Take I am considering revealing on Philly Special tonight: Saquon Barkley is delivering the best individual season for an Eagles offensive player in my lifetime.

Saquon is in 2004 TO territory, for sure.

Barkley has my vote for MVP in the National Football League for the 2024 season.

I think this is correct. T.O. in 2004. Vick in 2010. Wentz in 2017. Those would be the only possible alternatives. Westbrook in 2007? I think? But Saquon has already surpassed some of his numbers.

Who’s he competing against? AJ in 22 or TO in 04? Vick in 2010 was pretty dope

TO really only comes to mind leading to the SB. Maybe Randall '88 or '89? Reggie '87? Akers 2002?

Wentz 2017 (until the Rams game) was just as astonishing, every week. MVP for sure if he had finished the season.

Good for him,I watched him at Penn St and I thought he was 1 of the best I've seen.He had a good rookie year with NY, then the knee went and NY hit rock bottom,he must feel like a hobby horse was magically turned into a Stallion

Every play a potential HR. I’ve never seen anything like it. Once he gets to the second level, he’s gone. This line was built for him.

I've been saying Saquon and AJ are 2 of the 10 (maybe 20) best football players I've ever seen. Both on the same offense. We are fortunate.
