Yeah he's been great so far, I'm more thinking about the money concerns considering at the least Jeffery and Jernigan need to be resigned. Bradham too but if it comes down to it we can lose him and keep the other two. Kelce will cost a bit much, although if they want to keep him on a restructured deal that would be good.

NFL 2017 Week 4 |OT| Taking a stand by taking a knee
- Thread starter gutshot
- Start date
Everything about their QB situation was handled in the worst way possible. Cutler was a bad quarterback who got a ridiculous contract he didn't deserve. Then when the finally jettison Cutler, the replace him with an even worse quarterback and pay him even more money, and then piss away multiple draft picks to trade up for a QB they would have gotten anyway.
Like, holy shit, you have to try to fuck up that badly.
Aren't injuries (especially to the head/neck) just as bad in rugby as they are in the NFL?
Just so we're clear - i dont actually know the answer but i remember conversations along this line happening
The Bears handling of their QB situation makes the Texans look like the Packers since 1992.

I am super interested to see what the Eagles do in a few years when Wentz's salary jumps up to over $20m a year. Joe Douglas better be a god damn wizard at finding cheap talent.
When did I say that? There's still a lot of games left, but if Doug's offense keeps up this pace...Then ya, were better this year than any year with chip. This is the best defense we've had since the JJ days.
Literally one of the best examples of QB consistency and development is 4 hours north of them and they never learned a damn thing for 3 decades.
I am too, but it basically depends on how the next couple drafts go. It's very early, but the 2016 and 2017 drafts look good for replenishing younger talent. Pretty much everyone taken besides Pumphrey and Nate Gerry are at least solid depth at their positions, with 4-5 potential starters. By the time Wentz needs a contract, Peters, Curry, Celek, Kelce, possibly Brandon Brooks, Jenkins, and a few other older, high salary guys will be off the books and most likely done with football. Wentz got drafted into the last few years of the current Eagles identity, which is why the cap is so tight because (in combination with poor drafting), a lot of the veterans got their big and last deals. Next year I think will be the peak of this current Eagles team, and after that a lot of the stalwarts over the last 5 years are gonna retire and they'll have to build a new one

oh man this is amazing.
oh man this is amazing.
That's my QB.A couple of Wentz tweets I found interesting:
CTE and Concussions are still an issue, mostly because of the peoole in the front 8 and of course having bodies collide will lead to that, but no padding leads to people not thinking their bodies are invincible.

Ummm, I guess you must think that every team can get back to back HOF quarterbacks if they just... try hard enough?
The Packers developed a decent amount backup QBs who went on to be starters for other teams during that time.
Giants defense definitely hasn't been as good. Spags has said FS Darian Thompson is getting a reduced role. I'm okay with that as he's been extremely disappointing with his Asante Samuel like tackling. Time for JPP to step up too.
No, but if you want to compare through the first 3 weeks, Skins/Chiefs/Giants is a much harder defense with a much better DL than 2016 Browns/Bears/Steelers. And in general, NFC East faces the NFC and AFC West, where it's harder to find a team with a bad defense than good one, compared to the AFC and NFC North, which has the Ravens, Vikings, and maybe Bengals?
Steelers finished 10th pts/12th in yards last year. As for the Redskins, their defense has one great outing but no one should put them on a pedastal. The Chiefs are still missing their best defensive player. And I noted the Giants and how they struggled notably getting off the field on third down. Spags got by last year with these crazy blitz packages and unless he's doing that again the pass rush doesn't appear that often. JPP is one who gets pegged by some fans for padding his stats against bad teams, as he did last year. He got paid and now he's a ghost.
Agree it is, on paper, a tough schedule for some teams especially ones with poorer lines. But the Eagles are loaded on both sides of that, moreso than the Giants are.

A couple of Wentz tweets I found interesting:
How was Prescot 24 of 30 with a 61% completion percentage?
Oh yeah. Although I'm talking purely in terms of the pass rush and sack numbers. There are coverage sacks of course, but generally it's the pass rusher's ability. And the pass rush for the Skins/Giants/Chiefs > pass rush from the 2016 Browns/Bears/Steelers.
But ultimately, a lot of it is Wentz' fault anyway for holding onto the ball too long
He meant to type 9, not 0. Made a mistake:
Mitchell will lead the Bears to the promised land! They shall be slightly below average!
Someone hit 0 when they meant to hit 9. He was 24 of 39.

Whatched a few replays of the hit, id say intentional or not two game suspension amd a fine would be understandable.

Pro's of not sleeping a lot means that I can listen to a lot of music, which made me come to the realization once again how great the Foo Fighters are. They are in my top 4 bands for sure.
