Tuesday at 03:39 PM2 days Something I was curious about… An NFC team hasn’t won a Super Bowl with the QB they drafted in the first round since the Giants won with Eli Manning in 2011. Could be missing someone but I don’t think so… Hurts went round 2, Stafford was traded to the Rams, Eagles probably still win if Wentz doesn’t get hurt, Panthers with Newton and the Falcons with Ryan both lost, Brady obviously was neither a first rounder nor drafted by the Bucs… The way the league is shaping out, you can definitely win with "pretty good” QB play. Just 3 years ago it felt like you needed an All-Pro level QB just to have a shot. If I’m the Raiders and there’s a team offering the farm to trade up for Mendoza, I’m certainly considering it.

Oh wow, the all knowing blog wrong again.Please identify those miscreants, for I and many others said nothing of the sort about Reich.

And he did win a Super Bowl so he earned being overpaid.I'm going to make 2 separate points here.I think the league should really look at a new trend of not paying high contracts to QBs before they're proven. If a team can make the SB with Sam Darnold and Drake Maye, then it shows you can have a strong roster with good coaching and don't need a top elite QB. I think the Eagles are a great team to do this model. Howie is cemented at GM and has ultimate job security. He's built 2 Super Bowl winning teams with different coaches and mostly different roster. He's currently built a great defense and they have Fangio who won't be leaving. It's the perfect situation to not have to allocate big money to the QB. You have a rookie contract guy and a recycled guy like some of these teams have and the best player plays. Or for injury, you're not dealing with a huge drop off in talent. Almost like it's a system and plug and play QB. If a QB proves they are elite and worth it, then they get paid.QB contracts have become increasingly insane over the years. Teams have been afraid to fail at drafting the next great QB so they overpaid average QBs. This was from the era that had a lot of great QBs in the early 2000s. Brady, both Mannings, Big Ben, Brees, Rivers, McNabb, Flacco, etc. There were 2nd tier guys then who today would be among the best because QBs aren't what they used to be. And teams don't have patience to develop a guy for 2-3 years. Is Jalen Hurts overpaid in the current market? You can make an argument for performance and output compared to some of the guys lower on the list than Hurts, but you see Kyler Murray is at $230.5m, DeShaun Watson $230m, Tua $212m. Guys that haven't won anything and are a waste of money. These make the case for the above, don't give big contracts to guys that haven't proven they deserve top money. Teams should let go of the fear of not finding a replacement, let some other team overpay and sign/draft cheaper options. Moneyball concept. Then you have a team like the Bengals with Burrow being wasted. It shows that having a top QB isn't all there is, you need a strong O line and good balance on the roster. Howie tends to think about where trends are headed. He's built a solid roster that won a championship and needs to keep the core of the defense together. Invest in O line. Continue to rotate RBs. And I would think when the time comes that it's feasible to move on from Hurts he will, and recognize that teams are winning in the playoffs with QBs on rookie or cheaper deals. And QBs like Burrow and Allen haven't won. There's a real opportunity there to win more championships with great defense, O line and run game and a cheaper option at QB. Then you have money to secure stud defensive players and when needed, sign a WR or TE in free agency for a proven weapon. Could be a new model.
Tuesday at 03:49 PM2 days There's like 15 legitimate starting QBs in the NFL right now and the rest are skanks. You better be sure you secure one before you make any other plans. There is no obvious case to be made for Tanner as an heir apparent at this point. Build around Hurts and his strengths and we're right back in the big dance. Don't get too cute this offseason. Tweak and add depth to what you have. And reassess next offseason. Which is why I see them playing it safe with a proven vet type of OC. They tried the unproven type last year. He will have a proven track record in the NFL as a successful OC.

He's greener than DoyleIf we had a HC with a plan on offense, you can hire a young up and coming coach who's never called plays and that may work out. But this team needs someone with experience calling plays.

He was bad with game management. He blamed players. He is firing or reassigning half his coaching staff. The roster stinks (not exactly his fault). The team quit down the stretch. Other than that it was promising.

Yet was no leak that they did or tried too. Add-on Zach Berman today said the Eagles had no real interest in making him the OC (sound of it didn’t even talk to him).

Tuesday at 04:12 PM2 days Was just gonna post this while listening to yesterday’s PHLY podcast and Bo beat me to the punch. Hiring someone other than maybe Daboll that they were linked to a week ago would definitely feel like the team settled on a candidate.
Tuesday at 04:14 PM2 days I still don't think they will hire Mannion. Would be a first time play caller, has very little experience. Would make this process seem pretty amateurish. Especially since there are more intriguing first time play caller names that didn't even get to second interviews.

You can't fire him but you can trade his ass. Jeff doesn't have the balls to do that though.
Tuesday at 04:18 PM2 days The Packers’ OC is interviewing for an OC job I believe with Miami. Mannion could be next in line in GB.
