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.
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.
Rate some other players/seasons in your lifetime: T.O.? BWest? MVick? DonnyMac? Shady?
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.
I’m 70 and agree
Who’s he competing against? AJ in 22 or TO in 04? Vick in 2010 was pretty dope
2/3 of the Wentz season was also incredible
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.
What comparable defensive players do you have in mind? Reggie White? Anyone else?
You love the ol' alma mater.
Saquon with the Philly o line his whole career would already be a hall of famer
the best Kelce year?
It’s really telling that AJ goes like 6-107 every week and it’s completely under the radar
I think this kind of talk is very premature but if he stays on track, I agree. ...better than TO, even.
Reggie White in prime?
My bad
"offensive player"
Only competition I can think of is Owens 2004 and maybe the Lane season where he didn’t give up a sack, right?
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
And all Philly fans should give thanks to New York.
Would only be third player in Philly history to win MVP in Y1. Moses MVP w/Sixers (b2b!) and Halladay Cy Young.
Take a page out of @bowulf.bsky.social 's book and open with a ten minute discussion of Jake Elliott's bounce back game
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 don't think that's even a take is it?
He is a beast and is so much fun to watch. Damn shame he wasted away in NY.
Better than desean and mccoy?
TO or mcnabb?
Reggie white was defense..I don't know.
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.
do it, you won't 🤣
Philly Special pod should be live @sheilkapadia.bsky.social
1:30am ET record because it was Sunday night!
We’d watch, Sheil!
Not your most outrageous take!
👃
Not sure it's close. Maybe Randall's 1990 season adjusted for era? Terrell Owens? Neither was like this imo
Don't think it's insane tbh
TO Superbowl season would be the biggest counter-argument I think
no way
Co-signed
This or TO has to be it right?
This is really revolutionary considering he just broke the franchise’s record for rushing. I’m excited to see if you follow through with this incredibly controversial take that is in no way controversial.
He’s 2004 Terrell Owens amazing. Seriously.
Who else is even in the conversation? TO 2004?
