I can’t believe the Eagles paid Hurts. The guy cannot throw the ball downfield and has two legit WR’s in Brown and Smith

They could’ve just drafted someone like Milroe and not missed a beat 

Lol. Milroe is literally the poorest man's version of Hurts. If you don't like Hurts you definitely won't like Milroe.

I’m saying they could plug in Milroe for a fraction of the cost and things wouldn’t really be any different

No, they would be substantially worse. That's not a 1:1. 

I wouldn't have wanted to pay Hurts either but I also wouldn't have wanted to pay Lawrence or Goff or Dak or most of these recent contract guys. Nor would I want to be paying Purdy. 

At this point, that is just sort of the price of a starting QB anymore.

QB contracts are getting so crazy that honestly I'm of the opinion that if he's not legit MVP caliber you're better off letting him walk and drafting one. When you pay decent starters huge money you have to make the type of roster decisions that you can't afford to make unless it's for an MVP caliber player.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
