Imagine averaging 4 yards a carry and your QB throws two picks and YOU get the blame there needs to be a kid table version of this site lol

Imagine signing that contract and being worse than Hubbard…

and we had a rookie QB debuting on the road  and asked him to pass 38 times.  Imagine thinking it’s the QB’s fault.

His fumbles concern me. He's had fumbilitis his WHOLE career dating back to college. Also had costly fumbles for the Eagles to.

I tried to tell people that a really good franchise deemed him inconsistent and unreliable over the last 3 years.   Banged up fumbles, horrific routes,  hands.  It was always something each year with Sanders.  They deemed him a committee back they could part with…..we deemed him worthy of lead RB pay.

Wow. I must have been watching another game. I thought he looked great. I was very happy with his performance, outside the fumble. 

 

I'm not the GM/scout some of you are though...

[Ricky Prickles]

It was ONE GAME. Chuba looked pretty good running hard yesterday but im not writing off Sanders for ONE GAME. Have you ever had a bad day at your job or ever been less than spectacular at anything on any given day? If he continues to look sub par the rest of the season I would understand this statement but after the first game is absolutely overreacting and ridiculous.

[Khyber53]

We'll know better after next week. I do think that Chuba earned the starting position for next week's game, though.

Maybe Sanders was having an off day. Maybe there was a reason the Eagles were okay with letting him go.

We'll just have to see.

4.0 YPC would've been good for 32nd in the NFL among RBs last season. Hw also had a crucial fumble turnover himself.

We didn't pay him too FA RB money to be our second best RB.

PFF’s highest graded player of the game.

Mrs. Rhule’s pick Hubbard 

 

[Aussie Tank]

No preseason showed he’s still the most complete back we have

That's disturbing news. We should hire her to be a RB scout because ours seems to be looking in the wrong places.

Chuba was definitely our best RB yesterday 

Reich doesn't strike me as the kind of coach that cares about contracts. Hubbard will start Sunday.

2 yards short of 100 all purpose yards. That’s pretty solid coming off an injury. People are just hating on him because of the fumble. 

I think we are more mad that Chuba didn't get more carries when he pretty much got eight plus yards each carry in the second half. And that fumble was back breaking - I honestly think we win the game if he didn't play that series, which is amazing considering how subpar Bryce played.

And somebody tell our dumbass play callers to run the ball behind the left side of our o line more. They absolutely dominated the right side of the falcons d-line on run plays most of the game.

Overreaction 

It could be. The reason the eagles let him scoot are the same things he showed today, and that’s coming from someone that was very close excited to have him.

He had 1 good run and a critical turnover. You’re blaming a rookie little man
