Storm Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Rosen made a couple pretty throws but right now Im questioning his decision making and ability to read defenses. Nothing that cant be taught but hes a couple years away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nas Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 This is the 99 draft all over again with mayfield as McNabb and the others as couch mcnown Smith and Culpepper. And we end up with Edgerrin James x 10 This is probably the best description anyone can think of. Given Barry Sanders is pretty much my favorite football player of all time (I really didn't get to see much of LT and when I did I had no idea what football was about)... Barkley is making too easy to fall in love with him.. not just his play on the field but also his demeanor... I love that he doesn't act like a clown when he scores a touch down.

Storm Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Barkley is much stronger than Barry Sanders with the same elusiveness. Hes going to break a lot more tackles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boohyah Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Way too early to be comparing to sanders boys. Sanders was special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boohyah Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Sanders retired way early and if he played a bit longer he may well have the rushing yards lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazedDogs Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 I don't really see much of Sanders in Barkley's game, other than how low both guys play. Beyond that they have very different styles. Sanders was unique, there will never be another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazedDogs Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Barkley is unique too though.... Never seen anything like him before either. Sanders wasn't much of a receiver, that is one way they differ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazedDogs Posted October 19, 2018 Share Posted October 19, 2018 Sanders retired way early and if he played a bit longer he may well have the rushing yards lead. Almost certainly. He was the best pure runner I've ever seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond that they have very different styles. Sanders was unique, there will never be another. Yeah Sanders and Barkley are nothing alike. Sanders was like fluid, the guy just went into a pile of 11 defenders and just spun his way out of it, the entire defense looked like it was in slow motion with Sanders. Sanders made guys miss with his quickness and agility, Barkley gets out of tackles by out running guys or simply powering thru them with ease. Barkley is more like Jim Brown or TD, the kid is to strong and fast to be brought down by simple arm/leg tackles and is STUPID quick for his size. Barkley hits his top speed in a single stride, and when a guy his size hits the edge he's just gone in a cloud of dust. Both are very unique, but I don't think anything alike, outside of being impossible to bring down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueInCanada Posted October 19, 2018 Author Share Posted October 19, 2018 Oh and also; LOLOLOL" we should of drafted one of these QBs" Literally the best RB to come out of the draft in ages, literally the only player you've heard of in the last 5 years to be "A generational type of player" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storm Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I dont think Josh Allen or Josh Rosen are going to be good quarterbacks. I think Darnold will be decent. Mayfield was gone. If they werent in love with Darnold, Barkley was the right pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fringe Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I hope Barkley is great forever.Theres no real relevant data to show that a great RB leads to championships. Usually they fizzle after a couple years. Even the long lasting ones like Tomlinson and AP havent had that kind of effect.He can be a great piece of the puzzle but we need a QB. Otherwise its the 90s again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazedDogs Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 Fault, Payton, Emmitt Smith. Ravens wouldn't have been all that in 2000 without Jamal Lewis. A lot more examples if we go further back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fringe Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 marshall faulk was a big part of showtime or whatever they called themselves. But they needed a QB...Payton struggled with bad teams until the defense dominated...Emmitt , ok i'll give you that. The RB who had the most influence on Dallas winning was Herscel Walker. And don't start bringing up Crazy Legs Hirsch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't start bringing up Crazy Legs Hirsch It was plug and play at QB for those Rams. Trent Green would have put up huge numbers, I think Kurt Warner stole his lunch. Mark Bulger put up big numbers after they got tired of the blind church of Kurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayD Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I don't know how you guys can say Barry and Barkley are nothing alike. What makes both so dangerous is there ability to change direction without slowing down. That misdirection side step that just stops defenders in there tracks. Then the acrobatic hurtles and the low center of gravity to power through tackles. I just watch a Sander's top 50, and a few of them looked exactly like Barkley's best plays so far this year. I'm certain once Barkley has enough highlight plays you could do a split screen and showing the similarities between the two. Seems to me they are many.

CrazedDogs Posted October 20, 2018 Share Posted October 20, 2018 I know what you mean Jayd, it's a short list of guys with the same kind of stop and cut quickness as Barkley and Sanders. What I mean is they both have different styles. Sanders broke all the rules - he would stop his feet in the backfield, wait to see where the defense was going, and then just run away from them, at full speed in one step. Nobody else could ever do that. Barkley is 3 or 4 inches taller, 30 lbs heavier, and as quick as he is he can't do that either. They have different field vision, different styles... Sanders was a legend though, it's hard for me to put anybody on his level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant understate how excited I am for Barkley being our RB.... this offseason we should be able to improve our OL and address the Qb situation although Eli can still play with a decent OL...

fringe Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 We are worse than last year- last year we had a bunch of injuries to skill players and we were playing teams on a 2nd place schedule. This year we are relatively healthy and we are playing teams on a last place schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
