DeAngelo Beason

I don't think it was solely due to his height either, but a contributing factor.

The Eagles have always been my second favorite team, so I guess I've got that going for me... and I do count myself as a huge Patrick Mahomes fan... to the point where I've considered buying his jersey. So I guess I have a shot at a silver lining to this season.

Nope. I don't even have enough hope in them to feel despair. I just kinda wish for the best, but I haven't set aside time on Sundays for football for a few years now. Unfortunately I'm kind of forced to go to all the home games this year because the company I work for invested heavily in season tickets, field passes, etc... and my main job these days is entertaining customers... You know the team sucks when you're not even excited about all you can eat crab legs.

I am nearly positive the second INT occurred because Bryce couldn't clearly see past the offensive line and those big bodies were blocking the view of Bates.

Part of being good is being healthy. You can't be a good player if you can't be consistently available for the team. There are two outcomes as far as I can see. The bad one: Trade or cut him The good one: He ends up like TD and gets through the injury bug phase of his career to become a legendary player for us.

I'm calm. Bryce is precisely who I thought he was.

He's not worth even close to what Bosa is, but ultimately if we make the deal now, in a season or two some other dumbass team is going to overpay an edge rusher and Burns will look like a steal.

If Fitterer I'm on the phone right now. At worst you make Houston a rotational player, where I think he'd excel while simultaneously getting an insurance policy in case Burns plays hard ball.

Correct. That team doesn't exist anymore. A substantially more talented, more well-coached one does instead.

Makes me wish we'd paid Reddick.

This rookie QB is inheriting a team that was one game away from winning the division, and likely would have won the division if the brass had shitcanned the HC a week or two sooner. I would also argue that the defense he's inheriting is insane from a talent and coaching perspective. One of the more loaded defenses in the NFL. All I'm saying is everybody who has been gushing over Bryce Young had damn well better hope he delivers. This team is absolutely built and ready to go the playoffs right now. We don't need to be building excuses in for him before his first start when everyone has been crowning him as the second coming of Peyton Manning from a mental perspective.

Nope. I'm not letting our supposed "savant" of a draft pick off the hook. He's diagnosing plays like "15 year vet" and "leading offensive meetings"... he'd better deliver.

The fact that we beat their almost identical roster twice last year, and we dramatically improved the overall roster (WR included, IMO) tells me that none of what you're saying pans out anywhere but paper.

I honestly don't think any of that is correct. I think the Saints roster is absolute garbage.

Please find a roster in the NFCS that is better than ours.

This team is way too talented to have low expectations. Don't really want to hear about learning curve for Bryce either. This is a playoff roster with even average QB play considering how terrible the NFCS is.

He was pretty terrible. Best of luck to him though.

Yes, he's the right guy.

He performs quite well as a backup. He's not a feature back. That's why we signed Sanders.

No need to worry about having to make this tough decision this year.

Well if he's a "savant" as the pundits have said, he should have zero difficulty mastering the game at the pro level from day one.

We overpaid a bit, but there are only two (barely) noteworthy RBs on that list for the Eagles. The rest are guys that will only see the light of day if the first two are injured (which would effectively mean the Eagles "wasted" money on their top 2 RBs). I don't see them as having value, so one could easily argue the eagles are wasting $4m on RBs.

Might be the most homer thing to possibly say, but I am absolutely certain that in an alternate universe where Steve Smith plays for the Colts, he retires with every single relevant receiving record known to man.

Three or four #2 receivers are much, much better to have than an overpaid #1 surrounded by scrubs. It puts pressure on the coaches to scheme guys open and attack every level of the defense.

We get it. He's smart.
