And if he is... AVOID. I think Corral is a better passer than being a RB playing QB. He's got a hell of an arm but yes he does need to run a little less especially given his size. Ridder is not accurate enough in my opinion but I guess many said that of Josh Allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? I think there’s a chance Wilson would come to Philly, a chance… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SB52 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 25 minutes ago, vikas83 said: 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. The only thing ridiculous is simply assuming the Colts won’t be 4-8 and Wentz won’t be a major reason why. Until they beat the Jets and Jaguars a small, but very real possibility remains that the pick becomes a 2nd rounder. That’s just a fact. This chance (barring injury) would be zero had they won yesterday. Brett Hundley was just release. Eason was released a while ago. Sam Ehlinger is the backup QB.

WentzFan11 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 You guys do understand draft picks aren’t locks right? Wentz is not going to say "please bench me so we can draft X”. Wentz was pissed off when he was playing like crap and was benched. Imagine benching him when he’s playing well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he's that good and I think he's going to struggle in the NFL. But hey there's things to work with. Definitely agree this is the year to build that defense mostly.

Yup. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/colin-kaepernick-nfl-comeback-training/ October 14, 2021 "I am still up at 5 a.m. training five, six days a week making sure I'm prepared to take a team to a Super Bowl again," Kaepernick told the publication. "That's not something I will ever let go of, regardless of the actions of 32 teams and their partners to deny me employment. The same way I was persistent in high school is the same way I'm gonna be persistent here." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austinfan Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 2 hours ago, Swoop said: Afan: "Jalen Hurts is a top 27 quarterback who can compile garbage stats, beat the only teams that are in a worse state than the Eagles and can run for days. If you got him a young Alshon on the left, he'd instantly stop leaving the pocket, be able to read the field and go on to be a terror in the NFC East. AMAZING value at 53." Also afan: "Ben Roethlisberger was never a franchise QB because he's fallen off the past two seasons as his career comes to a close." 🤡🤡🤡 I have always considered posters who make up stuff to play "gotcha" to be the most obnoxious posters on any message board. The advantage of age is I don't get irritated anymore b/c I realize there are no controls for age or maturity on a message board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wussbasket Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 A really good defense can help mask a lot of deficiencies on offense. I don't see the Eagles having a shot at a franchise QB in the next year or 2, so they would be wise to heavily invest in the defense this draft.
