OT: Philadelphia Eagles (NFL): Playoffs - Eagles Still Pick Sixth, They Have A Coach

[Bob Clarke Fan Club]

NFL source knows Eagles will take QB with #6. Sure. Like the Eagles even know which, if any, QB they like in this draft, since Sirianni has had so much time to study the college QBs. Howie is not drafting a QB without his new HC and QB coach being on board with the choice.

I'm just glad Sirianni and not Doug is advising Howie on this decision.

Howie is not going to give Wentz away to Indy, Ballard is known for being a tough negotiator, but Howie ain't a patsy. If all Indy is offering is a 2nd rd pick and spare change, there's no incentive for Howie to jump on it. Eat the bonus, shift some other money into 2022, because in the end you're gonna have to use both years to eat dead money while you rebuild. You're not going to make a big FA push until winter 2023 in any case (why waste 2 years of FA contracts while you're rebuilding to go 8-8 instead of 6-10?). And Wentz has no choice but to be a good citizen, otherwise he's suspended and they save beaucoup bucks.

Indy needs help in a lot of areas. The only way they became an actual contender was Stafford, Wilson or Watson(obviously not happening). Ballard doesn't play chicken.

I dunno if Zach Wilson will be a star NFL QB or be better than Trevor Lawrence... but I just can't shake the feeling Trevor Lawrence will never be anything more than an average QB in the NFL.

People just overrate arm strength and athleticism, Brady got stronger after he joined the NFL, but I doubt he's ever been in the top ten in arm strength.
Brees probably never cracked the top 20.
Rodgers might have the best arm of the three.
Peyton in his 30s couldn't move and lost some velocity, did it matter?
Of the four, Rodgers is the only one who could break a 5.0.

Football IQ, poise, vision, release, accuracy. Once you have average arm strength, and functional mobility, these are more important.
Some is innate, some can be coached up.

Well, he IS going to the Jags. So although he looks exceptional, there's a chance you're right.

Jacksonville is still a better landing spot than New York.

Depends. New York is a better landing spot for a giant meteor.

I'm not picky. This version of earth deserves it

If a giant meteor is coming to wipe the slate clean, I want to be as close to impact as possible to avoid suffering. I vote NY.

I'd kind of dig living in a post-apocalyptic hellhole, but I get this perspective.
