Not high?  Sanders is about as fragile as a Faberge Egg.  Must mean he's resigned to it.

Plus he wasn't a gun-toting, bible thumping square from the midwest.  

 

 

And THAT more than his play is the basis for the hate by some, I think. Though there's enough to criticize about his play. He wanted to be Favre - he said as much - but didn't have the durability. I think he might still be in Indy if he had gotten vaccinated.

Here is another qb ranking, this one from CBS Sports, and Hurts is also 15.

I'm not sure where the talking point keeps coming from that he grew last year, as a passer.  That seems to be something thrown about in the philly media and echoed nationally out of sheer laziness. 

I don't think we know yet.  I hated the original pick, and I'm still not sold.  But  I'm wanting him to succeed and willing to give him a chance.

He's got a good line, a good receiving group, and enough at RB to keep opposing teams honest.  No excuses.  We'll find out over the next couple of weeks whether or not he's actually improved.

I understand the excitement for them to be back in the locker room in order to get interviews and such but anyone else find it a bit creepy to see grown men excited to be back in to the locker room that belongs to other grown men?

Don't buy it.  People have sheer HATE for him.  That isn't from his play.  No one HATES a player that much because of his play on the field.  They have distorted his time here, much like Mcnabb, out of sheer hate.  Nothing to do with his play.  

 

Vaccine shouldn't matter for ish.  There are plenty of players in the NFL, both POC and white that have refused to get vaccinated.  Some more vocal than Wentz, that hasn't gotten the hate that he has.  

The reason I mentioned vaccination is that Irsay said there was a lack of leadership on Wentz' part. There are plenty of people on NFL teams that declined vaccination but they weren't in 'leadership positions'. It seems that post COVID or Long COVID is a real thing. I wonder if that explains his last two games in Indy, dunno. If so it's probably because he refused to get vaccinated.

On my prediction you left out the part where I said Hurts has 2 TDs on one drive.

Don't disrespect Squirt Dog like that.

He also missed my prediction of someone on the board is getting trolled by hurts performance after the game.

Yup, hard to see a huge difference between the guys in the 14 to 24 range.

Uhhh get an agent my dude

I can root for Hurts to play well and the eagles to win...

But, you Hurts huggers are unbearable

And the front office contributed mightily to the Wentz situation, as they now have admitted getting rid of JJAWful, and Howie admitting the Reagor mistake.

Speaking of, did we ever get a take from @austinfan about his hero admitting he blew it.

 

 

Howie mentioned that years ago, said he learned his lesson, stick with BPA.

The lesson he really learned was when the HC pressures you to take someone, remember he may be gone soon, you don't want to be following him out the door.

I think one reason Howie liked Siri is Siri is comfortable developing and playing young players, Peddy wanted reliable veterans. A development oriented coaching staff gives you more options - notice almost all the age on this roster consists of starters - most of the backups are young, inexperienced players.

Always someone else's fault.  GM is the top dog, and if he did not like what Doug wanted he should have used his veto power.   I can't imagine any Eagles scouts had Reagor over Jefferson.

You can keep trying to pass the buck, but this was 100% on Howie.

What about the halfway Hurts that are neutral?

Does that mean he's holding out? crap I made my pick already for this week and I picked those Fers!

Don't think he means that, just he won't be negotiating his contract during the season.

Do the Lions have actual fans?  I think I've met maybe one my entire life.  

They are a surprisingly well supported team by the fans here despite how epically terrible they've been for decades. Only other team I've seen with fans like that are the Browns.

If hurts doesn’t pan out but we can’t move up to get a QB we covet in the draft does it become purgatory?

what a quote

He's trying to set the tone.  It's game week.  That's all.  I expect something similar to come out from Jalen Hurts any day now.  He might toss in a curse word and say he welcomes discomfort.  Or, "pain don't hurt" (that's twice in one week...Dalton Lives forever!!!)   He'll say the same thing but mix the words around.  He probably got a hard on when he read the quote from Kelce and then his mind went to work.  

 

Maybe Hurts will talk about not looking at his poop in the toilet after taking an ish again.  That didn't make any sense AND I'm sure it made the whole room uncomfortable!  #swag  #rentsdue
