Do you liked Rosie’s draft that season if you take out that second round pick? It stunk. 

No because he took your boy Reagor instead of the top WR he should have, which everyone else knew except for you(and Howie)

If Brees didn't have talent and smarts he would have been out after his rookie contract

He had ‘it’ …..whatever all ‘it’ is. Great example of how the position is so much more than just a cannon for an arm.

Terrible draft if he didn’t strike that second round pick gold mine. Lord knows what we  would be up to trying to get a QB. Life would probably suck. We maybe force taking one if those busts that others tried to desperately draft too high.

See... I've been trying to tell you how Howie needs Hurts to be viewed ...well as you view him.  This was Howie outsmarted everyone.  He needs Hurts to be the guy.

He didn't save the draft he was handed the job when Wentz was forced out

So what guy is as the good pick? Taking out that second rounder.

If Hurts was a gold mine he would have gone in round 1. It was a head scratcher for me and everyone on earth-LUCK!!!! Howie got LUCKY!!!! And he spent his first years running gadget plays for something to do

Yeah...you need to read a defense and make the throw.    

Why this obsession about a cannon for an arm?

Nah...Howie outsmarted everyone.   Hurts is Howie's boy.    He even brought in his childhood friend as QB coach and then promoted him to OC.

Now he let Siri pick his guy... who isn't Hurts's boy and who isn't going to get us a 3rd round comp pick if he leaves. 

Another sign they stopped kissing Hurts ass.... Howie is back in favor now... he doesn't need Hurts anymore as perception is the roster built around Hurts is a very good one.   Perception from normal people who don't have a Hurts agenda

IDK I would be thrilled to keep making 45 yard throws all day long LOL. Hurts max is around 50,after that you are begging to be picked off

True,but you can't let your round 2 ride pine,so they had him play a few gadget plays. Reagor was a total bust when we could have had JJ

This makes for a great movie.

Heck yeah. Unbelievable achievement story. All happened by 25. I think he has some great chapters still to come for that movie. I just want to see him get that championship. Be nice if he earned an MVP too. Pretty much almost impossible for him to get it. He really had to fight and claw from nowhere to be in position for it in 2022. He had to be so far ahead of Mahomes…Allen and the other front runners. Lamar seems to have just struck in weak seasons with fabulous seasons. Otherwise they wouldn’t give it to him. It’s pretty much the Mahomes award to lose….but he didn’t deserve it last season. He had to learn and grow. AR had to really work hard to get him to become an accurate medium and short passer. They struggled while he struggled adjusting.

Here is a way to win... read the defense and make throws.  Not a complicated sport...as you so eloquently put.

Who has won more than Hurts? See you are missing what’s taking place right in front of your own eyes. Whats his record? He hasn’t been relying on a brilliant coach in AR or McVay. How often is anybody just schemed wide open? AR got two TDs in the SB just by scheme alone. Wide open.

No reasons for Hurts to fail now,this is a terrific team. If the defense goes from 31st to 20th we have no problem unless the O line completely goes off the rails

So how is it you see things as Hurts hasn’t won? What is your brilliant evidence supporting Hurts can’t win in the NFL?

12 wins,I see no reason to settle for less

And the WR's don't break their routes to find empty field to give him a window? Hurts does all that himself? Lesser WR's could not do it with the frequency ours do

No they weren’t. It was ridiculous how it seemed they just didn’t seem to break off on Hot Routes. Our O was so elementary. All we needed to beat those blitzes. Or just not always call long developing routes.

See... a huge reason I'm looking forward to this year.   You see how Ham looks at Hurts like a God.   A lot of talk about how the organization and the teammates didn't care for all this BS last year etc.    Some of his behavior being stand off ish... now you see Ham, " look at Hurts taking these guys under his wing etc"   

Perception was AJ was yelling at Hurts to give him the ball... he always said that wasn't the case.  Talk about how AJ and Siri had to be overboard with the rah rah stuff because Hurts was to quiet and to himself. 

Also getting rid of his boy as the OC and going with Siri’s guy.  

To me all positive stuff... and they always have the Wentz stuff to fall back on... to use as an example of you need to look in the mirror and understand you need to be one of the guys, not above them. 

2023 was the first step backwards for him....expectations were high and he didn't reach them. 

This is a great way to enter THIS YEAR.   Humility is a great thing. Especially playing sports in Philadelphia. 

How could expectations have been higher than 11 wins? I get maybe one playoff win. But it was clearly a lesser team from 2022. Terrible to lose the perfect QB coach for Hurts in Johnson. Exactly the right job for Johnson. Terrible to lose Steichen. He proved pretty dang clearly he was the valuable coach…over Siri. Should have promoted him and fired Siri.

I don’t think Hurts is a god at all. I actually find him so easy to root for because he overcomes some tough weaknesses. He works his butt off to achieve. Unstoppable willpower. But you got everything backwards. You are trying to alienate our teams leader. The major faults lie in the GM job. He screwed all that up. We should be doing everything we can for Hurts. Let’s try and succeed. Not play ego games where Rosie needs to prove to everybody he’s the boss. Get a top O coach. Not just some coach that only gets hired because he will be Rosie’s underling. Let’s hire the guy that knows football and can win.

20 best WR in a 32 team league... that puts him at a #1 for about half the league. 

I’ll give you that point. Well done sir. I didn’t really do my whole list to formulate the 20 ranking. But he’s somewhere around there.

Safe to say...2020 was a bust all around.   Injuries... OC by committee...etc.   just a disaster... that Howie needed to find something...because Doug and Wentz were out...only he was left.

Except the achievement of a title. The only achievement that ultimately counts.

You have been an Eagles fan since when? Vermeil ... Buddy?   

When do you recall 3 seasons of schedules from 2021 to 2023 with as easy of opponents?   

I think you are missing what's in front of you.

Well you get the local stuff I don't. I can only  read articles or watch vIds(if they are captioned which most are not),so I don't get the inside feeling you can get. I just seem to believe H0wie went "all in" again this year even if Ham isn't buying it. it's been 3 terrific drafts and Lurie wants something to show for it,that is just what I can see as an "outsider"

I really hope you’re right and I’m wrong. But I don’t know how you are seeing this as reality. We are a weaker team than 2022 and 2023. Teams really don’t like our depth. Got a Oline…and DBs. I think Shipley will work out. But LB is struggling. S depth isn’t there. Both starting S aren’t looking to durable too. I guess Maddox or DeJean maybe can handle things. Get Sidney back at some point. But he has a ways to go to develop. And he’s coming off a major injury which has kept him from doing all the crucial things he needs to be doing to better himself for year two.

Ok....Hurts is a leader...now can he work on being a QB.

He’s a heck of a QB. Best one our franchise has ever had.
