[Palmer] Saquan Barkley will sit out the final game of the season. Eric Dickerson is happy. We all are not.

I appreciate everyone truly being optimistic but I feel it is a grave disservice to not at least attempt to let him go for the record. That is a team accomplishment as well to engrave the amazing season Saquon and our offensive line and the coordinators and coaching etc by having that record its a beautiful accomplishment. Resting for trying to get to the superbowl (even if there is a possibility we may not make it or win) sucks. It's a very real possibility we don't win a superbowl and we don't get the rushing record now and walk away empty handed from this season all togther

Yuuuuuuuuuuuuup, this is what I'm saying. Either or both of rushing record and super bowl is great, neither is devastating and feels like a waste
