one of the drawbacks of the adversarial system in criminal prosecution is that prosecutors are evaluated on wins vs. losses.  In most states, they have incredible leverage over defendants.  It creates an unfair playing field that can become more focused on a criminal result vs. truth.  

I am speaking of the ideal, you are speaking of the reality.  I don't disagree... but the truth should be all there is.   And I'll add that guilty defendants should not get off because of a technicality.  That's not justice either.

Yeah, you need to be patient.  Yes, lots of great QB's have sucked after 16 starts.

And I want to be patient on a 6'4" traditional passer with arm talent....not someone who was benched at halftime by the greatest coach in NCAA history for a QB who really isn't that good at all either...but was still a far better passer.  Not someone who is 6' tall with zero passing sophistication and an arm that ranges from noodle to arguably good enough.  Not someone who was asked by pro scouts if he'd be willing to change positions and was considered by some to be a reach in round 2.  That's not who I choose to wait 3 years to be patient on.

Not that anyone cares, but my timeline on Reagor:

I initially liked him as a prospect before doing any homework because he and Ruggs were considered the two speedsters of the draft.  Then he royally flubbed the combine.  I figured, what good is a speed WR who didn't produce much in college and couldn't even put up the raw numbers at the combine?  2nd or 3rd round.

Then I wanted his college tape a bit more...his elusiveness and deep speed really were impressive.  The Eagles desperately needed speed on offense.  Desperately.  Then his totally fabricated 4.2 gps pro day.

The Eagles really wanted Ruggs, who went much earlier than anyone expected.  Because they were basically humiliated into adding speed on offense, Howie panicked into drafting Reagor, since he was the next best speed WR prospect on the board.

Much like Maclin, Reagor just isn't nearly as fast as his college tape would lead you to believe.  That's why they have you run equalizing drills at the combine (Maclin disappointed there too).  Maclin, however, didn't have a lousy attitude and became a polished, quality route runner.  Reagor is just a slower than expected raw player who runs bad routes.

As the NextGen stats show, Reagor is one of the fastest players in the NFL, his problem is like a lot of guys with speed, he doesn't play fast.

Now this may be due to inexperience, he's not processing fast enough leading to "paralysis by analysis" or he may just lack instincts. But watching him on an end around, he's got the good footwork to cut back, whereas a lot of fast WRs on that play just run out to the sidelines, trying to outspeed everyone.

We're rebuilding, which gives Siri the luxury of trying different things because whether we end up 5-12 or 7-10 is pretty meaningless in the grand scheme. So I expect once Reagor is healthy (ankle injuries are a **** for WRs) he'll get different looks.

Hurts is a great athlete, person, and player, but he is just not a great passer. I was all onboard in the offseason. He said all the right things and put in a ton of extra work. I really wanted Hurts to succeed and do well.

I don't get the OL musical chairs angle. This OL is top 10 even with all of the injuries. Hurts holds onto the ball way too long, even the best OL would have trouble blocking for him. Zach Wilson is the only QB that takes longer to throw the ball than Hurts.

I would love nothing else but to be wrong and Jalen hurts becomes the franchise quarterback for this team for the next decade. You can do so much more if he was that guy.

However lurie and Howie Roseman keep sending you signals that they do not believe he is that guy going forward. Afan wants to keep deflecting and saying it’s not true cause he’s in denial that they’d be willing to go get a Qb. Then again he’s the same guy that made the comment that you need 57 starts to know where the quarterback is.  then randomly changed it to all you need 30 cause of hurts. Meanwhile can make a proclamation on minshew after 20 starts which is only 7 more than Hurts and with a by far worse organization and team 

 since dealing Carson Wentz, theyve tried  to get a quarterback. Literally Adam schefter went on the radio yesterday and said barring something from hurts to change the Eagles minds (howie and lurie) are set on going out and getting a quarterback this off-season. And that really shouldn’t be that surprising because since they traded Carson Wentz they been trying to even so much so much so that they tried for a guy with 22 allegations against and sent their heading security and three other staffers to go investigate. And then talk to Watson’s camp trying to convince him to come there. Not only that he tried to try trade up to get zach Wilson. On top of that Chris Mortensen thinks that Russell Wilson would go to Philadelphia and joe banner yesterday on the John Clark podcast think they’d be all in if he is traded. But all that tells you the Eagles have had no interest in replacing hurts.

The thing by afan that’s most impressive was for an entire year into the off-season trying to convince everyone they drafted him in the second round simply to be a back up and that’s what he is. but now all the sudden because the offense against the lions and chargers down their 2 best corners where he only attempted on average 15 1/2 throws in those two games that he’s clearly on Josh Allen’s development plan

My dog's role would just be to make me aware of the situation... then would go down and likely lick the robber's face off.  Her only adversaries are the mailman and delivery trucks.   Everyone else is a friend and a potential source of a treat.  

 

Honestly though, she'd likely be a pretty good deterrent if they pulled up with a van to put their awesome merch in.  Vans are basically delivery trucks and she'd make her presence known.   An 80 lb. dog that barks loudly that you can't see (she's black as night) is likely going to ward off all but the most brazen criminal.

I hate to break it to afan, but Jalen Hurts will never, ever, not in his lifetime be able to make throws like this.

Reading comprehension is a lost art among the younger generation.

I didn't compare Hurts to Allen, I used Allen as an example of a QB who took three full seasons to become a much better QB.

Though I'll be charitable, I assume you simply didn't understand the reference, and not accuse you of being a troll who deliberately misstated what I wrote to score internet points.

Ignorance is a kinder accusation than malice.

Jalen Hurts does not have close to the physical skills, arm talent that Josh Allen has.  As posted above, the throw Allen makes in that tweet, Jalen Hurts is incapable of making.

My feeling on Hurts is that I would rather they keep him than waste 3 first round picks on a QB that has just as many flaws but more arm talent.  I think that means suffering with him as QB through the 2022 season.  If I trusted the FO and scouts to fairly identify a QB, then I would be less concerned.  The problem is the last one they identified as being a 2nd round talent is the one that does not look like a starting caliber QB nor the Russell Wilson Howie compared him to after he was drafted.

Getting off on a technicality is an expression that I think is used to push an agenda. People have rights to be free from unreasonable searches and seizures.  You have a right to due process and a speedy trial.  Those aren't technicalities.  They are rights that must be enforced in order to be preserved. If someone is not convicted because the state violated those rights, it's not a small thing. The percentage of people getting a charge dismissed or conviction reversed due to a "technicality" is small.  It's more likely there are charges filed that are not supported by facts known to the prosecutor and prosecutors that hold back exculpatory evidence resulting in convictions.

I used to sell security alarms door to door, and we'd ways tell people having stickers or signs in yard in windows that say one has a security system is just as effective at deterring break ins as having a security system is.

The other biggest deterrent  of home break in is a dog. Even if it's a small dog most burgers don't want to deal with the noise, bigger dogs are a bigger deterrent.

So get some alarm signs and if you're scared get a dog, not a gun.

It has been shown that in home guns are more likely to be used against one self or family member/ friend accidental or on purpose than ever being used to defend one self or family member in a home break in or live shooter event.

Getting a dog and some alarm stickers/signs statistically keep you and your family home more safe and secure than a gun.

I don’t even hate Jalen hurts. I had the conversation with Ace nova this offseason about Hurts. I think his ceiling is a top 15 quarterback. And his floor is a backup. I’m sorry I don’t believe that these inflated stats in garbage time I guess playoff teams means oh yeah he’s totally gonna beat Josh Allen. Josh Allen was such a better prospect coming into the pros with his talent then Jalen hurts. The thing they have in common is they came into the league with accuracy problems and could run. Otherwise Josh Allen was a way better prospect and player

Based off what I’ve watched on the all 22 and game day he’s somewhere in the middle from 15 to back up. The problem is you are not winning a Super Bowl beating lousy team cause they aren’t aren’t going to be there in the playoffs or coming close in games against playoff caliber teams cause you put up garbage time stats to make it look respectable. because when you get to the playoffs and you could only average 17 points outside of garbage time you’re not beating those teams
