Barkley had 482 touches his first season with the eagles. That takes a toll. Especially an older RB.

Feel free to flesh this point out. Are you saying that Marshall Faulk was not a great HB? If not, how does this point advance your argument (whatever it is)?
Marshall Faulk wasn't Marshall Faulk til he came to the Rams.
And you're the guy turning Jeremiah Love into a JAG Running Back prospect. Highly questionable.

Easy there, pardner…we ain’t beefin’
Of course I watched the game. Just engaging in talk about the effect of a home run hitter and the difference one can make. When they could block for him, Saquon was the difference maker because it sure as heckfire wasn’t their passing game…lol.
Most are talking about Love.
I’m firmly on the Mike Washington Jr train…
6’2” 221 lbs, 4.33 40 yard dash and is a natural pass catcher with soft hands which among running backs isn’t common. Runs over and by people and is 22 pound heavier than Jamyr Gibbs and just as fast if not faster.
There were a lot of reasons for that trade, none of them a reflection that Faulk wasn’t Faulk. It was still a blockbuster trade at the time and the Colts felt they could avoid paying Faulk by drafting Edgerrin James in the first round which they did.
No, wasn't a reflection of Faulk. We KNEW we were getting a great player, Faulk wasn't quite what he ended up to be in St. Louis in Indy though. Smart move by Indy re-setting the "RB clock" going from Marshall to Edgerrin. Great point out Mack.
If that was the trade package to move up to #7 I’d do it without hesitation. I think WASH would consider it.
If our future #1 pick was involved I’d still consider it. Some members on the board would be on suicide watch if that happened, lol.
I really think that Love is going to TEN at #4, and I don’t see the Rams willing to go up that high for anyone except a QB.

Hes 100% correct that Philly never beats us without Barkley.
It doesn’t necessarily mean he’ll be better than KW right out of the gate either.
Wrong. Faulk was a three-time Pro Bowler and was a second-team All Pro player three times before joining the Rams. In his final year in Indy, he had 1300+ rushing yards and 900+ receiving yards. He put up better numbers with the Rams, but that's because he was playing for a better offensive mind and on a better offense. Faulk was still Faulk in Indy.
Wrong again. I wouldn't support drafting Jeremiyah Love in the first round if I thought he was a JAG. What I have disputed are the exaggerated claims that portray him as a generational talent at HB. He's not that. I've been high on Love for a long time (example), but the juice has to be worth the squeeze. Trading a bunch of valuable assets for a HB when we already have a good one is not a smart allocation of resources.
On a horrendous team. Giants didnt trade him.
If Love is Barkley you wouldn't trade up for him?
Kyren IS very good. Just hope Love is not top level (McCaffrey, Saquon) if he's NOT a Ram. Really hope he's not in NFC.

I drink things, and know nothing
Bro. Why were you disputing me if you like Love in this offfense too lol? I don't want to trade up for anyone, but if he's there at 13.....
They lowballed him. Which is worse, they got nothing back for him.
Love isn't my concern. I was just replying to your dissing of faulk. Faulk everyday over Barkley.
.
Of course Faulk over Barkley. Not sure how i dissed Faulk, by comparing Love's traits to him?
Anyways, the Love trade up is not happening.
There at 13, LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLBro. Why were you disputing me if you like Love in this offfense too lol? I don't want to trade up for anyone, but if he's there at 13.....
Or without Hurts, or Jalen Carter, or Jake Elliott or Nolan Smith or Cooper Dejean or withour countless Rams mistakes or etc etc
It's a team game and that was a team win
