There's no sense in worrying about anything else until the OL is fixed.

Yes Cam missed a few throws, the WR's dropped a few and the play calling was questionable, but there's no sense in worrying about any of that until the OL is fixed. With just a little more protection Cam would have time to set his feet, go through his reads and make better throws. A better OL would also mean a more effective running game and at heart we're a run-first team that thrives on play action. 

 

Fix the OL, then we'll see what else needs fixing - until then you can't even make an honest evaluation.

I remember last season philly fans were complaining about the oline when Vick was playing. He gets hurt and Foles comes in. Suddenly the oline becomes one of the best in the league.

We are a different level of bad. That Philly OL people complained about still opened up holes and they had a run game. There was evidence they belonged on the field

I have no faith in a front office that decided Byron Bell should be our starting LT because he's left handed.

 

FO had so much faith in Bell that they tried to sign Anthony Collins in the offseason.

 

I honestly feel sorry for Rivera, he has to stand up there and find a way to justify the personnel he's been given to work with this year.

 

I also understand the predicament Gettleman is in, we have massive contracts coming up for Cam and Luke so we couldn't afford to acquire the talent we knew we needed this year.

 

The true test will be during this coming offseason when we get out from under a lot of bad contracts/dead cap space and can actually compete for talent in FA.

 

Until then... it is what it is.

I think we need to spend whatever money we have on a LT and draft an LT in the 1st. Start our new rookie at RT and have a vet come in at LT.

We desperately need to set Cam's mind at ease in the pocket before this franchise wrecks him. The only problem is that the FA market isn't very appealing this offseason.

I'm all for double dipping at LT in the draft too. I just want a vet starting day 1.

Philly has 2 all pro guys playing on the left side, and invested in a RT with the number 4 pick that year as well. plus the center is also a pretty good player.

 

Cam has been playing bad over the last 3 weeks, but your bashing of him is just out of hand now. you do this every thread. this OL needs some major work done to it.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
