I guess that could be an option (with this team anything goes! haha). But I just don't see them going that route - I think they really did draft him to serve as a longer-term fixture as Wentz's backup and someone they can use creatively in other ways on offense. Time will tell.

Time will tell. Problem is, is Hurts going to be content being a career backup? Unless there’s something going on behind the scenes we don’t know about, like Wentz has told them he wants to play out his contract and move on, or the team is planning to go that way on their own for example. If both Wentz and the team are still planning a long term marriage, then I can’t see Hurts being here long term.

Garoppolo sat with the Patriots for 3 years before being traded, for example. The Eagles bought themselves insurance. They don't have to make any decisions right away and they can see how things play out. You have to see how both of them perform going forward. And they didn't say they definitely plan to trade him, it was one of the scenarios they said could happen in "the QB factory." Hurts could take over, Hurts could be a bust and get cut, both could be playing great so they trade one. It's all speculation until we see how things play out.

I think they have 4 years to figure out what is really best for this franchise moving forward. In the meantime, they have a young QB to start grooming to serve as backup for 4 years and shouldn't have to rely on a 40 year old band aid or shuffle backups every year.

I showed you why I thought Kolb was less a choker and more of a bust . . . as opposed to a _REAL_ choker, Donovan McNabb. McNabb bone your boyfriend or something? McNabb is still arguably the greatest QB in team history (none of championship winning guys have longevity) 2001 - wasn't a choke, Rams were better team AND we're throwing to Freddy Mitchell on 4th down!!! Seriously??? 2002 - Def still allowed 20 points, and that TB defense isn't known as one of the best of all time for nothing. PS Ronde had good coverage (faked blitz and dropped into zone were ball went) 2003 - He got hurt from a cheap shot 2004- Not having a healthy TO really hurt, he did have 2 bad INTs though, BUT he wasn't covering Deon Branch all game was he? PS people who call athletes chokers are the ones them selves often choking on the D

June 29, 20205 yr Given the increased cases of COVID-19 that is now potentially jeopardizing the 2020 College Football season, including several Div II and III schools having already canceled their fall sports, maybe I was right that Howie took Jalen where he did gambling there would be no college football in 2020-'21 and if he showed enough with the Eagles this year he could turn around next offseason and trade him somewhere for a first-rounder and possibly more simply because if there is no season this fall, players coming into the NFL for the 2021 season will be doing so being off an entire year.

I think Howie has taken a calculated gamble. If the scouts and FO really like Hurts that much then they've drafted a really good back up QB potentially for 4 years. By that time they may have a decision to make on whether to give Wentz another huge deal or to go with Hurts on a cheaper deal. They can also look to use Hurts in a creative way and give this offense another dimension. And like you say they could also look to flip him in a year or two depending on how the college season pans out.

And the bolded part helps on a couple fronts. it helps add a dimension to the offense while maybe spelling Wentz and keeping him out of RPO/contact drawing type plays, while also adds some film to Hurts resume for teams who think there's enough there that maybe he can be the next Lamar Jackson. Combining all of this with whatever this Fall brings for college football and scouting not being as reliable or present as it used to be, there's no reason for Howie to not demand a kings ransom back for Hurts, if a QB needy team comes calling.
June 30, 20205 yr If there is no college football then there is probably no NFL either. Not sure why some would think one could play out a whole season and not the other

I know what you mean but there's a greater chance the NFL season happens and not the college season in my opinion.

You don't think everytime there is more then 3 or 4 players contract the virus they won't shut down camp or practice then have to quarintine the entire team ? Either way the point is I highly doubt Howie and the scout team did tons of research on players and put all that time in to come away with taking Hurts because the virus would not allow a college football season. Especially since the bulk of the scouting and research was done before we knew anything about the coronavirus.
June 30, 20205 yr The Hurts pick remains as idiotoc now as the day it occurred. They just freaking signed Wentz to his deal.....why do that then waste resources like a 2nd round pick on a bench warmer? Granted Eagles 2nd rd picks seem to blow regardless but this Hurts pick took the obscene nature of it to another level

It's time to invest in the future, if that continues to occur. Not exactly rocket science.
June 30, 20205 yr I suppose it was the end of the world for the Patriots too when they drafted Garoppolo in the second round

I don't need idiotic rhetoric thrown at me in an attempt to justify it or "understand" the FO narrative. Yeah, some like this pick and but I tend to think they give to much credit to the unconventional approaches of Howie. This will be an "I told you so" very soon.

If Hurts demonstrates enough this season, given there is now very likely not to be college football until spring, if at all, I can see some team not wanting to risk a high draft pick on a quarterback who will potentially not have played in over a year because of COVID and instead offer a serious package of picks and maybe players for Hurts. This would be especially true if a team has a QB need and has multiple first round picks.

This is the 3rd and 4th time you are commenting on sheet I post over a month ago things keep changing as have my thoughts on it.
