Still not sold on Hurts as a viable NFL QB, but can't pick against the Eagles.

Eagles 20

Girls 17

We all love Brandon Graham, but unless he's taking a steep discount, this is a terrible idea.

no brainer??  Love BG but the guy isn't worth an extension.  He hasn't had a sack in 7 weeks.

I think Derek Carr is pretty good. I think with a coach like McVay, Shanahan or Belichick he'd be a top 10 QB.

I think the Raiders are going to stupidly get rid of him in the offseason for Mariota or to draft some stiff and give Carr away to a coach who will coach him up, and he's going to look elite, and the Raiders will look like idiots.

Reminds me of some other team...

 

Boys lead all time 69-54

Would be nice to sweep this year for the first time in quite a while. 

Eagles might as well win the east. They sure as hell can't draft or develop the players they do draft.

That one play was more than he ever did here

 

He did have a long TD....you dont remember the backpack dance or whatever it was called? 😂

Only caught the last few minutes of last night game.  The ex-Eagle WR did well on that TD, showing speed and awareness to get open.  He was doing well with the Raiders.  Wonder why out coaches could not get him to perform at a high level when he was here. 

He did well 2 out of his 5 years here.  

My opinion is it was a mental thing.  He has the talent.  Same with Carson.  Some people just ain't built to play in this city and for this team.

Yup.

He's the best QB I've ever seen play, it's a crime he only has 1 SB.

This game is a perfect example why QBs should not have W-L records.  Tua I believe gets credit for a W but Fitz was the one that put them ahead and won the game.

And in fairness Carr doesn’t deserve a Loss for the Raiders buffoonery.

Because we’re a poorly coached team that is lead by a dope as a HC. People just want to put it all on Wentz.  But it’s a lot of players and issues.  You think Justin Jefferson would have the year he’s had if we drafted him instead of Reagor?   I sure as hell don’t.  

I wouldn’t have mind seeing him and Metcalf on our team though. Would’ve been a nice receiving duo.

The hope is that the next GM and coaching staff will be more effective at their jobs.

I really hate this.  They are choosing to water down the product on the field so they, the most lucrative sports league on the planet, can make even more revenue.  This will lead to expanded playoffs so they'll be like the NBA and NHL where half the teams make the post season.  In the near future the NFL will look more like Arena Football played outside on a bigger field.

I love Brandon Graham.  Loved him pre-draft, and have loved his emotion and leadership while he's been here.  It saddens me that they would need to move on from him because of the cap situation, but that's really where they are.  And thanks to Howie, there's a dead hit in 2022 if they don't.  Howie has mangled the salary cap so badly that it will take a full year of just biting the bullet on these bad contracts.  That can either be in 2021, or they can push it off to 2022... but there will be a reckoning for what Howie has wrought.

This is such a reactionary take. I’m sure when they expanded from 14 to 16 games people were saying the same thing. They expanded the playoff field this year and I don’t find it "watered down”. There’s an appetite for more games, the NFL as a business would be foolish not to capitalize on it

Eagles - 42

Cowboys - 24

Hurts has 500+ yards and 4+ TDs

NOT signing Graham to an extension is a no-brainer.

No Alex Smith today.  Can the WFT actually clinch the division with Haskins?

Given his leadership, keeping Graham on the roster for 2021 is an easy choice for me. That doesn't require an extension. I'd gladly pay him Curry money (2-4M a year) to stick around, but that's it.
