While there's not a lot going on at the moment, here's a question that I came up with and found sort of interesting.

Would you RIGHT NOW....if you were offered...trade Jordan Davis to a team like the Colts (a team you think will probably be bad this year) for a second round pick in next year's draft. You figure it'd be somewhere between 33 and 40.

Has Davis shown you enough thus far that in your heart of hearts makes you think he's going to eventually become an all-star caliber player? Forget what we paid for him. That's a sunk cost. We might only be getting seventy cents on the dollar, but is there a chance that a year or two from now his value would be even worse and we'd be lamenting not getting something of value when we could?

Remember, when we picked him we had no idea that we'd be able to land Jalen Carter the following year.

The coaches see him every day and we've only seen glimpses so maybe this is an absurdity of a question. Still, I honestly don't know what I'd do. I'd certainly give it some thought.

This second...no.  At the end of TC/PS, maybe.  As much crap as Mamula gets as this huge bust, he averaged 6 sacks a year for his career?  Davis appears to be a true combine warrior who was boosted by an incredible surrounding cast.  I hated the pick last year.  2 of the 4 UGA players need to pan out as plus starters, or the Howie pitchforks need to come out again.

A lot of these guys come down to skill vs will talks at WR.  He lacked the skill and well the Jets are the Jets, so he never got the coaching he needed to tap into potential skill.  If he has the will to continue playing I think he can go else where and do...stuff...ok...maybe.

He started his career in Tennessee.  I suppose the same argument could be made regarding the inability to coach him up.

 

 

And Covey is imploding.

CordPatt is a perfect example...right team, right coaching, right head space when you talk about Tenn WR's lol.  What a woulda coulda shoulda team that was starting with the QB in Bray.

Troy Aikman saying Josh Harris's mom was a Commanders fan when he was a kid is just plain silly. They were not the Commanders. At the very least say Washington. Just like all records and historical stats say Commanders now is just as dumb. Theisman was never a Commander, Clinton Portis was never a Commander and so on.

Must suck to be a Washington fan. Can't call your NBA team the Bullets and can't call your NFL team the Redskins (even though Rivera is doing it and there's a petition by a Native American group to change it back).

Carter, Smith, and Dean will exceed expectations.

Davis is a toss up. Boom or bust.

I hope so.  As many here know, including my bff @just relax (I'm so glad you came back), I'm not a Dean fan and I want to be wrong.  Just like I was with my criticism of Hurts going into last year.  I'm eternally optimistic.

In all seriousness, if a trade for Jonathan Taylor was going to happen, the Eagles couldn't have asked for better timing.

-The Colts are in town and they can get an up close look at Eagles players they might be interested in.

-With the Colts in town, the FO will have a chance to sit down and really hammer things out and have deep discussions.

-Sirianni LOVES Taylor.

-The Eagles have an extra 2nd round pick, cap space and no clear RB1 (even though Swift is that guy).

-Howie hasn't made a move in a while and is probably chomping at the bit.

Better chance Boston Scott is a Colt than JT an Eagle.

Who would you rather have Huntley or Mariota?

Huntley in a second 

Mariota is trash and a quitter.

Got it finished... but that last inning was way too stressful for no reason.

Speaking of the above...I'll continue my criticism.  What I need and want from Hurts this year is timing routes, figure it the f out.  We have Marvin Harrison/Jerry Rice Jr Light in Smith.  He's our best WR IMO, he needs to get a lot better at timing routes and the combo of him and AJ will be probably the best combo of WR's ever if he can figure that out properly.

I hate the spin Netflix put on Mariota...he got paid how much to quit because 'he had a kid'.  Plenty of players delivered their kid with their wife and were on the field the same day.  F that dude, absolute waste of money.  Hated him coming out of Oregon with his made Chad Pennington look like Jeff George arm.

I have a friend whose a life long Washington fan, and though changing the name was the last straw for him he hated Dan Snyder and all the stupid things he did more.

We've got to see how well he catches before we make such declarations!

They really should’ve kept Vasquez over covey. I don’t see anyone claiming covey since neither had options left. vasquez got claimed cause he actually isn’t complete trash

Yup 

I never had a problem with him and I never thought he was that good either.

After watching the Netflix thing I just thought can't win with a guy like that who just flat out quit on his team, which is why I  didn't want him Anywhere near the eagles.snd it's not like he's some super talent that one can overlook the other stuff, he was bad last year.

Honestly I have no idea what Howie saw in him.

Hopefully he never has to play and if a QB other than hurts needs to take snaps I hope it's McKee before Mariota.

Better question, which does he get approved first: new commanders radium or the sixers stadium?

I just can't see how a DT Philly arena gets approved.
