If the Eagles have 2 or less wins heading into the bye week, you take a break from posting for a month. If they have 4 or more wins heading into the bye week, i'll take a break from posting for a month. Deal? Dude, I have no idea who you are lmao. That bet means nothing to me.

So he won in the playoffs. His first playoff win was the climax of the whole damn movie! Yeah but the old pocket passer had to come in and show that running QB punk how to lead a team and not do all that running around crap! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s how you know RTK is a troll, Eagles are going to be Super Bowl champions, hurts is going to be MVP, the second anybody proposes a bet about it he has to put you on ignore or doesn’t know who you are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No conviction whatsoever. If he's convinced that we'll be legit contenders and that Hurts is a legitimate MVP candidate, betting on the eagles to have more than 2 wins through 6 weeks should be an easy bet.

We still don't have LB's or S's....so the D is not in any position to be competitive. Yeah, they're not a contender or anything, but they're far from some team at the beginning of a rebuild. I just didn't know where he was going with his argument. The LBs could be decent. Safety is definitely a weakness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shalodeep Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 5 hours ago, RememberTheKoy said: Metcalf had long term health questions. He dropped to the 2nd round. Jay Ajayi had long term health questions. He went in the 5th round. Players with long term health problems drop. But talent is talent and even with health concerns, players that are truly talent in the eyes of the scouts and GMs will be drafted despite those health concerns. Especially when you are talking about the most valuable position in football. Tua had major health concerns after his hip surgery and he still only dropped to the 5th overall pick. Eagles hand out a couple "big" contracts to UDFAs every year but that doesn't mean they believe or intend for them to become the starter on the team especially at the most important position on the team. You take stabs in the dark and hope you can land a guy who can maybe be good enough to actually make 53 man roster. If Strong is just another stab in the dark, who did Philly send to the NFLPA Rookie Premiere this year? You usually don't send who you believe to be throw aways. Some names we have sent Wentz, Smith, Agholor, Sanders. Latest pick they've sent is Gainwell, and they have shown quite a bit of love to the kid. The reviews coming out of rookie camp and the buzz is "they may have found themselves something with this kid." I think making the team won't be that hard. Winning the starting position this year, absolutely not. They will hand Hurts the job like they did last year. The one thing that nobody in this league will say is Strong has a "noodle arm" .... But somebody else just got called that @_@ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No offense in this league is going to be successful when they are as consistently pass heavy as the Eagles were. You can't hand the ball off to your RBs only 2-3 times in the first half every game and expect your offense to be successful without anything resembling a balanced offense. You can try when your leading rusher isn't listed as a quarterback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally every player in this video and at the rookie premiere was drafted, except Strong. Could mean nothing but it also could mean that they dont view him as your typical UDFA. 6 hours ago, Shalodeep said: The reviews coming out of rookie camp and the buzz is "they may have found themselves something with this kid."

If you take Hurts' rushing yards out of the team total, the team's rushing record is not as impressive as the PR is saying. If Hurts has not improved as a passer this coming season, the RBs won't have a strong season. The offense might improve a bit due to better skilled positions, but overall would be middle of the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being here can easily be backup or 3rd QB for a few seasons. I think he will be a backup who if given the chance will be tough to take the job back from, but with our draft picks next year...that could easily be picked away lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The calling plays part was from the only guy that matters at this point, Nick. As to Knox’s conclusion that the guarantee somehow guarantees anything, I kind of showed why that is nonsense with my post about the guarantees they gave out this year. As to the NFLPA Rookie Premier, that’s a union event not a league event. The Eagles sent an UDFA that is from the area to the event. That doesn’t mean ish. You don’t know if they didn’t ask the draft choices if they wanted to go and they declined. That part is has all the substance of smoke. The only thing apparent is the Eagles may have outbid other teams on the guarantee for Strong. That’s a "may”, not a did because we don’t know who else was bidding. Other teams where Strong perceived he had a smaller chance to stick or with offensive lines or skill players that didn’t suggest opportunity or health (Atlanta and Carolina come to mind) may have matched or even exceeded the Eagles offer. But using Knox’s reasoning on that, Brooks and Ellis are sure to stick too. Bottom line, the guarantees don’t really guarantee anything although it might help entice them to accept practice squad as an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Nick loved it - check Players who have all went in the past for us were Wentz, Aghy, Sanders, Matthews, and latest gainwell...so all higher picks other than gainwell. Did you see who the other teams sent to represent them or are you just being a keyboard tough ass because it's a ton of high profile picks other than ...drum roll please...Carson Strong. You can try to shake this off as much as you want, but the reality is they like the kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
