Lost in everything is this

I'm not saying we would of made the right pick. Or even a worse pick. 

But if my options were winning a preseason game and getting just 1 pick higher, i take it every day of the week. 

Minus Wentz and Cox, we have gotten more out of second round picks than first.  Do you think picking one slot higher would have changed that.

On top of that, teams that continually draft in the top 10 never seem to get better.  Winning games is priority one towards building a winner.

So confused by this.

you admit that they did it and it didnt work out well(I agree)

then you say it's ridiculous to think a team would do it. 

Yeah and I’m confused on how a Steelers fan won’t go to their message board. 
 

The Sixers went into a few seasons in row of knowing they wouldn’t be good but at no point was there ever going to be a "let’s make sure to lose these last few games to improve our place in the lottery” that’s just dumb. 

The Cowboys want fans.

But that's not the choice.  Players and coaches are playing regular season games that are meaningless in order to keep their jobs.  It's what makes the League good.

Eagles coulda had the #2 overall pick but they won that meaningless game and dropped all the way to #20. Idiots!!!

Not sure Belichick has to tank. With all the guys he had declining to play that’s going to hurt them and I just don’t think they’re that talented on offense. Sanu, edelman and harry isn’t a great trio. And i believe sanu is on Pup currently. Their weapons aren’t very good. Oline is solid.  Their defense is still good is good enough to likely win them 6 games. I’m betting they go 7-9 or 8-8. 

They are also playing in the weakest division in the NFL.  I know people expect the Jets and Dolphins to be better but it's not like either team has an established starting QB or dominant defense.  Even the Bills have a big question mark in Allen.  I mean the Patriots still have the best QB in the Division.  I could easily see them going 9-7 and eeking into the playoffs.

But I'll say it again. *FOR SOME REASON* If the Eagles are  3-10 going into weeks, 14, 15, 16, I'm saying a nice little prayer to 8lb 6oz baby jesus that the Eagles lose.

When tanking a season for draft selection goes horribly wrong

Just once..... I want the eagles to officially be crowned Offseason Champions. 

Don't you remember 2011? It was the greatest offseason in the team's history.  I mean aside from the draft.

Not going after Free Agents, not signing players. Not resigning players, trading away talent... Thats tanking. 

Did they say "go out there and miss a shot on purpose" of course not. Did they field a high school JV team so they wouldnt win often, absolutely

You literally said you wanted the Eagles to lose week 15, 16, and 17....

They wanted to tank so bad they drew up a pass from the kicker to punter. Could have been the other way around

Us beating the Giants in a meaningless game pushed us back 8-10 spots. 

People thinking that a preseason win is more important then 10 picks in a draft is mind blowing to me. 

Beasley had 5 sacks in 2017 and was a non factor in the playoff game against the eagles. A game as you know the eagles won.

Seems it all worked out in the end but again fail to see what that has to do with beasley or agholor as neither were in that corresponding draft.?

Agreed. 40,000 or 80,000.

Does it really matter at that point.

At this point in their careers I’d take josh allen over cam. I don’t know what cam newton is anymore. That shoulder might be completely deteriorated to the point where he’s shot and they go with the original plan Of stidham which imo they’d have the worst QB in the division at that point. Also if they struggling at first i could see belichick pulling cam going with stidham

But if the Eagles had tanked for a higher draft pick and the Falcons had to play someone else, Beasley may have played better in the playoffs.

Sounds like natural selection to me.

You're moving the goal post on me...

1) you said no one would tank. Yes, the 6ers didnt tank. 

2) yes, If the Eagles are mathematically out of playoff contention I want them to lose every game possible to get a better pick

3) The Dolphins are gonna Dolphin. The Maimi fans we're furious about them beating us, and the Patriots. PISSED 

I’m going to try one more time then I’m done with you. There’s difference between going into a season knowing you probably won’t be good and wanting to lose a few games just to improve draft stock. 
 

You’re so out there That you actually got downundermike and I agreeing on something.

Crazy.  What happens if Ward disappoints?  Struggles to get open because he's got film on him.  Drops a couple key 3rd down throws.

Behind him is JJAW, a healthy Desean who was never going to be a volume guy, and a couple rookies.  Carson can build trust in these guys all he wants in practice, but when Washington takes Ertz away, who's stepping up?  How will it look?

It is just going to be odd.  As a fanbase, we are going to be seeing so many new things in this game. 

The GDT will be insane.

Cam Newton may(should) go down as one of the most over rated QB's of all time

Don’t disagree. However I’d take him at his apex over josh allen. Now not so much. Frankly i think darnold is the best QB in that division but their oline hasn’t been good and he has minimal weapons imo outside of bell (who isn’t the same player he was with Pittsburgh) and crowder 

like if you put darnold on New England With belichick i believe easily they go 10-6 and maybe even better. 

Cam Newton's 2015 season is one of the greatest of all-time. He's a top 5 QB of the 2010s.

The timeline is off. The eagles went 10-6 the year agholor and beasly were drafted and 10-6 the year prior so not sure why theyre being mention when the eagles won their last few games after kelly was fired and shurmer was interim and the following draft wentz was drafted at number 2. What the heck does any of that have to do with agholor or beasly???
