They don't seem confident in Sudfeld and don't have the cap space to pay a competent veteran.

Howie said, that he drafted Hurts because Sudfeld wants to be a starter and they wanted to get out in front of that.

QB that can throw and run a 4.5 40 on a team that runs Philly Specials. They have plans for him while they are developing him. Sounds like a get first downs, redzone, short yardage type of plan from the start. So this notion that he won't contribute this year seems incorrect.

Agree.  He will see the field this year in certain short yardage situations. It could be fun or it could be a disaster.  Lol

and lets not understate how important it is (especially for this team it seems) to have a reliable back up qb.  
 

How quickly people forget

I doubt very much they do. Doug isn't as creative in that way as people like to think. 

What exactly do you think Hill does? He's a redzone/short yardage guy who last year caught some special designed passes as well. He doesn't get many touches and he's just used in certain game time conditions on occasion.

That's the truth though. 

Ok. But I won't be surprised when Hurts comes in and they run a wild cat formation play for him.

After seeing what happened to Mahomes on the sneak last year and that we have a brittle starting QB, makes sense to spread that around.

A handful of times a year... hardly worth it.

Agree. That's what Doug said in his interview when comparing him to Hill. So until someone from the Eagles actually says he's a back up who will sit on the bench until Wentz gets hurt, I will believe what Doug said in how he plans to use him.

Exactly. That's why it was a wasted pick. 2nd rounder was way too high for a guy that's going to play maybe 3 plays a game.

'Special packages to put stress on the defense' - Desmond Howard. in other words more for the defense to prepare for. Dougy P is already getting in defenses heads.

Yeah that's been my point all along. I hate the pick.

Yep. Me 2. There were players on the board that could have started or at least contributed significantly. Terrible pick.

I actually hate it. Normally after a few hours I calm down and try to understand it. There's no doing that with this ish.

Schefter made a great point about Covid-19 impacting team decisions as well. 'What if the QB gets sick' 
Damn didn't really even consider that. Especially since this thing is going to be around well into next spring (2021).

2nd rounder is too high. Good point though.

Fine for you to believe that but the risk to the organization is significant given the importance of the position. I'm so happy to see a draft I was approaching it like it's just another year without the unprecedented conditions that are going on around us. I wonder if this even happens if Covid-19 wasn't out there changing everyone's lives. Hard for me to say 2nd round is too high when we have a QB that's missed significant time and a global pandemic that's extremely contagious out there. No doubt in my mind if they have a season they are going to lose weeks to players contracting this.

Well let's see... A second round pick could be a good starter especially in this secondary... So let's say to be generous... 60-70% of snaps.

Key words 'could be'. There's a particular 2nd rounder that wasn't the best of contributors for example.

You guys should rename this topic Jalen Hurts topic 2. seams he hyjacked this topic, lol

Any position can get sick. Furthermore, a 2nd round pick should not be made with the coming months in mind. They should be made with the coming years in mind.

Maybe we got confused by Jalen. LOL.

Yeah... back to Reagor on this thread 🙂 Sorry. This Hurtz thing is spreading  around threads like covid.

If any player gets sick, they will contain the entire team and the league will basically shut down if its still spreading at that point.

To bring it back to Reagor. I'll stop talking about Hurts in here and make more broad to all players even Reagor. Any 2nd round pick or 1st round pick for that matter is made for the coming years in mind. You have bigger problems if you're basing your entire season on impact players immediately from the draft. With this revelation of the impact of Covid though I feel like we very well may see something that looks like the scab seasons of the past if players start getting infected. Think about how many of them would have to potentially get quarantined. In season. Your talking about many players on the team missing at least 2 games in the best case scenario.

So we are the only team to plan for that then?

We can get this back on Reagor pretty fast

Reagor Sucks, Jefferson is better

Reagor is a project

We could have had lamb instead of Reagor and Hurts

You boys go from there, I got it started for you :)

Ok, so what does that have to do with anything? It's a non-sequitur. Hurts himself could be the one to potentially get the virus just as easily as Wentz, or any player.

That's why the testing and contact tracing is so important. These guys aren't in a bubble. They will always be exposed to the possibility given that there's no vaccine more than likely for another 12-18 months. Only takes 1 to spread. They'll probably figure out a way to move forward but this thing is dangerous. Blood clots, organ damage, this virus is some bad stuff. If the NFLPA is like nope not worth you're right they will shut it down.
