The Eagles traded Caron because Carson got his feelings hurt and couldn’t get over it. The Eagles didn’t trade Carson because he got his feelings hurt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyMossIsBoss Posted February 18, 2021 Author Share Posted February 18, 2021 Unless there is a steep drop off in 2021 QB class to 2022 QB class, then I strongly oppose trading assets to get a QB in 2021, but not as strongly as I oppose sitting at 6 and taking whoever’s left. We have a QB we just drafted last year in the 2nd, to already quit on him (and not fire Howie) would make my brain melt. He didn’t look great, but he certainly didn’t look bad either. I absolutely think he’s worth giving a year, meanwhile use draft capital to bolster our bottom tier roster. Not further gut it just to get a rookie QB who will come in w/ less help than Wentz has had. If Hurts sucks, we take the QB in 2022. So what’s the consensus? Steep drop off in 2022 or what? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie is going to operate under the assumption we will pick 32nd next year, so right now is the best chance to get a QB. Not to mention a rookie QB can buy Howie a year or two of job security as he develops. If we draft a QB #6, it will make Howie and this Organization look even more incompetent. Which sounds about right but there is ZERO REASON to not give Jalen Hurts a chance. You drafted him, you wanted him to play, You Howie need to give him 2021 to sink or swim. Period!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of TLaw the 2021 and 2022 draft will be comparable. At least in terms of prospects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact he played like a diaper blowout after Arizona. Do the Cards look dumb for moving on from Rosen and taking Kyler? If we take a QB and he's good, it's a great move. If he sucks, then it's a bad move. Edited February 18, 2021 by Jeezla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kids insanely talented and if he can be held accountable he will thrive. Press Taylor being in Indy really makes me wonder though. Not a good fit with that coach specifically I think he is a long shot to turn it around. A major part of what made him good was his escape ability. His athleticism has really declined and isn't going to get better. He is also a head case and his mechanics have been getting progressively worse for years now. I don't think it is a given his mechanics improve considering they haven't in 3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they want to give Hurts a year then fine. The only dumb thing they can do is not draft a QB they love and becomes great because they drafted Hurts a year prior.

DeJack_10 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 How long until Carson says "We have to take a long hard look at ourselves" or "I have to be better"? Over or under 3 games? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

About as ridiculous as his fall I’d imagine. I’d take Washington Rex Grossman over how Carson played this year. He lost us games this year.

Make it make sense Yeah this was fair for what it is. Would’ve been nice to get a little something extra or gotten Carson to rework the deal to lessen the dead cap hit for us. But we get to move that contract and can move on easily after this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hurts came in and you can almost see the chemistry instantly change not just with Reagor, but with the team. The OL started blocking better, I know Im not the only one who saw that. He came in, in a even uglier situation and performed better than Wentz. Don't remember who pointed it out here, but made an excellent point. Rodgers was pleading for help in the draft, they also took a QB in the early rounds and dude responded with a MVP season. Wentz was kicking and screaming on the floor and eventually wanted out instead of competing with a second year qb for the starting job next year. We hired a Reich guy as HC, and dude still wanted out.... deuces. I appreciate Wentz for 2017 but truth is he went out like a coward. It was definitely time to move on. Now I countdown for Roseman to be fired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jroc04 Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Just spit balling and I know my heads in the clouds but can’t get Watson out of my head. How many teams have an opening and are realistically in position and in the market for a QB? 8-10? How many of those teams would he go to? 3-4? The rumors of him going for 3-4 1sts I think are overblown. He’s going to go for much lower I think. When’s that shoe drop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
