AZ_Eaglesfan Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Just now, Nabbs4u said: Reminds me of another 1st rd DE whose career started his Eagle career of with injuries, BG! While DB has been far from a Stud thus far, at least he's not Jerome Mcdougall. Or lets hope 🤞 he remains healthy from here on out and doesn't. I think the issue with Barnett is that he was supposed to be the guy that came out of college "ready to play". He was supposed to be pretty polished already and had big production in college. He was limited athletically which is why a lot of people didn't like the selection. Is his career doomed? No way, he will be in the NFL for a long time, but I have serious doubts he will ever be a upper echelon DE which is what you want when taking a player that early in the draft.

OBJ, Dalvin Cook, the countless others It’s like the good players “shockingly” go and then they pull straws from a hat on safe picks and only ever gamble on hurt players. Like Barnett has been ok since we got him, but he’s not having the impact a top 15 picked DE should have.   Wasn't Barnett the guy you got for tricking the Vikings into taking Bradford?

Daimonas Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 go for broke. cut the entire secondary. im sure having no one out there will probably be slightly better than having these bums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The effectiveness would be comparable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but I think Minnesota jumped us for him IIRC TBH I didn't know who Barnett was before we drafted him. Oops. just pointing out how often their crush of the draft, sans Chips crush on Mariota and Dion, goes on to be good and we get stuck with someone lesser with no high ceiling. Cooks instead of Nelly is another recent one. Like we arent moving up to get the guy we want early anymore, and we aren't using our picks or moving back to get a quantity of players with ceilings to become something other than injured layers.. It just seems patchwork and isn't working. Like the JJAW pick over a lot of the other receivers on the board optimizes the issue. Yeah he was an intriguing prospect, but you had a ton of more boom potential at wideout. And with the old roster, could have moved back too. This is also on the back of a year where we saw what not having a guy to go down the field killed our offense. It's all hidesight and everything...it just seems so common with how it goes for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagles23 Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Barnett is fine. Just minimize the penalties and continue to develop. Great Pass Rushers arent easy to find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMossIsBoss Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 I was fine with Rodgers being our boogey man, he is an elite QB. It was nice to finally beat him this year, and I was hoping that meant we'd do the same for our other, far more embarrassing, boogey man, but unfortunately he had his best game yet. This dweeb continues to kill us and it angers me. Our only wins against him were his first start vs us (he balled out and hung 34, but Nicky 9s hung a little deeper w/ 37), and during the miraculous 2017 where the world was upside down. Cousins vs Eagles 6-3 despite being underdogs in all but 2 games, 306 Y/G, 67% completion rate, 21 TDs to 6 INTs, 104.9 passer rating.         Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we play him in a big primetime game or playoff game... he will turn into the turd that he is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even healthy that secondary is bottom 10 in the league. Plus injuries have been a massive problem for three years now. Once sucks, two's a coincidence, three's a trend. Vikings schooled us fair and square. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
