 Eagles fans: Carson is the worse QB in the league and a big whiny cry baby can't wait till he is gone he will never be any good!

Also eagles fans: only a 3rd and maybe a 1st!? Howie sucks! He got screwed Carson is way better then that! 

I’m actually with @UK_EaglesFan89 on this one. It’s kind of a good deal all around. All Carson basically has to do is stay healthy and the Eagles get a first round pick in 2022. I usually trash Howie, but I give him credit for squeezing a first out of the Colts basically. On top of that by 2022 this team will have two first, cap space and can rebuild. I’m good with it.

Like many are saying, 2021 is a throw away year anyway.  It doesn't matter who plays QB.

For once I agree with you.

They are not gonna take a 33 million dead cap hit to trade him.

My guess is that Carson will continue to be a professional and be respectful and not say anything bad in the media.  He didn't say anything "whiny" or "petulant" or anything in his post-game press conferences this year.  Doug said he handled it well.  Hurts said he was a good teammate and helped him on the sidelines.

There will continue to be reports and goosip and rumors.  But I would guess Carson makes a statement thanking Philadelphia and excited to get to work in Indianapolis.  It will have no drama.  People won't change their minds about anything regardless.  They'll say that's what he's supposed to say anyway.

The only drama will be in Philadelphia when the Colts are winning games and the Eagles are last in the NFC east.

Don't forget the 2022 likely first rounder. And guess what? That may well be more valuable because next year there should be a combine etc. This year is a little bit more of a crap shoot after a covid hit year. 

Look I agree this is a sad day. Carson was supposed to be THE GUY. It didn't work out that way though. 

The Colts may also win the Super Bowl, which makes the #1 in the "best guess" territory, especially with Howie picking.  

I guess one very  early in the round and one very late is better than the 2nd....barely.

Buck up bud. Even if your god were still here the Eagles were only winning 4 games in 2021 tops. Last year proved that. At least you don’t have to trash the whole team to defend you guy anymore. I’m sure you will just keep your ire focused just on Hurts. 

If he was my "god" I wouldn't be here angry and upset would I? No. I'd be on the Colts board whooping it up after my team screwed Howie with his pants on.

You are being to serious about this lol.

Well said. This year will be about seeing what you have in Hurts, developing some young guys at many positions Oline, WR, dbacks. Then next year you either go with Hurts or get a QB and load up and see what happens.

And hey I don't disagree there bud. I don't think Hurts is the answer but at least he'll get a fair shot. Or we think he will. But they got what they could given the situation. The biggest issue without doubt is that Howie, who created this mess, is still here. 

I don't give a crap if Hurts gets a fair shot or not.   I want the Eagles to put the best QB on the field.  If that is draft, trade, FA, or Hurts, I do not care.

I actually think the opposite.  Teams won't be swayed by workout warriors and will trust the film and actual in game production.  I love the combine, but it fools teams into thinking guys are more than the film shows.

You might be right but they can't meet with these guys face to face can they? And also some gems may be found through the combine due to their athleticism. Of course to counter that mistakes are also made for that same reason.

Let's see. Wentz helped this team big time to getting to a SB. He won us a division almost single handedly. Hurts isn't going to do either.

Not sure what your point is, but thanks for participating.

I'm good with it too, I was just making fun of some.of the instant reactions before it was fully detailed.

Well look I don't disagree with you there either. I want the Eagles to find their long term guy. I want them to rebuild this team and hopefully build an exciting roster. But Carson wasn't the long term answer either. Now I know you disagree with that and that's fine bud.

Yeah, sure seems like the players who all talk to each other heard he was a major issue with teammates and aren't looking to working with him at all.

More BS from Howie to get his way and throw him out of town. No coincidence that crap started the same year Howie blew a 2nd round pick on a QB. None at all.

No matter how you slice it 2021 is probably at best a seven win season. The Eagles are loaded with issues. They need talent which means they needed picks. They have nothing for cap space and that’s even if Wentz were here. I for one didn’t want to see another year of the same old stuff. 

I just can't wait for Howie and/or Lurie to trot out at a presser and say some stupid crap.   They need to say that they are part of the problem there or nothing changes going forward.

To be honest I don't care what the Colts players think about the move. I'm sure they are excited. I'm more interested to know how the Eagles players feel.

I wouldn't go as far to say everyone got what they wanted. Plenty of Eagles fans wanted Carson to turn things around in Philly.
