Move on they picked up insurance that'll most likely be the starter at some point this year if history is any indication. I don’t care how you slice it, it’s asinine to waste a 2nd round pick on a backup QB. Literally could have signed Mariota or Jamie’s Winston, revamped one of their careers and flipped them for a pick or two. You’re gaining nothing out of this move.

It's asinine until he's leading your favorite team down the field for a meaningful win. 2and round pick value is what you'll be cheering then. Just let it happen.
April 25, 20205 yr Is there the equivalent of a 25th amendment section 4 for GM's? Howie is clearly not well.

Just let it happen. Their reason for making this pick is a joke. Not saying the kid is. Heck some people compare his game to Lamar Jackson. Frankly if this kid is that good he’s going to replace the starter.

Wut? This logic only works with late round picks..And its a very slim margin of flipping him for a 1st , and now you're betting on Carson Wentz getting injured and him performing amazing to get a shot at a 1st..Insane. I agree. too many needs. If you use one of the three 4th round picks on a QB with this logic, great. But not a 2nd. Stupid.
April 25, 20205 yr I blame Lurie. He expressed desire to draft QB every few years. I think they felt the pressure and drafted Thorson. That didn't work out so they're at it again appeasing him.
April 25, 20205 yr i have no idea if Hurts will pay off for them down the road, . .. what i do know? that we have holes we needed to fill now and a 2nd rd pick should see playing time his rookie year. thet always seem to outsmart themselves... yikes

Move on they picked up insurance that'll most likely be the starter at some point this year if history is any indication. The problem is if they wanted QB insurance, you sign a decent vet backup that has playing experience. That you can trust to fill in right away. Not spend a valuable 2nd round pick on a project QB, that will take time to develop and likely wouldn’t actually have confidence stepping in if Wentz gets hurt this year given with lack of offseason.

Just because Howie helped win one Super Bowl doesn’t mean he’s void from criticism the rest of his life. I actually have always given him the benefit of the doubt and defended him. But this is plain stupid.

I actually have always given him the benefit of the doubt and defended him. But this is plain stupid. We had a vet backup last year. How'd that work out? Maybe he learned something. Let it play out before you poo all over it at least. Or not. Makes no difference to me. I'm just bored.
April 25, 20205 yr This one doesn't Hurts so good, this one HURTS really bad. Why? I mean we have needs all over the defense, DE,DT,CB,S,LB, just throw a stone at a good cant miss defensive player, best avail. Hell we could use another Wr, always room for good Olineman, why Hurts, why now? This just wreaks of a similar bad smell of wasting a 2nd on Sidney Jones. Always trying to outsmart everyone, and they end up just throwing picks away.If we are just going to throw them away anyway, why not trade them for players we KNOW can play now, even if it's only a year or two, you'd at least get some production from your 2nd rd pick. We likely wont see anything from Hurts for a few years , and thats if we get lucky.
April 25, 20205 yr I like the move. Good to see FO is self aware of the situation in front of them. I hope Wentz can be the franchise QB for years to come but at the end of the day the team needs a durable QB who doesn't miss important games. Most importantly,win.

Sorry man, if they were aware of the situation in front of them, they would have picked up more weapons for Wentz. Mims was there for us. And other needs.

April 25, 20205 yr Somewhere, Mcnabb is smiling lol. I hate this pick. Since the damage is already done, i now am sitting here trying to spin it positively...(i can’t). buuuuut, it will make the games that wentz misses going forward a lot more exciting. I hope Wentz finishes his career without missing time, but it probably isn’t going to happen.
