It’s a painful list.

My concern with a new HC is that he’s just going to be Chip Kelly with SF, Pat Shurmur with the Giants...

Some retread hired to manage the team through their continued descent until they make another change in 1-2 years when they have a chance to bring in a new qb and new talent.

No one is going to come in here and win in 2021-2022.  Then we are going to have a coach with 2 years here, a .125 winning percentage, and a top 5 pick that will likely go to a new qb.  There will be enormous pressure to bring in ANOTHER new HC for the new qb.

Not from me.  I know how broken this is.  But, I'll need to see progress.  Losing is one thing.  Losing and getting worse is another.

We’ll be competing with them for #1 overall in 2022.  They have the inside track for sure.

Maybe we can help ourselves... we can trade them our top 3 picks from 2019 draft for their first round pick in 2022.  Dillard, Sanders and JJAW.   Douglas should love that deal.    Then we might have a better chance of getting the #1 overall.

We're currently 2pt underdogs against Washington. That means a few things

1) Alex Smith might not play
2) We're expected to try to win, instead of try to develop guys
3) It's unclear if we'll IR guys (Barnett, Cox, Mailata, Goedert, etc). 

If Cox or Goedert play this week, Lurie should immediately fire Doug/Howie. What are doing here?

So excited when Doug said after the Super Bowl win "this is the new norm" I mean I was kinda hoping for another win instead of a complete downward spiral.

I’d do the exact opposite. The cap situation in 2021 is already messed up so what’s a new GM going to do. I’d still get rid of the aging vets for 2022 draft assets but I’d keep Howie for one more year and fire Doug. Doug has shown 3 years in a row he can’t gameplan to a players strength’s.
 

Let’s see what a new coach can do with the young guys Howie has already brought in for one year. If it’s the same garbage then we fire Howie after 2021 and bring in a new GM who will then have the cap flexibility and good draft assets in 2022 to make moves. 
 

 

Trouble is Howie made this mess of the salary cap.  Leaving him in charge of it is like putting Cookie Monster in charge of bringing the cookies to the party.

Blame Doug. The rookie should have been out there getting the ball more often

I blame several things.  Doug's play calling, Wentz's decision making, QB switching, OL play, Reagor's injury.

But at least part of it is on Reagor too.  The athleticism is abundantly clear but he needs to work on his routes and has not demonstrated great field vision.  I think that's fixable but young buck needs to put in some work in the offseason.

That’s not the opposite, just a different route.

If you’d get rid of the vets for 2022 assets, then you wouldn’t be able to keep Howie.  No GM is going to unravel his investments for assets for his replacement to use in a year.  Howie, on the hot seat, is never going to make the 2021 team worse just for more 2022 picks.  
 

A HC, on the other hand...especially one as dumb as Doug...will just do his best to win with what scraps you give him.

Easier to hold over a coach for a meaningless year.

I would argue the Jets are in a better position than the Eagles next year in terms of the rebuild. They have a ton of cap space to add to the team. (I believe the most in the league). Going to get a new coach which can go either way. They have multiple first round picks due to the Adams trade. They have multiple third round picks. They’re going to get a third round compensatory pick from Robby Anderson. They’re going to have six picks in the first three rounds.

The Jets were realistically a Hail Mary away from having three wins which is only one less than what the Eagles have. Don’t get me wrong the Jets are awful but I could see them turning that around faster then what the Eagles rebuild is going to look like unless hurts or wentz are truly franchise QBs. They at least have a ton of draft capital and salary cap. The Eagles do not really have that

Thems fightin words

Best shot at a quick rebuild is to go all-in this upcoming draft at revamping the defense, specifically the back 7. As much talk of how putrid the offense has been, the defense has been equally as terrible. 

Hit on a safety, CB2, a gamechanger at LB, and suddenly their is a pulse again on that side of the ball.

The pieces on offense are young and should benefit from a normal offseason if the world ever gets back to normal. Still believe there is hope that out of Reagor, Fulgham, Watkins, and Hightower that at least two of them can step up in 2021. Maybe add another weapon in the mid rounds like an Amari Rodgers from Clemson. And pray to the injury Gods for mercy.

Stafford to the colts also makes a ton of sense. But from the article. 

"Maybe [Wentz] would rework his deal in order to facilitate a deal," an NFC exec said. "At this point, he might simply want out."

Another AFC exec believes the Eagles would be making a mistake not trying to convince Wentz they can salvage the relationship.

"I'm not convinced of the [Hurts] situation just yet," the AFC exec said. "Bailing on a franchise quarterback after one bad year is a bad look. Even really good quarterbacks have down times."

Have to be able to score 30+ points on offense to win consistently in the NFL.  Of the teams with 11+ wins, the Steelers are the only outlier this season; they’ve scored 30+ points only 3 times all season.  Packers have done it 11 times, Chiefs 9, Bills and Seahawks 8 times, Saints 7 times.

The Eagles are at 0.

Evidently that AFC exec doesn't realize like the experts in here that Wentz has only ever been good for one year.

You are going full strawman, and are unable to give me any legitimate reason that Cam Newton is getting coverage that is undeserved.

I could ask the same question about Taysom Hill.  Why does he get so much coverage ??  He is hot garbage as a QB, and not even that impressive as a gadget player.  

So instead of coming with a well thought out answer like this, @Ace Nova goes to the racism accusations.

That wasn't the topic.  I asked you repeatedly if you thought that the reason Cam was getting coverage is because he's African American.  And you basically said yes. 

So that means you are a racist. 

I gave you numerous opportunities to clarify your answer but you doubled  and tripled down on it, then tried to deflect the discussion and attempted to create a straw man argument by insisting that he didn't deserve coverage. 

No one said he deserved coverage but the reason he's getting it isn't because of his skin color.  So keep trying not to look like a racist but everyone saw what you wrote and everyone knows how you feel. 

I would wish you good luck in life because you certainly will need it but I don't wish good luck to ignorant racists.  See ya.

Nope.  Wentz is on a huge deal that has massive implications for the team going forward.

Cam is on a 1 million dollar deal, and is not even playing up to that.

This discussion has nothing to do with Wentz.  

Please tell me why a sub 500 QB on a 1 million dollar deal gets any coverage.  Do not bring up any other players, why is Cam getting any coverage, let alone like he is some kind of stud coverage.

The only acceptable answer for whitehoodmike is that the media wants to boost black QB’s.

All other answers are invalid lol.
