Try the meatmcginley method of pretending you dont have it so that you dont feel it.

Thanks I actually don't feel real bad. Which is why I waited until today to get tested.

You've never read a single poster other than myself mention that Graham and his pressures are overrated by the fanbase? You must be relatively new here. You haven't seen anyone else mention that Graham's strip sack doesnt equate to him being a better player? Maybe "many" was a strong word. 

I used the two of them because it's the same, stupid argument that you're making. You literally said that Graham "does more to help his team win" and using the same logic, Holmes did more to help his team win a SB so by your standards that would mean he's better. You want to dismiss it because it points out how foolish your argument is.

Graham will be remembered because he had a big play in a Super Bowl. That's likely true. David Tyree is remembered for the same thing, not sure that would equate to him being a great WR and better than his peers.

My very first post the first words I typed out were that I like Graham. I'm also thankful for the strip sack. Not once did I say he sucks. I believe he's overrated by the fanbase. When you have to depend on things like "pressures, he has a good attitude, does more to win (with no factual evidence to support this)" as a base for your argument, the guy is overrated. Still a good player, just not this amazing DE that some like to paint him as.

Holmes did do more to help his team beat the Cardinals in the super bowl, he caught the game winning td, if fitzgerald did more to help his team win they would have won no?

I don't think he's an amazing DE I don't think dunlap griffin or hughes are.

I think graham is a more complete DE than those 3 and he has more playoff wins and a game changing okay in the superbowl that gives him the edge over guys like dunlap and Griffen.

I can simply prove he's done more to help his team win than those other guys simply because his team won and he has a distinct play in the biggest game that can directly be pointed to in affecting the outcome of the game.

Graham has been steady force the last 4-5 seasons, the reason others including myself will point out his pressures and run defense and other contributions is because for to many they judge a DE simply by the number of sacks he gets without any context Into those sacks and how meainingful they were.

If people are claiming graham is a great sacker if the Qb then they're wearing green colored glasses, and if a fan says Graham is a great DE and we'll balanced and does more than just sack the QB which on their face are an over rated stat id tend to agree.

I'm not sure who thinks graham is an elite DE he's been good no one's is claiming he's HOF or even an All pro but he's been good and had a heckuva a career called by a super bowl and a pro bowl and he still looks like he's got a little left in the tank so we'll see.

As for what you've said in the past to other posters sorry I don't follow your posts like some fan boy, sorry, I'm sure you're lovely but I'm not a creeper 😉

I saw a mock draft that had Micah Parsons and then Bateman the wr from Minnesota in the 2nd. I would lose my crap if that happened, that is the perfect first 2 rounds from where we are at.

On a side note guess who contracted corona literally 3 days before I'm supposed to go on a hog hunt?

That sucks. Hope you feel better and your symptoms aren't too bad. How long ago did you get vaccinated?

I am fully vaccinated, today I was told by my Doc that he's had several cases test positive after the test. He said that sometimes the vaccine only lessens the symptoms. It is what it is. The timing sucks though. Only hope is that my "symptoms" started last Thursday so I could be clear of quarantine by Sunday night if completely symptom free. The outfitter would have to okay it. And I'm not going to lie to go.

I am in the pharmaceutical field. Its actually normal that you get symptoms a day or two after the shot. It normally only lasts 24 to 48 hours. Your doctor is correct. The vaccine is not meant to prevent you from getting Covid. You can still get it and carry it and give it to others. It lessons the severity of the virus and to keep it simple, prevents you from kicking the bucket. 

But your symptoms are normal after getting the shot. It will past in a day or so.

He wasn't defending Howie, he was defending the personnel group - the scouts were making good evaluations - that's what he meant by identifying the right players.

Just because you get lucky one year with your picks, doesn't mean your personnel group are doing a good job if they're mis-evaluating the majority of top players.

You should go back and review their evaluations of all the players (not just the ones you picked) against how those players eventually turned out as a check.

For example, there are five QBs at the top of this draft, if the scouts say correctly evaluate 4 of the 5, they're doing a good job (even the best group will have misses). If they only identity two hits/misses and are totally wrong on the other three, you're not going to feel comfortable drafting a QB in the future.

And they failed to identify the good players that were on the board when the Eagles were on the clock.    Sorry, the results say their process was flawed.  Because other teams make picks too.  The Eagles scouting department (headed by Howie) needs to identify MORE players that can play in the NFL and then they need to select those players when the Eagles are on the clock... OR if they have identified that there isn't a player worthy of that pick available, they need to evaluate that situation and they need to maneuver differently to get a quality player, not a lot of crap players.

This is a very naive interpretation of how things work. The owner has a say. The coaches have a say. Ultimately you have to have a strategy that works for the coach’s vision.

That’s one of the reasons Doug is gone. He wanted to keep kicking the can down the road for one more shot at a ring, and finally the owner said no. Lurie even said as much in the news conference.

Sure.  The owner has a say.  He says when the GM is hired and fired.   The trouble seems to be that there's not a single vision within the organization... too many cooks ruins the soup.  So, while I may have a naive interpretation according to you, this 'collaborative' effort where they all hold hands and pull a name out of a hat based on who's turn it is to make the pick.   This isn't kindergarten.  Someone needs to be the grown up in the room and make the final decisions and when those decisions are almost all bad, that person needs to be held accountable.

 

The idea that they couldn't take another shot for a ring by making different moves, without overpaying for the wrong players... lots and lots of the wrong players is what's naive.  You seem to think that the only way that they could 'take a shot' was to over pay for the likes of Desean Jackson, Alshon Jeffery and Malik Jackson.  That's not true.  There were plenty of other options that they could have made.  And many of those moves would have cost less than the move made by the Eagles.  And let's not forget that the draft day moves are a completely separate discussion and has nothing to do with the 'taking one more shot' philosophy.  Or are you suggesting that identifying players that are raw (Reagor) or completely inept (JJAW) are 'good' win now moves?   They aren't even good win eventually moves.  They are just BAD moves.  

Collaborative can very quickly degenerate into committee with weak leadership

howie is a weak leader. So is lurie now, apparently

You’re not considered fully vaccinated until around two weeks after the second shot so I’m assuming he contracted the virus within that two week timeframe. 

I just realized something... 

The Eagles won the SB in 2018 B.C. 

Kinda makes it feel like 4,000 years ago..

The vaccine is definitely meant to prevent you from getting covid.  Not 100% effective, for sure, but that's the primary purpose.

@greend hang in there.  Even if you didn't hit that 2 week post-vaccine point, it really should kick in your favor to prevent the worst of it.
