Welcome to Our Forums. Once you've registered and logged in, you're primed to talk football, among other topics, with the sharpest and most experienced fantasy players on the internet.
Mainly talk radio and the ones here that are pretty much talk radio.
I get what you are saying (and i'm not an eagles fan) but it's worth an entire draft if you know a guy is going to be a 10-year franchise QB. Is that Mariota? I don't know. But it's definitely worth it if he plays like a top 10 franchise QB. He doesn't have to even be the next Manning. If he plays as well as a Matt Ryan or Cam Newton he's still worth it.
Did you take away the defense and special teams scores? They had TDs on 2 punts, 2 kickoffs, 2 fumbles, 2 INTs and 3 blocked kicks. They were 4th in the league in total TDs with 54. When you take those away they had 43 offensive TDs.
This is exciting. I don't care if he's only worth 8-9 million and we give him 10. We have the room, that 1-2 won't make a ton of a difference. Also makes our draft so much less stressful and we won't have to reach for a CB in round 1 (but if a good one is there, that would be awesome to acquire him and Maxwell). Go get him.
Amen to that. Hell, if they keep Cary Williams (they're not) he'd count 8 mill towards the cap. He's no where near worth that.
Don't classify. Do you know why I mentioned the preseason game? Because he looked indecisive from DAY ONE last year. Just not the same QB. Do you disagree?
Since I'm bored, I took all the teams rushing/receiving touchdowns and field goals. So removed all special team and defensive scores. Eagles wind up 6th in the league.
Plus you have to assume a non-zero percentage of those ST/DEF TDs would have resulted in offensive scoring. For all the ST/DEF scores, the offense didn't get a possession.jasvic said:
You can go crazy analyzing the stats in a team game like this. Bottom line is, Foles didn't look great behind a garbage offensive line and no running game, but always had the team in a position to win. Sanchez moved the ball pretty well when the line was healthy and he wasn't giving it away like a girl on prom night. Combined, the Eagles offense was in the top 10. Last year (2013) Foles showed enough to make you think he can lead this team to score plenty of points, definitely enough to be the starter in 2015, and the team needs to focus on shoring up the defense and adding youth/depth to the offensive line. Just my opinion.
Nah what really has me worried is that preseason Jets game in 2012. He was dancing all over.
That's been my biggest beef with the Mariota crowd. How much more are we going to improve on offense with him? We averaged 25 ppg last year taking out the DST TDs. Denver and GB averaged 29 ppg last year on offense and NE averaged 28. The previous year we averaged 27 ppg with a little more than half a season of Foles. So is Mariota going to improve us to over 30 a game? And is he going to do it in the next 2 seasons? Most QBs even the great ones struggle early on. We can't expect a guy to come in and be as good as a veteran QB. How does it improve a team that was 10-6 two straight seasons & finished in the top 5 in scoring both years?
I think it. It gives you plenty more chances to win a super bowl.Phenomena said:
At least its better than Gargano calling everyone the Best and having a huge guffaw laugh over everything. Is he even on the station anymore?
No he Gargano got sh!tcanned. Company won't talk about it. 94.1 pulled that out of Kelly's Playbook.
I read on crossing broad that it was a contract dispute. Supposedly he's working on a deal with 97.5.
Yes, his contract was up supposedly wanted more money than they wanted to pay him, so that was that. My listening of the afternoon show had waned, but I still liked Gargano and Ellis probably better than anyone on the station other than Didinger. I don't think that there was any specific incident and I don't know why people would expect WIP to talk about it.
But that also ASSUMES that they don't score at all on those 11 possessions.
I'm focusing on Jalen Collins but something tells me he ain't getting to 20.
Exactly. I'm generally a fan of best player available, so if White were there at 20, I'd be happy to see him as an Eagle. That said, it's silly to trade up to grab a player that is NOT at a true need position. I'd be pretty upset to see that. I'd rather see them spend a 4th r 5th on a guy like ConleyDeamon said:
But the same applies to the defense. If Foles fumbles the ball on the 20 and the defense only gives up a FG that still counts against their scoring defense or if the defense intercepts the ball in FG range and the offense doesn't move the ball it counts towards scoring offense.JaxBill said:
WR is a need. Right now we have Jordan Matthews as the only viable WR. We might be able to sign double ACL-tear Maclin. Then what? Riley Cooper? Ugh.
Problem is that the same could be said for every position beside RB and DL.
With that being said isn't even more impressive that we went 10-6?
Absolutely. A real testimony to Kelly's coaching.I'm with you on BPA. That's always been my preferred way to go. As the combine went on, I actually started to warm to the idea of a trade down to acquire more 2/3 rd picks if possible. There is a lot of talent at WR, DB, LB, DL, OL that will be going off the board in those rounds. Considering the lack of depth/teams needs it seems like the way to go unless a sure fire stud is there at 20.
"Sorry, Coach, I can't stay for practice. There's a warehouse fire over in Kensington and the boys need me!"
Has to be Jon Harris. Was just talking about him this morning. I remember watching the draft on ESPN and no one had any clue what to say and they had zero footage prepared. I think they just found a still image to throw on the screen. It was embarrassing.
