Also having 3* first round picks will be greatly beneficial as well. Wouldn't be surprised at all if you aren't the #4 talent wise as the season goes on, but I think it's fair to start at #4/"worst" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QB obviously means a lot more than other positional groups. I dont think I agree that Philly has a better group of starters at OL. You mention Cowboys injuries, but Kelce/Lane/Brooks are all either old or injury prone. Collins was better than Lane their last year starting, Smith just got surgery for the first time in his career (fix neck) and both Smith/Martin are better than Dillard/Brooks. I can get behind your Zeke assessment, but Barkley is always hurt and Pollard is at least somewhat proven. Totally agree on the QB thing. It's massive. Okay so Smith is objectively better than Mailata/Dillard and I'll give you Martin over Brooks just for the sake of argument (honestly a coin flip). That then leaves me with Seumalo objectively over Williams at LG, Kelce objectively over Biadasz at C and Johnson objectively over Collins at RT. Our depth is arguably the best in the NFL from how much guys had to play last year and how well they actually performed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our depth is arguably the best in the NFL from how much guys had to play last year and how well they actually performed. I think the lines are pretty close, but ours is younger (I think). I was pleasantly surprised with our OL play when you factor in how many insane injuries we had. Went through 2-3 centers, 2-3 OGs, down to our 5th string OT. The young pups shocked me by not being absolutely terrible outside of the RT. Do the Eagles have the talent to take advantage of a solid OL? Thats going to be a key question imo. Probably relies a lot on how quickly Smith and Hurts look NFL ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably relies a lot on how quickly Smith and Hurts look NFL ready. We had a ton of injuries too and our guys like Driscoll, Mailata, Herbig really impressed the hell outta me. Hurts is literally everything for us now and how we go about things in the future. He holds this franchises present and future solely in his hands.

Matts4313 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Did drug addiction ruin your former QB? Turn on ESPN for more analysis: "I really feel like I have a new passion for the game," Wentz said, per Jonathan X. Simmons of the Indy Star. "I've been high, I've been injured, I've been, now, benched, I've been traded, I've kinda seen a lot in five years, so whatever the game throws at me, I'm ready."

Kiltman Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Makes sense with the news the other day that his wife was becoming co-COO. Probably the farthest they’ll go without direct legal issues, other owners don’t want to give the nfl a kill switch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan will hide for a year then creep back and start ruining things like he always does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabbs4u Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Wentz is going to be scary good in Indy. However when that occurs, Matts please take your Dak vs Wentz BS to that forum and try to engaged the 3 active members they have there, thanks!

MikeT14 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Lot of Daniel Jones hot takes on twitter today (including a run on him being faster than Lamar). This season needs to start already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is why I chuckle each time a Philly fan says "we all suck so we could all win". That said, we are one Dak injury from being crap along with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealMcCoy Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Hopefully this is a distraction and causes Dallas to underperform but they probably don’t need Hard Knicks to accomplish that. 🤔 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
