No. I like our TE room with DG, Stoll, Calcaterra, and Jackson healing up. 

It's time to give up on Jackson imo

Explain to me what a discord is.  It looks like just a chat room. To me.

So largely the structure is very similar to a message board. You have a "server" - lets call it "Philadelphia Eagles". Then within the server there are any number of "categories" (like "TATE", "Rant n Rave", "Around the NFL" etc) and then any number of "channels" within those categories (so individual threads like the blog, or each player etc).

So that's a long-winded way of saying there isn't just one chat room (channel) but a neatly organised collection of chats under sub-categories - same as threads on a message board.

Some differences/advantages:

• Rights control - you can easily gatekeep which users or groups of users can read or post in certain channels or category of channels. You can control other rights as well like posting gifs/emojis/links/tagging people etc. So if this were a Discord server, you could have a section for those who only want to partake in "boring" intelligent discussion. I would make it so anyone can read those channels but remove posting rights for anyone disrupting the tone and intent of the section. It's more bespoke and effective than blanket banning. Of course conversely there could be sections catering to members who are more about the "fun" or whatever.
• gifs/emojis/memes/pics - the library to choose from is enormous and constantly growing. Until coming back to this board, I didn't realise how much I'd miss being able to post the perfect gif or emoji to convey my reaction to a post. It seems like a small thing but having a vast library of visual reactions to choose from makes a huge difference to the experience. And you don't have to worry about images putting load on the servers etc.
• text/voice - you can have text and voice channels. There's some servers or niche areas within servers where I spend more time in voice chat than text chat. Depending on context, it can be very useful. A voice channel during a game could be fun to try, for example.
• All in one place - currently all your message boards are their own website and so not in the same place. With Discord, all your servers are one under the other in the same place. So it's one click to navigate between different servers (message boards).

You and me, we're gonna be pals.  You'll see.  I think it's cute, that you're this obsessed with me.  I might as well embrace it.  

You keep using that word, I don't think it means what you think it means ..

So now you're recruiting to the circle jerk?

Thanks I'm ok, my hands are pretty full with all my wives.

I wouldn’t unless i were a team like the bears or Texans who need weapons, can afford to try and salvage his career.  At some point just gotta say he’s a bust for where he went.

NO!!!!!!!!!!!!

We're a rushing team who has 3 current passing weapons... 4 when you see how much we use RB's out of the backfield.

 

Gainwell should catch 50-60 balls this year

Maybe so. Still like our 3 at minimum.

Same. I don't think Calcaterra will play much. Looking forward in seeing if Stoll can take a step forward in the passing game

Think Hurts can accurately throw it to him enough to get those 100 catches?

Apparently his throws early in camp were all over the place, that was reported by BLG, Reub, Kempski, etc.. Still, he was only getting 4-5 reps per practice. I go back to the Senior Bowl, and that interception, there was no juice on that throw. There were reports of him being all over the place with his throws at the combine and his Pro Day, and even Jordan Palmer said  he was having issues driving the bad leg into the ground, even though his knee was the healthiest it’s been been in years. His father told him to skip last season to heal, then come back for his senior year so he could get right mechanically, but he refused and didn’t want to leave his team hanging. 

 

and, this is where I began to believe they were going to IR him on the last day of cuts (today) and werent going to allow him in to games because they didnt think the knee was healthy.

However, then they allowed him in to 2 games. So even THIS doesnt make sense either.

Unless, thats why they only allowed him to hand the ball off. Maybe it can still explain things.

I think he will make some plays. But yeah he’s a 3rd string TE, I don’t expect much as long as DG stays healthy.

For just Gainwell?

Just now, Bacarty2 said:

Yes. Hurts can dumb the ball off.  Think they had 80 last year

So you're talking about the entire backfield...I was saying Gainwell alone should have 50-60. Maybe

Doubt it but hey here's hoping

I’ll pour an old fashioned mid day to celebrate, regardless of announcement time. I just hope they can get at least a Reagor/7th for 6th swap.

Please elaborate.

 

I did a couple posts before.  Who are the QBs that Lurie has invested in heavily as an owner? McNabb, Vick and Wentz.  What did they all have in common? All three were athletic mobile QBs who could keep plays alive with their legs and make plays with their legs if need be. Lamar Jackson fits that mold.  If Hurts isn't the guy and the Eagles are looking for a new QB next year they are first going to look at trying to obtain a top established veteran QB before looking to the draft because this roster is built to win presently as is. If you look across the landscape of the league, Lamar is as of now the most likely good top veteran QB that could be available next offseason.

Seems like a "story leaked to a loyal beat writer as a last ditch effort to get some leverage" type of tweet but if not I'll join you in a drink later.

Nah. Dump him for a day 3 pick, pick up Bowden and put Allen on the 53. 
 

Brown, Smith, Watkins, Pascal, Bowden, Allen.
