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.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
