But even if for arguments sake I accept that notion I wonder what makes you think a 23 year old can’t be taught anything anymore. Why would you think that?

I’m so knowledgeable and my talent evaluations are so good that all I need is a couple innings to form a fully informed opinion. Riiight so being top five in strikeouts, whip and wins means he isn’t good. That must mean Zack Wheeler is awful. Because his numbers are bad this year as compared to Scherzer. And I’ve watched all his start he hasn’t looked anywhere close to Max scherzer who you think is not good anymore. Let me just point out he is giving up one or less run in three of the six starts. He has gone six or more innings in five of the six starts. And the one he didn’t was because they were winning by so much they took him out.

Cool The fact you are getting stats from sites that have openly and been proven to push propaganda for NY and LA teams and are not remotely credible or trusted, shows you’re more gullible than I thought. Yes, I do know more than those who "keep track” of stats. I’m not beholden to influence or bias like they are. Do you even know who’s calculating these stats? Give me their names? How do you know they can be trusted? There are so many fake stats out there, especially to push propaganda for NY, Boston, and LA teams you have no idea.

I was pissed about not drafting him for about 5 seasons. Brandon Graham took longer to develop bc of injuries, etc but Eagles don’t win the SB without him. Yeah Thomas would have fit real well in the city of brotherly love Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you stop learning new things at that age? Muscle memory. He's played a ton of football, and at every level, his legs have been his saving grace. Is it impossible? Of course not. But, he should have been coached on how to play from the pocket from day 1 in the NFL. Instead, from Day 1, he was used as a gadget player. He was put into the game specifically to run the ball, not throw the ball. Not throw from the pocket, but to run almost exclusively. Then he got the starts at the end of the season, and he was still running. That was to be expected as he wasn't trained to be a QB in the NFL, so he reverted to improv. Then came the new coaching staff, the new offense and what did we see... a struggling QB who didn't have any pocket presence and panicked frequently inside a perfectly clean pocket and gave up all mechanics of how to be a QB. The coaches then decided they needed to revamp the offense. And the choice given by the coaches speaks volumes... rather than simplifying the passing offense for him, they pretty much scrapped it and went to the run heavy scheme which featured him as a runner more and more. Asking him to run more isn't going to make him better in the pocket, on the contrary, it is going to reinforce the bad habits of letting his legs get him out of trouble rather than his mind, his eyes and his arm. Now, flip the script... what will Strong do in the NFL? Strong has to do the 'NFL QB' things inside the pocket, because he's limited in mobility, he needs to do the little things that the most successful QBs in the NFL do, or he'll fall flat on his face. He can't get lazy about QB disciplines, because he doesn't have those other skills to fall back on. He has his arm, his vision and he needs to have his base. These are very different styles, but one has proven to be effective in the NFL, and the other has always proven to come up short. There has always been a ceiling that those types of QBs have always hit their head on... and their NFL careers have been limited in longevity as well. (And I hope that we don't have to revisit the Qbs who can run versus the QBs that have to run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even without the off field stuff, would you trade Graham for Thomas straight up as rookies? Graham Has now played 3 years longer as of 2022, doesn’t have any all-pro teams but will likely go down as one of the most beloved eagles of alltime Does Thomas have the PED's and one of the best defenses assembled here to hide his deficiencies?

It wasn’t until he had been in the league for 7+ years that he became the ultimate creep. I’m happy we drafted Graham now obviously, but at the time, Earl Thomas was the more impactful player. That was until he decided to run a train on some chick with his brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeanMeanGM Posted May 9, 2022 Share Posted May 9, 2022 I think for most QBs who have been playing the position all their life, their mechanics are what they are. They can work on them during the off-season and learn some things but once the games start with bodies flying everywhere they mostly revert to what they know. Even with Carson it was short term success before he went back to doing splits and all the other bad habits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
