UK_EaglesFan89 Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 1 minute ago, Cochis_Calhoun said: The only reason I could think he'd have a press conference to announce he isn't retiring is because the media made such a hoohah that he was after the playoff loss, but yeah overall retirement is more likely. Be odd not seeing him out there week one in Brazil (can't believe I have to type that sentence about an Eagles game) I wouldn’t put anything past Kelce to be fair. He could be using this as an opportunity to have a little pop at those who previously announced his retirement. That’s the hope anyway… faint faint hope.

NOTW Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 Travis is in town for a charity event, because he's in Philly that's added to the reasoning Jason will retire and his brother will be there with him for the announcement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, the inevitable question, which I may set up a poll for... does Kelce merit a place on Eagles Rushmore? IMO yes. There was a topic I think last year that asked who are your top 4 on Eagles Mt. Rushmore. Many people said Kelce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Shiznit Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 One of the all-time great Eagles. Him, Peters and Lane were the three best offensive linemen in Eagles history. What a privilege it was to have them play at the same time. Enjoy retirement Jason, see you in Canton! 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Procus Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 I think the Eagles OL will actually improve next year. Yes, losing Kelce is huge - but there was a big hole at RG. With Jurgens moving to C, Eagles can now find a natural RG to plug into the slot. I think the team will be able to deal with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have new great linemen in Mailata and Dickerson. O line is the position they draft and develop the best. There will never be another Kelce, just like any legendary player. But we have to trust they chose Jurgens (Kelce was involved in that). People can't expect Jurgens to be great right away, give him time to settle into the role. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOTW Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 The portion about the fans needs to be shown to every new Philadelphia athlete, and every time the national media uses cliches about the fans boo and threw snowballs at Santa. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People can't expect Jurgens to be great right away, give him time to settle into the role. Cam had some injuries, but he played pretty well when he was out there. As long as he can stay healthy, I think he'll be just fine. Center is his natural position. On a side note, I'm going to miss Jason Kelce. Consummate pro and an all-time great. Next stop, Canton. 🥺 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted Andy for one more, I wanted Nick for one more (both stints), JP, and of course Jason. Probably A LOT more... but that DOES NOT include the Chipper! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may have been a good center in college but this is the NFL ... no guarantee that success carries over. Fingers crossed it does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkeye Posted March 4 Share Posted March 4 It's amazing the turnaround Kelce made in the eyes of Eagles fans. I'm old enough to remember when the primary theme of the old board was to bash Kelce and the Eagles for drafting him. It was brutal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
