I don't even understand the Sir Cameron Newton: Leader of Men, Lover of Puppies...Esquire play on words. He was never a scammer... It's like me calling their old QB Donovan McStabb when he's never been accused of stabbing someone.

Philbillys don't let facts get in the way of insulting someone. It's their culture. Insult complete strangers before fighting them. Rob you if they win and then Philadelphia Parking Authority tows the victim's car while their recovering in the hospital. Completely different set of manners than Southern gentlemen and ladies have.

Luck is losing his shine this season. The narrative we'll hear if we beat the Clots will be about Luck struggling this year after getting to the AFC championship game last season instead of how much better the Panthers are getting, just like the Seattle game.

ok, read your first and last sentences. You created that narrative yourself

Didn't create it, just some advance scouting. Last week is what they are considering his first good game of this season. They laid the groundwork for the focus to be put on what's wrong with Luck and the Clots if we win. Same way Seattle got the lion's share of the spotlight after we won.

Anything can be argued because his current performance arc drives the narrative. It's that way with Peyton, too. He's been great in the past, but he's not scary this season. There's been a ton of debate on here about Luck, especially comparing him to Cam. In the interest of keeping the talk focused on the Iggles, I used the qualifier undisputably in my original post. I have an opinion about Luck's past seasons, but that doesn't mean I need to share it with everyone and rehash an offseason debate yet again.

comparing a great qb on his final legs to a rising star in his fourth year. Smh "he hasn't been scary this season" like he somehow forgot to play football over the offseason after that AFC championship game appearance. 

 

Your falling into a trap of thinking a media narrative has anything to actually do with a players skill level. Because he isn't "perceived" as being as good as he was doesn't make it true. You would think people would have learned that by now under cams 5th year.

I cant think of a comment snarky enough to truly convey how hard i laughed at that eagles fan when he kept going on about the giants game from years ago as his platform for "Cam cant bring his team back from adversity!! NO NO NO I DONT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT ALL THE TIMES HE HAS DID YOU NOT SEE THAT GIANTS GAME MAN? WERE YOU NO WATCHING? QUIT BEING A HOMER #towel #adversity #bradfordleaderofmen"

 

What a collection of south jersey racist yankee dorks

There is something perversely hilarious about a team saying "they haven't played a good QB" when that team also doesn't have a good QB.

Bradford will be like the 3rd or 4th best QB we have faced this year...

This ain't the Giants.  Eagle offense plays like they did on Monday they have no shot.

Luck is playing with a bum throwing shoulder behind iffy OL play.

Kinda a similar type thing as Cam playing w/ bad foot, busted ribs early last season....Luck is legit when healthy.  Has his own flaws but definitely a legit top young QB.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
