What did they see in this dude to warrant that fat 4 year contract? 

To some degree we have to also hold the OL, and IMO some of the early play-calling as reasons for ''some'' of his struggles. 

It's clear the lack in talent here on the OL (primarily injured starters) / scheme hurts Miles, considering the OL, and the Read-Option aspect to take the 11th defender out of run plays there is much less room to run in this offense. 

We are worse at running ''in general'' Chuba IMO is just a better inside runner than Miles so he's still able to get pieces here and there.

Miles Sanders was rated THE worst receiving RB in the NFL last year.    That's out of every RB that saw the field.  PFF is flawed.  But when they tell you someone is THE worst at something in all the league......there is something there.  He also rated very poorly in that regard in prior seasons. 

The Eagles beat writers covered his career of unreliable and inconsistent play.  It was always something.  Bad routes, bad hands, fumbles, etc. 

This front office is just bad.  I don't even blame the players.  They have come here and been basically all the same versions of themselves but in a bad offense w/ bad coaching.

Same with Hurst. The MFer has been on way better offenses than this and was a dud. But somehow we are gonna be the exception? Riiight.

But when I say Ian Thomas is our best tight end I get poo'd left and right. The dude sucks, so does tremble, so does Thomas, so does Sullivan.  Te's are straight trash

100%. This is the worst group of TE's our franchise has ever fielded. Not many of them will be in the NFL long after they are gone from here.

Tremble wasn't terrible yesterday. I think a lot of people forget he was a blocking TE that caught a few passes here and there in college. The passing game was never his forte. It was always something he was going to need to work on and develop. Too bad work on and develop can be said of pretty much every pick under the Rhule era.

Tommy Tremble is a fullback.

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
