🤣 We will talk at the EOY. I rather pay Jalen $2M on a year for his leadership &  potential than $35M for a dead man walking like Wentz. Q1

He was basically a rookie last year. Had some duds, but had some good ones with very Lil WR help. I expect to see a jump here. They gave Wentz 5 years for that junk.

Counterpoint:  He stinks.

How does he stink if they went to playoffs with being picked to only win 4-6 games before the year? Jalen Reagor was his starting WR. Need to see more here, before coming to that conclusion after his rookie year as a FT starter.

It would've been harder to miss the playoffs given their opponents and division they play in

Liberty's Hugh Freeze Just Had a Long Phone Call with Eagles about Malik Willis | Rich Eisen Show

I am not intrigued that the assistant special teams coach was who the Eagles had call about Willis.  Sounds like due diligence, as the Eagles always do, based on a bit of a relationship but not exactly Howie, Weidl, or even Nick, Shane or BJ.  Could be a bit of an attempt by the Eagles to find out who might be interested enough to do something like jump the Saints.  Could be Pittsburgh.

Who is talking about Wentz, besides you?

They play in the same crappy division every year...

 Not sure why anyone calls it a torn ACL, which it was, but lots of players have come back from that surgery like Joe Burrow.  Wentz’s knee injury was worse than RG3’s that basically ruined his career. Wentz also tore the LCL, IT Band, and had meniscus damage. 
 His knee was obliterated, and probably why his lower body throwing mechanics went to crap soon after. 

The ACL (and more) injury ruined his legs, the back injury affected his arm, and Nick Foles swinging his big D while holding the Lombardi fractured his mind and spirit. Wentz COULD have been a top 5-10 guy for the prime of his career but those 3 things broke him physically and more important, mentally.

Everyone wish Mac Jones the best of luck for 2022.  Apparently it's the Patriots plan to have Joe Judge work with the QBs this season.

Why do people still talk about Carson Wentz & his potential? He is what he is. He is a journeyman starting QB at this point who is close to 30 yrs old. Can't believe that he's conned another team into giving him 30 something million a year, based on a good year, 5 years ago, LOL. If Franch Reich with a good running game couldn't fix him, Washington would be the last team on the planet to remedy that deal. I look forward to beating him twice a year, while he plays Hero Ball! Got a 10 cent brain and happy to have Jalen, who may not have the same skill set, but works at his craft and has more upside at this point.

Yup I don't think hurts is the answer but right now at this point id rather have him than Carson.

Carson's game was built on his ability to extend plays with his athleticism, the injuries have sapped him of that ability and he's not a fast enough processor within the pocket to make up for that drop of athleticism but he's stubborn in that he  still thinks he can make those plays.

Where as hurts has no where near the arm talent Wentz does but he's not stubborn enough to think he does, he very much plays within his limitations and to his strengths, just wish his strengths were more as a passer than a runner.

Kind of a shame.  Some of these throws are wow.  

 

 

He was special pre-injury.  His throws, the pocket presence and his ability to use his legs when needed made him unstoppable in 2017.  That year, you almost had the confidence that every pass would be complete.  The seem routes to Ertz, you always had the feeling of here comes a big play.  It's really a shame what happened to him physically.  Who knows what toll that took on his mentality either.  Biggest fear is he discovers that same talent down in DC.

If we needed a slot, Jones is a no brainer, but I can’t justify it with our current roster to take a return specialist in the top 100. And Flott could bulk up and learn the outside spot but is he better than McPhearson, Gowan, etc. We have a ton of developmental outside guys already. If they’re gonna take a CB it needs to be a guy who can win CB2 spot. 

Jones is just too small for a slot CB in the NFL.  Tackling TEs isn’t his forte at all.  Fortunately for him Christian Trahan plays for UH.   I am looking forward to the McPhearson, Gowan battle in TC.

Not quite sure Jalen is necessarily the LT answer, but the guy has had one year and can develop into a solid more well rounded QB, especially with a great running game & offensive line. He can buy himself time to make enough plays. Like to see him with better WRs before forming that opinion conclusively.

If he did not rediscover it with Frank Reich and continued to do the same stupid things in Indy, then I doubt he ever will.

Daxton Hill in the 3rd would be incredible.  Actually, all of this would be incredible.

He has everything going for him...everything except for arm strength, accuracy, decision making, timing, reading defenses, making it past his 1st read.

Better WRs? How many times did he miss an obnoxiously open Watkins? Smith? Goedert?

Correct. He would only be on the field in 3 WR sets. I for one am looking forward to the McPhearson/Gowan/Booth competition.

Becoming a bigger and bigger fan of Ebiketie in the high second. I'd go DT/CB in the first, trade up into the 33-40 range with 51 and 101 and grab Ebiketie as my DE.

That's the point. By messing with the sliders, it's completely unrealistic. :lol:

Eagles have to replace the top three positions in their scouting group after the draft.  If they do it from within, they don’t have a lot of diversity.  I wonder if they have had any interviews and are just respecting the draft process and waiting for after free agency and the draft as they proposed as a rule, or if the interviews wait until after the draft.
