This argument doesn’t hold water. Mitchell was pick #22. DeJean was a 2nd rounder. Both weren’t "elite” talent in the draft two years ago otherwise they would have been drafted way earlier.

Besides them what "elite” talent has propped Parker up? Slay?

Toldeo hurt Quinyon more than anything IMO. DeJean was borderline 1st round but the broken leg hurt his stock. Elite may have been too strong of a word. I think Parker is getting more from less than Stoutland has.

I'd probably rank it:

1. Bears

2. Rams

3. Broncos

4. Bills

5. Patriots

6. 49ers

Bills or Texans. Hate the rest of the NFC teams. Sean Payton is a tool.

Maybe it would be cool to see the Patriots win so close to the end of their dynasty to stick it to BB and TB, but they don't need another SB. They have theirs.

I think that’s a bit of a stretch given Stoutland’s 13 year track record. This year’s oline struggles had way more to do with injuries (and not resting the injured players enough) than anything else.

Parker may be in the same mold of coaches as far as getting more from less, but I think it’s a rush to judgment to say he’s better at it than Stoutland.

Same.

I also thought, we would need a QB who can reach him.

Wasn't saying either of them are useless. I just feel like Stoutland has been put on this untouchable pedestal.

Show me a better OL coach

Ill wait

6. 49ers

1. 100% Bills. Their fans have never seen a champion and they're damn good fans. Plus I have a close friend whose family are die hard Bills fans, and her 11 year old son has a lot of health problems. If they don't win one soon, he'll never see it happen. Her father is also very old and won't see one if they don't win it this year or next. I just think about my father and how he never saw an Eagles Super Bowl, so I'm pulling for the Bills for her and her family.

2. Texans. Never won a Super Bowl, but really haven't been round that long.

3. Bears. I used to live in Chicago. Love that city, and have lots of Bears fan friends.

4. The rest. Couldn't care less after this point. I know the Chargers haven't won one, but nobody in LA cares and I really can't stand Harbugh.

Now that the Eagles are out, I’d like to see a Bears/Bills Super Bowl…with the Bills winning it. Josh Allen is a good dude…would like to see him get the monkey off his back

Seems like we're headed for a Rams Bills match up with the Rams repeating. I think they would've won it all last year if not for two incredible plays by Carter.

Here is a FA CB list. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/available/_/year/2026/position/cb

Any affordable potential upgrades for Adoree Jackson? Oddly, he is not on the list.

Keeping him actually seems like a good option.

But I wonder if bringing back Jobe could be a possibility. Or Rasul Douglas.

Maybe McCreary but thats probably more spendy.

Same goes for Newsome, Ibginoghene, Ya-Sin, Taylor-Britt...

Stout doesn't get enough criticism. Fans act like he's untouchabe

Bills in the AFC

Couldn't care less in the NFC

Texans in the AFC would be okay as well. Always liked Meco.

I honestly don't even know if I can watch any of these games. Losing to a banged up 49ers team in the Wild Card just has me so bitter about the ineptitude of our offense and our coaching staff - Patullo and Sirianni. This really is one of the biggest wastes of talent in Eagles history. .

Criticize away…that’s a different argument. I just think some people are looking to criticize anything that moves after a season like this.

‘Untouchable’ is one way of saying it. But I think it’s just a case of many people realizing that oline coach for the Eagles is probably the last area of the team that is in need of improvement

Not the 49ers. That’s all I care about.

It's frustrating but be thankful Jalen Carter made that play last year or we could have nothing. Talented teams lose every year and besides Q and Coop the 'talent' on this team wasn't so talented this year independent of bad coaching. JD and Baun were very good then it's a bunch of solid players mostly.

sportrac is predicting Nakobe Dean's market value to be 15M. That seems like a miscalculation for sure.

Reed Blankenship is 7M

Here is a safety list. Any upgrades to Blankenship? https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/available/_/year/2026/position/s

This always seemed like the fit

Good thing our QB has the best deep ball accuracy in the league!

Something I had never paid much attention to, but that 4th and 26 defensive call might have been the dumbest coverage call in the history of football. Four man rush with a fifth player near the LOS. A sixth defender is underneath. That left 5 players to cover downfield when the Eagles needed more than a quarter of the football field for a first down.

Now that our team is out of the running for SB and most of AFC usual powerhouses are out, I'd hope Bills make it this season. In seasons past, the Bills made it to SB 4 times and lost everyone of them. Allen is at the top of his game with good supporting players. This should be their year to go all the way!

I forgot Dawk's pick was on 1st down. It's one thing to throw an arm punt on 3rd down, but on 1st down in sudden death OT? Man, Favre made some absolute awful throws in his career.

Thats what think. Rams will beat anyone from afc i think. Bills seattle gives the bills a better chance

Buffalo deserves a title. Despite some bumps, the Rams have looked like the best team. Darnold could be a Jim Plunkett redux.

The Bears remind me of the Commanders last season. At some point they'll turn back into a pumpkin.
