I love my team and I get emotional and passionate about them as much as anyone else, but I’m also capable of looking at at it from a rational and analytical perspective…. And like many other popular topic opinions on this board, I’m going to disagree with this outright hatred of Roseman. A certain amount of criticism is fair and justified, - I’ve been critical off moves he’s made too… but acting as though re-signing him dooms us?!? Complete bullish!t… go back through the entire history of the Eagles- He’s the only Eagles GM in history with a Lombardi. I’m not saying that gives him a GM-for-life pass, and I’m not saying that you can’t criticize and question contracts, cuts, signings, trades, draft picks, extensions, etc.. but no way he deserves this much hate and criticism. Nuance?? on these boards?? You're brave 😜 got a valid point though
March 17, 20223 yr He got Minshew for 6th round pick. Probably the steal of the year. Just don't let him draft anymore wide receivers.
March 17, 20223 yr Media: Sources telling me a few big moves coming out of Philly by Friday! Fans: Oh yeah we are about to get Watson! Eagles: Extend Howie Roseman and release Fletcher Cox. Got ‘em! 😂
March 17, 20223 yr Mishandle the cap and lose out on free agents, cut Cox and create a draft need on top of a long list of needs..."genius."

My goodness people act like Minshew is the greatest thing since sliced bread. He played in two games last year and went 1-1. Not as big of a move as people are making it out to be.

Not as big of a move as people are making it out to be. It will be great when Minshew is traded for something slightly better than a 6th rounder.

Just because someone did something great that one time doesn’t mean they keep doing it. 31 minutes ago, Random Reglar said: It will be great when Minshew is traded for something slightly better than a 6th rounder. How is something "great” if it’s just "slightly better?”
March 18, 20223 yr 22 hours ago, E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles said: I've been hard on Howie for awhile. However, if I am honest and sit back away from the EMB chaos, he has set everything up for another run of success. The picks he reloaded with, while biting the bullet on Wentz's contract, may turn out to be one of his best moves ever. Still won't stop me from criticizing the current mess at QB that we are in. Drafting and cap management has been his short comings, I've always given him credit for trying during the FA period. Since drafting is the most important aspect of building a team, if he screws up this draft then his legacy will be that of a screw-up.
March 18, 20223 yr Will wait till after the draft to see what this team will looks like. But, it make take the fans at the Linc chanting Fire Howie, Fire Howie, to get rid of him, just like we got rid of Andy Reid.

Howie’s never going anywhere. At this point rooting for Howie to be fired is the same as rooting for him to nail the draft. Fairytales and unicorns for both. 😂🤣😂

He's far from the worst and he's far from the best. And ultimately that lands us somewhere in the middle which is pretty much exactly what this team has under him.

March 23, 20223 yr I used to be quite pissed about J.J. over Metcalf and Reagor over Jefferson...but now I look back and think how in the hell did he not trade for D.Hopkins or Diggs. I get we had a bunch of money tied up to Jeffery but still you don't pass up a chance to get the best receiver in the NFL (Hopkins).

Pretty much the same opinion I have. Howie's made some questionable moves and some epic blunders but that's going to happen to any GM. He's also made some good moves and even a couple brilliant ones.He also helped get us a Lombardi and even if you see that as catching lighting in a bottle, it still should account for something. I'm just afraid we could end up throwing the baby out with the bathwater if he was run out. I'm content to give Howie and Siri 3 years to right this ship. I don't believe even Lurie will have patience beyond that if significant progress isn't made.
