Ryan Mathews lead the Eagles in rushing touchdowns during the 2016 season with eight. No one will complain about that, but the issues with Mathews have been he has a problem staying healthy and has a hard time protecting the ball.

Mathews has only played all 16 games once in his career, and that was three years ago in 2013 when he played with the San Diego Chargers. As an Eagle, Mathews has six fumbles (five of them lost), and for his career, he’s had 21 fumbles and has lost 13 of those.

The Eagles need to obtain a more reliable tailback if they want to have a well balanced offense.
