Eagles do not score in the second half, Texans score 2 TD's to make it close, but Eagles are already on the plane home at halftime.

 

Was listening to Sheil’s podcast and he had an interesting stat. Hurts is completing 50 percent of his throws 20 or more yards downfield, good for fourth in the NFL. League average is 30 percent.

I wholeheartedly disagree with you.  Hurts and Brees are 2nd Round proof that isn't true.  Dak and Cousins are similar 4th Round proof.  Brady is 6th Round proof as well. Russell Wilson and Joe Montana were 3rd Rounders. Mahomes and Big Ben and Rodgers were available at 8.

Right now Howie is surrounding our current "unlikely" Quarterback with the talent he needs to succeed.  It is only one person's opinion but Cameron Rising from Utah is considered to be by @Original Sin to be the best QB in this current crop of QB prospects and the way things are going right now he will be available when the Eagles pick during Day 2 of the 2023 Draft, possibly even Day 3.  Although Original Sin disagrees with me, I'm of the opinion that Max Duggan of TCU is another current dual-threat college QB who could thrive in this current Eagles Offensive scheme.

If the college game is going to groom QBs more as dual threat RBs than traditional pocket passers, then treating QBs with an approach similar to what is now used with RBs may well be the wisest use of resources.

You can't expect a QB drafted at 8 or 32 to be able to play at a high level until year 3. You get lucky if you get more.

We are talking MVP level QB play, that unlikely crap is for people stuck in last year.

Both will be on IR by tomorrow

Well, at least that would seem to be confirmation that it's not season-ending.

sanders 100+ yards and 2 TDs 

Man, RTK just plays you guys like a fiddle, and you all are more than happy to oblige. You guys love responding as much as he loves trolling you. 

I can’t stand the NBA. It’s run by a bunch of diva players, I feel like a lot of games are fixed, they cater to the stars so much, the regular season is atrociously boring, the off the court drama is discussed more than the game play, etc. That being said, I know no one cares about my opinion, no one should, and I’m not going to go out of my way to come in here and crap on the Sixers if they’re making a playoff run and the city is excited. 

Only a pathetic clown of a person would go out of their way to do that.

the sixers weren’t exactly killing it with attendance from 08-17. even before the process when they were a fringe playoff team they had lousy attendance. So his argument could be said for the sixers

13: 17th

Likely being right about Hurts really screwed with his act.  Even he didn't see that one coming.

Yep, he clearly lives to troll and so many take the bait. I used to as well, but it’s pointless. If we all could just ignore every post he makes maybe he’d go away

Thanks.

You may think this as semantics, but why are you calling void year charges dead cap?  In my view, they represent different things and should be presented as such.

Dead cap is what it is intended to sound like - a bad thing.  We signed a player for X years of performance.  We paid a bonus up front and possibly guaranteed some salary.  That cash went out the door.  Unfortunately, that player is not around for the full length of the contract.  We ended up paying for years that didn't materialize.  That is bad.  'Dead' is a appropriate adjective to describe the cap impact.

Void years are different.  It is an accounting scheme.  For example, we paid Bradberry $7.25 million dollars for one year of service.  That's it.  That was the deal.  We are getting that one year of service.  Bradberry is getting his $7.25M dollars.  We aren't paying for him to play in 2023 because the contract doesn't expect him to.  Spreading out the cap hit is a mechanism to push off the impact.  My analogy is taking advantage of interest-free financing when you buy a couch.  You still get one couch.  The amount of money you are spending doesn't change, just the timing. 

Bottom line, void years aren't representative of a waste of money like dead cap is and should be shown separately.

12 years of attendance figures, and the 6ers only ranked higher than the Phillies in attendance rank 3 times.
