Is There Any Merit In Trying To Deal Otah To Philadelphia?

I am an Otah fan..he maulhed the Giants Defensive line on Monday Night football and is Elite when healthy. Hopefully Rivera and staff shut him down last season to invest in the win now season and get Otah in form.

If Otah is unhealthy this year, then he is gone and not resigned.

....but if healthy... we have a pro bowl like RT and we will praise the trainers and staff for shelving him as he signs an awful contract with the Redskins next season!

I am not so sure they are in the market for another injured tackle

No?

Profootballtalk.com, the Eagles have contacted the agent of former San Diego Chargers Pro Bowl offensive tackle Marcus McNeill. McNeill was a one of the best offensive tackles in the NFL for a number of years until the 2011 season when he suffered a serious neck injury.

if there is no evidence that otah has found a way to overcome his inability to play through pain, i would take a fifth-rounder in a heartbeat. there is virtually no chance he'll be here next year.

Disagree.

No way we let him walk if he plays 14+ games and has a probowl season.

Dude is the most talented player on the line.

My prediction, he plays out the season. Plays well, then gets franchised. Plays out the next season, and if we plays 14+ games again, he will be signed long term deal that will be incentive laden.

i agree - i preceded my statement with

clearly if he plays the majority of games he has overcome the ability to play through pain, and he'd be an asset to hang onto. as it stands we have seen zero evidence to that end.

oh my bad.

Then I believe we are in a agreement.

If he plays less than 10 games then he will probably walk.

If he can't make it through a contract year then he needs to be let go.

Its a shame too cause the dude is talented enough to be an all pro.

    • Yards a game works better over a longer period of time as well. Averages always work out over the long run. The smaller the sample size the easier it is to skew. Also opponents matter more when the size is small. Player 1 lights up 2 bad defenses in 4 starts vs Player 2 playing 10 games vs multiple defenses. It hard to make it apples to apples how it currently sits. Remember during Bryce’s little run last year how annoyed you were when people were pulling Bryce’s starts from week 9 on vs the whole season. 
    • Someone else claimed I said EVERY.  Literally in my post breaking it down it gave Bryce TDs per game.   Shough however has the majority in his favor if just looking at starts. whats subjective about comp %, yards, QB ratings and turnovers?  Now I guess the argument one might make off them could be subjective.  But all I’m saying is statistically as a starter he has been better this year overall.  I don’t think Shough is great.  I think he is impressive based on the situation.  2nd rounder stepping in on a bad team.   And he like so many other QBs…..serves as little red flag going off about what we are doing here offensively. 
    • Player A - 2 starts.  200 yards in each start. He averages 200 yards a game.  Player B - 1 start.  Throws for 400 yards.  Comes in another random game and has 1 pass attempt on a Hail Mary to end the game that goes incomplete.   Now given the random game he appeared for a snap, he averages 200 yards a game. Thats why you isolate starts. If you are talking starter vs someone who began as a backup.  Simple made up numbers/situations to illustrate the point.
