Would love him to be an Eagle. Such a weapon. I'm not convinced. I think as we get closer to the draft, everyone is going to start realizing that there's a 20 year old 6'6" 240 lbs top 5 WR talent also in this draft Watch. Everyone is going to be obsessed with Pitts as soon as they start properly framing him as a WR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do too but if someone in the top 15 offers multiple picks it needs to be considered, this team is more than one great player away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P.S. — Stafford sucks Sucks less than Wentz and Hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the teens where there are less sure hits it takes skills that Howie does not have to pick right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not trade back and give yourself a chance to miss. These guys are all great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll wait until another reputable source confirms 100%. Wouldn't be shocked if he's jumping the gun just to be the first to say it Breer all but confirmed it as done.

ManuManu Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Per La Canfora... * Eagles considered interviewing Josh McCown for head coach prior to hiring Nick Sirianni * The Eagles were also very impressed by Patriots linebackers coach Jerod Mayo, who is just 34 and only two years into his coaching career (he retired from a distinguished playing career in 2015), but in the end, opted for a head coach with more sweeping coaching experience. The trend of players jumping from active player to head coach in a much faster period of time than has been the norm is something to watch in coming years, and it is only a matter of time before McCown is coaching an NFL team, whether it be in Houston or somewhere else.

schuy7 Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I could've sworn the Steelers already promoted their QBs coach Matt Canada to OC. Maybe for them it's only procedural to interview Pep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManuManu Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 This was probably mentioned, but Detroit trading Stafford is pretty good news for us. Assuming he goes to a place like Indy, SF or NE — teams picking well behind Philly — teams now know they have to trade ahead of Detroit at 8 to get a QB. All of this increases the likelihood of teams reaching/trading up for QBs. Maybe a guy like Lance gets taken in the top 6 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That implies that there would be no 'difference maker' at #10 or so. There will be. The question is whether or not Howie is smart enough to listen to his scouts, or is he going to do his own thing.
