I was surprised when they went with Howell over him. Was he bas this preseason? Bad reports out of camp?

He actually improved a lot...it was a very close competition. He is a better athlete imo, he still needs to work on the finesse of his passes, processing made great strides, he just occasionally fires fastballs when a change up works.

Id be slightly excited about Blue if we get some of the fancy RB passes we were seeing in pre-season back.

Blue is a disappointment

I could see Shipley going on IR if Hurts’ timeline is still murky.

Idk why they haven't put Shipley on IR yet

Just thought I'd share a little bit of my latest journey in life. I'm an alcoholic. Have been for the past 20+ years, and probably my whole life if I think about it.

That said, I'm currently sitting in a shuttle van heading to an AA meeting in Springfield, IL. I've been in a treatment facility since 28 August.

After 8 years, 2 months, and 4 days of sobriety, I relapsed earlier this summer. And when I say relapsed, I mean relapsed HARD. Almost a week-long bender, time I can barely remember that I'll never get back.

I've learned a lot about myself over the past 53 days, and I'm rejuvenated and eager to resume my recovery.

I'm not sure why I felt the need to share this. I guess I just want to pat myself on the back, figuratively. But I also want to say if anyone here is struggling with substance abuse, or just struggling with life in general, there's always hope. Don't give up.

Also, I'm on here quite often, so if any of you ever feel like chatting about addiction--or really anything at all--don't hesitate to hit me up.

That's all--GO BIRDS

You got this brother. 👍

No. Fans overrated him in the draft. I was never a fan.

But I know if you can get him the ball in space he has great acceleration to make an explosive play.

I would never hand him the ball, but Id try giving him some passes.

No one has ever said those things about Hurts. Ever.

Just that he works hard and squats a lot of weight.

Nice to hear QB compliments about a QB for once. Good start to the Tanner_Era.

Nah…it’s the ColeP_Era

So how well does McKee have to play or else the fanbase calls for Payton?

I already am…McKee sucks!!! I hate QB1

Roster decisions will be very interesting.

• We need to make room for Milton, and then potentially the guys coming off IR. I think Shipley is clearly going to IR, so let's say Milton takes that spot.

• If they activate Dickerson, I guess they could cut Majors, but they only have 8 OL in that scenario on the 53 (Mailata, Dickerson, Kendall, Steen, Bell, Fred, Lampkin, Morris). That seems light with guys banged up (LD, Kendall, Steen and Fred all on the injury report). Maybe someone like Hollywood is a surprise cut? Or is Michael Carter going to IR?

• If they activate one of the TEs, then I'm guessing Jenkins is released.

• Other IR Candidates - Hurts, Hunt

One more - Ertz is out of elevations. Do we add him to the 53? That would likely mean Jenkins is gone. I'm not sure Ertz has done enough to be elevated to the 53, but he's a franchise icon, so not sure how Howie handles it.

Payton shouldn't see the field for a couple of years. He can run around but his passing needs a lot of work -- ideally not on Sundays.

If McKee had to miss any time, I think it'd be more advisable to unbox Jimmy G from some attic than to hinder the development of your developmental QB prospect.

WHAT?! Did you not see the confidence and poise he had continually throwing into double and triple coverage in PS? Putting a ball in places that only the ground or defender could catch it? Or him heroically staging a comeback with his legs only for the D to not make enough plays and let him get his hard earned victory?

No need for a roster spot until they acquired Milton today.

Parker is gonna be a one year coach for Dallas, that bridge is already burned. He'll be back in Philly next year.

I think it's awesome (and incredibly courageous) you feel comfortable enough to share something so personal here with us. I feel blessed to be a part of this place and see you guys support one another, it's really cool to see and be a part of. This is what community is about, even though we are a virtual community. We're all human and have struggles.

Wishing you peace and happiness in your renewed journey, you got this.

I am keeping Ertz on ice and letting him come back later in the decision when this is all decided. He can continue to be a mentor for Stowers. If Stowers is recovered, he needs to start his season. And if not, GC gets the nod. We were sold a bill of goods on Jenkins and Mundt. Believe they are wasted roster spots and both PS talents at this point.

That is something I think we can all agree on.

Frankly rather have Ertz than Jenkins. I’m not sure Jenkins has done anything to be on a nfl 53 man roster

Eagles in full on legal preservation mode.

Jalen Hurts might be a part owner along with Julian when this is all said and done if this ends up ending his career.

Don’t see how this is preservation mode…pointing to a detailed statement, including precise medical terms vs answering a question off the cuff is bad?

He should be utilized like Sproles, the problem is he doesn't field kicks well. Quick screens, open spaces he could be effective. His pass pro is suspect also, would love to see him be effective somewhere in the league, he can be electric with his speed.

I haven't seen quitting like this since 2025 AJ Brown.

Congrats on getting back on the right track and keep up the good fight. We are all rooting for you.
