I am on record as thinking Hurts is not good enough. but we will find out alot about our new coaches as well. It only clears some of that. Howie is already dipped in to about $25M for next season in dead money. And he has not yet begun to kick the can some more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utebird Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 12 minutes ago, Bacarty2 said: Heard multiply reports, from multiply outlets that Mullens is the best QB in Camp and it's not even close. Nick Mullens starting games. Howie is an out of the Box thinker. He's the only GM that gave a back up QB(Flacco) more money than than he made the year before after a career worse year Usually when guys have bad years they make less on the free market than the year before. Howie though doesn't play by conventional rules as he'll over pay for flacco not just this year but next year after he cuts him as well🦧 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SB52 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 1 hour ago, Penn7980 said: Flacco may be the #3 QB at this moment. Yes, it is early. By the reports thus far, he has not shined. He has a rich guaranteed contract which may be hard to cut him. Nice handi-work that Howie has done. Flacco was much better than both Hurts and Wentz last season. I don’t see a problem having Flacco as a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas Eagle Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Eagles need to sign/trade for a WR (needed to anyways even when Smith was healthy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliEagle Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 1 minute ago, eaglesflyers#1 said: If this were last year's luck, he would be out for the year. All things considered, it could've been worse. At least now he should be ready for the opener and we don't have to risk him in meaningless preseason games. It does suck from the standpoint he is missing reps that he needs. But, I think his talent is unique and I don't think he needs those snaps quite like other young WRs need them.

GoEagles5921 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I personally am shocked that a "minor” injury has already turned into week to week. I’ll be shocked if he’s ready for week 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WentzFan11 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 I wish we signed Bortles instead of Flacco. The injury bug starts now 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think there’s any correlation between low weight and injuries. If a knee gets sprained, it gets sprained - whether you’re 160 or 250. Ligaments, tendons, etc have nothing to do with weight.

Khani1 Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Typically speaking, a larger person would have larger bones/more bone density and their muscles, ligament, etc are larger/stronger than a thinner person's would be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
