They were actually great at run blocking until parker ehinger went down in late October. Ware, who averaging something like 4-5ypc, then averaged something like 2.9ypc for the month of November and didn't get much better the rest of the year.

I missed Benoit's second tweet of better backups, which has Derek Anderson, Foles, Mallett, Barkley, Landry Jones, Matt Cassel...

Derek loving Anderson? 2017 Matt Cassel? Landry Jones in any world?

Sounds like a classic Ravens #1 receiver. I bet we get him

If we do I bet he gets 65 catches, 830 yards, 5 TD assuming all games played.

edit: Forgot we had Mike Wallace also. I really lose my edge in these offseasons.

Did you see his loving reasoning? He says while Kaep is a better athlete than almost all of those guys, he isn't a good QB and doesn't fit into a system. I must have missed the part last year where Brock Osweiler fit anything resembling an offense. The dude set RECORDS for how bad he was and this shitbird is seriously saying he is a better QB than Kaep. How do these people get and keep their jobs?

That alone doesn't explain it. Foles year with better than Manning numbers is a crazy outlier no matter how you slice it.

Sure, but I think it was just a serious of fortuitous circumstances in that Chip was an unknown that teams took a bit of time to adjust to, Foles got lucky on his 50/50 balls, and DeSean Jackson is a pretty good receiver. 2014, Foles got injured halfway through, but was worse without DeSean (and I think some other injuries?, I can't remember), but Mark Sanchez looked closer to an NFL player then he had in years.

2015 wasn't great for anyone involved, but he got an average starter year out of Bradford, then got about as much as you could get from a QB like Kaepernick in that utterly devoid offense the 49ers had last year.

That 2013 Foles years was a crazy outlier, but I think he could've been like, I dunno, Matt Schaub good if Chip Kelly didn't go all Chip Kelly on the Eagles roster.

My friend lived in some ridiculously overpriced apartment complex in Philly that had a movie room/theater hooked up with cable. For that game we reserved it, got super drunk, fried up wings, and watched history happen. One of my favorite Philadelphia memories.

If they were saying reasonable poo poo they wouldn't be getting attention for it. Many sports "analysts" are just professional trolls who can write and speak well enough to seem like they genuinely believe the bullshit they put out. A dumbass with strong opinions makes stories people want to read and talk about even if it is only to point out how stupid they are.

the funny thing to me is that Reid used to be the opposite with o-linemen. Mind you, I was just a kid in the early 2000s, but I distinctly remember that his early Eagles teams used to have absolutely huge offensive linemen. Dudes like Jon Runyan, Tra Thomas, Shawn Andrews were like 330+ lbs; I mean all of them were basically houses. So it's kinda amusing he changed so drastically since.
