Great we finally have the WR talent, now we just need a QB who can throw to them.

Next year. Hurts get all these weapons this year to prove he can't throw. Then we draft next year in a much better QB draft.

Yes .. that's the worst case scenario yup.

They spent all of Free agency chasing other QBs....  

Lol and you think with 3 first round picks they couldn’t get one? 😂🤣😀

Russell had a no trade clause and didn't want to come here. And the Browns massively overpaid Watson which is fully garunteed. Oh and they gave up a massive amount of picks.

I felt we have a WR1 in Smith and a WR2 in Watkins. I have no idea who our CB2 will be or who will eventually replace Slay as CB1. I guess we'll be watching the TC battle between McPherson, McCain, Gowan, and Vincent closely.

There's no doubt our WR position is a strength now. But we need some long term answers at DB and LB still. 

I have to agree we had other more pressing needs. But it's a done deal so now we'll see how it plays out.
I'm happy that so many here are happy with the deal and hope it works out for the best.

The FO obviously has total faith in Hurts and believes the team is poised for a valid SB run this year.
With a #1 WR he'll have no excuses now if he doesn't perform.

I just hope that when Brown or Smith are wide open down field Hurts doesn't "not see them" and chooses to run with the ball.

And it'll be interesting to watch Treylon Burks career develop. On paper he's a clone of Brown.
But 2 inches taller. And $95,000.000 cheaper.

So they weren’t chasing a quarterback. :rolleyes: Anyways the Eagles had other options available (jimmy g and Mayfield) but still passed on those guys. Every darn free agent and trade available was linked to the Eagles. The only one that happened just happened to be the guy Hurts had been working out with, but yeah the Eagles were try sooo hard to replace Hurts…… right…

And they waste a year of Brown in his prime. Shame.

They were very interested in Wilson. It just wasnt mutual. They were interested in Watson but Cleveland overpaid.

Only alternative at this point is open competition with Minshew. Which I'm all for. Or taking  a chance on Corral tomorrow

He's going to get this year. If he still can't throw with all these weapons they are going to draft one next year.

I'm more than OK with that. That Bucs game wouldn't have looked much different with Brown out there. He sucks as a freaking QB against a serious defense in a meaningful game. He can't read a defense, make progressions and see the field, or throw the ball.

You can’t over pay a team with three firsts. Rumors and speculations that literally went nowhere. Pickett and Willis on the board and they passed. They have passed on about 7-10 different quarterback options for Jalen, but yeah they can’t wait to replace him.  😂

Maybe they will, but some of y’all been saying the same stuff since he was drafted yet he’s still here.

I'm not a Wilson guy, but with Brown I will say more QB should want to come here now. Problem is there aren't any good vet options right now.

The problem is he makes just enough "wow plays" to look better than he is. He's fools gold. He looks great against bad teams. I don't think we beat a team with a winning record last year though.

Yep, exactly. I have the same issue Murray.

I highly doubt the Eagles want any of these quarterbacks. Like Ike Reese said already the Eagles aren’t going to be bad enough to really be in play for one of these quarterbacks next year so the best bet is Hurts. He’s going to get every opportunity to keep this job.

I would get rid of Hurts and draft a QB round one next year. Minshew could be the bridge until he's ready.

We have two firsts. We can trade up.

They don't have to be with the Saint's pick. He's had every opportunity. He's not suddenly going to be able to see the field or throw the ball. He sucks.

Well I hate to disappoint you but he’s going to be the quarterback. I do wonder if this team commits long term to any quarterback with a big contract after the debacle with the last guy they gave money to.

Best case scenario Hurt balls out. Worst case we're looking for a QB in 2023. We should hope for the best right?

We had three first this year. If these guys are supposed to be can’t miss do you really believe 2 first will get it done? Have you been paying attention to these trades lately?

This draft isn't a good QB draft. Next year is loaded.

He could prove that even without Brown...I am not happy personally as we spent more than 1 pick from first 5 on the Offense...
