i had jefferson rated ahead of Reagor, for the record, but in the same Tier.

Can someone explain why he was hired?

Where have his offenses been good?

He was in Baltimore with Lamar Jackson recently... so... yeah... that's what he brings.    (And I'd like to send it back)

I don't disagree with you. The play calling and game planning has been poor and simply not good enough. But Wentz also isn't good enough and what can this offense do when the QB has no accuracy, no consistency and turns the ball over at an alarmingly high rate?

That’s simply not true.  The three years before this one he threw 81 TD passes against 21 INT.  He’s never been prone to throwing INT before this season

I want a whole new direction.  I don't understand why people are saying they want Beinemy or Kafka.  We lived through the AR years now we have DP and we just know what that coaching tree looks like.  Just look at Matt Nagy.  Nothing new and exciting over there.

I just want a coach who can come in here look at the players he has and play to their strengths.  Sure, bring in their coaching philosophies and whatnot but walk in that door and look at Reagor, Fulgham, Goedert and Sanders then do whatever you can to maximize their talent.  No more of this interchangeable stuff.  

I don’t think you have to go in a completely new direction to get creativity and maximizing player strengths to their ability. I just don’t think Doug does a good job at that or when he does he figures it out way too late in the season.

Kafka and beinemy Might be able to do a reid offense but also have that creativity to know how to cater his offense to the personnel that he has. I don’t think a whole new change in philosophy is just going to bring you creativity and maximizing player strengths. You have to have someone who is innovative and creative mind to do that. Now if it’s Andy system or another system that to me doesn’t matter. But if you’re not going to maximize strength of players an adapt the offense to the personnel you have then you’re not gonna be very successful.  Like Andy’s offense might have some of the staple concepts he always had but he’s also learned to adapt to the personnel he has in KC.

It would ne nice to have a draft that people in here and on t.v. weren't saying wtf? when we pick.

If the Hurts pick had been anyone different, I think despite the record we would feel much differently about Howie.

It's a symptom of him trying to do to much. Both his Ints and Fumbles are from this. 

I wonder why he may be trying or feeling like he has to do more, like why does he feel like he has to play hero ball?

I've agreed with @4for4EaglesNest that Reagor was a reach. Reachlor I think he calls him

I don't think a new (or actual) OC would make any difference until Doug relinquishes the play calling. We have brought in 150,000 consultants and to what end? Where is the motion? Where is the misdirection? What is new? The Hurts package?

Maybe he needs an algorithm to make the play calls.  

Regarding the draft, not that my opinion matters but I thought Reagor and Jefferson were ranked about the same.  They are just 2 totally different players.  Reagor showed explosive potential, gamebreaking potential and is a rocked up bowling ball kind of guy.  Jefferson is leaner but man was he smooth at LSU.  It was just a matter of what kind of player you wanted to add to the team.  Howie gave away his plan to add speed speed speed.  The thing is, Jefferson has plenty of it too and is a more polished player.  Reagor had the excuse of crappy quarterback play whereas Jefferson had the Heisman winner throwing him the ball.

Reagor hasn't done anything wrong.  He's been hurt, the play calling is embarrassing and we're seeing the worst Carson Wentz of his career.  I'm not giving up on him yet but it just stings how yet again, the Eagles WR isn't doing a thing where other rookie WR are dominating.

I also find it funny how so many in the media were drooling over Howie and his ability to acquire 5th-7th round picks by "working his magic".  What has that done to help this team?  Let's praise Howie when he finally hits on a pick and doesn't draft projects in the top 3-4 rounds instead of impact players.

lets not forget trading away valuable mid round picks for stiffs like Tate and Avery

Sorry but I see "hops" in Reagor, I think he's going to be a hell of a receiver, that's another reason I'm really starting to question Doug.

so who should we hire as an OC? i dont want another Reid disciple 

Doug is too proud to give up being the OC so the only way to get a OC to replace him is to fire him. So your looking for a new coach before an OC. Could hire a OC minded coach or if we go DC he will want to hire his own OC.

Tate was a good trade, the mistake there was letting him walk and keeping the stiff Nelson.

I understand what you're saying.  I'm just ready to get out of the AR coaching tree.  I think it's clear now that 2017 was lightning in a bottle.  Every other year with an AR kind of team we are pulling our hair out in frustration.  It seems the same questions are asked over and over again.

I think we've picked enough fruit off that tree.  It's time to go to another orchard/forest and find someone who can inject new blood, new life in to this franchise.  We saw success with AR when he had Donovan and some with Vick.  DP goes us the Lombardi.  I just feel it's time for a whole new direction.

Possibly- but some of my other Howie issues are his reliance on older oft injured payers in crucial spots. Alshon, Djax, JP these were concerns of mine in 2018 - now, for good reason. 

I'll now add B Brooks to that list, that guy cannot stay healthy, and we should plan for life without him. Each offseason, we should have planned for life without these guys, not just one of them, all of them. It was an issue last year, and it still is this year! Once a player starts breaking down, it rarely gets better, more commonly gets worse.

I said this Sunday, our team cooperates with each other in sucking just at the right time for us to lose. Carson throws high one play, receivers drop balls on other plays, guards let their man through on another play, dumbarse doug sends in Hurts on yet another play. We are a total team loss team

And when we do actually manage to do something positive on Offense our D led by no imagination Jim is there to let us down to make up for it. 
Good times.

I’ll say this Russell Wilson had been trying to play hero ball over the last 3 weeks with his defense being atrocious and Carson out and he hasn’t look particularly awesome or like an MVP level. Without Carson and a consistent rushing attack over the last 3 weeks hes had 6 tds, 4 ints and 3 lost fumbles.

I think JJAW, Hurts and Davion Taylor have really just ruined Howie for most of us.

Hero ball accounts for some of the problems.  He also isn't processing things as quickly as he should.  I keep thinking about the 4th and 3 play against Dallas. Ward should have been the hot read because pressure was coming from the MLB spot right where Ward's route was headed.  It wasn't a hard throw to make but it required a quick decision.   Wentz totally missed it. He just didn't react to the pressure in the right way and took a sack/fumble.  It wasn't hero ball but a lack of processing the field in front of him.  He didn't. I think an above average QB makes that throw.  A top 5-10 QB makes that throw look easy.  Wentz has had too many plays like that this season.

Everyone but Eagles fans and Howie knew Reagor was a reach lol. Esp when Jefferson was there with our pick. 

Hell the commish never even announced our pick before the Vikings picked Jefferson. They were laughing at us the entire time. .........................I was crying and screaming at the TV. 

You guys can all complain all you want about "dumping everyone and starting over" but there's about a 0% chance of that happening.  So you can either be miserable for the next year and a half or you can figure out how to make this team better with what we have.

Wentz was the "franchise QB" and 90% of the fans, including this blog, wanted him here no matter what.  Well, he will be here until at least the end of 2021.  I hope he turns it around because nothing major is going to change in terms of management, coaching etc. 

If they make a change,. it will be with the QB first, then down down the line.  They will give Pederson every chance they can to continue to prove himself.  Wentz' leash is shorter than Pederson's at this point.

Pretty tired of hearing the "let’s trade back” stuff too. How about drafting a good player and most importantly Developing players.
