The Jacksonville franchise is a jag….

Hey... I used that last night.    Get your own joke.

 

Well, at least we aren't the Bears...

Why should they pay him if he's refusing to show up?

I guess we have different opinions of JAG then.  To me a JAG is a guy you can pick up off the street.  McLeod was an above average starter, that's significantly above jag level.  Marcus Epps is a jag.  There's a gulf between where McLeod was in 2017 and where Marcus Epps is now.

Fair Enough 

While McLeod has never been a star I'll always appreciate his 2017 he's not much of a playmaker but he's solid and smart and the eagles in 2017 don't win with out him playing on the back end.

Having said that he's far removed from that 2017 season and at this point is no more than a JAG and as stated it not like in his prime he was anything special but he was better than average.

Give it a few weeks; the Eagles might be "game-time decision" at QB soon if the current trend doesn't change

His brain is injured from when the ball bounced so hard off the rim on a FT and he has had a concussion for 4 months

All he has to say is his shooting arm is broken -- but then he has to prove it hasn't been broken since he entered the NBA.

Never heard of this dude, but I’ll share it anyway.

Love seeing plays where Reagor is wide open for a TD if Hurts just stays in the pocket.

3 weeks of the regular season so far.   He has room to grow into the job.  No reason to pass judgement on him yet.  The entire coaching staff is ridiculously young.  They need to grow into their new roles.  Gotta just be patient and see where it all leads.   My goals for the season have always been about improvement.  Improvement of individual players, and coaches.  I think part of the problem Sirianni is dealing with has a lot to do with the weakness of the roster overall.  AND... they are dropping like flies now.  3 starting OL out to start the game this week.  2 starting OL out to start the game last week.  Top DE and emotional leader gone from the defense.  

 

I thought this was a weak roster before the season started.  It's not getting stronger.

Except those personnel issues aren't the reason the team has looked terrible on offense the last 2 weeks.  He has done a bad job and that's part of the problem.  He hasn't looked incompetent but meh.  He also looks like he's unable to adjust his game plan.  He is going to have some hard decisions coming up and I have no confidence he came make them.

I remember during the broadcast Griese saying it's a rule of thumb QBs don't pull the ball down at all in their own end zone, because of the risk of a holding penalty giving up 2 points.  Lots of stuff wrong there.

@LeanMeanGM

Well, I got solid play from Dillard right last week.  I am going with Kerrigan gets in on a tackle this week.  Mahommes needs a win.  He will get sacked by Sweat this week but feast on the Eagles secondary. Siranni will run the ball more this week. Eagles 17 KC 41.

Apparently there is mutual agreement between Marlon Mack and the Colts to explore a trade.  I sure liked him coming out of college, but there's that medical thing ...

I wonder if Hurts is doubting his own arm. I paused it when the Safety bit on the post route and he was still in the pocket "ready to throw" (reagor at worse is one on one at this point) BUT Reagor is already at the 18 yard line or so and with him running full speed you'd need 50+ yards in the air

I think the game is probably a little too fast for him and he's not processing it quick enough.

In part, I'd say it is.  When the QB can't hit the wide open guy on a crossing route to convert a 3rd down, but forces it to a covered TE and throws it behind him, the offense will look bad.

As for the rest, I agree, he needs to get better at those things.  We'll see whAT he does moving forward.   As for those hard decisions, I'm not sure he's allowed to make them.

Man I hate Ben Simmons.

Evaluating who on defense?  Nelson on a one year rental is playing instead of McPhearson.  Epps is playing because Wallace is hurt but Wallace hasn’t shown much when he has played.  Scott is hurt but Maddox in his last year of rookie contract isn’t being evaluated.

Wilson on a one year rental isn’t being evaluated. Edwards in his third year isn’t being evaluated. Avery in his final year on his rookie contract has been a bust trade and isn’t being evaluated. Johnson, maybe being evaluated a bit.  Taylor is a no show so far and Bradley isn’t getting much in playing time.  So of the LBs, maybe Johnson getting evaluated a bit.

On the DL we have seen Williams but we expected to see him. But evaluating would mean even more playing time.  Jackson only because of the loss of Graham. Marlon T, just barely. 

That’s not player evaluating that is pretty much Gannon has so little to work with that he is playing most of them.  The age is pretty much limited.  Of course, they will add youth in 2022 because they have no money for free agents and the cupboard is bare. What concerns me is it is the same group of evaluators and decision makers that let the cupboard be so bare.  This is going to be an extended rebuild.  Time to rebuild the evaluation group was last spring after the draft. 

The guys you start with aren't necessarily the guys you end the season with - lots of young players sit for half a season, and Gannon tries to rotate everyone, so players who are buried on the depth chart now may get more and more reps - and players on the PS who look good in practice will get a shot to show its real.

Once you're realistically out of playoff contention it's easier to play young players without losing the clubhouse, the veterans understand, it was up to them to win games to make the GM think of this as a playoff team, so they know that if the team is 2-7 it's inevitable is that they'll lose PT to younger players.

I remember Aaron Rodgers saying the game slowed down for him once he learned to focus on where the defensive players were moving after the snap, rather than his own receivers.  He already knew where his guys would/should be, so he didn't need to scan for where they were.

It goes back to the visual processing and anticipation that @Connecticut Eagle has been discussing.

That's why you have to be patient, if Hurts looks this bad in game 12, well, that's a different story. What you want to see is the game to slow down for him

Part of his problem (and Lawrence et al) is in college, the QB wins games, in the NFL, the HC wins games - by that I mean a good NFL QB isn't the offense but runs the offense. The best example I've seen is Vince Young, who was "superman" in college but couldn't run a pro offense.

That's what Hurts has to learn to do or he's history.
