Hero ball.  Well that’s one similarity they share.  

Murray hasn’t thrown for 30 TDs in a season yet. He’s the champion of being good in September and then tailing off completely. He’s not good enough to win either 

Still 10 times better than hurts, at least

Not familiar with this guy, so TIFWIW.

Howie getting him kicks the he sucks as a GM can down the road another 2 or 3 years. Of course he will make that stupid trade.

He had more completions behind or at the LoS (7) on his left side than beyond it (5).  Plus 14 incompletions plus 1 INT. 

Yup, stack the box with 8 defenders, cut off his running lanes and roll coverage to his right side and you completely neutralize Hurts or worse.

 

12/12 behind the LOS, and 11/31 throwing the ball ….. you know, forward

Yuck

Oh good so nothing to add other than referencing your illustrious career as an EMB scout. Wonderful. 
 

I’ll go ahead and trust the stats over your (assuredly) expansive scouting expertise.

Again, there’s no doubt you have good eyes for football but the Eagles just committed to the guy in 2022. Whether or not you buy Howie’s statements, that’s a step further than they took last year. The stats back up your claim that he was atrocious in 2020; but they generally do not back up your claim that he was bad in 2021. 
 

Why would the same stats be accurate in 2020 but not so in 2021? Unless you have your mind made up and consider yourself an EMB scout, of course.

Instead of spending the next 6 months yelling the same arguments at each other and looking like idiots while doing so, I’m proposing we actually do some digging and figure out what actually took place analytically between 2020 and 2021. I’m convinced the Eagles looked at all of these stats.

Here’s a stat…Our QB threw for 16 TDs. 16. Winston had 2 less TDs in 8 less games. But I mean hey it was better than Sam Darnold and Zach Wilson so he’s got that going for him.

Save your breath and cool your pies.  This is at least the 2nd one like this.  Just speculation at this point.  So many twitter wannabees out there.  We all know Howie makes his rounds asking about other players.  Nothing wrong with kicking the tires.  I know you want an elite QB more than anything, but there's going to be many schmucks on social media posting stuff like this until the cows leave Hell because it froze over.  Or something like that.

FFS, might even be the same twitter-**** (damn, the hyphen didn't work for a reference to the female anatomy starting with a 'T') from earlier today.

Was that an AFan burn?

 

Guys did you hear Howie contacted the Texans about a potential trade for Watson!?

I’m watching the bachelor with my lady tonight, and the girls are playing a full pads on, full contact football game against each other. I’d take either QB over Hurts

Our old friend Kamu Grugier-Hill is one of the coaches

Wasn't there a sexy football league with hot girls wearing lingerie as uniforms?  And how did that not catch on?  Gives a whole new meaning to 'tight end'.

 

Nice win for the 76ers without Embiid.

Damn.  I just chalked that up as a loss.  

Officials tried to as well lol.

I didnt even notice at the time, but that wasnt a bad call by Kate Scott. The real excitement she had there comes across so much better than her usual fake excited growl voice throughout the game.

Drummond had 20+ rebounds.  And Maxey is really starting to look good.

cant tell if we fouled the 3pt shooter on that last play, or if he flopped. Either way, the refs owed us that no call after Curry was fouled on his buzzer beater miss at the end of regulation. He would have won it on the FT line for us but they didnt blow the whistle.

11 minutes ago, 4for4EaglesNest said:

How many TD did he run for?   Analytical minds wanna know.  

Let’s add those 10. And say he allotted for 26 TDs compared to the best QBs in the league:
 

Brady- 45

Rodgers- 40 

Herbert- 41

Burrow- 36

Mahomes- 39

Allen- 42

Stafford- 41

Bottom line, the gap between him and these guys is insurmountable. I did see some improvement this year, truly. But if he only continues improving incrementally at this pace, he should be able to throw 40 TDs when he’s around 37 years old. Could there be a miracle and he makes a huge leap this off-season? Sure there could be. The odds are heavily heavily against it however and if there is a chance to improve the most important position in sports, you take it.

I thought it was a foul the more i watched the replay but the officials missed the and 1 on maxey prior and the end of the game foul on curry too. I’m guessing the two minute report from this game is likely not going to be good for the officials.

Miami just lost to Boston. I believe it’s a half game now.

This is usually the time of the year that I start following the 76ers more closely...so I'm still catching up but they look pretty good, so far.

 

Almost the #1 seed playing with 0 contributions from one of our max contracts all year. Thats insane. Imagine if Morey turned that in to help for Embiid. We would be running away with the East already.

What do you think of Tyrese Maxey?
