LeanMeanGM Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 1 minute ago, Iggles_Phan said: I doubt that the Eagles will see a lot of 2 high safety against the Bolts. Leave one safety high, put the second safety just inside the numbers on Hurts' right side... about 10 yards from the LOS.... literally every play. Agreed. Just using that as a jumping off post as I have seen and heard a lot about their run defense and how Eagles will be able to run against them. Chargers were content with the likes of Dak, Mahomes, Carr etc taking the rush yards while trying to stop the big play. I don't think it will be so easy for the Eagles to "just run against them".

JMO. Those were the terms of the deal. Now…Wentz, his agent, and the NFL players union might have something to say about it. There have been a quite a few trades recently (we’ve been involved in THREE, all with qbs, in the last calendar year) that disincentivize the receiving team from using the involved player. When/if a big name player who is clearly the best qb on his team is bench due to the conditions of a trade, it could become an issue. Again, not with teams, but with players, agents, and nflpa. Not sure anyone in the league cares if Howie is pissed or will blame the Colts for not wanting to give up a first if it gets to the point. Howie is the idiot who made that deal. He should have given up a pick to guarantee a first or ask for a 2nd and another pick/player. Per usual he tries to be the smartest guy in the room and ends up being an idiot.

With all the holes they have I think thats there best option It’s the Lions so I’m guessing they are going to take a quarterback if they love one of the quarterbacks that’s sitting there at 1. They took Matt Stafford after they were 0-16. If they don’t love any of the quarterbacks they realistically like you said should trade out of that picks to get a boatload of picks because they’re not one player away.

LeanMeanGM Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 @Iggles_Phan You are correct on that 40 yard throw from yesterday. It's the first drive near the goal line when he rolled right and overthrew Reagor. I think the pass lands in-bounds though so it was charted.

LeanMeanGM Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 2 minutes ago, 4for4EaglesNest said: He is not a starting QB in the NFL. All the learning by the "kid” won’t fix that. The progress the offense has made was based on that realization. Take the ball out of his hands, you have a better chance. That’s not development or helping him. That’s realizing what most of us see. He will not have a live enough arm to make the throws required to be a viable starter. 20 yard outs. Tight seam throws. Tight posts over the middle. He also struggles at running through his reads, checking out of plays and obviously trusting the pocket. He doesn’t have it. He has to jump throw passes that should be routine. Sure can he heave it down the field 50 yards? Of course. But his arm doesn’t make up for his other deficiencies. You can’t speak it into existence. He’s a slightly better Tim Tebow. He's basically just an embryo. Let him grow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not this year. Yea the sweet spot for trading down will be in picks 6-10 for teams looking to add a blue chip defensive player without overpaying, or maybe jumping a team for a QB. But I wouldn’t expect any top 5 trades either at this point of draft process Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If (when) Sirianni tells Lowie he needs a QB to fit his system I believe they will give him that chance, and acquire a QB who can operate it. Well I'm not convinced that guy is going to be available in 2022... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put Minshew or even Sinnett in and see if Sirianni's scheme is really this bad or if its Hurts that just can't run an offense. I agree with you. I was actually a little bit disappointed yesterday because they did bring in Minshew in the fourth quarter... And proceeded to then run the ball. Now I get that the game was out of hand and we were managing the game but I'd have liked to see Minshew get a chance to express a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikas83 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Please just stop with the insane conspiracy theories about the Colts and Wentz. Assuming the Colts aren't mathematically eliminated after 12 weeks (which is damn near impossible), there is NO WAY IN HELL they are benching Wentz for Jacob Eason or Brett Hundley. Doing so would 100% cost Frank Reich the locker room and his job. It's just an utterly ridiculous proposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be a slew of guys available: Not coming to Philly -- Deshaun Watson, Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson Draft eligible but more RB playing QB -- Willis, Corral, Ridder Draft eligible short guys -- Howell, Rattler Draft eligible but not 1st round locks -- Pickett, Strong Draft eligible but injured and might not declare -- Shough Likely UFA -- Jimmy G It's going to depend on organizational philosophy moving forward. Do the Eagles truly want the next Russell Wilson, without realizing Russell Wilson is a unicorn of sorts? Do they want a placeholder while they wait for a top-tier QB prospect?
