I guess i should feel happy about the Eagle's 1st round, I haven't seen a single Titans game in years and knew nothing about Davis, but everyone seems hyped up so yay. Seems like a decent low-expectation, playing with house money kind of season for us with Hurts and the potential of drafting his replacement next year if necessary. How bad is AJ Brown's injury history? His numbers seem good but not extraordinary, but he's super young so people are expecting him to still have a big upside right? Do the Eagles stand a good chance at plugging their remaining holes on defense with their remaining picks? I'm assuming they're going to hedge a lot on undrafted FAs.

euphronius posted:His numbers are good lol Can you elaborate a bit? His total yards don't pop out (he's never been top 10 or anything yet). His rookie Y/R was great, but has been worse since. His TD receptions have been good. I'm open to him being an amazing pick-up, but the numbers don't really tell much of a story--I guess I just can't parse what makes him stand-out. I'll probably look into deeper video analysis later.

BiggerBoat posted:For starters, he's young and brings a resume better than anything the Eagles currently have on their roster. Playing for a run oriented team with Ryan Tannehill tossing him the ball. He's probably better than any WR who was left on the board at 18. Personally, I would have liked to see the Birds take a similar angle for Deebo Samuel - who I think would be an excellent fit here - but that pick trade with SF probably wouldn't have done it. Maybe it would have since SF didn't have a first rounder? Appreciate ya, yeah makes sense. For clarity i wasn't being critical of the trade or him, but it was a fairly expensive trade and contract. The context helps a lot.

Yeah I like Hurts and hope he does well, but unless he makes a big jump with his arm, I think the Eagles taking a QB next year is drat near inevitable. Even if he has a good record and leads them to a few playoff Ws, the incentive to draft a potential elite QB on a cheap contract for another 5 years is really high and I'd doubt they'd want to pay Hurts big money to be a better Tebow. And chances are, they'd either keep Hurts as a transitional QB or decent trade bait for a team looking for some stability.

BiggerBoat posted:I think he's already established his absolute floor as at least a top tier backup, spot starter and a bridge for a team that's rebuilding (which is kind of what he seems to be now but the hope is he continues to improve). I can think of a lot of teams right now where he'd be a better option than their starter. Dude seems to work hard and from all accounts is well liked and respected in the locker room. I doubt he'd accept a backup role to stay with Philly if they look to move on.

Depends on if your expectation is Super Bowl or bust. I'm just hoping for a good, exciting season, and maybe a fun playoff run but I don't believe the Eagles are going to be championship contenders for at least 2 years. And I'm ok with that. It's a young, up and coming team and that's pretty great. If Hurts is just decent, he'll give us some flexibility. The team is pretty well set up for the future anyway.

Maybe the Eagles really should contact Foles or any other decently proven QB. This team is giving similar vibes to that 2017 one that didn't get much buzz going into the season, but basically looked like a really solid team top to bottom. Replace Hurts with any of the top 10 QBs and this team would be favorites. They still have a chance with him, but drat, it feels like an opportune year.

Forget the top ten QB, my point is more that the Eagles look like they're a steady pocket passer away from being top contenders in the NFC. I'm generally fine with Hurts, but this was looking like another year of the up and up on a rebuild. A few months of good moves later and the team is looking like they could have a legit shot now. Anyway, I won't be mad if they stay the course, the team looks like it'll be strong for years to come, regardless of this season. iamsosmrt fucked around with this message at 18:49 on May 18, 2022 |

Doltos posted:His stance rubber bands hard between wide and keeping his legs way too close together. Makes his accuracy a crap shoot. He needs to shorten up his steps on the drop back so he doesn't have to swing his wide stance up to do that little knock knee passing he does. I really do feel sorry for Philly WRs. I don't think their busts are that bad. There's so many lovely passes whenever I watch Hurts that it really reinforces how good Quez and DeVonta were for them last year. Constantly having to come back on routes as Hurts dances in the backfield, constant crappy ducks way out of the route. Would throw them into contested situations all the time. I basically agree with this. Heck, I think everyone here is in consensus that his arm is bad. The general disagreement is whether he can improve and/or whether the team's upgrades will either carry him or outright make his flaws irrelevant. Many people have their doubts. Like in a vacuum, he's better than Foles (and I'm not attached to the idea of getting him) but the team is now built to give even a mediocre passing QB a great shot. Hurts' legs can probably carry a bad team to 7-9 wins in a weak division, it's whether they'll matter much for this team if he still can't throw a decent football. I predict he'll end up leading them to 10-12 Ws with unremarkable passing behind a strong team effort and have his replacement drafted next year. Then if we're lucky, the Jaguars or whomever else looking to just improve will trade for him to bring them up to mediocrity.

I'm hoping worst case scenario Hurts maintains his running, leads a fun playoff push and brings back a decent draft haul from a team desperate for any QBs. It's not unheard of for a bad team with a shaky wr corps to try for some relevance with a Mobile QB.

I wonder how much slack the Eagles will give Hurts, but with the way that team is built, I wouldn't be shocked if they go to Minshew within 3 bad games. Then again, injuries and whatnot happen so it'll be interesting to see how things play out. But it's hard to say Hurts could be the biggest disappointment considering like half of all people are seemingly expecting his arm/vision to be a disaster. Dak has got to have the biggest expectations and thus the highest chance to disappoint though.

Not concerned and not overly concerned is actually a big difference. Those Commanders are acknowledging it, they probably also realize their organization is a huge poo poo show and they shouldn't overly focus on one obvious but unaddressable problem. Like in fairness, what can they do? He is what he is, and they've gone too far to simply bench him.

Some athletes do heal faster than others, though I don't think we've had the scientific studies to show exactly how and why such things happen. Otherwise, they should do everything they can to study and use Giannis' DNA to advance the entire human race.

Hurts appears to be throwing more accurate passes to me, but having better weapons and a stronger o-line would certainly help all around, including giving a guy more confidence to throw surer passes. I think it'll be clearer about halfway through the season, assuming they ever fall behind in a game and he's actually being tested. Thus far, building up big leads makes it hard to gauge since the team seems to be taking their feet off the gas a bit in the second halves.

Reid was decent at talent evaluation, but he had one of the worst draft picks in NFL history in Danny Watkins and among other things it was clear his connection with the players and the team was wanting in his last few seasons. I'm glad he found his way on the Chiefs and legitimized himself as a HoF game. Besides, even his Chiefs tenure had a lot of influence on the Eagles team that won the SB. And also, it's true, the NFL ended with SBLII, perfect storyline. Hell, it was one of the last bright spots before the world ended in 2020.

So what's the deal with the Cardinals? Why are people discounting then so much this season? Just curious since the unbeaten Eagles are flying there this week and people seem to assume it's an easy W. Main thing I know of them is we traded Ertz to them to give him a chance on a contender and they seemed to fall apart as the season wound down.

Thank you Wentz for being unreliable It helped that Wentz has often acted like an unaccountable headcase during and since his final season with the birds. He's an easy guy to dislike from a fan perspective. It amplifies the negative impact of his heroball failures.
