Gerry is still young, right? Tell me he's young ...

He’s basically the veteran of the group. Let me guess you think Gerry’s been fine and deserves more chances, but the kid they drafted in the 3rd round doesn’t? 

Put these young guys on another team and they probably just ball out. Eagles don't develop player properly because they don't let them play. If a guy is young and hungry and giving his all more than your starter, you F ing start that young guy. How do you get experience if you never get a chance to gain it? Something wrong with the way this org does things. Example: A player goes to another team- he balls out right away, after sucking here. Over and over. It is a real thing. The Eagles can't develop player properly.

I have to agree with this. There is definitely something wrong with the way they develop players.....or lack thereof

That went right over your head. Sigh...

 

FYI, I defend JJAW because I'm seeing him get open and not targeted. People here see a lack of production from him and make crap up saying," he can't separate ... he can't get open ... he is slow..." They say he's a bust and I just don't think he's been thrown to enough to know what we have. I have never stated he's great in any way. I don't build him up in my posts. I only defend against what I see as  misinformation about him. Just because I disagree with your opinion, you have created a straw man version of me that you seem to believe. As much as we've discussed this, I'm starting to question your reading comprehension. Seriously ...

Re: Gerry

I have never been a fan of converting DBs into LBs. I have never been a fan of Gerry's LB play. Last year, I tried to be optimistic about his future based on him making a few big plays. However, that can either be a knack or it can be luck. This year, it's clearly evident that Gerry has been very poor in coverage. What makes this worse is that's supposedly the best thing about his game. It is the whole point of having an undersized LB that doesn't come out of the game. From my vantage point, there's not much to defend him from any current criticism. I'm hoping Edwards doesn't stay out long. It's hard to know what we have in the new guys. It's too bad they aren't at least pushing Gerry based on his disappointing performance. 

There's a pretty huge difference between being burned in coverage or getting yourself out of position repeatedly in coverage (Gerry) than not being thrown to (JJAW). If you still don't understand my stance after this post, then it is your reading comprehension.

Sorry to cherry pick the topic, but I agree with you about JAWW......wentz simply doesn't look his way. Can't catch anything if it's not thrown to you.   I'm not saying he hasn't struggled, but he hasn't been given a decent shot to develop. And I don't know why.
