EaglesPeteC Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Ok take a gander at the roster and look at the ages. Who on this team is under 30 that you really feel good about moving forward? Let's look QB- Carson Wentz (27)- The beginning of this season has shaken my confidence but push comes to shove I think he is a top 12 QB RB- Miles Sanders (23) Stud WR- Jalen Reagor (21) Certainly can't tell much after these two games, but I believe in him, so I'll put him on the list TE- Dallas Goedart (25)- Looks like another stud TE in the making. DE- Josh Sweat (23) Looks good in flashes. I have more faith in him than Barnett DT- Fletcher Cox (29)- Still a beast but for how much longer. Barely under the threshold here DT- Javon Hargrave (27)- Haven't seen it in Philly yet, but I'll put him here anyway CB- Darius Slay (29)- a top CB and there is a noticable difference with him back there, but just under the cut off. How much longer does he got? That's it man. That's all I got. Even past that there aren't many players that I am just holding out blind faith for at this stage. Dillard? Maybe, hopefully but hard to get excited after this brutal start to his career. Ertz is 29 but I don't really see a long term future here anymore. I liked Hightower, Driscoll and Wallace coming out, but nothing to really report there yet. Will Parks? Is he a something? Who knows. Point is.....yikes. Old, hurt and crappy. Not a good combo.

If Carson can get his career back on track you can count him as well since QBs play to be older these days, but that's still a question mark for sure. Also I know y'all love to hate on Dillard but he exists and could be good maybe. K'Von Wallace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjapirate Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I'm actually starting to wonder if Cox is already washed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ_Eaglesfan Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) Well hopefully we can add at least one name To that list with a top pick in the draft this year. Edited September 25, 2020 by AZ_Eaglesfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a pass rusher, his best days are in the rearview. Still a stud run defender, but not worth his contract starting next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleBlueDon Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I think throwing Maddox in here is arguable. I think he can play outside, slot, and maybe even safety at a league average level at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jroc04 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 While it doesn’t look great on its face, I think we have to do a little more research. How do other teams stack up? We obviously haven’t been a great drafting team. But being young and not great means money for FAs and trades. So, that’s where I expect SOME holes to be filled, where the Eagles have been very successful. While a team like Dallas have drafted well and have barely the playoffs to show for it. Granted, Baltimore, who has a HoF in the FO just keeps finding ways. Bottom line, I’m not sure how good/bad the Eagles’ future looks. It does really hinge on a few guys and the next draft or two. A lot of Carson concerns but if he projects into a top 10 QB from here on out, having Sanders, Goedert, Reagor, Dillard is at least a very good core for the next 5-10 years. The OL really does need some attention, however. The defense is a bit concerning. I think the DBs are in decent shape, surprisingly. They are solid, yet unspectacular. The LBs are pretty terrible. Taylor and Bradley are clearly unproven but the team is putting resources into the position at least. Time will tell there. I’m sure another higher round pick is going there in 2021. The DL really concerns me, personally. I hate the position we are in. They only guy I can honestly say will be here in 2 years is Hargrave. And we have no idea he can play. Everyone else needs to be replaced sooner than later. We have a combo of underperformering, expensive, aging and not capable enough players. No bueno.

RBreezy Posted September 26, 2020 Share Posted September 26, 2020 We're also going to be in absolute cap hell for a year or two. I wish Lurie would grow a pair and clean out the Front Office. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
