OT: Philadelphia Eagles: Bring On The Seahawks

[David St Hubbins]

Carson got a lot of heat this season for not putting the team on his back and winning and there were a lot of question marks about him all year, but my goodness looking at this team now I'm not sure if they win five games without Carson. And I was doubting him all year too. I can't tell you how many times I had to google google someone that caught a pass yesterday.

I think it is safe to say we have a franchise QB. Now get him some real, actual WRs next season that are not made of glass!

Acknowledging the injuries and weak WRs, but FFS, the guy's accuracy is just for shit. No reason for Boston to make a circus catch on a screen, nor TEs to be plucking balls off the carpet. Credit for leadership, but he needs to really step up his accuracy or he's not only gonna lose games, he's gonna get a receiver killed.

 

[Striiker]

Oh, I’m sorry, you’re right. I was thinking of this...

 

[SnS]

If that's true, it's the best hire of the entire offseason no matter where they go. What the actual hell?

I’d kill for the Panthers to go this direction.

Exactly. And saying this doesn't mean you don't like him. He has some slight improvements to make. Sometimes he's incredibly accurate...then sometimes he's high. Just needs to be more consistent. The high throws are the trouble IMO.

This doesn't mean he is the problem, he's very much part of the solution.

 

[Sombastate]

Oh, I’m sorry, you’re right. I was thinking of this...

I mean, either way, the guy had a great season.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Going back to Week 5...

Zuerlein just misses a 44 yard field goal against the Seahawks.

He makes that kick and the Rams are heading to Philly this weekend and the Seahawks are on the outside.

 

[Striiker]

I mean, either way, the guy had a great season.

Absolutely. It’s impossible to not be impressed.

 

[Kermit the Prog]

Garrett will not be retained and Shurmur was fired.

So we’re getting three new coaches in the NFC East next year.

Looks like Rivera could be named the Redskins’ HC today.

A rare solid move by Washington. Always liked Rivera. He was great in 48 Hours and Predator.

yes. I do not like. Browns should have been after Rivera. They need an experienced HC imo.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

lol.

JERRRRRYYYYYYYY

(It wouldn't surprise me if they just held Kitna or something.)

No one is saying he couldn’t improve. But cherry picking plays is the definition of biased results. He was a 64% thrower this year and could be more efficient. Are there stats about throw aways. These need to accounted for too. I get it, every qb has that issue, but wentz was under a whole lot of pressure this year.

Every throw isn’t going to be perfect. The difference is starting to become clear, when wentz misses a throw he should have made its used against him. I saw Wilson miss a back wide open with a pass yesterday and the comment? Along the lines of get back into the huddle and regroup.

maybe Wilson gets that because he’s won the super bowl and everything, but let’s keep judging all QBs on the same level. Prior accomplishments mean shit in the moment of a game.

But what about Kellen Moore?

 

[Captain Dave Poulin]

I'm just picking through the various credible mocks put out today and if you were worried about missing out on a Ruggs, he could still very well be there in the mid 20s.

Lamb is completley off the board, of course.

I saw one (that seemed terrible otherwise) which said something I have been thinking - after the combine, he might shoot up the board.

 

[BigToe]

Lmao. Hate to see it.

Which sites are you using Jojo? I think I should stop reading Walterfootball.

He's not perfect, but even with making bad throws he's still the guy. He's thrown too many in the dirt to open targets this year, definitely my biggest pet peeve with him and definitely why I was questioning him earlier this season, but he also has made terrific throws throughout the season. If he had a healthy team all year I don't think anyone even blinks at an eye about his accuracy (not to mention I think the stat I saw yesterday was that he's over 80% during the last three games or something like that).

They're not bad at all for final mock accuracy, but their scouting is...lacking.

TheDraftNetwork.com is the best single resource out there. Their crew (Crabbs/Marino/Sikkema/Reid/Solak) is generally very good, although I have zero interest in Jonah Tuls' work in general. Other national writers worth reading would include Dane Brugler at The Athletic, PFF's various sundry, and Josh Norris from Rotoworld.

For QB specific traditional scouting, I like Mark Schofield.

For Eagles-focused draft content, your best bets are generally Michael Kist, Ben Solak, and Fran Duffy.

For testing numbers, Kent Lee Platte (@MathBomb) puts out the best spreadsheet and single athletic metric every year.

@Cover_1_ is one of my favorites, but he's Bills-focused. Dalton Miller would be a good read if you were interested in the Cowboys.

 

[Halladay]

So I was listening to the local radio here in Houston and one of them has connections with the Cowboys and media in Dallas. Was told there is a 15% chance that the next Cowboys head coach is ….. Jason Witten. I cant see this happening his year but in the future yes.

 

[JXC]

Wentz took a lot of criticism through the bulk of this year and in my opinion it was deserved. However, if you look at his December, even if you really fine-tooth-combed it, in four games you would find maybe, maybe, twenty inaccurate throws in some 160 attempts. That’s pretty bleeping good.

Well said sir

 

[achdumeingute]

2020 opponents released. We play AFC central, NFC West, saints, and Packers.

That suuuuucks.

i dont expect him to be perfect either but they cant afford to have a ton of 3 and outs and turnovers against these teams or else it will be a blow out.
