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.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By GoobyPls · Posted

      I agree with OP notion, QBs always get credited for game winning drives even if they do minimal. Just last night Caleb got credited for a GE drive when they basically ran the ball the whole drive and only had to go 36 yards.   And there are drives where Bryce could of had a game winning drive if not for a Legette drop vs Philly or a Chubba fumble vs Tampa

      You are actually, genuinely comparing Bryce to Jimmy fuging Pickles? Jimmy accounted for 3 touchdowns in his 10 starts in 2010. In Bryce’s 10 games post benching last year, he accounted for 20 touchdowns. Jimmy threw three touchdowns in 2010. Three. Bryce has thrown 10 touchdowns through 6 games. He is currently on track to throw for 3300 yards, 28 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. Wtf are we even talking about anymore. I mean seriously

      Tepper? The guy that directs the coaches towards goals that he set for them… that guy. He is the one.    I don’t think he ever was going to be expelled from class, they had him come in for garbage time maybe the 2nd week he was benched.  I will say this. People said he wasn’t under pressure the last part of the year when he did better, but he was fighting for his career and that’s pressure. And he saved his career too. I don’t reject him for those kinds of things I reject him for the physical things. I have always brought it down to he has slim margin for error and has to be perfect. People with the tool set have a little fatter margin for error. Why make it harder on yourself? Got nothing to do with hating him.  I am no statistician but game that margin thing out a lot and see how that works.
