OT: Philadelphia Eagles (NFL): Draft Month (First Round - April 29th)

[JojoTheWhale]

Even Romo I think was pretty quickly the 2nd string guy.

Nah. Romo was the 3rd stringer for two full seasons. They even tried to get rid of him in his second offseason with the team, but Quincy Carter had substance abuse issues drive him out of the league. It was his 3rd year with the team when he became the backup.

That's an old name. Dang.

I've never been so happy Dallas drafted a QB in my life. Remember, I'm a Georgia fan.

(Sorry, Cap.)

There was only ever one Babe Laufenberg, but had it been possible, he would have been the second.

First time i've seen this angle of this play... unreal.

They drew up similar guidelines for media. I'm sure it will go over well.

::shrug::

I like these guidelines because the NFL/NFL Players is saying:

You can either get vaccinated, or not get vaccinated. The choice is yours, but isn't your choice to actively endanger co-workers.

He heard Tebow was doing it and thought "Hey i'm a washed-up guy from the 2010s...let's give TE a try"

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

Probably shouldn’t ignore value every year.

 

[deadhead]

Newman isn't a headcase. He's also accurate. PFF had him as the 2nd highest-graded QB on tight window throws in the country in 2019. First was Burrow, of course.

They probably just didn't like him enough to spend developmental time on him, which is fine. Remember he was a UDFA. This isn't someone they drafted. I would just prefer that the 3rd spot was used on someone developmental while they're rebuilding. When they're ready to contend, sure. Get a Mullens. Or don't sign Flacco and Mullens is your backup/mentor. I'd love that even more.

Mullens is an experienced NFL QB, they have a WR core consisting of a bunch of kids 25 and under, and a bunch of H-back candidates.

Which is more important in this TC, giving that spot to a 1 in 100 long shot UDFA QB rookie or an experienced QB who can help you evaluate and choose between a dozen receiver candidates?

Now maybe two years from now, with an established starting QB and a solid backup, and a set receiving corp, a long-shot makes more sense in that role. In that case the receivers help you evaluate the QB, not the other way around.

No, still lunacy. The most important thing this season is developing young players. If they don’t like Newman, no problem. If they do and cut him for a vet, problem. I’d prefer they find someone to develop they do like, but that’s a separate issue.

They have a clear starting QB and they signed an experienced vet backup. Mullens is not going to play. The 3rd string QB is not throwing 100 reps to Reagor every day unless they hook up after practice.

I would be completely on board with this and call it an excellent signing if Flacco wasn’t here. I’m not opposed to Mullens or the mentor QB role one tiny bit. But if Flacco doesn’t want to do that, he’s useless to you. Who cares if he can start 4 Games and play at a slightly higher level than Mullens? What value does that provide this year?

 

[deadhead]

Flacco has had elbow issues, he's not throwing 100s of passes, day after day, in TC.
Nor do you want him out there in the second half of exhibition games, taking shots.

Mullens is not throw reps to Reagor or Smith, he's throwing to Watkins, Hightower, JJAW, Ausbon, Jackson, Stoll, Butler.

Or you can have a meltdown like Cole Beasley and throw your career out the window because MAH FREEDOM.

 

[Prongo]

all star hanging them up.

Just realized this was 14 hours old ha. Was throwing them back last night so was largely out of touch with social media and all

Are you Cole's doctor? How do you know that he doesn't have a legitimate reason to not want the vaccine? Also, just curious, did you consider Colin Kaepernick's actions a career ruining meltdown for MUH FREEDOM? Or is standing up for what you believe in only okay when you agree with that person's view?

His litany of tweets and responses like comparing it to the flu and bringing religion into it show it's not a medical issue for him.
