Why does it look like they replaced our OL with the Jackson 5?

Maybe they were overrated.

    I'm sorry I brough such a depressing topic into the blog.  A little back story without too much detail. I met my friend 12 years ago during an AF commissioning program. He was on top of the world

Interesting to read about the other QBs since I haven't seen much in them.

In fairness to Hurts, it’s not like any of the Eagles’ quarterbacks are looking great. Gardner Minshew has been up-and-down at best. Carson Strong and Reid Sinnett aren’t impressing anybody.

 

Gardner Minshew threaded a tight window in the middle of the field to hit Deon Cain. Later, he threw too late to Calcaterra on a curl route and the ball was knocked down. Minshew also had a good throw over the middle to Greg Ward but then held the ball too long and got "sacked” by Josh Sweat.

 

Strong had some weak throws this morning. He threw a bad, wobbly pass into coverage with no receiver around and was lucky not to be picked off. Strong threw a ball with not much juice on it right to Christian Elliss for an interception in 7-on-7s. Strong’s best throw was when he aired it out with good touch to Lance Lenoir, who dropped the ball. Early on, Strong seems more like a practice squad candidate than a threat to make the roster.

 

Not surprising on Strong, but also wonder if a coach was in his ear telling him to go for touch 

Any word on calcaterra injury?

Whatever happened to Austinfan?

Same article;    BGN

"Underthrowing the ball was a common issue in today’s practice. During 1-on-1s, Hurts failed to give A.J. Brown a chance to make a play on a ball down the field. The ball was thrown too shallow to where James Bradberry was able to break it up despite trailing and not looking at the pass in the air. In 11-on-11, Bradberry almost picked off Hurts on a throw that didn’t look like it had enough mustard on it. DeVonta Smith should’ve had a catch after running a double move but the ball hung in the air for too long and got broken up instead. Hurts attempted a short throw that wasn’t high enough to escape the range of T.J. Edwards, who broke it up. 

Underthrows weren’t the only issue. Hurts made an ill-advised decision to throw against his body and into tight coverage after rolling left. Hurts was picked by Andre Chachere in that instance. Hurts was off target wide to Brown during a 1-on-1 rep. Hurts decided to keep the ball and run straight ahead on a 3rd-and-3 scenario but he was met head on by Javon Hargrave for a loss.“

Sanders had 5 rushing attempts inside the 5 last year and had -5 yards. Maybe that's the larger issue? 

Maybe the issue is with the "Top 5 OL".?

What was the point of this rep from Hurts?  He's staring at the target from the beginning, doesn't use any form of real footwork and throws off the bat.  That's gonna hit JM in the numbers on his back in a real scenario

Yea I have no idea what’s going on there. He spent the entire rep dancing and doing weird hand shakes.

EDIT: He dances up to 4 RBs and has a unique handshake with each of them. This guy.:roll:

Was there any update on Milton Williams beyond "DNP - elbow?”

So in 14 starts, Mahomes, Allen and Burrow have 5INT's. In Lamars first 4 games he also has 5. 

Why do you spend so much time bashing Lamar Jackson? 
 

Oh it’s because you’re a Steelers fan

1) I said he beats up on bad teams, his 25-3 record compared to his 14-13 should show you that. 

2) You're putting a lot of weight and and stock into Regular season games (where bad teams live) and arent looking at the playoffs. 

So heres a stat I think you may enjoy...

Guy 1 First 4 playoff games - 3-1, 5 Touchdowns, 2INT's

Guy 2 First 5 Playoff games - 4-1, 13TD's - 2INT's

Guy 3 - First 5 playoff games - 3-2, 8TDs- 1INT

Guy 4 - First 4 playoff games - 1-3, 3TDS- 5INT's. 

 

What about All-World Aaron Rodgers lackluster playoff game last year? 0 TDs, 5 Sacks, 1 Fumble.

Point being, every QB has good games and bad games so of course you can break that down to good snaps and bad snaps which is outrageous.

I don't want anyone to think I'm a Hurts apologists because I'm not, I stated my thoughts on Hurts when he was drafted, I thought it was a bad pick because I wasn't impressed with him in the least and I didn't/don't think he's a natural at the position.

With that said, I thought Josh Allen was a worst pick, no way in hell did I ever believe he'd be the QB he is today, usually once an inaccurate passer, always an inaccurate passer.  Based on Allen's transformation I've decided to give the guy a chance, if the inaccuracy continues this season I'd suggest prying Matt Corral from the Panthers, dude is a natural.

He has a winning record against teams with winning records.  The only other young QB you are going to see with a winning record against winning teams is Mahomes.  If you breakdown the record for any other young QB in the league that isn't named Mahomes then it is not going to look good in comparison to Lamar.  He is going to be in the playoffs continuously throughout his career and will have many chances to go on deep playoff runs.

Nope. Injury news came out after Sirianni/coaches spoke.

Josh Allen was a risk, but his upside was enormous.  Hurts does not have this luxury, bc he has proven at every level he’s a terrible thrower of the football. He’s not 6’5 with an absolute missile for an arm, and he was also drafted 2 rounds early.  He will never fit into this league as a top starting QB unless he can actually dissect a defense. Pre-snap, post-snap, and improvisation.  Do you understand this concept? 
 

Matt corral!  Keep em comin bruh!

And you’re childish , it shows each and every time you post  .

Also coming from the guy who throws in an "I told ya so” about an Atlanta Falcons draft pick during the first week of camp on an Eagles message board after abandoning them for the Bucs.  That is absolutely pathetic.  
 

You’ve insulted people on this board for not being good role models for their kids (for no reason), so I  am hoping you can send a message about all the players you were wrong about in the blog.  I know you won’t, but that’s bc you’re a nuttsacc!

I also remember his "I told you so” regarding RG3 after the first game of his entire career. He was gushing that night about how he was right that he was the best player in that draft. He couldn’t stop congratulating himself. It was kind of funny in a pathetic kind of way.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the Eagles only keep two quarterbacks on the 53 man roster at final cutdown. I also think they’ll go light at RB (3) and possibly TE (2) and WR (5 rather than 6). I expect they’ll go very heavy at LB and CB this year, so they’ll need to borrow from other positions. It’s always fluid after that, however. And they’ll activate guys off the PS for games. Like Stoll for example.

They would have to trade the stash to make that happen. I can't see them giving Strong that contract and exposing him to waivers. If they trade him, maybe. If not there is little chance they don't roll with 3.

so uncivilized, pecker wood

The Josh Allen and Hurts comp never made sense to me. Allen had outrageous raw talent, Hurts doesn't.

You want a Josh Allen comp? It's this kid:
