If we’re so worried about getting beat by good QBs, and offense is the thing to load up on, I’m fine taking Bijan Robinson at 30 if he’s there. That SHOULD be an immediate upgrade to Sanders that we can keep for 5 years. If we can sure up RG, our offense would clearly be the best in the league on paper. I like that Charbonnet kid a lot too. But Robinson feels like an eagles type player 

@TEW’s suggestion of Gibbs because of his versatility in the slot as a receiver makes him an interesting alternative to Robinson.

I'm seeing the Cowboys freed up $30m in cap space today.  

What's Jerruh up to?  I'm wondering if he's planning to keep both Zeke and Pollard?

The mental part is that he is a head case.  Uncountable and is unlikely by his teammates everywhere he goes.  He never had the mental intangibles and leadership that Jalen has.  You keep trying to push this idea that the Eagles shouldn't give Jalen a new contract and that moving on from him could be a better idea.  It's just not a reasonable take.

He wasn’t a head case when he arrived.  He only became a head case after the Rams game.

Should be cheaper too.

With our OL, I just don’t know how much "extra” Bijan gets us. We are already kind of maxed out on the run game. And Bijan doesn’t have the speed to consistently turn a 10 yard chunk play into a 40 yard TD.

Gibbs and maybe Achane or Mitchell give you that speed and receiving explosiveness.

100% this.

To the extent that you build the defense, it should focus on "splash” plays. Turnovers, sacks, TFLs, batted passes.

It’s one of the reasons I covet Forbes in the draft. 6 INTs, 3 of which he took to the house. Is he going to get flattened in the run game on occasion? Yes.

But his length and ball skills can probably win you a couple extra games per season vs replacement. 

How would you feel about a double dip of Forbes and Banks?

There were early rumours they would make a play to bring in DeAndre Hopkins 

It’s hard to get good pass rushers for contracts worth "up to” $6M so that’s a win. Even if he falls off the cliff, that’s very little wasted money.

Thats just it. Opportunity cost is huge for an early rb with minimal marginal return

I’m here for it.

Trade down from 10, add a 2nd, Banks, Forbes and Gibbs.

That’s what I think is in play. Howie called Drew Rosenhaus and said Slay needs to restructure and his play suggests a salary adjustment for 2023.  Rosenhaus countered with an extension demand (and probably no salary cut) to which Howie suggested he shop his client for a trade.  Power play with Howie holding the ability to refuse any compensation offered. 

Just let him play it out. Enough with the dead moneyball

It's not just the posts from today.  This has been ongoing from him since the Super Bowl.  He is clearly in the corner where he doesn't believe the Eagles should give Hurts a new deal.

Show me a single post where I have said that is the way they must go.  You can’t.  
 

Getting a haul like Seattle got for Wilson is an alternative.  You clearly don’t like that alternative, but it is a viable alternative none the less.  The obvious challenge is determining what the succession plan would be at QB.  However, the $40M to $50M per year cap relief plus all the Draft ammunition and plug and play starting players is what gets put on the scales as the counterbalance.

• 2023 or 2024 first-round pick (depending on the timing of the trade)
• 2023 or 2024 second-round pick
• 2023 or 2024 fifth-round pick
• 2024 or 2025 first-round pick
• 2024 or 2025 second-round pick
• a starting player like Noah Fant was at TE
• a starting player like Shelby Harris was at DE
• a replacement QB

Reports were he was always resistant to coaching and why DeFlippo was able to get through to him was that he was a bit of an ahole himself who wouldn't take any crap from Wentz.

One injury does not take someone who has a great work ethic and intangibles and causes them to throw it away.  He always was that person.

Hey look at your post, because there is an example.   Love when someone tries to claim they haven't posted something then spends the rest of their post laying out the exact thing they refuted that they were accused of.

 

You don't have anything in this league if you don't have a QB.  All those draft picks and it wouldn't matter for the Eagles because they wouldn't have a QB.  It's like that Family Guy skit.  You could have the young franchise QB or you could have what's in the box (draft pick).  It could be anything, it could even be a young franchise QB! 

 

It's completely absurd to try to argue it.  We have at workst a top 3 QB in the league.  A QB that is by far the best QB in the NFC.  A QB that has already taken this team to a Super Bowl and proved that on the biggest stage he can go toe to toe with the best and play lights out.  This QB is only 24  years old and by all accounts is a tremendous leader and lockerroom influence. He is everything that every team in the league is desperate for.  It makes no sense whatsoever to act like trading him is at all in the best interest of the team and their ability to compete going forward.

 

 

 

Loving tournament week in college basketball.  Taking a bit of focus from pending start of free agency and the tension I expect as the Eagles are lesser players.  I referred to the D as bandaid last year and that is holding true.  Rebuild is Davis, Williams, Sweat and Reddick and won’t be complete this year.  Noah Elliss a wildcard as is his brother, who may be the starting MIKE for 2023.  When playing mop up Christian Elliss and Nakobe Dean didn’t look bad. 

Kudos to Wise for going almost full Tin Cup.  

Time to work the Jalen angle

Trade for Jalen Ramsey
Draft Jalen Carter and Jalen Redmond

What you can do though, is go to the channel and just let some of the old chat test videos run. They're 4 or 5 hours long each. Just open it in a separate browser and let it run. 

I have 8 videos playing and my computer fan sounds like it’s trying to fly away.

It is possible that one injury could have changed his ability to succeed regardless of his personality. A serious brain injury can permanently impair a person's ability to process simultaneous multi-modal input. Whether the multiple sources of information are from the same or different systems (visual, audio, etc.). Wentz has come to make so many "what was he thinking" plays, that it is quite possible he can no longer think/process on the level that playing QB requires.

Reports of Wentz's issues with coaches and teammates long preceeded the concussion.
