Next week is the very first time I will be 100 percent rooting for other team. Winning hurts us for no gain. And helps Dallass

Skip to the play at 40 seconds of the video and tell me he's not fast. 

 

It seems he's fast when he feels like it

Can’t rebuild the entire team in one year.

Keep Sanders, invest nearly all resources this year in to building an offense that can score.

If the D struggles, so be it.

If you can score points, you have a chance every year.

With a coach that can use players strengths and coach players up add a few pieces and we'll be fine.

Something I was pondering, let me explain the logic to it before you disagree.

The Eagles should shop Miles Sanders... if, I repeat if they can get a premium return for him.

The logic: RBs are replaceable, you can always find new ones. If you can use him one way or the other to fill a starting CB, OL, DE, WR, Safety them I think you should do it. This team is so many Fing needs, by the time the Eagles build a contender again, Sanders will likely be approaching a new contract, and very few RBs ever live up to that second contract. His trade value right now may never ever be higher. If you can get a high draft pick or young stud at a premium position for him I’d do it. Of not, totally fine with keeping him. I like him, just trying to think about building creatively.

If you can’t get something like that for him then I’m not giving him away.

That would pretty much always be my strategy. Draft RBs, make them look good, and then trade them away for more premium positions. I’d do it every few years if I could.

Nope

Eagles better send a copy of that to the League office and Smith should be fined and suspended and the suspension should carry over to next season as that's more than 1 game for that type of dirty hit.  I hope he rips up his ACL again for that.  POS. 

I had to re-watch it 3-4 times to see what he did because it happened so fast.  Yeah, Smith certainly looked like he snaps his neck forward, basically head butting Mailata.  That said, if the league didn't do anything about the Clowney hit on Wentz last season, I doubt they do anything about that one.

I don’t think it’s dramatic at all. I didn’t say my outlook for both is on same level, but there’s not that big of a gap between them going into year 2. I have more confidence for Reagor than JJAW, but my confidence level for Reagor isn’t that high. If you look at stats, Reagor has 20 more receptions, 212 more yards, and 1 more PR TD than JJAW rookie season, with 6 less games. I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt considering he’s played in fewer games, which isn’t exactly a positive right now, and shows more potential to be something. But there isn’t much to be encouraged by. Not trying to drag Reagor, as I said I still have faith in the guy, I’m Just trying to be honest and not be a homer.

 

EDIT: I’m comparing them at the end of their rookie seasons, not talking about present JJAW vs present Reagor. Don’t want that to get misunderstood

Nah, Reagor has shown quite a bit more than JJAW showed his rookie year, especially on film when he hasn't been targeted - the kid has been getting open.

He still has to learn to get comfortable with the game at the NFL level, learn the entire route tree, playbook, etc....but a full off-season of workouts, full camp and full pre-season should (in theory) help him develop substantially.  Next season will be the tell-tell with Reagor, imo.

For the same reasons you want to see what we can get, are the same reasons he likely wouldn't bring back much more than a 2nd round pick, maybe as low as a 3rd. 

Most NFL teams know they have an extremely high chance of drafting a sure-fire stud RB if they decide to use their 1st round pick for one....so in 2020, you will rarely, if ever, see a team give up a 1st round pick to trade for a RB.

Absolutely trade Miles Sanders if you can get a premium for him.  It would be madness not to.  

Why? You don't get rid of your young core talent in a rebuild. What would you want for him? Picks? Howie's proven he screws those up mostly anyway.

The only problem is no one gives up picks for RBs anymore.

The JJAW comparison is a little dramatic.  He showed more on the one return TD than JJ has shown in 2 years.  If this team can somehow solidify the OLine and get competent QB play, he will be fine.  He just wasn't automatic like we all wanted.

Was wide open for a TD yesterday and the pass wasn't even in his zip code. He needs work and hopefully he puts it in during the offseason, but good QB play/play calls that schemed him open this year and his stats would look much better

Yep.  The Chiefs have put that debate to rest over the last 4-5 seasons.

I think if Reagor had solid QB play all seaaon and had he not been injured, played a full 16 game season, etc he would easily have 600-700 yards this year with about 4-5 TD's.  Which would be a fine stat line for a rookie WR.

I'm still going to root for the Eagles to win.  But if for whatever reason, they decide to give more snaps/targets to some of the younger guys and end up coming up a little short, I probably won't be all that disappointed.

After 3 starts my impression of Jalen Hurts is he’s a really good #2 QB, but would be a very mediocre QB #1

Easy now.  How good did McNabb look after his first 3 NFL starts?  Very similar to Hurts, imo.  Showed tons of flashes/potential, showed incredible mobility/elusiveness but also showed some things he needed to work on.  3 games is nowhere near the sample size needed in order to gauge what a rookie QB could/will do in the NFL, imo.

I’d be fine with Reagor in the slot next season

You want to see fans have meltdowns?  Go ahead and start your 1st round pick in the slot next season.  I dare you.  

Since no one is happy here this morning i guess Doug hasn't been fired yet.

None of them got the benefit of free yards on an end of the half play vs prevent D. 

Woulda been a whole lot more too if Ward just seals his guy off.  3 other blockers out there for Reagor.

The Tankathon website has the Eagles selecting Gregory Rousseau with the #6 overall pick in their current mock.  I would be just livid if he were the pick at #6 

Don't sweat it.  The Eagles never do what those mock guys say they will do at this point/this early.

A few of those guys might eventually get it right but it's usually a week or so before the draft.

NY/DAL and WAS will be watching... and they know the pathetic Eagles fans will watch, because we can't look away.   That's bigger numbers than any of those others.

Silver lining.  Maybe Washington embarrasses the Eagles on National TV and Lurie is forced to watch again.

It's like a plane crash. You don't want to see but you just can't turn away.

Why? Helps Dallass and lower draft pick. I bet Jets fans are pissed off they won yesterday. 

If Lurie wants to get rid of Doug let's do it today. Why wait?

Why the hell are we a Sunday night game?
