The amount of national journalists that have Gannon in the back of their throats is astonishing to me.  This narrative that he's gotten more out of that roster than anyone has any business doing is laughable.  They still only won 4 games, they had a -125 pt differential, and their defensive head coach put out the worst defense in the NFL.  Yeah they were expected to be bad, but did he really get the most out of that roster?  They lost a lot of games because the defense that he was in charge of collapsed in the 2nd half.

They lost their starting QB and traded their back up.
They clearly weren't trying to win this year.
Still, they beat the Steelers, Falcons, Eagles and Cowboys - three playoff teams.
Five losses were by one score.
Their picks in 2024 go 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4, 5, 5, 7, 7.

There is a lot of promise there.

That's fair, but what does any of that have to do with them being the worst defense in the NFL and blowing a lot of 2nd half leads? That doesn't fit the narrative of a team that plays hard for their coach.

So, besides Budda Baker who do they have on defense?

I mean, there's Kyzir White who led the team in tackles and only played 11 games.

Jalen Thompson was the only guy with more than one interception.

Dante Stills and Zaven Collins had 3.5 sacks each.

Most people don't know the last three guys existed, unless they went to WSU, WVU or Tulsa.

They don't have great individual performers.

He did a lot with a little, very little.

Outside of Baker or White, name a guy you'd want off that squad?

Another Derek Barnett sack…… 😑

Now, he gets the pressure which forced Flacco into lobbing up a pass right to other former Eagle, Steven Nelson, for the pick 6.

BTW Barnett has by far a higher PFF grade than any Eagles defender since joining Houston…. can’t make this stuff up!!

At least got Jake got All-Pro. Well deserved.

Kelce was the only Eagle to make 1st team, but great seasons for all 4. Jake The Make was easily our most consistent good player. Dallas found a great one too. Aubrey deserved that 1st team nod, but both guys should be 99 overall kickers on Madden. Wonder if either guy will ever get the chance to hit from 67+ to beat Tuckers distance record.

I'm seeing a pattern here. 

That what, FQB are treated differently then the other players on the roster? Shocking!

Name a true FQB that is treated with kid gloves,  differently?

You mean that is not treated with kid gloves? If so, Brady according to that interview.

But I meant more on the note of not disciplining QBs to the extent that it ends up costing to the team in the long run.
