 Inside the Eagles downfall under Jeffrey Lurie and Howie Roseman (subscription required)

You might think to yourself that this story isn't Panthers related, and directly speaking, it isn't.

But truth be told, it paints a pretty disturbing portrait of what could have been if we were still under Jerry Richardson and Marty Hurney.

And besides that, it's compelling reading. Hell, you might even find yourself feeling sorry for Eagle fans.

We've had Hurney twice. Isn't that enough sorrow for any NFL fan?

Lurie is a very hands-on owner who doesn't know what he's doing but thinks he does.

Roseman is a colossal ass kisser who's better at selling himself to Lurie than he is at making any actual football decisions.

Pederson was grilled, questioned and criticized weekly (even after the games they won) by Lurie, Roseman and their head analytics guy 

And to top it all off, they're letting their analytics department override the coaching staff and personnel people on football decisions.

Honestly, it's probably pretty close to what we would have gotten here if Tepper had won the argument to hire a "non-traditional" GM.

We really dodged a bullet there.

Have said it before: One of the worst things you can have in any organization is a situation where the guy in charge who believes he's the smartest person in the room...is anything but.

The Eagles have that squared.


They still won a SB with that combo.

Tampa won one with Gruden.

From what I've read, it sounds like a combination of Doug Peterson (and Jim Schwartz) doing an amazing job, Nick Foles getting hot at the right time and in some cases just plain luck.

And then they basically dismantled everything they'd built.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.

      Round 7: The Carolina Panthers select LB Jackson Kuwatch (Miami of Ohio)

      I'm excited. I love situations like this when you could potentially find a diamond in the rough on the cheap. And you know guys like this are gonna put in the work and desire way more than others to be great.
