That seems to point at Lurie being more involved than we want to think and sharing the blame. He feels too guilty to can Howie for processes he was involved in. We may have a Jerrah situation on our hands. That’s my big fear. Howie sucks regardless, but if Lurie has chosen to become our modern day Jerry Jones, Howie then becomes a still existent but much lesser problem.

philafan4o8 Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Howie: There are a lot of unknowns in this draft. Players missing games/season, no combine and other disrupters. Let me outsmart the league by getting a (maybe) 1st in 2022 that will be more valuable that a 2021 1st. Plus if hurts sucks we have more draft capital to trade up and draft Spencer Rattler next year. Howie outsmarts the league again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brady and the Patriots Fed up the curve so it’s impossible to really look at any kind of trends over that time period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QB room of Hurts/Brissett/Trask is a mix of young talent and experience in Siri's system. Our new QB coach was Trask's QB coach at Florida ... Johnson is credited for developing him. I can surely see there being interest if we don't go QB earlier and Trask is still sitting there at either 69 or 84 (pick from Indy). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kz! Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I just can't believe all the reports that the guy is a total a-hole. I'll be pulling for him to do well in Indy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason since then I don't live and die with the team anymore. It's a good thing because they seemed to become a joke of a franchise since then. I feel the same way. The latter Reid years sapped much of my passion, but it was mostly back by the time of the SB year, and like you I'm just happy to have gotten a chance to see them win it once. My passion for the sport more than just the Eagles has pretty much gone with the way they have emasculated the game itself, and with all the SJW stuff. Lurie keeping Roseman only added to it because much like when he refused to fire Reid the sad reality is that as long as Roseman is making the football decisions this mediocrity (or worse) will be the rule. Worst thing would be to settle into that 9-7, 8-8 type middle of the road area that keeps Roseman's job but provides no hope of being a real contender. Good enough to be "competitive" and keep Lurie's cash register ringing, but not close to championship contention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too ... starting in 2022. I want him to struggle in 2021 (but stay healthy and play the full season) so they miss the playoffs and we get a higher 1st rd pick in 2022.

A QB room of Hurts coupled with a vet like Taylor (he'd be my top choice) or Brissett (Foles if released by Chicago) and someone like Trask in the 3rd would be solid for 2021 and give us the year to get a more complete evaluation of Hurts.

I think Trask may be sitting there still at 84. Mocks have him anywhere from late 2nd to mid 4th. i love that too, im tired of taking qbs in the first round, it's time to use higher picks on receivers, tight ends, and running backs and take a qb in the second or third round, that way he has weapons around him to succeed and not forcing the qb to make the weapons around him better. alot of failed teams always forced the qb to make the receivers better.

It's almost guaranteed that we will have a pick early in the 1st and one near the bottom of the 1st. We likely won't have to package anything to get a top QB next year after "Tank for Tua" the sequel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He opted out at GA this year, ok I give him that, but did any of you see him play in the Senior Bowl? He was horrible! I mean it was embarrassing! One has to wonder what he did all fall, did he practice with a trainer or sit and watch football? I would go with Trask way over Newman. Trask is a baller and plays with heart and grit!

In my mind the only thing that can go wrong now is us drafting a QB at 6 or higher. If they like someone in this draft, letting Doug and Carson go for a new QB to come in and start fresh with Siri, may be the way they go. They did it with Doug and won the SB soon after. It depends on how they feel about Hurts, but a QB in the first should not be out of the question for Howie. Did they bench Wentz just because they were awful, or they already knew he wasn’t coming back and they had to see Hurts play to see if he’s the future?
