It's a smart move because of age, cost & his ascending production...that doesn't make him a good starting calibre WR...it makes him a guy who could become that...we still don't know if he would or wouldn't have because he has been hurt...my point is no one was saying that Pringle was going to be some #1 1,000 yard receiver and I think it is pretty clear Poles knew that as well...I was listening to Hoge & Jahns today and Hoge was talking about how he struggled to rewatch the All 22 of the Commanders game not because we were bad but because he was questioning how many of these guys were actually going to matter and be here next year...there will be a massive overhaul of this roster in the offseason and that is where we will see what moves Poles actually wants to make.

He could have added more than 2 long term players this season. He missed a lot… even with limited resources. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys are replacement level signings and the contracts prove that… Again I am not saying I wouldn’t have invested more especially in the OL but it is clear what the strategy is…if we have a terrible year this year then dominate the division for the next 10 would anyone care? Of course not…bottom line is this is how Poles thinks we are best to build for long term success and we are all just along for the ride…until year 3 or 4 we won’t truly know if he was right or wrong. He had a responsibility to do more for Fields. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poles' fans talked about how he was ascending and a steal Andy Reid let him go after he lost Hill and he cost next to nothing to keep. He went out and got a bunch of other new guys instead. I pointed this out again and again offseason. Whatever nice words Reid had to say about Pringle, those actions speak louder. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sugashane Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Honestly we could go out and get 3 OL and a TE like Moreau. I'm still on the trade for Ridley train too. Spend the bulk of FA on proven vets and then draft what is needed on defense or depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m with you on signing a lot of proven vets…when it comes to the draft though I want BPA…we lack elite talent all over the team…we need to find some studs regardless of need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Poles really goes BPA when there is a smaller set if needs then I'm all for it. I just don't believe most go BPA so I'm skeptical. I'm definitely a fan of the practice. If you have a stud at QB you've got a chance for a long successful run at a franchise. Get talent at OT, EDGE, and CB then you can patchwork around them for deep runs. Any studs make the depth piece easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually I would agree that you need to balance need & BPA but when you could be doing with almost everything got BPA 😂…of course target value positions like you said but get elite talent who can be game wreckers…an elite DL for example completely changes this defence very quickly.

I won't get my hopes up for Anderson. I saw Garrett and Donald both go right before our pick so I'm being a pessimist he falls to us somehow. lol But... I regrettably am getting attached to Jalen Carter. That being said if we can trade down and get Murphy I would be damn pleased. Could be a base DE and then kick into 3T if we run a NASCAR package like Rod Marinelli did. Gipson and Robinson (both with another year to grow and hopefully develop) on the outside and Murphy and a base 3T on the inside would be an improvement for passrush. Ricks and Ringo are other names I wouldn't hate to see drafted early by us but I am desperate to surround Fields with a ton of talent. Give him a year or two to see if he is the guy and if not the rookie gets a hell of a supporting cast - like Fields SHOULD have had this year.

I am right there with you...draft Carter...sign Yannick Ngakoue...watch QBs hit the turf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
