I didn’t really join in on the strong outside of a couple memes joking about the ridiculousness of Carson strong love. but I have messages from them saying that that’s what they were going to do because exactly of how you were going to respond. you can omit or not admit whatever it is that it did to you. But the fact that you just wrote a two paragraph response to me telling you what they were trying to do and trying to justify that I didn’t do that tells me that they got to you in someway. Great scheme. They accomplished me being 100% correct on Carson Strong and Jalen Hurts being a better QB. That really worked out. But fact is you people all genuinely believed in Carson Strong. Proof is in the fact that you all are still defending and making excuses for Strong. Still unable to admit that he sucks.

I wouldn't assume that of a first round pick. But I did think he had enough talent to spend a draft pick on to see what he can do. I was never ready to die on a hill for this guy, but I was definitely wrong about him if he couldn't even get this far. Now...I don't want to venture further onto that hill to go die, but something is really odd about this situation. Not only did he not play in PS, he barely played in PRACTICE. If the stat I heard is correct (and I didn't fact check it myself), it's the fewest passes an offseason rostered QB has ever thrown in PS for the Eagles. And I can't even assume that he sucked in practice because he didn't practice. Do I think he's going to turn him into a starter for someone else? No, not at all. But I don't understand why they paid all that extra cash to basically not even get a look. They did give him looks. The beat writers have collectively stated how awful he looked in practice when he was still getting reps.

You’re in stage 5 denial
August 30, 20223 yr Im curious to see what happens to Strong from here. Our PS? Another teams PS? Another team's roster? Last year we had a talented, strong armed QB who we cut really early on in Jamie Newman. I dont know if he is even still in the league. Carson Strong though had very positive early reports in rookie camp about picking things up quickly. And then all of a sudden, he started looking horrible, supposedly. And they wouldnt even allow him to throw a pass in pre-season. Its very weird. I wonder if he fizzles out the same as Newman or if he sticks around the league for a while. These were 2 seemingly very talented QBs that it seems no one wants to even try to develop.

The only reason that Carson Strong was getting hyped up here, is a bunch of us had a PM conversation after he was signed, and started one massive troll. Others figured it out and followed along. The architects of this epic troll job are myself, @Swoop @LeanMeanGM @Texas Eagle @TorontoEagle and @4for4EaglesNest. @Outlaw and @HazletonEagle were also in on it. Not sure if we PM'd them, or they just figured it out. Imagine being proud of this.

Here’s a cool thing go read what I’ve written about Carson strong in the past. My whole point of you on Carson Strong has been the same thing from the very beginning. I never said he was going to be the savior. The fact of the matter is I said I think they’re going to groom him to be a back up quarterback that has potential upside due to his arm strength. i also said multiple occasions, the only way he plays this year is it hurts gets hurt or is not playing well and they want to see what he is as opposed to knowing minshew isn’t the future. So that’s been what I’ve said since April when they signed him. So if he goes to the PS, it may be the case of them grooming him to be the backup but hey I made excuses for him even though I just said a couple of posts ago that he probably just sucks. But hey reading comprehension isn’t your STRONG suit.

For five of us changed our avatars to pictures of Carson Strong, I had the future written under my avatar, little over the top don’t you think?

I was optimistic about Carson Strong. I thought he would have been drafted in the 3rd for arm talent alone. He must also be a huge mental midget bc nothing else makes sense.
August 30, 20223 yr Anyone have the the Carson Strong posts from the day we signed him I need a laugh

And Strong was for sure a better passer than Newman, but Newman had the athleticism going for him with the strong arm. Maybe the attitude is the downfall for both of them. Same thing happened with Khalil Tate here as well. Was that the same year as Newman, or possibly 1 year earlier. That guy was Malik Willis before Malik Willis hysteria ever existed. He was cut before pre-season. Maybe even before camp. Dont think he is in the league either.

I think Howie liked him but the coaches figured out he was a moron that sucked in two seconds
