aren’t you one of this boards bigger soccer fans? I’m inclined to believe you just like the change because it’s being made with the fc in mind.

I would like to point out that you just revealed your true reason for your position. You're anti soccer. Also, why do you think it's with the FC in mind? Is turf some sort of superior as urgace for soccer than I'm heretofore unaware of?

I don’t care about the FC, positively or negatively,  I’m merely pointing out that agendas come in all shapes and sizes, and I’d say your reaction would validate that you have one

also it’s been pretty well accepted, and I believe even stated by the organization that the turf is being put in because of the FC and the cost of upkeep of grass, not because of the benefit it provides them on the field (I’m guessing it’s probably hazardous to their health as well) but because of them all the same
 

watching you shill for a billionaire because he wants to save a few thousand on lawn maintenance though is certainly a character break, thus my supposition that you have your own agenda

I thought of commenting that I'm well aware of the irony of basically two socialists in Philly and me apparently staning for a billionaire. Except that's not exactly the case. I see the turf as probably a safer alternative for both sports teams than the poo show that a constantly resodded natural field would inevitably be. The savings are inconsequential to my argument and I'm fairly certain they are to Tepper as well but I honestly could not care in the least. I'm more just trying to take people to task who are being actual hypocrites wrt player safety and using it as bullshit cover for their anti soccer, natural field heritage, or anti Tepper agendas.

And their reasoning for the turf isn't exactly blamed on cost but rather the significant task of maintenance and quality that would be required. People are just choosing to boil that down to dollars for their own argument.

While I'm pointing out irony - I'm also fully aware of the delicious slice of irony that exists within a bunch of devoted capitalists having a fuging meltdown over something that (if their opinions were correct) is basically the definition of capitalistic practice.

      Jake in his prime was a gutsy QB. But just like with even someone like Cam. Father time is undefeated. It's very unfortunate we have a guy who is only 24 years old that has an equivalent arm to that. Absolutely blows my mind that our brain trust lacked the basic common sense to value arm talent when making a massive trade with ramifications for years to come. Unforgivable incompetence.

      Jake, to me, will always hold a special place in my heart.  I really feel like for his era, he deserved way more love than he got, and should’ve had more than his one Pro Bowl.  He was a gamer with an underrated rocket arm. but let me tell you, after his Tommy John surgery, when he came back, I can’t remember who it was against, but it think it was a division game, he threw a ball that was supposed to be a throw away, as I think he was under pressure, and that poo floated forever and died right at the boundary where a defender ran over and picked it off.  One of the worst throws I ever saw.  His arm just wasn’t the same after the injury and surgery.  All that to say, that’s what almost every Bryce throw to the sidelines looks like to me.

      And again, when watching him in college he had one distinct trait that I feel makes a franchise QB - on those plays when everything breaks down around him, he creates one on his own.  He doesn’t rely on or need everyone else.  That play last night on the final drive where he was getting sacked and threw it to Diggs before his knee hit the ground?  He does similar things all the time.  Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc., they all do it.  It’s what made Cam so special. but we picked a guy that’s the opposite of that.  He desperately needs someone else to make a play for him because he can’t.  Even that play yesterday on 4th down to Horn.  That wasn’t a great pass.  The defender was late and came down to make a play in the ball and Bryce threw it high and outside where Horn had to leave his feet and really use strong hands to catch it.  We relied on a 5’9” rookie playing in his first pro game to make THAT catch at THAT time bc of the early turnovers and a not great throw.  Crazy.
