Reagor is fast, but he doesn't run good routes. That's the problem. 

Not only that when it doesn’t go his way he half asses it and pouts. Along with being unpolished Which was exactly why Daniel Jeremiah said he wouldn’t take him in the first round.

You know who would be a better WR to have drafted?   Any of the next 6 that were taken in that draft, but I'm partial to that guy that went right after him... what was his name again?   

 

 

 

 

Oh yeah.... Jefferson.  The guy I was touting during that entire draft process, up to and including draft night.  Shame they don't listen to me.  We'd have Chris Godwin and Justin Jefferson instead of Sydney Jones and Jalen Reagor.  Oh well, I look forward to Howie's next miss.

Prediction: Eagles win out. 

 

Every game that remains on the schedule for the Eagles is a game that they should win with the exception of the Cowboys in week 18 but I also think the Cowboys rest starters that week.  The Eagles don't play any of the top 20 QBs in the league the rest of the season, again with the exception of Dak but I don't think the Eagles play him in week 18.  This defense can't stop a team with a top 15 QB but when they don't play a QB that would fall in that top 15 they can hold their own.

At this point I’m just tired of Afan’s constant says one thing weeks later he gets caught saying another thing. On top of it makes bs excuses that he knows aren’t true like all good offenses when they play 5 playoff teams managed to find themselves down 17 or more in 4 of the 5 games and compiling garbage time stats. But clearly i see the tampa, Arizona, rams, Buffalo and Dallas putting up garbage time stats down 3 scores or more in 80% of their games against playoff teams.

Dangerous, maybe.  Armed, no. Well, always a knife on me traveling and the "rock hammer” (son of a geologist) in my car got called a concealed weapon by a cop on a stop when I was 19. He was less than thrilled by the hand axe in my wheel well too.  

Guns for me are primarily for hunting, which I have retired from.  Best deterrent weapon is the sound of a Mossberg or Remington pump action shotgun. I liked pump action for goose hunting because I might get off two shots on a V. My dad would aim for an hit the lead goose. I would aim for and it on my game, hit the third goose.  But I could take out 75% of the clay pigeons.  The geese and clay pigeons have little to worry about nowadays. 

Now with my sister living in the Hill Country which has more damned deer than we have in central PA, if possible, I am tempted to grab the 30.06 next time I visit her, probably early December.  Them varmints need some population control. A few weeks ago when I was there, I could have shot a twelve point buck from her porch.  Went to the Ace and three of the people ahead of me were buying salt licks a month before season.  Training the deer to come to the salt lick close to the deer blinds, I would guess. Probably buying deer corn too

It's still negligent homicide at the very least, going into a volatile situation with a gun and playing at being vigilante would qualify as "depraved indifference to human life," similar to drunk driving in that a bad ending is foreseeable.

He wasn't a business owner protecting his property, he was a self-appointed vigilante from out of town who wanted some excitement, and helped provoke an incident.

What's amazing is with all the armed fools running around, more people didn't get shot. And Rittenhouse wasn't the only fool, there were stupid people on both sides, but there's a reason we have police, amateurs please stay home.

 

My guess is that he gets manslaughter or murder 3 plus an assault on the paramedic. The horizontal angles on the first death, shots three and four aren’t good for him.

Ehhh wrong. Thats not how the law works. Nice try though. 

 

Out of all the 4 poeple involved he was the only one who went there with good intentions. He is a better person than I am, cause I would not willingly put myself in harms way to help people like he did. 

 

So protesting is "bad intentions” but traveling out of state, illegally possessing a fire arm and acting as a vigilante is "good intentions "?  He may have gone to protect a specific property, doubtful, but the shootings occurred in the middle of the street and not near the alleged protected property.   

I'm evaluating Hurts against other bridge QBs at this point. Seems like the 2 likeliest scenarios for 2022 are they trade most of their war chest for Russell Wilson or they fall in love with Matt Corral.

If neither of those happens, they likely need a bridge to 2023. Probably trade one of the 1sts for a 1st in 2023 and other picks. 2022 would come down to Hurts vs. the Mariota/Winston/Bridgewater types. I like Hurts on a 2nd round contract more than those alternatives.

They can just have Hurts and Minshew battle for the job in 2022 if Hurts doesn't run away with the job the rest of this season, they don't trade for a QB and don't draft one.

Just saying, it doesn’t really matter what he went there for. That has no merit on the actual case. He didn’t need to be there with a gun. He made a terrible decision that night to carry. 

Not material to the case

If Reagor was cut tomorrow nobody would care 

For the Mailata got paid too early crowd, Cleveland just gave 30-year-old left guard Joel Bitonio (a really good player) a three-year $48M extension. 

He’s getting $16M at LG while Mailata gets $16M a year for four years at a far more valuable position.

I don’t think anyone argued that he got paid too early. But there are a few of us who are hesitant to crown him a HOFer

Find this crazy 

 

Semi-serious post but I’m almost at the point in believing Hurts or someone close to him is paying off media to talk good about him. Listening to Caplan and Mosher and they randomly go into a segment about how in 2023 he can be a really good QB in a place like Seattle and make a deep playoff run or he could become a QB like Kirk Cousins. Also according to Caplan all he needs is an offseason to focus on mechanics to become really good, which brings me to question what the hell was he doing all this offseason? Also why would one more year be a dramatic difference? Outside of Chris Simms it feels like the excuse making is everywhere.

He put in work last offseason and the evidence is his increase in passing accuracy.  To go from 52% to 61.5% is a very impressive jump. Work and improvement isn't complete after just two years.  The rent is due everyday.

I think it’s more cause the lions and chargers game the offense didn’t look incompetent like previous weeks .If the next two weeks the eagles offense doesn’t look very good at Denver and against New Orleans then you likely see it flip again. I actually thought Berman and sheil said it best they changed the offense to a QB that’s not good enough to beat teams consistently throwing the ball and going heavy run and getting him running too. But there’s going to come a point where they run into a good rush defense that forces them to throw. at some point i tend to believe teams will adjust to the eagles heavy run adjustment and force the eagles to throw.

Maybe, I just can’t imagine what those games where the team is admitting to limit him as much as possible to be a functional offense could lead to people saying he could be the next Kirk Cousins or lead a team deep in the playoffs.

As a UGA alum, this is very disappointing. Kirby has this team, especially the defense, playing at an otherworldly level. Zoned in.

First and foremost, the victim deserves justice. Anderson will have to pay for that.

But speaking on just a football level, this year's team is building toward something special. He let his teammates down. He let his family down. Was previously mocked in the early 2nd round. Life changing trajectory now.

Goff’s was 67% last season, that basically got him fired and called a chump by his coach because he only took the easy throws, rarely trying to go down field to open receivers.   
  Hurts arm strength nor his accuracy is his biggest problem, the one really bad issue  Hurts brought with him from college is leaving the pocket to early for no reason as he did on Sunday on the missed TD pass to Smith.  He believed the Chargers were gonna rush 5, but they only rushed 4, Hurts didn’t notice, he back peddled, didn’t get his feet set and threw a bad pass.   
 The 28yd TD pass to Smith was one of his best throws since he’s been in the NFL. He stepped up in the pocket with pressure around him and threw a great pass to Smith.  If he can continue to do that with most of his passes, he’s gonna be fine, if not he’ll be a career b\u.  Look at his 2nd, 3rd, and 4th weakness, it’s all right there.

I don’t think many of us thought Nick Foles when we drafted him hed win us a SB. I love nick. seen him in college, met him college and an awesome guy but I don’t think in my wildest dreams I would’ve thought Nick Foles would bring a Super Bowl to Philadelphia.

That said I think that is an outlier to how you are going to be able to win your second Super Bowl. If you’re going to win that second Super Bowl, I think you’re gonna need a top 10 elite type quarterback. With how many good young quarterbacks there are, there is a good chance you are going to have to beat two or maybe three of those top 10 quarterbacks just to get to that Lombardi trophy. The eagles road to their first SB they got Matt Ryan, case keenum and Tom brady. Now if the Eagles in the NFC have to go through Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady and then get to the Super Bowl and have to beat someone like Josh Allen or Patrick Mahomes i think you need that top 10 QB or you better have such a stacked team that makes up for not having one. 

so to me I look at all this and say do I think Jalen hurts is going to be can be that quarterback when the Eagles need him the most, stepping up and being able to outduel those quarterbacks? At this point I don’t see that. If they feel that way (believe they do) they need to figure out a way they can get a quarterback that can eventually achieve that type of level

They did rush five. Not sure which game you watched to think they only rushed four, but it wasn't the Eagles against the Chargers.
