Eagles leadership consulted Reid to get his evaluation of Hurts, sources said, as well as to discuss the dynamics associated with drafting a player of Hurts’ caliber to back up then-incumbent starter Carson Wentz. Reid has experience in this area: He drafted Kevin Kolb in the second round in 2007 when McNabb was entrenched as Philly’s starter; added Michael Vick to the QB room in ‘09; and paired veteran Alex Smith with t kohen-rookie Patrick Mahomes in 2017 with the Chiefs. The Eagles have long valued Reid’s opinion and sought it out before making what proved to be a franchise-impacting decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
315Eagles Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 It's obvious Reid is trying to screw us over. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eagle45 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 Worked out so well for both Mcnabb and Kolb when AR drafted Kolb. Glad we got to redo that one all over again. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_EaglesFan89 Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 I mean it makes sense I guess? Seek out his opinion so on paper it makes sense. But why would a HC of another team want to help any other team in the NFL? That's what I don't quite get. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched Revenge of the nerds movie, and I see a similar plot in this accusation. Yes Reid did recommend Hurts. So what? We had franchise QB in Wentz. Hurts was supposed be sitting on the bench and developing into a backup QB, instead of being thrown into the fire. Circumstances have altered everyone's plans. No Way could anyone anticipate that Wentz would poop his diapers at the very first hint of competition, or we would have Record setting worst offensive line, etc..etc.. Sh;t Happens. There is no connection between evaluating a potential QB and being grossly unprepared to handle NFL reality. This Eagles team needs a psychologist to find its identity, before any progress occurs this season, or the next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the Buccaneers were about to release Al Harris - AR got a heads up from Jon Gruden. Coaching is a brotherhood / fraternity. The only time they are at odds is when facing each other game week. Unless they don't like each other - see Chip Kelly vs the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EazyEaglez Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 When will Howie learn that you don’t draft backup players with high round picks unless the team is grooming that player to eventually become the starter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time2rock Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 They need to solicit advice from outsiders because Howie simply cannot figure this ish out by himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right after he learns not to waist 2nd and 3rd round draft choices, on useless, sick, and unproductive players. Another words ,When the Hell freezes over, or a while after he does get fired for real. But since he is only the owners messenger boy, there is no chance of that happening. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
