Sudfeld is the new Chase Daniel, sticking around the league for years longer than way more talented college QB's from the same year, Sudfeld is still on a roster but Christian Hackenberg, Kevin Hogan and Connor Cook are all on the street, they weren't great but I thought Hogan and Hackenberg had a shot at being decent back ups at least, and I would've taken all of them to have a longer career than Nate Sudfeld.

D-Shiznit Posted June 9, 2021 Share Posted June 9, 2021 I remember hearing from some NFL talking head that the #1 job of the #2 and #3 QB is to help get the #1 QB get ready for game days. It's part of the reason Charlie Batch lasted so long, Big Ben went to bat for him and said he needed him in the QB room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure if a few other players called to talk to him that are on other teams he would say he would like to play with them also.

brkmsn Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 The whole "Watson wants out" thing started when he complained that he didn't have any say in personnel decisions. Does anybody really think he'd get that here? We may have the draft capital to make the trade, but he would just be a malcontent here with no input. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that said.... Wentz made some ridiculous plays that year that not many QBs would have made. Any of them game savers? dunno.. I will say that right now, id take Watson over Wentz 100x out of 100. None of us, or anyone else would have been able to make that decision in 2016.... I'll take Hurts over both of them now. Got to give Hurts a chance.

Getting Watson would cost at least 3 first round pick in addition to paying him $39M/year. We also don't know his suspension status. Remember how trading up for Wentz didn't work out long term? Wentz has a injury history (BTW, he has a foot injury now). What makes you think trading for Watson will work out? Who's your answer then? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EazyEaglez Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 No doubt Watson is an elite level talent, but I feel like if he were here this team would basically be spinning it’s wheels to nowhere fast. I hope they focus on building a team rather than trading away a bunch of assets for this guy, because I don’t see the Eagles as contenders just cause here here. So many off the field issues to go with the two injuries. Heck this dude has missed more games than Carson. I really hope they pass on this guy.

He's going to want a market setting deal, and Mahomes minimum cap hit in the ten years of his deal when his extension hits is $27.5million (which we can't afford), after that it's $35 - $40million a year. Kirk Cousins carries a cap hit of $31million this year. Dak Prescott $33million next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain F Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Offer them.... 2 first in 2022 First in 2023 BUT...... Make them all conditional. If he gets suspended for X amount of games, one of the 2022 firsts becomes a 2nd. Misses the entire year, both 2022 picks become 2nds. And so on and so on...

You can't make picks conditional for picks we don't have. We don't know yet if we'll get a 1st or 2nd rd pick from the Wentz deal which means we only currently have 1 2nd rd pick in 2022.

He's facing 10 criminal complaints of sexual assault and 2 of the alleged victims haven't joined the civil suit so they can hardly be accused of looking for a payday. There isn't a GM in the league that could risk a pick on this guy as it stands. Some are saying the League would block any trade proposal now anyway. I place on record again my belief that the Eagles would be foolish to get involved, it's a bad move with where the roster is and also blockbuster trades nearly always leave the team that ponies up multiple ones looking a complete horses ass down the road. This whole thing has bad vibes 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles Posted August 5, 2021 Share Posted August 5, 2021 I believe that the Eagles will consider a deal, but only once there is much more clarity on the situation for them to make a good call. He is an elite talent and we need a QB. While he is immediately found guilty and sentenced on Reddit, Twitter, and EMB, the rest of the world still waits on a final resolution. The team is just gathering facts and waiting to see where it goes. If the stories are all true, he is done (and probably in jail). If not, I'd expect Howie to take a shot.
