    I turned 38 today and have lost 52lbs since February. I’m very rarely ever proud of myself, but I’m feeling pretty proud today and thought I’d share. Carry on.

  • At this point, I’d like to see a former HC on the staff, but the biggest coaching news left is whether Stout stays.  BOOOOOOOOM

Am I the only person on this board who has concerns about Surtain?

 Guys unlikely to bust IMO, Pitts, Lawrence, Parsons, then Surtain.  Dude was born to play corner and has played that position since HS I believe.   At worst, he’s a starting FS for the next 7-10 years. Farley can likely cover better, but the Eagles need DB’s who aren’t afraid to tackle since they refuse to upgrade their LB’s.

 Then again, if Howie grows a set and drafts Parsons in the first, btw, he’s not a killer, he just tackles everything sideline to sideline and can blitz. The Colts have a great one in Darius Leonard, he makes everyone’s job on defense easier.  

 Has it only been 40 plus years since the Eagles drafted a LB in the first?..,  time to break that streak.   
 

I ran 4 of those draft simulations and 3 times Pitts landed in Dallas.  That wouldn't be good.

After fuming for 24 hours and having a day to reflect, I've decided I can no longer support this team as long as Howie Roseman remains general manager. I've always promised myself that whenever the frustration and anxiety a team causes me overtakes the joy a team brings me is the day I'd stop. Funny saying that only a few years removed from a Super Bowl, but the reality is, I haven't enjoyed sitting down to watch Eagles football aside from that one season for a long time. It's been well over a decade now. Spending my Sunday afternoons cursing at the TV, punching things, shaking my head and just being frustrated every single week. Sitting there not only disgusted at the product I'm watching, but totally bored by it. Just no interest in what's going on during the games. Spending half the time browsing news articles on my phone with the game in the background. Or demoting the Eagles to the iPad and watching a movie on the big screen. Being constantly reminded of the failures of this front office every time Curt Menefee chimes in with an update of DK Metcalf catching an 80 TD or Justin Jefferson having another 100 yard game. There's just no escaping it. The "Philadelphia Eagles experience" for me has just become not only not fun, but an anxiety-inducing experience. It no longer brings me joy, and I no longer look forward to the seasons. I actually dread them, knowing I'm about to dedicate 3 and a half hours of my life for 16 weeks watching something I don't even enjoy.
 
It really reached its pinnacle over the last year where they ruined Wentz, refused to fire the man responsible for it, and yesterday, passing on probably my favorite collegiate player of all-time. I wanted Chase in the worst way. I don't think I've ever coveted a prospect the Eagles could realistically draft like him. He was sitting in our laps and we gave him away.
 
In back to back to back years, Howie Roseman will have passed on DK Metcalf, Justin Jefferson, and Ja'Marr Chase. It's been a long time coming, but yesterday was the final straw for me. I know it's the right time to take a break from this team when I start to actively resent them. My hatred for Howie is now stronger than my love for the Eagles to the point where I can't help but actively root for him to fail just to bring me the joy of envisioning him miserable in his failures. Is that petty? Yeah, but I'm a petty vindictive person when it comes to sports, I won't deny that. Howie stole something I love from me, and I want him to pay for that.
 
For a second yesterday I thought "Oh, maybe this could be good if we could trade for Deshaun Watson" until I realized this dude could be suspended indefinitely by this time next season, hell he could even be in prison if these accusations are legit. Even if he gets away unscathed, there's no way in hell he's going to waive his NTC to come here. I know in my gut what's going to happen is Howie is either going to package all these picks to trade up for a QB in what looks to be a significantly weaker QB draft class. Or he'll stand pat and take player with Miami's pick, that combined with who the Eagles pick at 12 will almost assuredly not match the caliber of what Ja'Marr Chase will bring. A kid who dominated the SEC at 19 years old and may very well be the NFL's next great WR. And having to sit and be subjected to being reminded about it over and over and over again... like with Metcalf... like with Jefferson. Every Fing week. While Jalen Hurts is dropping back and throwing to absolute trash, because this wannabe football guy playing general manager has the keys to the kingdom.
 
It's perpetual hell. It's fandom without hope. Knowing that the guy in charge will find a way to mess it up. Every. Single. Year. The guy finally landed a draft pick impossible to mess up and he traded out of it! You can't even script it. Can't even look forward to the NFL Draft anymore. An event I've loved since I was a kid. Howie Roseman has ruined every aspect of consuming this sport that I've loved and made it a miserable experience that causes me nothing but aggravation and frustration. And I can't do it anymore.
 
I'll always have love for this team and organization, but until this guy is gone, I need a long break. For my mental and physical health, it's definitely taken a toll on me. I think this board has a lot of cool posters and people who I've chatted with over the years, and even though I can't enjoy watching, I hope you do. And of course wish everyone the best of health.

This whole draft is in the fog because of opt-outs and no combine.

Another reason to like the trade.  Push some of your draft capital into 2022, where there would be more certainty. 

<Insert "but Howie can't draft" comment here.>

For the same reason, I wouldn't mind seeing one of our third rounders get traded for a second in 2022.

Well, obviously Howie is reading the Blog because he already traded down in the first for additional 2022 draft capital so he will trade the Colts’ 3rd for a second next year.  I expect to see more trades, including possibly going deeper in round 1 for more draft capital and likely in 2022.  Even willing to take 2023 picks.

We could bump the Pitts hater posts for half a decade tho? Might be worth for I told ya so’s

Just watch some more , Rousseau , he will go top 20,.. he was very good when lined up over the center , big boy , who can move , so he is more than a edge guy , to whoever said that earlier.

he never runs himself out of a play , his length is evident on so many plays

just scratching his potential

LOL, take care

Everyone’s penciling in Wilson #2nd overall but it would be fun if the Jets shocked the world and went somewhere else with the pick. I imagine 49ers would still go with the guy they identified and traded up for, leaving every team needing a QB to frantically call Atl. I wonder if Eagles would try to trade up to #4.

Sir this is an Arby’s 

Howie has drafted horribly. I don’t really trust him with more picks. 
 

But the one thing I will say, in his defense of this trade... this year is even harder to scour players, because many opted out and haven’t played for a year. That makes them an even bigger risk. Giving us an extra 1st round pick next year is probably better because (hopefully) there won’t be any opting out this year. And maybe they feel 12 is a better place to be, value wise. Like, if someone like Pitts or Smith or Waddle does drop down, it makes it a better value, but there will still be good players available at 12. Being that this year is kind of a wasted year for us anyway, I’d rather have 12 and a next year first, than just pick six this year, in a year harder to evaluate. The question is, does it even matter, with their recent "success rate” in the draft? Doesn’t seem like it

There’s no way the Jets at two don’t take a quarterback or trade out. If they take another positional player instead of trading out of two they are insane. With what Miami got for three they easily could get that and possibly more for two from somebody like Carolina or New England or Denver or even the Eagles

I'll stick around a while.

What a bunch of fair-weather fans. Good lord. Boo hoo, I only like the Eagles when they win the Super Bowl. GTFO.

Oh and I get them being frustrating, but it's a Fing sport, back away from the ledge.

I didnt start getting angry about the eagles, I just stopped investing as much energy. Its not even because I got mad. I still think Howie might be really good and most of you are wrong about him. :ph34r: And though I loved Wentz and hate that the QB situation played out the way it did, Im always excited for major changes with the team.

I think I just got older and other things took precedence. I dont have as much time. When I signed up here I was in a college dorm room. I had like 2-3 hours of class a day. I was incredibly efficient with my school work and study habits. And I did almost nothing else but play Madden, watch comcast or ESPN, and look at the EMB and various other rumor sites. I used to make play by play threads during the entire week of senior bowl practices, like @Don Corleone before Don did his twitter thing because twitter wasn't even a thing yet. And I was always able to catch every one. This year, I caught 0 minutes of senior bowl week.

I havent watched draft prospects this year. A few highlight videos. Thats it. Nothing in depth at all on anyone. And not even that many highlight videos. Very few players. 

Im not searching pro-day numbers. 

I didnt invest as much time into the NBA draft this year either. 

When my kids finally go to bed, I have about 2 hours of TV time with Mrs HE to unwind. And I might watch other stuff on youtube. By the time Im out of other content to watch or read about, and consider prepping for the draft, I decide its time to go to bed instead because I wake up at 5am almost every day and Id be too tired. 

It’s only a game , meant to give you a break from the every day life grind , some of you are putting way too much time and emotions into it .

Howie realizes he can't draft for crap and the only way he can save his job is to keep pushing picks back a year.

What would you trade to add Darnold to the qb factory after the Jets draft Wilson?

I’d trade a late-round pick, but I think we hit our quota on wasted money for former Jets QBs. 

Eagles football is a form of entertainment. Sack the QB doesn't find it entertaining anymore. Why continue watching?

I have to confess that I'm dubious about the Eagles' entertainment value for the upcoming year.

The trade down was a smart move.  
 

I wish we could have gotten even more...look at how much more Miami got dropping to 12 from just 3 spots higher.  But that’s the perk of being in franchise qb draft position.  
 

I assume the chatter is that the qbs will be gone by 6.  If that is not the case, the Eagles might have been able to get more by trading down on draft day.  We’ll see...imagine if a qb drops and Miami trades out of 6 on draft day for more than Howie got?!  Armageddon.

/stream of consciousness.

Overall, I think it was a good trade, I’m on board with rolling capital into 2022, and 12 does present better value in this draft than 6.
