I wish "Philly Football” involved consistently accurate passes from a clean pocket. 

Asking for way too much apparently. Which is weird when u look at history. This team never had a "run QB". Only guys who could and/or would run and excel at it. Even Vick as much hate as he gets, dude could always throw,read the field,go through progressions. Cunningham should've won a ring, McNabb also fits the description, they all do for different and similar reasons. One thing they all have in common is they stayed in the pocket and used it.  Hurts doesn't compare in the slightest.

Morbius is definitely awful. And it’s freaking Batman. Not gonna be a daytime movie. 

 

And your explanation for it needing to be nearly 3 hours long? It was definitely slow at parts and definitely could’ve been cut down by at least 30 mins. It was an hour less than zack Snyder’s justice league. Also don’t think mr. Twilight was all that. Also the dark knight series they had Batman fighting Bane in the middle of the day and less dark. It was watching battle scene from GOT at times. I never said the movie sucked. I just said sonic was better than morbius and Batman.   

Just to point out to my original point, sonic 2 by audiences according to rotten tomatoes got a 97%. The Batman got 87%

Nope, just one two years ago + wasted seasons + wasted development of the team

I'm still going back and forth on drafting a QB. Given that next year doesn't have any slam dunks as of yet (though some may certainly rise), I will be okay drafting Corral/Ridder if we don't have to trade up and if we can unload Hurts for good value. In an ideal world we somehow get an additional 2nd this year as well.

Just wait a year. If Hurts is as bad as you think, we'll be drafting in the top 10 with 2 1st round picks and can get a QB.

Ive seen some people on here saying the Eagles should take a QB this year for the sole reason being next year's class is a big question mark. The general consensus since the start of the 2021 collage football season was that the 2023 draft class was significantly better than this year's prospects because Sam Howell and Matt Corral were the two leading prospects going into the season. Basically what im trying to understand is why people want to take a QB this year because they question the prospects of the 2023 draft when we KNOW there arent any slam dunks in this year's draft class. Is it just because they are that tired of watching Hurts and ready to move on and dont feel like waiting for 2023? Like more of a patience issue?

Why wait.  You never know how next years QB class will turn out.  If you like a guy, and can get him now, you do it.

I mean, it is the word of Jeff Lurie in my signature.

No we wont. We thought he was bad last year too and there we were at pick 19.

Yep, you can mask your deficiencies with the OL and running game, exactly like we did last year.

No guarantee that either of our picks winds up top 10, just like with 3 picks this year, the best we got was 15.

You also have 4 other teams with two 1sts next year, the Lions will be bad, if the Hawks do not take a QB so will they, the Texans will probably be top 5 again, and if so will move on from Davis Mills, and if Tua can not get it done with that offense, they will also be drafting a QB.

I believe if they said it was an open competition this year and Minshew would be given every opportunity to start, many would say wait til 2023 to draft one. It's the fact we are looking at a guy who would have to transform every aspect of his passing game to his the level of Minshew as a passer that makes people anxious to move on 

You wait because you don’t like the QBs this year. If the Eagles see a franchise QB in this draft, they’ll take him. They won’t take a guy just to take one. 

We need Howie to trade up.

He can usually pull this off.

I'll preface my post by saying I am absolutely against taking a QB just for the hell of it. You "do your research™️", scout the film, assign a grade, yada yada yada. If you like them and think there is potential and you will be able to develop them, you take them. 

Now, we don't know there aren't slam dunks. It seems underwhelming, but it's been talked about so much that the pendulum is swinging a bit too far to "they all suck" to the point some of these guys are being underrated. Likewise, too many people are saying "next years will be better" when there is nothing to really support that. It seems like every year the running narrative is "next years will be better" until a generational prospect comes out like Luck/Lawrence. Barkley at one point was considered a top QB a year before he entered the draft. Rattler too. So have a ton of guys. It's just not a smart strategy to assume 1) next year will be better and 2) you will be in a position to land them. 

So if you like a guy in this class, take him. 

I wonder if it will the blog will be filled more with depression or continued delusion after the draft when the Eagles don't select a QB in the first.

Going to answer this in the simplest way possible. Yes I'm in a rush for the team to move on at QB. If they believe that guy is in this draft then pull the trigger. We don't have a real QB unless you're counting minshew. So this scenario wouldn't be a bad thing.

He wasn't bad last year which is why we picked 19. 

The biggest argument against Hurts isn't that he's bad...it's that he's average/slightly below average which places us in QB purgatory.

If you're average/below average, you are a bad starter. We are talking about a QB. You can get away with an average RB/TE/LS/MLB/P. It is not a smart strategy to build around an average/below average QB.

I find it hard to believe anyone thinks we take a QB early this year. Maybe we draft someone day three but no way we go for one in the first.

Galko is reading your stuff, @HazletonEagle

He's very intelligent and looks fun to talk to. Great personality.  Fun interview in sure.  Every team has wanted to talk to him. Probably every team loves him because he can play all along the DL. Fits any need. 

He's gonna go pretty early and is extremely under the radar on draft sites.

I’d argue the nfc got much worse this offseason. Rams and Bucs are fine. Packers got rodgers back but lost Adams and likely take a step back. What Dallas done to improve? They’ve also gotten worse imo. San Francisco is debatable depending on what happens with Jimmy G. Either staying status quo with Jimmy G or if they go with lance it’s a huge unknown. Arizona is a crap show right now with everything going on with murray. Saints lost Sean Payton, their starting LT and who knows with kamara but got Winston back. Still think they are a 6-8 win team. Minnesota might be slightly better. Washington got wentz so i guess he’s an upgrade from the QB they had before.

the eagles schedule plays into this because i don’t see the giants, jags, lions, bears and Texans being all that much better in 2022. Add on you get a worse New Orleans and Steelers team. And frankly i think the eagles likely split with Washington this year. Even if they split with the giants again there’s definitely potential at least 8 wins on the schedule. That doesn’t include Minnesota, colts and Arizona which can be coin flip games. Especially if you face Arizona late in the year where they tend to nose dive

Just like no way we go for one in the second a year after giving the current guy a $128M extension?

Am I guaranteeing they do? Nope. Would I be surprised? Nope.

If someone who does not have me on ignore will do me a favor, quote this and @ rtk.

I have a bet for you.

Eagles draft a first round QB, you can never put me on ignore again.

Eagles don't draft a first round QB, I will take a 1 month suspension.

The NFC as whole undoubtedly got worse. But the Eagles haven't really improved over anyone either. Which puts them square at chasing the 7th seed unless they fall completely flat on their face (not likely) or have a 2017 esque breakout season (also not likely).

That was different. He was drafted as a backup. We might draft a backup this year too but no way we go for a replacement.
