The Eagles are taking a very, very long shot chance with him, which is what you do with UDFA. I would be shocked if he is still on the roster after preseason next year. You do realize without the knee problem, he may have been the second or third QB off the board right? You are acting like he was always meant to be undrafted....that isn't the case. It's really not a long shot for the eagles to bring him in. And why did he pick Philly (who paid him well) versus other teams? Probably because there is an understanding this job may be coming available later down the road after he's had a chance to rehab. Just my guess.

I think sometimes as sports fans we think since we're constantly judging and weighing the athletic performance or potential of a player that it qualifies us to do the same for other non athletic experiences. It does not, even if I were a trained mental health professional it's unethical to make diagnosis without personally meeting said person and giving them an evaluation Not sure how many people here are following the depp heard trial, I'm not particularly following it but have seen a few clips, heards defense hired a "psychologist" who based his evaluation of Depp of him as a pirate in pirates of the Caribbean.😳🤔 That's straight up lunacy, almost as idiotic as stating one knows what someone's mental emotional state is because one saw them talk on TV during a sporting event. It's a discussion board. Nothing you or I do or say on here affects anyone in the real world. So it's okay for us to have our opinions and even disagree with each other.

If we like what we see then we press forward but I'd want to know before next years draft. If minshew is moved, I'd definitely keep him around. I just think minshew is here this year so he will be fine as #2 for the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She wanted out because of the "twisties", IOW she was afraid she would get injured. The complete opposite of Kerri Strug and her heroics. Sorry but if I backed down every time because of my fears I would never leave the house. Mental health is nothing to joke about, fighting through fears isn't harmful to your mental health. In fact I would say just the opposite is true. It's not as simple as she was afraid of getting injured. I would suggest looking into the "twisties" more. Fighting through fears can most definitely be harmful to your mental health. Look at all the veterans that suffer through PTSD. Some suffer when fireworks are being shot off. Should they just fight through those fears so everyone else can enjoy their freedom to shoot fireworks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think minshew is here this year so he will be fine as #2 for the season Minshew will be kept. The Eagles can't have a QB room of Hurts, Sinnett, and Strong. Best thing for Strong is a redshirt season to build up the strength and functional mobility in his knee. Sinnett is a nobody, and Hurts runs to contact. I agree with the poster who said the Eagles interest in Foles was likely due to having some type of offer for Minshew. Once Foles chose IND it cemented Minshew to be here for the last year of his current deal, and he'll leave as a UFA after the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matchew88 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 12 hours ago, Utebird said: His knee injury scared teams off, I saw Mocks that had him going from middle of the first all the way to the 5th. He has first round arm talent and put up first round stats albeit against crappy competition but guys like Trey Lance from smaller schools went in the First. Only thing that would have dropped him out of the draft is the injury concerns. I saw more recent videos, like the combine, and he looked unhampered. Add the fact that you're not allowed to hit QBs anymore, and I think he'll be fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fighting through fears can most definitely be harmful to your mental health. Look at all the veterans that suffer through PTSD. Some suffer when fireworks are being shot off. Should they just fight through those fears so everyone else can enjoy their freedom to shoot fireworks? Fundamentally, people who have PTSD are having a neurological response to a trigger. It's not something that can be "fought through" because your brain has released norepinephrine and cortisol in huge amounts to trigger your body to react to the situation. There's a myth about the mind and free will that we can somehow draw on some unlimited resevior or self restriant and will power in any situation to control behavior. This is just not the way the brain works. You can treat PTSD. You can get CBT and exposure therapy which helps alleviate symptoms. You can't ultimately keep the brain from releasing these chemicals which cause the flight/fight reaction. Treatment can mediate the condition so that it's not necessarily disabling. There is definitely literature which supports that repeated exposure to stress and cortisol has health risks. There's a big difference between having bad feelings and a trauma induced flight reaction. It sees like an awful lot of people label themselves as having PTSD when they just have generalized anxiety. Even if someone has PTSD, they can get treatment that mediates their response to allow them to function through their exposure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
