Hey, at least we haven't had any combat waivers yet.  Right?

His knee injury changed him and then he did not want to learn the position and could not work with Gruden.  He was robbed of a chance at the Super Bowl when in Minnesota.   

Yup Vikings Broncos would have been a much better super bowl than watching the broncos wreck the falcons.

Freaking Gary Anderson public enemy number one in Minnesota.

I like to imagine he and Scott Norwood hang out in a bar just the two of them sharing shots watching their makes.

Hardly.  He's a long lost cousin of mine.

That guy is long gone, I believe.   I think he was a vet dealing with PTSD, etc.    I do hope he got himself some help.

lol

They might miss with the shots though.

The Giants game on Sunday was an exception to that in my opinion.  I was tracking rushing yards hoping the Eagles would once again get to 175 or 200 and Hurts chose on several occasions to throw a short pass at the end of his scramble rather than continuing with the scramble past the line of scrimmage.

Yup, I think the Giants after that first game kind of got in his head but he responded well enough to win second time around

Along with the big plays he's made should be enough to put him in the all pro conversation

Haha yes it was a bit tongue in cheek, but Lowie has erased a lot of trust. I agree, I'm happy we're in a playoff race and our recent success has been good despite the prevalent negativity. This offseason will be critical for us, with all that draft capital, a draft that looks to have a lot of defensive talent, and our need for said talent, we have to get it right. 

So far, Smith, Dickerson and Gainwell look to be good picks. 

WTF has Gainwell done to get such love?  Yet no love for Jackson, Williams or McPhearson?

I wanted no part of Cunningham getting anywhere near a Super Bowl.  Never learned the playbook, never studied film, never put the work in with the Eagles.  I was gleeful when ATL beat the Vikings and, to be fair, ATL were 14-2 that season.  They were no slouches.

I felt conflicted when Reggie won the Super Bowl with the Packers; hated seeing him go to another team but understood the organization never offered him an adequate contract.  I never felt any such conflict about Cunningham

I do. But when people respond i see it and he’s basically all he does.

He played a lot early on... not sure.

I’d love to see gainwell play more WR particularly in the slot. I remember reading scouting reports about his time at Memphis and they used him as rb and slot WR. I’m guessing as a rookie they are limiting some of it due to overload. But it would be nice to see them expand his role into that this offseason heading into next year.

There’s no way the NFL is going to have star players missing playoff games for positive COVID tests if at all possible.  Any positives will be announced Mon/Tues to give players time to clear protocol

Randall is one of the main reasons I'm an eagle fan, at the time I didn't understand all of what you mentioned I was just a kid and just really liked watching him make crazy plays.

Older I got the more I heard and read the more disillusioned I became but his comeback story if a humble guy laying tile in Nevada who lost his daughter who happened to get a call from Denny green to come and tryout for the Vikings then the run he went on really endeared me to him again.

Too bad Randall coukdnt have been more humble when with the eagles and hunkered down, then again he didn't have much while with the eagles, no o line no running game a head coach that just told him to make 5 big plays a game his OC that was a close friend died, then to go to a stacked offense in Minnesota with an offensive minded coach behind a really good o line it was a great story and fun watching him shine in that environment.

I would have liked to have seen Randall shine in the big game.

Jackson and McPhearson haven’t done much of anything. Williams has been solid.

Gainwell has flashed way more than all three combined. His usage has diminished, but even in an extremely limited role, he’s still producing. 

 

 

Cunningham's only good coach was Sid Gilman, brought in as a consultant. Rich Kotite as OC also got a god year out of Randall. If he doens't get injured in 1991, they probably win the SB that year, that defense was that good, and Randall with Byars, Barnett and Jackson could have produced enough offense.

When Marion Campbell was coach of the Eagles, he hired a consultant, Sid Gillman, to work with Cunningham on learning the game. According to Merrill Reese, "Sid once gave Randall a film with a piece of paper in the film about a quarter of the way through it. The next day Randall brought the film back. Sid asked if he watched it, and Randall told him that he did and that he learned from it. Sid took the film and saw the paper in the exact same spot."

I was also glad to hear Steve Young acknowledge his running ability during his speech - mainly because I had a great note about his rushing stats that I haven't had a chance to use… until now.

"Sid Gillman would tie my feet with a rope and taught me that playing quarterback was an art form," said Young, talking about the Hall of Fame coach and passing guru who coached Young in the USFL. "He'd proudly say, 'This is not a game. It's a canvas and you are Michaelangelo.' I loved Sid. He convinced me not to listen to the many people who believed at the time… that you could not be a great quarterback if you could scramble. Go figure. That never made much sense to me anyway."

For the record, Young ranks second on the all-time list among quarterbacks with 4,239 career rushing yards. Randall Cunningham is tops on the list with 4,928 yards, but it's worth noting that three of the top four rushing quarterbacks are in the Hall of Fame - Fran Tarkenton is third and John Elway is fourth.

Take it even further, and six of the top 17 rushing quarterbacks of all-time are in the Hall - Bobby Layne ranks 12th, Roger Staubach 16th and Terry Bradshaw 17th.

I get 29.875 total (44+24+30+40+7+33+27+34 divided by 8 ) 26.375 for the Offense ( 37+24+23+33+7+33+27+27 divided by 8 ) and 3.5 for the Defense (7+0+7+7+0+0+0+7 divided by 8 )

So his 29.3 is half a point per game low and your 24 is over 2 points low per game.

First of all, this tweet and analysis was before last weeks game.  Secondly, because it was part of the Hurts discussion, and how he leads a top 10 offense, the Minshew game was not part of the calculation.

So, ( 44-7 ) 37 + ( 24-7 ) 17 + 30 + ( 40-7 ) 33 + 7 = 124.  124 / 5 + 24.8.

Maybe the reports would stop, if instead of warnings, you just posted the top 10 reporters, right here in the blog.  I have a feeling I could name 5 of them quite easily.
