Can't find the other article that stated Doug Pederson may have been a big reason in picking Reagor over JJ and if thats true could add heat to the seat for Dougie P among others in the FO?

Would love to hear from Eagles fans if theres any truth to this.

The rift is not Justin Jefferson, it is losing. When you are losing like the Eagles are, where there is plenty of blame to pass around in multiple areas, you start questioning everything, including things like this. Bottom line is that it is way too early to make a judgement on whether Reagor is a bust or Jefferson was the better pick. In year one, absolutely Jefferson is playing way better than Reagor. But we've seen tides shift before on matters like this, and who knows what the future holds for both of these guys.

This conversation is just a side effect of the Eagles losing.

As @minutemancl stated, this is all about losing. If the Eagles were winning, this would largely be a non issue.  

And with the way Wentz is playing....would it matter who they took at WR?    I doubt any WR would be looking good with the Eagles this year.

Exactly.  Reagor should do just fine.  This has just been a brutal year for the Eagles. Give their offense time and they, and Reagor, will come around just fine.

Just read an article on ESPN with Doug Pederson praising Carson Wentz for being "vulnerable" with his teammates this week and some other crap trying to make himself look good as a coach. Can Pederson cut the ****? Since when does being vulnerable win football games? You gotta lead them boys and dominate not cower with vulnerability and all that crap. This ain't Oprah.

With the help of Premium Stats 2.0, we present to you the 10 highest-graded rookies in the NFL through Week 12 of the 2020 NFL season.

 

1. WR JUSTIN JEFFERSON, Minnesota Vikings

Jefferson has been putting on a route-running clinic all season long. He didn’t have his best day on Sunday against Carolina, earning just a 66.1 receiving grade, but Jefferson still flashed his route-running chops and grabbed a couple of explosive plays against single coverage. Despite the good-not-great game in Week 12, Jefferson remains with an elite PFF grade for the season at 90.1 — second only to Davante Adams. When diving into his performance against press coverage, Jefferson leaps Adams for the top spot. On those plays, he has hauled in 23-of-26 targets for 437 yards and three touchdowns.
 

2. OL MICHAEL ONWENU, NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS
3. T TRISTAN WIRFS, TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS
4. WR BRANDON AIYUK, SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS
5. RB ANTONIO GIBSON, WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM
6. LB MYKAL WALKER, ATLANTA FALCONS
7. G DAMIEN LEWIS, SEATTLE SEAHAWKS
8. QB JUSTIN HERBERT, LOS ANGELES CHARGERS
9. EDGE CHASE YOUNG, WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM
10. WR CHASE CLAYPOOL, PITTSBURGH STEELERS

Figured it was PFF when i seen Herbert all the way down at 8 instead of 1.

But this has to be one of the best oline classes in along time. Becton not even on the top 10?
