusal to fumble the football, his likeable personality, and his playing under the brightest of lights......the stage is set for him to be the face of the NFL for years.
All respect to Miles. But Saquon is on a different level. And for his (Miles') sake, I hope people don't insist on comparing him to his #26 brethren. He's a great player in his own right.

No argument here. As great as Miles has been, I would love to see what Saquon could do with a real offensive line.
All Miles cares about is winning a division title. This head to head stuff is nonsense.
yep, the steal of the draft. very few miles on the tires
.And your point is? Merely pointing out that they will be on the same field next week. Something that PSU fans should be excited about.
Lighten up, Francis.
Nonsense yes, but comparison is what we do. Seems to be the life blood of being a football (or sports in general) fan. We can't seem to rest easy in the joy of the great seasons that both these very fine players are having. Maybe there is something after all to that ancient proverb "all comparisons are odious". ☺
Imagine Saquon could do behind the Ravens Offensive Line!!!!
The fact that we are arguing about how well PSU running backs are doing in the NFL is a freaking great sign....keep up the good work people....in the old days our high RB draft picks came in with freaky potential than shattered their knees.....(see Ki Jana Carter & Curtis Enis)...these are good times if you fools are bitching about who had the better day in the league....RBU!
Miles is lucky in terms of tread left - and Saquon has had to deal with an OL deficit after being hit a lot at PSU. Not many backs would last with the G-men OL.
Saquon’s injury may have helped him in the long run with load management.
So 40 percent are from Penn State - the school with the running back curse. Nice.
LOL i was thinking the same thing. I am an egales fan but barkley just put up over 200 yards and several TDs
