Do y’all think Jerry sticks with Dalton or makes a trades for/signs a different starter?

Lets go heat

What does Alshon coming back any week now mean for Fulgham? I don't know how you can take him off the field with the past couple games he's had. Even though they're technically still in the division, it's at the point where I want them to start some of the younger guys over the aging ones who can't stay on the field. More Fulgham, Hightower, Goedert over Ertz, and even get Taylor in the game at linebacker over Gerry. It's not a tanking approach when these guys are out-playing their counterparts. 

At this point Alshon is behind Fulgham, Ward, and DJax. When Reagor is back he will be behind all 4.

Maybe he’s used in Redzone packages and short yardage but I doubt he’s starting. He’s also likely very out of shape.

How do they decided who picks #1 if two teams go 0-16? Strength of schedule or coin flip?

Coin flip is the last resort, so SOS would come before. 

Compound fracture for Dak is what is reported 

 

It really is amazing how stupid lifelong NFL coaches can be.

Does strength of schedule work in reverse for draft picks as it does for playoff seeding?

For example, shouldn't the team with the easier schedule get the better pick, being that if they can't beat weaker teams that means they deserve a higher pick?

In the playoffs it's different, tougher schedule gets the nod for the playoffs I'm not sure if they do it in reverse for draft picks.

Yes I believe they do. Lower SOS has the higher pick.

Dalton

the question is how they deal with a Dak contract now

I wonder if the Eagles try to find some mystery injury to IR Alshon.  I don't know.  They aren't going to cut JJAW.  They can't cut Alshon or DJack.  You can't take Fulgham or Ward off the field.  Reagor is hopefully back soon.  

I honestly wonder if Watkins or Hightower get released.  I honestly don't see anything in either of them.  I know we only saw a glimpse of Watkins today but these 2 guys are known for their speed.  IMO Fulgham already has shown a faster game speed than Hightower.  Hightower and Watkins both seem pedestrian with their speed in game.  

They are stuck with 17 and 10.  You just can't eat those contracts.  I think they are going to be stubborn with 19.  

84 and 13 are the only ones making plays.  That's 5 WR right there.  82 or 80 will be gone.

It would be the height of myopia to cut bait on Hightower or Watkins to accommodate washed up has-beens like Alshon and DJax.  Hopefully the front office isn't that stupid and self interested, but I have my doubts.

Whatever they do at WR, I'm very confident it will end up being the wrong decision.

If you get an injury that prevents you from playing the next season while on a franchise tag, are you protected at all financially?

Well with this division I think we know who gets that if Jets and Giants tie.

Good point.

Let's hope that they don't make them play a game.

Hard to say, especially if he suffers any setback or infections

The problem is the Eagles did this to themselves with the contracts they gave to both Alshon and DJax.  Either you keep 7 WR and continually not dress 2 of them wasting 2 roster spots or you cut bait on a late round draft pick.  I agree, both Alshon and DJack can kick rocks but they are here like it or not based on what their dead cap numbers are.  

However, let's not act like Hightower or Watkins are some kind of saviors.  They don't look fast.  They look more JAGish than Ward does and I'm a huge Ward fan.

ouch. I was guessing it was dislocated. Didnt see any blood on the sock. 

So the Irrigation and Debridement is being done, not because his limb is in immediate danger. Its to help prevent infection due to the open wound. 

Is it ok to tell Cowboys fans that Dak is injury prone now?

I’m not sure it’s wasting roster spots. When you compare it to every every linebacker on our roster it’s a solid decision.
