This is the Eagles way. They will announce him, have him do a press conference etc. It will be a big to do. Lurie and Howie will speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought with a great resume, it would only take a few months, instead a decade later, over 500 job applications, house gone, savings depleted, waiting for SS since they raised the age for my tranche of the baby boom. I couldn't even get more than a couple interviews, much less a job. Show you're current? How about a series of heavily downloaded working papers, co-author a paper in a professional journal in the field, and a seminal book? All that got me was some consulting work for a couple years. My advice to anyone approaching 50 is assume you'll be laid off by 60 (a recession every decade and you'll be the first to go) and you'll never make the kind of money you're currently making again. Thought it was me until I did research, 50+% of men over 50 get laid off at some point, and only 10% ever make similar money again. Age discrimination is ubiquitous, in business, academia, law and consulting - and forget a government job, the ten point preference for current federal employees and veterans makes that impossible. It's the dirty secret that all those ads about your great retirement hide - maybe 10-20% will remain employed long enough to avoid tapping into their retirement savings (try buying health insurance when you're 60, at least Obama Care has helped a little). Even law partners have been pushed to the street in droves the last decade. Despite a stellar career, I have virtually no chance of getting another job in academia. Too old, too male, and too white. The one possible exception would be some sort of administrative position. Even then the odds would be stacked greatly against me. I could retire now albeit with reduced benefits. The thing is I still like my job. Not every aspect of it, mind you. The balance seems to be tipping towards the negative over he last few years, but is not quite there yet. The covid-induced house arrest has convinced me that I need a regular schedule. I also like working with young people - face-to-face, not remotely. I am grateful to have had the career that I have had. (That's some weird sentence structure.) I am tired of swimming upstream, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was good in 2017 then for the final 4 games of 2019...with a few decent games mixed in. He was pretty bad for most of 2018 (despite what the stats tell you). 19-24 record as a starting QB the last 3 seasons. 32-34 for his 5 year career. I agree, I wouldn't classify that as a "good" QB.

austinfan Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 Since the Eagles are rebuilding, they don't have to rush into decisions with Wentz/Hurts or with dumping veterans. That is, if your focus is on 2023 (3 year rebuild, think AR, two bad years under Rhodes and his first season), then you first try to fix Wentz, while you coach up Hurts, after the coming season, you'll know if either is your QB and can go into the 2022 draft with that knowledge. They're going to dump a bunch of veterans this year, and spread cap hits over 2021 and 2022, but there's no rush for some guys where there is little or no cap savings. If you bring back Kelce, Brooks and Lane, that allows you to build a veteran line while grooming their replacements, a better environment for your QBs. If you bring back Graham with Cox and Hargrave, you don't have to rush young DL into the lineup this season. And a young secondary doesn't have to cover for 5 seconds. If you keep Slay one more year, you don't have to have two inexperienced CBs, McLeod can stabilize the safety position. Since the Eagles won't have the cap room to bring in FAs the next two years, the next best thing is to gradually phase out their veterans. Even in a rebuild, you want to remain competitive, because it's a better environment for player development. Of course, in TC, young players win all ties.

Because I am objective in nature. Not all of us can be. Carry on. we dont like wentz because he doesnt throw to open receivers, takes sacks, doesnt throw the ball away, you are one that loves wentz no matter how bad he plays because he's a nice guy crap. this is about football not a charity event. if you just like players for what they are and not how they play, you are not football fans.

How well he moves at 6'6" 240 is unbelievable, 0 drops, A++ at adjusting and making contested catches, and is the ultimate mismatch weapon Truly, he moves so well that people calling him a tight end are grossly underestimating how good he is. He's a top 5-10 WR prospect ALONE, with the ridiculous versatility to line up with his hand in the ground next to a tackle if you wanted him to do that. Even if we didn't hire Sirianni and want to utilize 12 personnel more frequently, just as purely a WR prospect, I'd be all in at 6 for this guy. It's as close to can't miss as you can possibly get I'm the head of the Kyle Pitts bandwagon but I think they can trade down and still get him. Would love him to be an Eagle. Such a weapon.

I’m hoping the Texans are trolling Watson at this point — trying to influence/dictate a GM hiring, refusing to return calls, etc. Hopefully they ask him to come in and take part in the McCown interview .... since he needs to have his opinion heard on management hires. If they actually hire McCown as head coach, that confirms the unthinkable — that BOB was the smartest guy in that room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
