Bro couldn’t even stay healthy in the preseason 

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

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.

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.
