Those first two are right on. I mean I hope Hurts improves. He'll have another full offseason in the same offense, so it's possible. Sadly I don't think it's likely. I'd put it at around 70% chance we need a new QB next year. On the good side though, we'll have plenty of ammo and a better WR corps to entice a QB.
Their predictions all at least have some serious thought put into it, I'll give them that. Every year at least they are consistently biased against each team. I reread them several times throughout the year to gauge their accuracy.
We've got AJ Brown who has a career high receiving yard in a season of 1,075, paired with Devonte Smith, who had 916 yds. Goedert had 830. So - we're looking at ~2850 yds for our top 3 receiving weapons.
I don't think receiving yards is the measuring stick here. Hurts could be awful and the numbers low and that wouldn't be a representation of how talented the receivers are at all.
Your bolded phrase above seems like a slam dunk pointing to the current WR group. A Heisman Trophy award winner(coupled with his production last year in a limited passing offense) and AJB's track record seem like a no brainer, IMO>
No I get it's not the end all. Kinda just saying these guys have never really done much to indicate that their talent is better then other combos we've had.
Ya I just think aj brown is a better receiver than maclin, Smith is way better than Matthews. Ertz gets the edge over goedert. Just can't think of a better corps we've had ever. Maybe in the 60s
The message was that the receivers from the 60s had a better QB throwing the ball, so today's WRs for the Eagles may suffer because of Hurts.
Well we haven't seen aj brown with hurts so that's irrelevant with him and Smith did great with him last year. But ya I agree this is the most talented receivers the Eagles have ever had.
This is a fair point and one I've made for real life as well as for people wanting to draft any of our WRs in fantasy. In fantasy if you want one of the WRs because I think these guys are build for '23. You check in with the owner see if he just isn't a Hurts fan and you might get the guy on the cheap even before the season. This is one of those situations you hope an impatient owner has one of the top Eagles WR's and sells on the low.
I did really fun match up and I think if Cookus didn't get hurt we're talking Philly Stars as the USFL champs. Fun team and their defense led the league in Takaways. Cookus was a fun player to watch and kind of reminded me of the Old Carson Wentz when he first came here.
In retrospect, what was the deal with Asomugha after the Raiders? Never was as good as his rep? Hidden injury, or something that he never fully recovered from? A loss of 'love for the game', or 'fire' or whatever?
Eh, I'd be surprised in the first half of the season. I think they'll give him every chance to work through it. If we're in the second half of the season, and he still can't pass effectively? They'll know they're moving on then and will (hopefully) just do whatever to win.need2know said:
Clay Harbor weighed in on Twitter to clarify it was actually him, and not Celek, that easily burned Nnamdi in that first practice.
from what i recall, the rap at the time was that he was brought in to play a totally different scheme and it really didn't fit his skill set. also supposedly a bit of introvert and maybe never could quite get comfortable with the new team.Doug B said:
so far!
