Seems to be that the local media and fan base like the hire.

Congratulations to QBs... Sanders, Flacco and Hurts for making the pro bowl. An illustrious group and forever linked together for their 2025 performance.

Mannion honestly fits the Lurie/Howie deep dive hire does feel like a guy we are hiring early though before he becomes a hot name.

Wouldn’t shock me at all if he is in the house replacement for Siri if things go off the rails after 2027 and he gets fired and Hurts get traded…. It’s really will Siri survive Hurts

Considering who was available i don't understand why you want to hire someone who has failed elsewhere

Every good OC got his first job somewhere. Why not in Philly?

So same question. How would Siri get fired and not Mannion? How would Mannion succeed while Siri failed? If we do well,they both stay,if we suck,they both go, so how could Mannion take Siris job unless Siri retires?

Th offense could be trending in the right way but the team still doesn’t win games or we could just have pair of 8-9 win seasons of we aren’t terrible but we aren’t good either leading to a change.

I mean hell Sean McDermott just got fired in buffalo and replaced by his OC is it a slim possibility yes is it completely out of the realm of possibility though? I don’t think so.

I could see us double dipping on TE in the draft since we are losing 3 this year to FA

So the offense would have to "trend the right way", but we lose the same games we won the same way last year with the offense struggling? Isn't that why Patullo was fired?? And you'd need to pin all those losses directly on Siri. If we dropped off from the win total this year to 8-9,yet Siri is the same HC in both circumstances how could that be his fault? Now you add to THAT, that we could be losing players from this season replacing them with rooks or FA's and once again you'd need to pin the downturn directly on Siri to have Mannion replace him. I'm sure that is possible, about as possible as me hitting the lottery twice in a row. A pretty big reach. Only way I see Mannion replacing Siri is if Siri retired or Mannion and Fangio teamed up to bad mouth Siri to Lurie. If the team does well,then I suppose Mannion gets poached too

Yeah I said that earlier. Some nice blocking TE's LATE. IDK, I think we want a TE who could play 3 downs, although it's a weak class for that. Teaching blocking has gone by the wayside in college mostly, even the top TE's are only shaky at blocking skills. May be why the nearly extinct FB position is having a reprieve. I have looked at alot of TE's thus far, most are projects that need individual coaching, even the top ones. I'm looking at a guy like Royer who can be taken in a later round who from what I have read are improving blocking every year. Like Nowakowski from Indiana also, but none are ready to replace Goedert. Max Klare from OSU probably is the closest fit, still he needs blocking work. So I will make my guesses but I don't get the insider info the team gets. Will be watching this group closely at the combine for signs of significant/superior blocking skills although I'm not holding my breath. I thought last years class was weak also,but a few have proven me wrong

Someone(forgot who) posted the G from PSU Ioane at 23. He's been growing on me. He would be a guy who could stick for a decade. The weird thing I see is there are 4 positions of need right where we pick. G,OT,CB, EDGE. Any one of them would be a welcome addition. Ioane, Proctor, Terrell, Parker. You can run mocks with any of these taken at 23(and I have trust me LOL)

JMO that McDermott was fired because of 9 years and no SB's and they are trying to "get over the hump". Siri doesn't have that problem

Does everyone else see those 4 as the top draft candidates? I suppose you could add TE in there or if we got Becton back and replaced G with TE and took a G later. So many ways we can go here, like Does AJ get traded, and for WHAT maybe a 2 and a 3 pick?(or similar). I don't see AJ pulling in a round 1 pick. Anxious to see who we extend. Thoughts?

I see them unless we go WR but I like a few 2nd-3rd rd guys better than using a 1st on WR

Also could see Hood as the pick too. I think he fits us pretty good and is more physical than Terrell.

Reid got 14 years here without one

That would fix the RG spot for awhile, or do we bring back Becton? My round 1 guy should start, but Becton would prevent that,but we'll see what shakes out in awhile

Hood was the very fist guy on my mock LOL. Chris Johnson is another

Jalen Hurts in the Pro Bowl third time just going to crush it. Good times!

Josh Grizzard hired as Passing Game Coordinator.

How long wi it take Sean Mannion to get up to speed enough to take over as HC? That’s a very real possibility of where things are at with our franchise.

as the 5th alternate lol and your trying to hype him Up for it lol this is just getting sad now

Seems like real concern for Fangio could retire soon going to return for 2026 but who knows after that…. I’d be fine getting Schwartz back he is already unhappy with the Browns maybe add him as a D consultant for a year before taking over as DC after Vic retires

Shadeur Sanders is in the pro bowl. Enough said.

Out of 152 quarterbacks in NFL history to throw at least 100 touchdown passes, Hurts’ interception percentage – one every 53 attempts – is 7^th-best, behind only Rodgers (one every 71), Justin Herbert (one every 59), Tom Brady (one every 57), Joe Burrow (one every 55) Patrick Mahomes (one every 55) and Russell Wilson (one every 54).

So the big news going down behind the scenes was Fangio talked about walking away and retiring.
