At the end of the 2017 season.

Loved watching that dude play...Eagles are going to miss him.

Does that up the percentage the birds go RB in the first round?

I wonder what they could get for him in a trade? Try to get a 4th or 5th rounder for him.

Chip brought him to Philly, right?

Who was more exciting to watch...Sproles or BWest?

[BigSlizz]

Westbrook is one of my favorites, but I'd pick Sproles. He's like watching little Mario after he gets a star.

Sproles has exceeded my expectations and played a very long career for an RB. However, it's not even close on who was more fun to watch. Sproles is a playmaker but he's not an every down back. BWest was possibly the best back in the NFL 06-08. His game-winning TD against Minn in the playoffs, to tie against TB, end of the half against the Lions in 07, to win against the Skins in 07, 4 on Thanksgiving 08, 2 in the playoffs against NO, miracle at the meadlowlands, 3 receiving TDs in a half against GB...Sproles runs hard but he doesn't compare.

Sproles is a border line Hall of Famer ... as much as I like Westbrook, he ain't.

Why would you trade the only guy who knows how to return punts and gets you a first down when needed and big play guy when needed. It's the only weapon this team has. A 4th or 5th round pick will get you shit.

GOOD FOR HIM. HE HAD A NICE CAREER, PLAYED WELL FOR MOST OF IT.

Yeah I've wondered about Sproles' HOF chances. But if guys like Edgerrin James don't make the HOF, I don't think Sproles will make it to Canton.

This is a separate argument, but man did our offense revolve around BWest for a few years. 03, 06, 07, 08 we were a completely different team without him on the field.

Sproles is a border line Hall of Famer ...

Number 8 in all time All-Purpose yards.
He's surrounded by HOF players on the list.

Thanks for posting this, saves me having to...I think if you're in the top 10 all purpose yards equals HOF
