    When it's a pitcher leaving in the middle of a no hitter or perfect game, it's a crime against sports. When it's a running back, it's the worst decision ever? C'mon with that weak sauce man! A pitcher could throw a hundred mph fast ball and have it come back and crack their head open. They could throw out their arm and be out for an entire year with TJ surgery.

    I understand Rob's point but this goes to the main issue about load management or players not playing at their absolute best until the playoffs. You can't have it both ways. Rob's saying Saquon shouldn't go for the record because of the injury risk would be the same as if he decides to not play the last 2 games or lollygagging during those games. The media would go crazy if he did that.

You can get injured at any moment and even healthy they’re not a lock regardless to come out the NFC via lions. The giants got rid of him & all of a sudden now he’s ready to break the all time rushing record. Clearly he’s motivated to prove them wrong & now the last game is against the “giants” in PHILLY. Wtf is Rob Parker smoking? Bruh that’s a huge morale BOOST heading into the post season. The fact that the Eagles believe in him enough to recruit he will give the fans what they want. Regardless if he gets injured or not via any dam player that steps on that field?? Eagles have their running back for the next 3-4 years. The window in the weak NFC will still be open.
