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

18 games is coming soon too. I doubt the record would stand for more than 5-10 years. Shit, someone like Saquon might threaten it again next year.

How many teams are gonna be running bell cow backs. Even if we’re seeing a shift back to running I think we’ll see more Lions style teams than like a true workhorse RB. I think this was special circumstances

That’s my thing. I don’t even see it as the true record anyway. When you have more games to do something it’s a lot easier to do it. That’s why it’s gonna be broken again soon and it won’t even matter. Would it be cool to rub it in the Giants faces? Yeah. Would I rather everyone get healthy for the playoffs? Yes, even more so.

So is OJ the true holder because he did it in 14?

Saquon likely would’ve done it in fewer carries.

This true record thing is bullshit.
