We got the best he had to offer and I'll always be grateful.  At 34, he just doesn't have anything left imo

I dont think blane gabbert does either. Yet he just signed with the chiefs. So there’s usually someone willing to sign backup QBs if he wants to play. 

I think Foles is completely shot. Every time he plays he looks unplayable. I'd rather just have Mariota.

I was thinking maybe Panthers just to be a vet in the bench for Bryce Young but they already have Dalton and that QB room goes deep with Matt Corral and Jacob Eason.  This might just be it for him. 

Maybe a team like Seattle is interest in bringing him in since they only have 2 QBs in the roster, didn't draft anyone and Foles could very well be an upgrade over Drew Lock.

Got the Celtics and the Red Sox in town tonight. Gotta take both. also Boston

Timing is suspicious, could be that he requested it so he could sign a 1-day with Philly before retiring

And then they can retire 9😂

McDougle isn’t even in Mamula’s league. This just shows how narratives can change history.

I just looked at the McDougle draft. It was pretty terrible. Ironically, the pick after McDougle was Troy Polamalu.

Eh...from what I've been led to believe from reading this board, Polamalu was kind of a bust too.

A one-day contract with three void years would be ideal.

37 isn't too bad, but 43 is awful. Sydney Brown bust confirmed.

Help me out of my confusion. What about 43 is awful?

I know it is sinful to like a Cowboy, but I have always liked Emmitt … a lot.  He was the heart and soul of those Cowboys teams, and Aikman got all the white boy love.  Emmitt accepted that slight with immense class and went out and did his job.  A real stand up guy.

Anything that’s familiar people like as numbers. Anything that’s divisible by a 10 or less that you’ve seen endlessly at school(21/28/36), even numbers in general (BG 54>55), or numbers that are famous from super famous players.

 

Also depends on position. DBs will be 1-49. So any prime number between 20-50 that wasn’t worn by Michael Jordan or an eagles legend is probably going to get criticized. 27? Familiar product of 3 and 9, and Malcom Jenkins ingratiated it to eagles fans. 29? Probably criticized. The higher you go, the more unliked the number will get. 37 is beat by 41 which is beat by 43 which is beat by 47 which is beat by 49, unless someone knows a 49 they liked.
 

I don’t care myself, I feel the player makes the number and it’s irrelevant what they have before they do anything; but this is the trend I’ve noticed when it comes to numbers

Prime numbers are prime numbers.  The prime numbers from 1 to 100 are: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, 31, 37, 41, 43, 47, 53, 59, 61, 67, 71, 73, 79, 83, 89, 97.

This I think only factors for DBs and RBs. Dlineman/LBers in the 70’s and 90’s are generally accepted at any of those numbers

Some interesting nuggets from The Athletic article…

* Based on game tape, The Athletic’s Randy Mueller rated Tyree Wilson as his No. 2 player in the draft. Another longtime evaluator ranked Wilson at the top, calling him more impressive than Cleveland’s Myles Garrett.

"Nobody blocked his ass — nobody,” this evaluator said.

"We really liked Wilson and thought he was better than Jalen Carter, better than Will Anderson,” an exec said.

* "What’s interesting about the Rams is, they are at the forefront of not sending scouts on the road, not having scouts or coaches at the combine, so when you see them select players you consider to be reaches for reasons beyond the film, you wonder if they overlooked things that might have been uncovered if they’d put more resources into the process,” an exec said.

* "There weren’t that many first-round players in this draft,” an exec said. "It was very hard to move up into the 20s, and I think it was because everybody had their hearts set on one player, instead of having a few, and didn’t want to move back.”

* "Monken is a receiver coach by trade,” an evaluator said. "OBJ will be the big wild card. Is he going to still have big-game potential? Flowers’ upside is Stefon Diggs. He has that from a route-running capacity.”

* "Everyone selected below Bijan probably has fewer first-round grades amongst the 32 teams than Bijan did,” an exec said. "Would you rather have a guy at a non-premium position that you feel confident being top three at that position, or a guy that is just going to be OK or carry greater risk? The goal is to draft good players, first and foremost.”

* 

Another pointed to third-round pick Kendre Miller, a TCU running back, as his favorite Saints selection.

"Miller, I think he’s so good,” this exec said. "He mirrors Aaron Jones. About 215 pounds, not a speedster, but can make guys miss in space. That will be a third-round steal.”

* On Seattle: "I think the corner was the best corner in the draft,” an exec said. "They did a really good job of not overthinking it and getting a corner that can help them. Witherspoon is extremely intelligent the way he plays the game. He is quite possibly the toughest and most physical corner in the last little bit. The skill set doesn’t jump off the screen like it did with Sauce Gardner and some of those guys, but the football IQ was special.”

"Witherspoon strikes me as a Pete Carroll type — tough, dependable, super competitive,” the exec said. "He is what Pete wants all the guys to be. Had they overthought it, they would have taken Jalen Carter, and the risk would have skyrocketed.”

Tbh McDougle was the guy i thought was going to be really good for the eagles. And it started off on the wrong foot from the beginning. Imo mamula didn’t live up to where he was drafted and who they passed up on. But he was more productive than McDougle

Brodrick Bunkley got me lol.
