According to the latest ITB, Reagor has a good off-season so far - taking it very seriously. 

And they forgot about Nate Iloa winning the original off-season hype award....

And pigs may fly.  I will believe it when Reagor consistently shows effort on plays where he isn’t the target.  Wonder how many of those he ran in OTAs.

He's been through a traumatic event with the loss of his college teammate/friend.  Perhaps it has given him a new perspective and has made him look in the mirror more closely, but as you say, the proof is in the pudding.  He's got to prove it.

Until he cramped up in the Super Bowl and wasnt available.

Yup, shoulda had some pickle juice pre game 

Having said that he had a big first half that game, too bad he got hurt, Glew filled in nicely though being the first eagles WR to catch a TD in a super bowl, too bad it wasn't enough.

He is going to have to really shine to beat out Strong for that award.

He isn't really getting a crazy amount of pay with how the QB market continued to jump.  Cowboys could have and should have got him on an even cheaper contract at around $30M but they kept dicking around pushing it off and only drove the price up for themselves.

 

Dak is legitimately good QB.  As it currently stands he's the 4th best QB in the conference.  The problem with Dallas hasn't been Dak, it's been Jerry's poor choice in HCs.  

I agree that HC has been a problem but OC hasn't been.  I think the legitimate question for Dak is whether he is a Kirk Cousins type QB and isn't able to lead the team on a big drive in a key game.  The Cowboys are 8-17 with Dak against winning teams. He's 1-3 in playoff games.  in the game against the 49ers he had an all-time gaffe when he ran the ball with 10 seconds left and then the time ran out for the game.  It's not a play I can imagine an elite QB making.  It was boneheaded.

He has to more than just prove it.  He has to prove and sustain it.  If he came out and performed like was expected, I have to believe everyone would be waiting for the half-assing to show again. That doesn’t work and in a way makes him a worse player.

I don’t think he was even at any OTA’s. At least the ones they did any type of team drills.

They really didn't have OTA's so it's OK.

I think the best thing for the team and for Reagor would be to trade him.  Getting a late round pick for him or even a bust for bust type trade would make sense.

Nah, Carson Strong has that on lockdown. Ain’t no one gonna take that from him.

The sustain portion is on every player in the NFL.  That's why the league is called:  Not For Long.

 

I agree though.  He has a lot to prove, and 'rent is due everyday'.

His running might have been part of the call if the first read wasn’t there. That’s part of the problem in the analysis of fault because of what we don’t know. Same with credit. Was that really an awesome play by the player or did the coach make a great call? Won’t stop me from agreeing with your assessment on this, but I accept that the assessment is made without full knowledge. (And my counter may be influenced by my dislike of the HC).

Loved Quick but Harold Carmichael was a game changer. Of course, the opposite of JJAW, they started him as a TE.  His WR break out year was a wonder.  He was unstoppable in an era where three yards and a cloud of dust ruled.  

Let’s agree to disagree on this one. In my opinion, Harold was a very good player for a decade. And that definitely counts for something. But for about a five year period (his career was derailed by injuries), Quick was on a higher level of greatness. My opinion. 

It’s a shame. The Marion Campbell era was suck. But it did feature two spectacular players who were a joy to watch. Quick and Wes Hopkins. And they both got injured. Wes lasted awhile after returning but never came close to being what he had been. If you’re a fan and you only remember Hopkins from the Buddy Ryan years, you don’t really have an appropriate understanding of the player.

Jody Schulz is another interesting case. If you look back at the team’s draft history, you’ll see his name, one you probably won’t recognize and think, wow, what a wasted pick! A second round pick in a historically deep draft! But the truth is, he was absolutely a monster his rookie training camp. I once had a conversation with Wilbert Montgomery who raved about him. And just like that, a month into his rookie year, massive knee injury. Career wiped out just as it’s starting.

Also landed Reggie White and Randall Cunningham in that same period.

Jon Ritchie has the worst football takes. I'm pretty sure his research is just scrolling the players Wikipedia page.

That wasn't a play that Dak drew up in the dirt in the huddle. That was the direct result of terrible coaching.

Of course you don't understand that players should have some degree of football intelligence.

Dak needed to know the ball has to be given to the official. Had he done that, he just might have spiked it in time. As it was, he was a split second too late. 

screw it, I'm looking forward to Torts now.  This Flyers teams is full of underachievers and soft players.  Maybe he can wake them up.

Somehow you don't understand that it falls on the HC to call a QB draw/sneak up the middle with 15 seconds left and no timeouts.

I agree on Hopkins. Loved his play.  Thing about Quick is that kind of describes his career.

McCarthy said after the game the QB draw was called; it was not scripted for Dak to run as far downfield with it as he did.  Dak screwed up taking the ball too far downfield given the time left on the clock, and he screwed up again by handing the ball to his OL instead of handing the ball to the official to spot it properly for play to be blown in.

It was a Romo-esque play under stress in a big moment.  Hence the Amari Cooper "BL___ Kirk Cousins" comment (hence Amari Cooper not being there anymore)

Yes, it was the HC that handed the ball to his centre after the play instead of the ref. It was a bad play call, but Dak was very dumb as well. Situation was too big for him, again.
