Could you imagine the piss and vinegar coming from Eagles fans if they didn't win it all in 2017

I know there’s still hatred now but God can you imagine how bad it would be.

Listening to eagles radio and podcast the last few years, their fed up with Howie. 

They credit the superbowl to Howie's FA moves and cap. But drafting has set the team back.

Have heard some folks say Doug Pederson deserves the lion's share of the credit for that, but he and Lurie didn't see eye to eye.

I've said before that Howie Roseman is the Eagles version of Marty Hurney, but unlike what happened to us, it doesn't look like anything is going to save Eagles fans from his being the "GM for life" that Richardson wanted Marty to be.

Eagles beat writer Jeff McLane put together a "deep dive' article about him a while back.

Kind of an interesting tidbit here in McLane's article...

Roseman is known for going rogue on draft day. The scouts and the personnel people will have the next guy up on their draft board ready to go, and he'll just suddenly pick somebody else.

(speculation is that it's actually owner Jeffrey Lurie making those picks and Roseman is covering for him, but nobody can say for sure)

As you can imagine, this frustrates the hell out of the scouting staff and it's been cited as the cause for some of the team's worst picks in recent years.

One of those cases happened last year.

The scouts had a particular player pulled up as the next guy on their draft board, but Roseman shooed it away and "went big" as McLane puts it, by choosing quarterback Jalen Hurts instead.

So who did the Eagles scouts have teed up on the board?

Southern Illinois DB Jeremy Chinn.

(thanks, Howie) 😁

Roseman sort of has 8 x 10 glossies on Lurie over the Chip Kelley hostile takeover.  How far that gets him remains to be seen. 

In some ways, it is almost like the Hurney to Gettleman to Hurney musical chairs, only the owner who thinks he has egg on his face is still in place.  Thankfully, not here.

From what I've read, it seems to be the same dynamic that existed between Richardson and Marty.

Loyalty.

That, plus apparently Roseman doesn't mind letting Lurie make draft picks for him.

      Thank you so much for posting links to the players so I don’t have to copy and paste the name and look it up.

      All signs point to legit. We’ve been way better than our record the last few years it’s just we’ve had brutal injury luck. Also I’ve watched nearly every game this year and 3 things have stood out to me even when healthy from early in the year to now: 1. Early on Lee had some brutal rotations and situational coaching but he’s improved a ton there. We lost some close ones early we should’ve won. Sure most our recent games have been blowouts but in close games we’ve improved a ton there. 2. Defense. Overall team defense has improved so much, it’s not just hot shooting winning games. This D is absolutely a real trend and sustainable. LaMelo in particular has gone from flat out bad defensively to above average. We have so much length we always should’ve been good defensively but it took time for guys to buy in and really hone in on it which they have.   3. Pretty much all our young guys have taken strides forward. Moose’s development as a passer has been insane, Miller is putting it all together to be an elite 3 tier scorer able to hit 3s, mid range and finish at the rim. LaMelo still some poor shot selection but has cut the turnovers considerably. Kon has been a great shooter all year but has steadily improved in other aspects of the game too.      It has definitely been surprising how quickly it all came together out of nowhere but really none of it surprises me. We’ve been building towards this for years now.
