I really am afraid of what he might do week 2.  You know he knows about the chatter, he wouldn't want to leave any doubt we made the wrong pick.

and the Vikings have gone 7-9 and 8-9 in his two seasons.  "Jefferson goes off for 100+ yards; Vikings lose" is a fairly common headline.

They are 9-5 in games Jefferson has 100 yards.

Is Howard still out there? Maybe run it back again with him.

They gave his number away, not looking back I guess.

Eagles have gone 4-11-1 and 9-8.  What's the end game here?  Eagles should have taken Jefferson.

I mean more long term. Scott and Sanders are on the last year of their deals. Gainwell is more like a third down back or third back. 

I doubt anyone they pick up now gets more than a 1 year deal too

Sprinkles is going to make a lot of you look really, really foolish. Sometimes it takes a few years for a player to have the light turn on. He's finally in the same system for consecutive years and doesn't have as much pressure now that Brown is here. Given his behavior off the field, he seems like he's got issues. He's still young and I think this is finally the season he looks like the player we were hoping he'd be. 

Just kidding, Jalen Reagor sucks.

One of these is Reagor.  Can you guess which one?

Probably. I thought Williams looked ok last year with the ball in his hands, apparently he was missing blocking assignments which was why he was eventually benched. I don't see the downside with bringing him in and letting the coaches work with him. If he doesn't work out nothing really lost there. I"d probably draft a guy next year later day two or 3.

Yeah but the QB play the past 2 years with Wentz and Hurts hasn't exactly been stellar.  As stated a million times already, JJ wouldn't have anywhere near the numbers he had with Cousins. 

Thus, he would have probably been upset, taken all Eagles stuff off his social media and demanded a trade.  That's what the kids do nowadays.

Or... maybe Jefferson would be a better receiver and would help the QB succeed.  

 

There's no way anyone can suggest that Jefferson wouldn't have been the better choice over Reagor.

Hmm... Probably number 2. 

Which is fitting, given what number 2 stands for.

I must suffer from recency bias, because I don't remember any Eagles CB worse than Jalen Mills.  Very little football sense or IQ, almost incapable of turning the ball over, and could be counted on to always jump routes with no safety help.  He was very similar to Leodis McKelvin, except Leodis could usually chase down the WR and tackle them after getting toasted.

We won a Super Bowl with him, though. (Which is proof that teams can win championships in spite of certain players) 

Actually -- Avonte Maddox at outside CB is pretty horrid as well.  Him being outside opposite Slay this season might be worst case scenario.

Serious recency bias...Maxwell, Fletcher, Patterson, Darby and Maddox (as an outside CB) were all worse and pretty recent.  All were worse by a large margin.

OMG  Aqib Talib is the worst.  I am sure the NFL Execs realize this and he will never get a lead announcer gig.

Talib is actually pretty darn good from a content standpoint...one of the best in the business.  The problem is he can't speak English.

What a disastrous sequence. Embiid shouldn’t have dished that wtf.

Disagree 100%.  His delivery is not refined.  But he was interesting and knows his stuff.  A hell of lot better than hearing (insert former Dallas QB here) talk non stop.   

Romo was great his first year, then he got too comfortable hearing his own voice, and then got uncomfortable not hearing it, so he won't shut up.  His first year he was providing perfect breakdowns with not too much or too little info/talking.

Exactly.   What was the Bucs trajectory before TB12 arrived?

Most titles are a result of opportunity and luck.  Just be in a position to capitalize. 

It's not a 50 year process.

It sure can be.

Someone tell me that he wasn't the guy who told Elway to draft Drew Lock or Paxton Lynch.

I would think he helped build that "no fly zone" over there which was really good and our secondary needs quite a bit.

Ignore how the Broncos have a great defense and some really nice skill players on offense.
