He has only missed games due to injury in 2 of 13 seasons since he became the starter.

Wow, that's pretty impressive. Not sure he has Brady's drive though.

I would love for someone to answer who was the best at developing punters. Underrated and under appreciated position 

Sorry the subject did not measure up for you. It’s the most important position in sports and worth pursuing.

He knows how to slide, get out of bounds, or just throw it away

Apparently that's a unique skill lol

I'm allowing myself to indulge in some preseason optimism. Imagine...

Hurts proves to be a legit starter.

Devonta is the #1 many of us think he is.

Reagor and Quez become legit starters.

Mailata and Sweat take the next step, fortifying two premium positions.

3 first round picks.

Wait. He throws it away and still has a respectable completion percentage? That simply can’t be.

If those happen were probably a top 5 team in the conference.

I got thinking about this last night too, would be monumental for team going forward but obviously very unlikely. 
 

in the hypothetical that does come true, those 3 first round picks id hope Eagles could target OL/DL/DB.

Hurts proving he can actually play would be enormous, even if the other things don't happen (I think most of them will). Not having to waste picks to move around for a QB would be amazing. Howie sucks at drafting but maybe we can try trading for established players instead

LG & RG & RT. Brooks was on trading block this year, and both him & Lane are 31. Only bring LG up because Seumalo is set to be a free agent in 2022 I believe or the year after. Besides, it’s noticeable how much better this offense runs when Eagles OL is at full strength, it’s important to keep investing in that group with top talent.

Are Lane and Brooks even tradeable with their contracts?

Has there been reports of Seumalo getting an extension?

I don’t get hating Wentz either.  But to each their own.  You guys should be kinder to your fellow man.  

He sucked towards the end, didn’t listen, wasn’t coachable.

Not sure if they’re tradable, but I do recall Brooks acknowledging he was on trading block this year. Haven’t seen any reports on Seumalo extension. It’s possible things change, but at this point the way I view things is even though Lane/Brooks are dominant if healthy, there’s still that issue of the "if”. Their injuries are becoming more of a problem & they are now in their 30’s. As for Seumalo i think he’s decent but replaceable.

Meh.  Sucking is no reason to hate a guy.  The last two is presumed.  He’s a good dude.  Hate is a strong word.  

Fair point.  When I say hate, I mean as our QB, not in real life.  I don't care what they do in their personal life but if I was rating him on that, yes, he is a good dude.

Stock Up

Jalen Hurts

 Hurts has mostly been up and down, and early in camp the offense in general put together some of ugliest practices I've ever covered. That wasn't all on Hurts, but his performances didn't help. More recently, however, Hurts has looked much better. He made some nice throws in the preseason game against the Steelers, and he very clearly outperformed Cam Newton and Mac Jones in a pair of joint practices with the New England Patriots this week. His accuracy has improved over the last week or two, and he has demonstrated a command of the offense.

Disliking is fine but Yeah hate should be reserved for guys like Greg Hardy & Ray Rice

Thanks everyone, you peeps are pretty awesome humans.  Exceptionally mediocre as I like to say at work.

My soccer team is going to be practicing till 7:45 tomorrow, thats more like 8. Eagles game starts at  7:30. So Im gonna need to ask that no one discusses the game until I get home and catch up on DVR tomorrow. 

Thanks.

You could miss the soccer game and no one would even notice.  18 of the 22 players on the pitch at any given time are just standing around soaking up pasture 

Hurts being better than Jones and Cam is nice to hear, but how hard is it to be better than Jones and Cam?

I wouldn’t be surprised if Flacco is better than those two
