[Eagles Nation] Miles Sanders says he was disappointed with his # of SB touches: “Last game of the season? For all of the marbles? If they put themselves in my shoes, would they be happy? I don’t wanna make headlines, but if it does, I don’t care. Maybe you should ask them why I’m moving here.”

1. Well miles, they gave you the ball right away and you fumbled it

   Enjoy your 4 wins

2. I’ll let that one go, hope it doesn’t become a common theme though. He has to know that it’s a numbers game and we weren’t gonna pay him
   anywhere near what the Panthers did and if we did he would’ve gladly chose to stay behind our elite O-Line.

3. The offense wasn’t the problem in the game.

4. Offense put up 35 without those carries. You’re there because they didn’t need you here

5. Can’t catch, can’t hit the hole, can’t understand clock management, can’t understand down and distance, can’t stay healthy, and can’t secure the ball. What doesn’t he understand?

6. No love lost, hes probably just frustrated. Now if he continues to whine, then im going to become his number one hater.

7. All due respect Miles Sanders is a slightly above replacement level running back.

8. Well, our offense was fine in the SB

   Also, he had 7 carries for 19 yards and 1 fumble, so….

9. Miles plz don’t do this….

10. Dude…you fumbled (out of hounds at least) on your first carry of the SuperBowl and are not worth your salary. That’s why you didn’t play as much and why you’re not here anymore. Deal with it dude.

11. Yeah I’ll give him a pass. He’s probably still hurt about having to move on. Which I feel. Literally we’re just in the Super Bowl now your in Carolina. I will miss Boobie

12. Our offense was great in the SB. Sounds like a you problem

13. He’s just pissed we didn’t give him a huge contract this offseason. Sorry not sorry, oh well.

14. He virtually fumbled twice in the Super Bowl.

15. I’m pretty sure he has arthritis in his knee because of the way he looked during the 2nd half of the season, he was not running with the same burst and speed

    And we didnt say anything publicly so it wouldnt hurt his big payday. We did him a favor, idk why he would be upset

16. Bro fumbled and made the wrong cut every time he touched it. Did the same shit in big games at PSU. I respect the shit out of the coaches for recognizing the situation and going to other guys.

17. Boo eff’in whooo, Miles. How about you hold onto the ball……

18. He got way more than he deserves w this contract. Surprised he’s acting out like this, considering.

19. Maybe because you fumbled your first carry of the game, which thankfully went out of bounds? Don’t do this, Miles.

20. As far as the SB touches, it’s no different than AJ throwing a fit while we were blowing out the Giants because he felt like opportunities were there to be had and missed. These dudes compete at the highest level, of course they want the ball. (also an example of why adding Hopkins to a group with AJ/DeVonta/Dallas never made any sense beyond WIP fanfiction)

    Miles is well within his rights to feel slighted by the team that drafted him essentially moving on, and the Eagles absolutely made the right choice to not hand a 2nd contract to a solid but unspectacular back.

21. Lmao dude had 7 carries for 16 yards??? And I remember him dropping an easy catch in the SB. I looked at my pops and asked why tf they throwing to miles sanders

22. The Eagles had 450 yards of offense and scored 35 points. This is just proof at how little runningbacks matter and why there was never a prayer the eagles were gonna draft Bijan.
