So as if the Pro Bowl wasn't already a big enough joke, players can now ride their teammates coattails to the Pro Bowl with the "1 retweet = 1 vote" on a tweet the team puts out that has 10 players listed. 

Also "Twitter Pro Bowl votes count double on December 16th and 17th"

 

So stupid.

Eagles - 52

Jets- 3

Prediction....Hurts has 6 total TD's.  3 Passing, 2 running, 1 swaggering.  RB's get 5 carries total.  Air Hurts is going to take over the Jets skies above Met Life.  

You feeling ok?

Maybe they should make a new exhibition game instead of the Pro Bowl called the Blow Bowl.

It would be all the busts, early round disappointments, failed draft picks playing against each other.  Might be more entertaining than the regular Pro bowl to see all the stiffs of the NFL play each other so we can laugh at them.

Also, the Eagles would probably be well represented in that game.  JJAW,  Reagor, Barnett and Hurts at least.

Putting you both on ignore because you clearly don't know what's good.

Is this the Greend we had a few years ago, when he kept predicting a loss and we kept winning? 

Eagles 28

Jets 16

 

Miles Sanders has 150+ total yards.

Yes, that was Greend who would do the reverse jinx each week and predict the Eagles to lose during the SB season.

From Blitz Alerts (@BlitzAlerts): IS JALEN HURTS THE FUTURE IN PHILADELPHIA?

Blitz, no need to yell at me! I don’t think, quite honestly, any decisions have been made on that, but I do think Hurts’s progress gives the Eagles some level of flexibility in how they handle the quarterback position going forward. And I think Philly coach Nick Sirianni deserves credit here too, for being flexible on offense, and incorporating concepts that worked for Hurts at Oklahoma (which is one reason the run game has blown up of late).

My guess is Hurts will play well enough the rest of the year to where the Eagles go into the offseason with their options open. They’ll have three first-round picks, but this is the sort of quarterback class where Howie Roseman & Co. will look at their options and believe earnestly that Hurts is a better one than any of the kids coming out (I’d bet my mortgage there’ll be teams this spring without a first-round grade on any of the quarterbacks).

That’d leave the Eagles with the veteran names we’ve all heard. I don’t think they’d necessarily be a suitor for Aaron Rodgers. Russell Wilson? Maybe, since he’s the one who got away—Roseman, Andy Reid and Philly planned on taking him in the third round in 2012 before the Seahawks got him 13 picks in front of them (the Eagles wound up with Nick Foles instead). Then, there’s Deshaun Watson. That one, I think, would be a real possibility, especially if there’s more clarity on his legal situation in a few months.

And if not, then Hurts would get another year to prove himself worthy of being the guy there. Really, overall, it’s not a bad spot for the Eagles to be in—with a guy they like in house, and on a rookie contract, with the ability to go get an upgrade if they see one they like.

So basically a TATER voices his opinion on his own blog calls himself an " insider" and some how were supposed to give him more credence than GayLordFocker???

Tired of random articles trying to get clicks with the Watson to Philly bait.

I ain't biting.

I would prefer Watson over Wilson, but he doesn't wanna come here. He wants MIA and then DEN, and most likely CAR over PHI.

It's Albert Breer

Kirk is this generations Matt Hasselbeck 

I actually think you hit the nail right on the head there.  That's a perfect comparison.

Good enough to make you think he can be the guy.  Bad enough to not actually win anything.  In the end, totally serviceable and average.

Ummm it’s albert breer who said that. BGN just provided the link to it. 

Well one hasn't practiced in two weeks and one hasn't missed practice, so obviously.

QB runs would just make him #1. Don't know what you mean by "is it the QB?" when the metric is "most helped" and valuating everyone around but the QB.

I'd give credit to Stoutland and Sirianni over Roseman for something like this. 

Howie picked the players and HC. Hurts has good talent around him. 

Based on the table, the conclusion should be that Howie picked a good roster, but a bad QB.

He gets credit for the players but he's not creating or teaching the blocking scheme and not drawing up plays to get guys open.

Hiring the right people is a skill. 

Wasn't Nick Lurie's guy? Howie was in favor of McDaniels, no?

Matt Hasselbeck led his team to a Super Bowl. Unfortunately, he was on the wrong side of what was clearly a rigged game.

(I don’t throw that term around. When I watched Lakers/Kings and Super Bowl XL I was convinced, at the time, that I was watching a rigged game.)

You can win with Hasselbeck and Cousins. Everything just has to line up perfectly. You won’t have a dynasty, but both could possibly get you one.
