1 hour ago1 hr 1 minute ago, Sack that QB said:About Makai Lemon:We've lowered the bar so much with him that if he's merely open on a few plays per game(and doesn't even get the ball on those plays) and has a couple catches in a game then people will say he looked good.He may end up going on to have solid seasons in this league. Even Agholor had a solid season or two. But nothing about him looks like a 1st rounder to me. Nothing pops at all. Not his speed, size, quickness, ability to attack the catch point. Just looks like some nobody.I am always weary of drafting a WR who doesn't have at least have one special physical trait and/or is a slot-first type player. And as a result, was always a bit iffy on Lemon when we drafted him. I do want to give him a shot though as special route running traits can make up for lack of physical traits. I was a little sceptical of JJ coming out which was obviously wrong - he has proven he can play outside and get separation in the NFL but atleast JJ had a better build for the position. So far, I agree - I think Lemon will be fine as a player but nothing about him screams special to give you the impact you want from a Rd 1 pick

Just looks like some nobody.He’s on pace to have one of the worst rookie seasons of any top 90 eagles draft pick wr ever. His story isn’t written. Hes not a bust yet.But he looks awful. Awful. No sense not calling it like it is.

I didn’t love that pick either. The reason why I didn’t love it, I didn’t like moving up to get a guy when I didn’t think there was much difference from him and Cooper. I liked cooper as a prospect better. Im hoping I’m wrong. we can say whatever we want, Cooper has only played 1.5 games in a bad jets offense with bad coaching and he’s already looked more the part than lemon. I don’t think Cooper’s gonna be anything great either but he’s at least showed flashes today
1 hour ago1 hr Scary thing about this team is that Howie put his eggs in the Greenard, Davis and Carter baskets and you're stuck in it. I don't have confidence that any of them live up to their contracts. Howie caved into almost $40 M per year for a guy who played like sheet last year and spit on someone. And 2 bum shoulders and a bad wrist. Great move there!

It was just a bad pick.

And Chris Bell in the 2nd.I was meh with the Lemon pick and hated (and still do) Stowers pick.I hope they both prove me wrong
1 hour ago1 hr Lemon is least of the problems, calling playaction over and over into unblocked edge rushers and having Darius cooper block edge rushers over and over is problem number 1. That problem is the fomo Mannion followed by Siri. Impossible failure that was called out by the announcers the entire game.

Frankly he played 17 games a couple years ago, but he always missed time. I also said then and say it now, i find it curious when a DC as good as Flores isn’t banging the table to keep him around and saying to pay him

Shame he had the injury cause im guessing he goes higher than where he did. but i knew they weren’t taking him due to injury and then going wr in the first. Stower pick is more irritating as I don’t even think he fits this offense. He needs to learn how to block and his receiving skill were nfl ready either. He really was a 2nd rounder due to his athleticism and raw upside. He really should’ve likely been a 3-4 rounder
1 hour ago1 hr I wasn't a fan of the Lemon pick. I wanted Oline. But it doesn't seem like he's being used properly. People said it was a Mannion pick but it doesn't seem like it

1 hour ago1 hr I’m sure there are others, but Mundt is one of the most zero/negative signings they’ve had in a while. The guy gives you absolutely nothing.
1 hour ago1 hr Sirianni will likely take the fall and get fired in the offseason. But Howie and Lurie need to be very careful with how they handle thisAs I warned all of you before this season, this is no longer a talented team. This is a talented defense and a hideous offense with a net "meh” on the talent situation.Finding a premier HC candidate who is willing to be completely subservient to the Howie power structure and willing to work with the offensive personnel…..will not be easy. They won’t have a top 3 pick with a big time qb selection. They don’t have a qb coaches want to work with.They will have to look at the Doug Pederson and Nick Sirianni like candidates on the interview circuit. And Howie will have to go back to assembling teams so overwhelmingly talented that any coach and any qb can hop on for a championship ride. Jihaad Campbell, Andrew Mukuba, Makai Lemon, and Eli Stowers aren’t going to cut it.
