We can only hope.It's possible that Laurie is making Howie clean up his mess this year and then saying goodbye next year.

Add Waddle to the list as well. All 3 will help us big time.There's nothing really to identify with the WRs. It's Smith or Chase. Whether they pan out as studs is on them and the coaching. They have the talent. Only way to screw this up is to not take either if they're both available.
I've been insinuating that from the start
McManus reported today that he’s heard it was Lurie who liked and wanted HurtsWe can only hope.
I was told take whatever Lurie says with a Grain of Salt big time. He's way more involved then he tells the mediaAdd Waddle to the list as well. All 3 will help us big time.

If nothing else that Jeff is a damn good friend, but you’re not fooling me by taking these bullets for Howie lol
If you’re keeping track at home that is now everyone who wanted Hurts. Doug, Howie and now Lurie all reported in the last month. These writers are just hedging at this pointI was told take whatever Lurie says with a Grain of Salt big time. He's way more involved then he tells the media
I have no recollection of any QB picked in the 2d rd that didnt even get one regular season snap before being so bad that he was out of the league..... know Watson/Mahomes werent top 3 picks but the Jets GM should have easily seen they were better than Hack....it will be up to the Eagles GM to see if any at #6 really are franchise worthy....if they are then dont let Hurts stop you from drafting one...better to have 2 possible answers at QB than noneAhh good ole Hackenburg that my PSU homer friends were telling me they'd have taken over Wentz and others that year and blamed James Franklin the coach for how bad he was. I can't remember a more overrated recruit who ended up being such a bust in college.
Correct. It all comes down to their evaluation. If they have a guy in front of them that has franchise QB/star potential you can’t pass on that.I have no recollection of any QB picked in the 2d rd that didnt even get one regular season snap before being so bad that he was out of the league..... know Watson/Mahomes werent top 3 picks but the Jets GM should have easily seen they were better than Hack....it will be up to the Eagles GM to see if any at #6 really are franchise worthy....if they are then dont let Hurts stop you from drafting one...better to have 2 possible answers at QB than none
Next story will be Carson asked for Hurts and caused his own destruction.If you’re keeping track at home that is now everyone who wanted Hurts. Doug, Howie and now Lurie all reported in the last month. These writers are just hedging at this point
Just awful. And with Howie making the picks the Colts are getting Wentz for freePhiladelphia has agreed to trade Carson Wentz to the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for a 2021 third-round pick and a conditional 2022 second-round pick that could turn into a first, league sources tell @mortreport and me.
Probably the best they were gonna do.Philadelphia has agreed to trade Carson Wentz to the Indianapolis Colts in exchange for a 2021 third-round pick and a conditional 2022 second-round pick that could turn into a first, league sources tell @mortreport and me.
Agreed but this was a self made situation for Howie. He screwed up every step of the way.Just awful. And with Howie making the picks the Colts are getting Wentz for free
And my ST prices went up again. The Eagles are going to suck big time for 2 or 3 years. They have huge cap issues, and major holes just about everywhere. Where they don't have holes, they have aging vets. Yet, Teflon Howie still has a job.Just awful. And with Howie making the picks the Colts are getting Wentz for free
I’m curious what needs to happen for that to be a 1. Hoping it’s based on starts but doubt it’s that easy.Agreed but this was a self made situation for Howie. He screwed up every step of the way.
If Carson gets the Colts to the Super Bowl, I imagine we get a 1st but it's basically a 2nd at that point since it would be 31 or 32.
It’s astonishing how he is able to “fix” this and start a rebuild with as bad as he’s been.And my ST prices went up again. The Eagles are going to suck big time for 2 or 3 years.

hmm, well that does sound better. C'mon Carson, get yourself healthyPer Mike Garafolo on twitter conditions for 2nd round pick to upgrade to 1st:
75% of snaps
or
70% of snaps and Coltz make playoffs

I’m curious what needs to happen for that to be a 1.
Not too bad and very doable. Wonder what happens if he flames and they cut him?Per Mike Garafolo on twitter conditions for 2nd round pick to upgrade to 1st:

Pretty decent potential at getting a 1 and 3 for himFleeced. Get rid of Howie pls!
so we are hoping for wentz to play 75% of snaps but to be terrible and the colts to lose as much as possible.Pretty decent potential at getting a 1 and 3 for him
But yes, fire him now that this is done. He awful and can’t be part of this rebuild.
exactly. Let Carson stay healthy and the Colts tank. Considering Houston is a possible even-worse organization than the Eagles right now, we need the Jags and Titans to step up their game and blow the Colts awayso we are hoping for wentz to play 75% of snaps but to be terrible and the colts to lose as much as possible.
shouldnt be too hard to root against him.
Jeff McLane @Jeff_McLaneI think I'd rather have the rumored deal of 2 2nds than bet on Wentz playing 3/4 of the snaps (for health reasons more than beating out Jacoby Brissett).
With that contract and the question marks, I think they'll be doing well to get a 2nd and a conditional 2022 4th that can upgrade to 2022 2nd.
Objectively he has nude pics / dirt on Lurie to still have his job. He needs to be fired yesterday, this will just get worse.And my ST prices went up again. The Eagles are going to suck big time for 2 or 3 years. They have huge cap issues, and major holes just about everywhere. Where they don't have holes, they have aging vets. Yet, Teflon Howie still has a job.
i think it helps to unload him nowI"m not a cap nerd and don't understand it very well....but does this move help with the Eagles cap situation in 2022 or are they on the hook for more Wentz money then?
Pretty sure we are off the books with him completely after this year.I"m not a cap nerd and don't understand it very well....but does this move help with the Eagles cap situation in 2022 or are they on the hook for more Wentz money then?
This was part of the Rotoworld blurb so take it for what it’s worth...I"m not a cap nerd and don't understand it very well....but does this move help with the Eagles cap situation in 2022 or are they on the hook for more Wentz money then?
How Philly would it be to draft another QB from the same college after ruining the old one? LolCan we change the thread topic to The Lance Era is Upon Us?
That’s this year though right, not 2022?This was part of the Rotoworld blurb so take it for what it’s worth...
The Eagles will also take on $33.8 million in dead-money cap penalties, the largest number in league history for one player.
Not a matter of valuing him like that. They knew the Eagles ####ed themselves and had to move him. They took away the threat of we can bring him back with how they handled the player. So no one is going to pay highly for that.modogg said:yeah, Colts did a good job holding Howie to the fire and got a bit of a steal.
Never would have thought Sam Bradford would go for more than Carson Wentz did, funny how there was a large contingent of Eagles' fans loving Carson this year still, and then when we see how the other 31 NFL teams value him he is worth only a 3rd round pick
If Hurts plays like crap, Wentz gets back to normal and we pass on a star QB I may just have to quit football for a while. This is going to be Earl Thomas/ Brandon Graham or JJAW/ DK Metcalf x 10. It will be SOOOO BAD here for a long, long timei don't trust Howie for anything, but ideally i would love to see the Eagles trade down and acquire more picks. Let Hurts play for a year with a crap team and see what we get out of it.
If there was ever a year for Doug to coach this would be it. Pederson loved to always push the "underdog" mentality and being counted out. well this year, the Eagles are officially counted out.
If he didn’t want the Bears that deal couldn’t happen anyway.Man all of the news is flying out now it seems. Sounds like the only team alive in the trade talks was the Colts. Bears backed out and didn't want him, and no other QB needy team wanted to try Carson.
I wonder if other teams felt that the 2020 Carson is the real Carson at this point with no one wanting the kid.
maybe. there are a lot of teams that need a QB, just surprised no one wanted to give Carson a try outside of Indy.If Hurts plays like crap, Wentz gets back to normal and we pass on a star QB I may just have to quit football for a while. This is going to be Earl Thomas/ Brandon Graham or JJAW/ DK Metcalf x 10. It will be SOOOO BAD here for a long, long time

The cap being what it is due to COVID crushed potential buyers. Wentz is like 16% of the cap for a team. That eliminates tons of teams.
