Any QBs on this list you'd be excited to see in Eagles Green on Sundays?

I dunno. We made the playoffs with complete crap at QB. 

The problem with this thinking is that we won't be going into next year with the same team.

You'd be paying significantly more for one of those vets compared to what Hurts is being paid to serve as a bridge.  The focus this offseason should be 100% on building the rest of the roster around the QB with the best talent possible (draft and free agency).  Eating up a larger chunk of cap on a bridge QB IMO would be somewhat foolish when you can better spend that $ on say someone like S Marcus Williams or WR DJ Chark or Allen Robinson.  

What some of you need to realize is, even with an ELITE QB we aren't going to compete in 2022 yet because of the limitations with the rest of the roster.  So need to be patient and do this the right way.  Focus on QB in 2023 when we will have better options (draft) and hopefully a stronger all around roster.

No pass rush, no LBs, aging secondary (where 3/4 are going to be free agents in a month), one WR ... 

I don't know why people don't get this. The team is fundamentally flawed. We have gaping holes at WR2, CB2 and Safety (both spots). We have pretty much no talent under 30 on D (Hargrave is very good, Sweat is solid and Williams showed some promise as a 3rd rounder, but apart from that......)

I personally don't think Rodgers and Wilson would come here, because they would know the roster isn't good enough. I don't think they will leave Green Bay or Seattle anyway. Watson might come here, but moral reasons aside (I want no part of him), he's shown he can't get it done with a poor roster.

We need our cap space and draft picks to build a talented young core. Otherwise it doesn't matter how good the QB is.

None of the QBs on that list are going to cost very much.

None of them are obvious upgrades on Hurts. And those that you argue might be will be at least 7-8 million.

At this point id love that. He could be a great bridge until we draft and have a franchise QB ready to go. 

Why the heck not? At least he would help the WR develop having a real QB who could throw. Trade the stash and the RB, draft Strong, sign Nick. The end.

Exactly. Can you think of a better mentor or role model for a Rookie QB

Looked at the list and... That's an awful list. If it's roll with Hurts or go with one of those then I'll roll with Hurts thanks. 

 

Hurts should be the starter.

Run first offense with running QBs.

Minshew and Sinnett can go.

The other 2 spots can be filled from this list or the draft/udfa.

From this FA list,  I'll take other running QBs who can do basically what Hurts can do, and not someone who can't run.

Cam Newton,  Tyrod Taylor,  Marcus Mariota are the 3 I like from that list.

From the draft list,  I like Malik Willis and D'eriq King.

You don't care about rushing yards, but the Eagles won with the QB doing great on the ground running.  Playoffs.

So, not crap.  Playoffs.  You're wrong.

The Eagles are a run first team with running QBs and Minshew and Sinnett are not that.
 

Those free agents should be seen as improvements over Minshew.  And if they cost 7-8 Million,  you don't need them as a backup to Hurts.   But Mariota cost 3.5 last year,  Taylor 5,  Newton 5-6.  Maybe that's too much, maybe not. 

QBs who can't run as well as Hurts need to be much much better at passing than Hurts to be equally as effective.   I don't see those guys. 

[SB52]

I’m surprised no one has even mentioned Marcus Mariota. He’s better than Hurts.

I’d definitely take Winston or Mariota for a year. The key to this bridge situation would be acquiring another 1st and 2nd next year. You’d think some dummy would give you a 2023 2nd rounder for Hurts. SEA or DET maybe.

It worked, and will continue to work in 2022 and 2023.  I see no reason why the Eagles wouldn't do as well or better in 2022. 

Need
1)  add first round picks on defense
2) a great running back if available

Also
1)  a better version of JJAW,  or someone who is SE or TE size to play End.
2)  someone to take snaps at Fullback.   Like a Fullback, or not.  The Ravens have a 300 pound FB who was only a DT until the Ravens trained him to be a FB.

The first 2 might be expensive and the other 2, not.

I mentioned Mariota as a backup for the QB who won 5 more games for the Eagles in 2021 than the Eagles got in 2020.

I understand that you don't care that the Eagles were much better, winning games,  with Hurts.  

Mariota is similar to Hurts.   Both had losing records in their first year,  then a winning record, and both took their teams to the playoffs.  Mariota could be a starter somewhere, but he didn't quite make the cut with the Titans.   Cam Newton and Tyrod Taylor are also similar,  Taylor more similar,  typically goes .500 or a little better, took the Bills to the playoffs one year.  Newton did take the Panthers to the Super Bowl a while back.  Tends to be more inconsistent when it comes to w-l records, sometimes great, sometimes not.   All 3 should be cheap, and all 3 are running QBs, as is Hurts,  so, if they were backups,  the offense isn't ruined if Hurts was to go out.

Overall, stay the course with Hurts,  9-8 and playoffs is good, and changing out the QB for someone who is worse - can't run well - likely means fewer wins.

You watched Hurts play QB for the last five years, right?

How’d that running work out actually IN the playoffs??

Well you need more at WR for whoever is QB starting in 2023 …. whether that is Hurts after showing significant improvement over the 2022 season or someone new right?

Yeah, how'd that playoff game go again? Tampa loaded the box and said "throw it btch." And of course he couldn't. 

Btw did he beat any team with a winning record? He looks good against crap teams. Awesome.

Playoffs only because we played against scrubs AND there happened to be a 3rd WC spot. Honestly you may be the most annoying poster on the EMB.

Pay no attention to the mock draft simulator rankings. Devonte Wyatt is going in the first round. Also, he’s dominating the Senior Bowl.

Out of necessity because they had a QB that CANT THROW THE BALL.
