So basically, they're starting Hurts because he can do what Wentz always did before he shredded his knee. 

What a clusterF

Talked to my dad about it (D1 player so he’s seen a thing or two). He seems to think Pederson has wanted to bench Wentz for awhile and was told no. I’m thinking it was Laurie. Roseman has to go. No iffs ands or butts about it. 

We never should have spent that high of a pick of a division 3 player. Don’t even pretend to tell me that’s a division 1 or 2 school up in that podunk state and conference

What school did you play at?

At least it will be fun to watch.  If he doesn’t get sacked 11 times.  Saints have good D

That would put us at the 5th overall pick.  Not bad.  But we can do better

We need to get to 4 (or 3 would be great but I don't see it happening).  Top 2 will be the QBs.  If Cincinnati is 3rd, it should be a lock that they draft LT Penei Sewell.  If the Chargers are at 4, it's tough to say what they'd do.  They have Mike Williams and they just signed Keenan Allen to an extension, but I could see them still going after Jamar Chase to get Herbert the best weapon.  4 is the magic number!!

I would guess Surtain or Parsons but 4 is the best pick for players we need. Rousseau, Surtain, Parsons, or Chase. Could make a case for all four, but Howie will choose the kid from Wake Forest

If Chase is on the board I still fully expect Howie to take some undersized DT from Eastern Montana State.

"I don't want to talk about what I said to Carson. I feel like there's some things that really just need to stay (to ourselves)," Rodgers said on "The Pat McAfee Show" this week. "I've been meaning to talk to him for a while and I'm glad I got the opportunity to say some things to him because I've always respected his game and been a fan of his game. I think he has a really unique skillset."

"Obviously, this hasn't been a really great year there in Philly. I think there's a lot of factors around him that contribute to that," Rodgers said. "I felt like it was a good, quick conversation and definitely wish him the best the rest of the year because I've been a fan of his since he got in the league and he's had some tough circumstances. I hope things work out for him whether it's there or somewhere else."

That's the words of a man who's been in similar situations himself and had a similar experience this off season. 

I don't see how anyone can look at the situation and say that, unequivocally, Howie isn't the #1 reason why the Eagles are in this position.  Wentz and Doug are taking the fall for his failures.

Hey man, he made it so that if we trade Wentz before day 3 of the NFL season, we "save" 850k!!!   CAP GENIUS!

the one behind the benches where you had Wentz' D in your mouth. 

You realize that doodes doesn't give one F about you, right?

Doug and Carson have had their share of failings this year, but ultimately the buck stops with the architect of this whole thing. Sheety drafting, mediocre trades, weak FA outside of 2017, and It's almost like a couple of posters here have been sounding the alarm on the cap situation for a few years now . How Lurie doesn't see that Roseman is the problem, I'll never know.

Amazing. Your answer not only avoids the question, but it also refutes a point that I did not make.

Eagles News: NFL salary cap manager says the Eagles "are screwed” and should start over

Philadelphia Eagles news and links for 12/10/20.

Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles links ...

With Carson Wentz benched, do Eagles hit reset button entirely? Execs weigh in - The Athletic
The Eagles were facing a roster reckoning even if Wentz and the offense had functioned at a high level this season, and even if the salary cap were expected to expand instead of contract. A cap manager from another team struggled to find enough players to release for Philly to comply with the projected $175 million cap for next season. "Holy crap,” the cap manager said at one point. "They are screwed in general,” he said a few moments later. Finally: "This is a bear.” "I would advocate tearing it all down and starting over,” a top exec from another team said. "Do you do that with Carson? Do you trade Carson and play Hurts for a year and see where it goes because he can be a run-around guy? It all depends who you hire as head coach.”

To me he is the one ultimately responsible for the play on the field and if Lurie keeps him around, then we will continue to be stuck in mediocrity

Well let's see what the kid can do. Give him a chance!

Joe Banner on Howie Roseman’s job security: "I don’t think there’s even a 10% chance” of him getting fired

The next couple of weeks might be to put Hurts on tape for an offseason trade.
