Yeah but Saquon was taken with the 2nd overall pick and jags picked at 29th. What are you suggesting we trade up for Barkley? Also Considering we're starting linemen that couldn't even make the roster for the Giants, I'd say our Oline is worse, much worse.

You're missing the point so I'll help you.

When you take a RB in the top 5, they need to be transcendent with the ability to produce no matter what. Barkley is playing with a god awful QB (Just like LF) and an extremely below average Oline (just like LF). For most of the year, the only Olineman to not really play was Cam Robinson. Barkley is making plays out of nothing while LF is making nothing out of nothing. He's only as good as his Oline.

Think you're being obtuse. Barkley is better than Fournette, but so what? Fournette is a bust because a player that was taken 2 picks earlier than him, a year later is better? What does it matter that Barkley is better? Does a top 5 pick have to be a future hall of famer to not be labeled a bust? Does the fact that Barkley was taken 2 picks higher than Fournette afford him a little bit of room to be better without Fournette being labeled a bust? If a RB is taken first overall next year turns out better than Barkley, does that mean he's a bust? We can point at a bunch of players that are better than on our roster, so I'm not sure if I'm missing the point or you're just looking for reasons to whine.

Our QB is WORSE than Eli Manning.
Our OLINE is WORSE than the Giants.
Our OC is WORSE than the Giants.


So our RB being worse than the Giants just seems par for the course. But I think the comparison to Barkley is ridiculous because we never even had a chance to get him, so what does it matter? Why be bitter than Fournette is not Barkley when we didn't take Fournette over Barkley?
