The 237 start test. 

Seems like at 237 games he should be more proven.

I don't think it will be an issue.  He wears gloves too and still can sling it around no problem.  I would think if having small hands were an issue then wearing gloves wouldn't help. 

Significantly small hands. 3/4 inch shorter than Goffs

Their big win so far was in LA over the Chargers; no idea how they held them to 17 points — mind you, they also only scored 20.  They barely beat NE and barely beat CAR.  
 

I still see TB, GB and ARI better right now.  LAR about the same as DAL in the hierarchy.  

Dallas was up 36-14 to start the 4th quarter against Carolina. Carolina pulled an eagles and had a bunch of garbage time scores

I hate when teams feel they need to copy us.

What's the word on Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson?

The Eagles were in active pursuit of Watson, sources said, but Watson has a no-trade clause and has reportedly waived it only for the Miami Dolphins.

With as many as three first-round picks in April's draft -- two of which are projected to be in the top 10-- Philadelphia is best positioned to pull off such a trade from a resource perspective. Given Watson's stance, as well as the uncertainty about his future amid 22 lawsuits alleging sexual assault and inappropriate behavior, there's little chance he would end up with the Eagles prior to the deadline.

However, the Eagles will be front-and-center on the quarterback front this offseason with veterans such as Seattle's Russell Wilson, Green Bay's Aaron Rodgersand perhaps Watson all available.

Quarterback factory that’s why.

Historically small hands. If he starts next year, he'll have the smallest hands of any starting QB in the league by a large margin. This will be an argument all offseason, spare yourself for now.

Depends on if the rumors are true at 8 1/4”, that’s like 12yr old girl hand size plus the larger NFL ball, and he has a good arm, not a great arm.

Just to point out Miami is also a dumpster fire right now but it is Miami 

Rodgers or Wilson coming here? LOL

You're surely not implying that Philadelphia is not as attractive as Miami with its no state income tax and sizzling hot girls ...... are you?

More likely to get Nicky 6 on a 3rd stint.

Ridder looking pedestrian against Tulane , not a fan of Ridder . I just don’t see it with him , so mechanical , isn’t asked to do much with reading Ds , shotgun QB  in a run first offense

Nope, and it’s a shame because he doesn’t have the confidence that he should, and it’s probably why in stretches, he makes Vick look like Joe Montana.   He’ll get into a series of downs where he plays like every scout and NFL GM is watching him play, that very second. 
 

It’s BS Nick Foles is not our QB right now. Would probably be 7-0

Pickett rolling now , reminds me of Burrow

I’m not sure what these people are considering as fair compensation for Watson but the max I’m giving up for him is 1 of our first rounders. Given the uncertainty with legal situation and the fact that he is most likely to at least get a decent sized suspension anyway, I don’t think the risk is worth 2 or 3 potentially high first round picks.

BUT they have a minority HC and GM which was one of his gripes about the Texans and one of his requests.
