Lurie: Basically Doug, we love your plan, only, without you in it. Thanks for the memories. 

I don't see them hiring Duce unless Howie believes they will get some all-star OC with him or he is there only viable choice.  I mean someone like Daboll could want personnel control or to have a say on the GM position.  That obviously would not fly with Howie.  I think some of us are underestimating him as a coach.  He's an unknown and we have had reservations about the RB rotation.  I don't think Duce would keep Press Taylor.  I think he would get a more experienced voice as a DC.

They should hire him in a heartbeat.  He's a great DC.  

In my defense:

1) I've criticized moves, never like the Jeffrey extension, thought the rebuild should have started this year, etc. But I don't like using 20/20 hindsight to look brilliant or to kvetch, I try to understand WHY moves are made, instead of knee jerk blame seeking after a bad season. I liked the Wallace move, 1 yr, in a deep threat role, just bad luck. I liked Malik, a proven 3 technique pass rusher next to Cox, again, bad luck. Hargrave was a little expensive, but he was also a 27 year old talented pass rusher stuck in the wrong system, the second half we saw how good he can be as a 3 tech rusher. DeSean was mixed emotions, I didn't think he would play 16 games, but thought 10 games and get him healthy for the playoffs was a reasonable gamble, too much money but not a bad move. People assume the alternatives were available, if Anderson was really available, why wasn't he traded, Eagles weren't the only team interested - sometimes a player is available only in the sense of a gross overpay.

2) Howie made a deliberate decision to try and get back to the SB in 2018 and 2019, the Eagles had a ridiculous string of injuries those two years, and given they changed medical staffs (and how do you judge a medical staff if you're not a doctor?) it may just have been bad luck, look at Darby and Hicks playing 16 games last year, what the f----!  If the Eagles had a normal rate of injury odds are good that they make it back to the SB. It wasn't sustainable, but it was worth a gamble, or are you Lion fans who are happy to sneak into the playoffs every other year?

3) People assume that if you don't draft X you would have drafted Y, in reality, you probably would have drafted Z, take Hurts at #53, people assume if they don't take Hurts they take Dobbins #55 or Chinn #64, eleven picks later, but what if the scouts wanted Epenesa #54 or Jefferson #57 or Uche #60. So saying its was Hurts or Chinn is pure hindsight. If the Eagles take Jefferson, what kind of season would he have here, instead of Minnesota with Cousins behind a stable OL, Cook (1557 yards) at RB, Thielen at WR. and Rudolph and Smith at TE. I suspect it would have been like Fulgham, a few good games then DCs put a safety over top and press him b/c there's no one else they're afraid of on our offense last year. He's still have a good season, maybe 800 yards, but not like the one he had. 

4) Howie is at his best rebuilding, and I don't think Howie and Lurie will ever fall into the "we're just a player or two away" trap again, they tried that approach and got burned. But Howie has run some really good drafts, 2012, 2013, 2016, he's at his best when maneuvering to maximize value, find hidden gems and scour the FA bargain bin. I think because he has more leverage over personnel in those circumstances than he did after the SB, when the focus was on trying to get back instead of build for the long-run. With a new HC hired with the mandate to build a team, not win now, there will be more consensus in the draft room, because everyone will focus on a player 2-3 years from now, and not what he can do as a rookie or his role on a veteran team. Which means instead of looking at #6 and saying we need a WR, they will look at BPA v trading down for more value.

5) 2020 doesn't really matter, the extensions were made for the 2019 run, Slay isn't a big deal, he can probably be dealt for a 3rd if they want to go that route. In the end we have the #6 pick, or what we probably would have ended up with a rebuild. All's well that ends well. A year was taken off a bunch of contracts, they'll eat a lot of money in 2021 and 2022, big deal, the key is clearing out the money by January 2023 so they can get back into the FA market as the young players they add the next two years are ready to start. Howie did start rebuilding this draft, nor does that contradict "going for it," after the second day few rookies make significant contributions, for every Kelce there's ten guys like Prince. There's no LB that would have made a significant difference over taking Taylor. So they focused on need with Reagor and Hurts and adding Hargrave and Slay, then other than Driscoll in the 4th, most of the picks were futures. Hurts as a backup QB, even as a rookie, gave us a better shot than McNown or Sudfeld - and don't assume you can just add a competent veteran QB, there's only a few and they pick where they want to go.

6) Hurts v Wentz v drafting a QB at #6. The odds of landing a top 20 QB at #6 are probably 1/3 or less, and you'd be wasting a prime asset. Wentz has shown himself capable of playing at top ten level, it would be stupid to give up on him during a rebuild when wins and losses don't matter. Two years from now, if you can't salvage him, you can dump him at a much lower cost. Hurts showed flashes, it's hard to judge a rookie behind a line with Pryor and Toth playing, and Fulgham as your leading WR and Pederson calling plays. He has average arm strength but at times really good touch, he's a very good runner (lacks the speed of Jackson or Murray but much harder to bring down) and his FB body suggests he can be more durable than most running QBs. So put him on the bench, and force feed him QB 101, how to read a NFL defense and go through your progressions, truth is, most college QBs (Fields, Lawrence, etc) can't do that at the NFL level.

Stop with the hindsight is 20/20.

It is a worthwhile caveat when evaluating outcomes in the singular. However, as examples of outcomes accrue the singular becomes EVIDENCE. One would hope the evaluation of EVIDENCE is 20/20.

Many here suggest that there is sufficient EVIDENCE that Howie has been suboptimal in his roster construction and management.

I don't care if Lurie is making the picks, Howie is making the picks, or if Howie is just a consensus builder. IT IS NOT WORKING! We cannot remove Lurie. Therefore, the logical change to suggest is to remove Howie.

If it were all just bad luck for 3 straight years, there would be about as many good moves as bad over that same span.  I can't count the number of bad moves, there are so many.  I can count the number of good moves on one hand, and frankly most of them are only marginally good.

 

The trend here is very much downward.

Is Jim Leonhard an option? 

 

There was a ridiculous amount of injury bad luck, starting with Jerrigan. A healthy Jerrigan and maybe no Malik, a healthy Malik and no Hargrave.

Dillard is drafted to replace Peters, a year to add strength, if he starts at LT, they don't resign Peters, Mailata and Driscoll back up Lane. Brooks missed more games to anxiety than injury the past seven season.  If the Eagles have a solid OL all season they probably make the playoffs.

If Wallace doesn't get injured, he buys a year at WR to add speed, maybe they don't even look at DeSean or think about extending Jeffrey.

Darby was a great move, except he couldn't stay on the field until he leaves here.

Coaching was also a big issue:

If Pederson realized Agholor is better outside than in the slot (where he never looked comfortable), the other WR decisions would have been easier.

How can you have Ware, Pryor, Jones, Douglas and Sullivan and not put together a decent secondary with veterans like McLeod and Jenkins and then Maddox is strictly a slot CB.

 

We won in 2017 partially because we were healthy, other than Peters going down, the OL played 16 games, Wentz was injured after 13 games, Smallwood was dinged up but Clement stayed healthy, Jeffrey had his last healthy season, Darby got injured, Hicks got injured. We lost a few starters, but could compensate. The wave of injuries in 2018 and 2019 were ridiculous, sure Jeffrey and DeSean were good bets to miss games, but two whole seasons? Hicks and Darby didn't play a full season until 2020 after they leave. Jerrigan goes down, Malik and Wallace get injured after a couple games and so on, you expect to lose one or two starters and have a few more out for a number of games, but not like this.

And the 2020 OL was insane, Dillard and Brooks before the season, the Seumalo for half the season, Peters, Lane, Driscoll, Opeta, and finally Mailata, that's just really bad luck.

Just for the sake of discussion, Jeffery was injured during the season, he just played through it.  So there was some red flags there.  

If you didn't see the Brooks and Peters injuries coming, that's on you.  Brooks already had popped an Achilles... so that was more likely to happen again - happened with Demeco Ryans while he was here.  happened with Jordan Hicks while he was here.  It should have been 'on the radar'... and who would have seen injury coming to a 39 year old OL that had been dealing with chronic injuries for the last 4 years getting injured... I mean that's just bizarro world to expect that.  Lane had the ankle going into the off season, so maybe a little concern that he doesn't come back or can't stay back.   Seumalo, Driscoll and Opeta, sure.  Those are unpredictable, the others were very predictable and were a matter of when, not if.

Peters wasn't even supposed to be on the team. For that reason. That's why they groomed Dillard and were developing Mailata.

Brooks came back from the first achilles without even missing a season, there was no reason to expect the second one, never happened to Peters, for example. When, not if, applies to practically every NFL player who doesn't come from the Matthews gene pool.

Lane had off-season surgery, sure there's an issue, but if the surgery was successful, it's not a huge issue. Which is why I now worry it's degenerative.

Point is that you expect one major injury on your OL and one minor, two major in a bad season, but the whole freakin' line? That's really bad luck.

You can't plan for that kind of bad injury luck, there is neither the money or roster space. And the OL going down basically deep sixed the season.

Now you might also consider it good luck, since they would have been one and done, then picked #19. And a lot of young players got PT this past season.

wow the spin you come up with is amazing. Yep let’s pay desean a brand new contract that is super hard to get out of for possibly 10 games and hopefully he makes it through the season to the playoffs. That could arguably be a worst take then bacarty  comes on here with. If that’s how the Eagles viewed it and that’s how they were going into it everyone should be fired. I’m not making trades and giving him the type of contract he did if I only expect 10 games and hopefully he makes it to the playoffs. That is bad management. Not only bad management it’s idiotic logic

Yes Robby Anderson was available they could have traded for him but made multiple bad moves instead. Like trading a 3rd for golden tate. And then the following offseason traded picks and giving a new contact to get a injury prone 33 year old WR. that took up cap space and had jeffery taking up cap space so they didn’t have the luxury of trading more picks and more resources to trade for a guy who could leave after 8 games in anderson. It is purely amazing how much you can spin.

No they had a chance to do it and they made bad decisions.  dealing for Golden tate if you actually watched the lions at this stage of his career was a SLOT receiver And not an outside WR like they needed. And no agholor was a mental case and wasn’t going to be a good solution for the eagles as an outside WR in Philadelphia. Once they made the move for desean and the bad restructuring of alshon prevented any chance of them signing Anderson in free agency or spending even more draft capital to get Anderson. That wasn’t unlucky. That’s called bad management of resources and money.

this isn’t hindsight it was said at the time of those moves. That’s the point you keep missing.  This isn’t hindsight to look brilliant. This is what people said at those times. You just buy into all the BS reasonings they hade which a lot of them were flawed  

and as for your Malik Jackson point you still haven’t proven that he declined with Jacksonville because they changed their scheme. That was your reasoning to me. I said he declined in 2018 and was trash against the run. Your excuse was well change scheme and that’s why he wasn’t good. No he change when he came to Philadelphia but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t on the decline in Jacksonville as he massively declined from 2016 and 2017 to 2018 and likely on the decline at 29. Even in your article you posted it said that. he was coming off his worse season in the nfl since his rookie season and the Eagles gave him the contract that they did. If you don’t think that bad managing of your money to realize a guy is 29 years old and coming of one of his worst seasons as a pro that it might be a bad idea to give him the type of contract structure that’s on you being naive or just overlooking the obvious
