Thanks for your well thought out response. The bolded indicates that you are deferring to McClay's judgement because you have been happy with his record so far. The same goes for us Eagle fans with what Roseman has done. Isn't a Super Bowl Championship with a second year head coach and without your MVP QB, your all-pro left tackle, and starting MLB some indication that Roseman knows how to build a solid, deep, talented roster?
When you leave out our OL talent & Lawrence, all critical positions in the NFL, as well as our other young talent on D, it kinda shows why there can't be reasonable discussion in here. That said, I get it & it's ok.
What I posted in Goedert thread still rings true today:
Connor Williams would have 0 snaps for the Eagles this season. Brooks and Wisniewski have played 100% of the snaps a G. Kelce has only missed 1 play. Impossible to try and figure out how they would have used Guice, but Clement has played 39%, Ajayi 22% and Sproles 12% offensive snaps. So I assume Guice might have gotten Smallwood's 23% of snaps.
I've given you guys plenty of compliments, but some of your regulars think I'm always being facetious.
this OL you are relying on is going to be the death of that team. i know you guys were hi-fiving each other with the Conner Williams pick, but if you are happy with that then good luck. there is no assurance Fredericks will come back healthy at any point, and by that time your LT will continue to decline and OL will be leaky. in addition all 5 are much better at run blocking than pass blocking. so when forced to pass if the run isn't flourishing they have a hard time excelling.
Your current TE usage is no doubt affected by WR injury, but like I said, I doubt Pederson will go to 12 personnel full-time.
You were much closer two years ago than you are now. It all was dependent on Prescott being a quality quarterback. His rookie season, he looked like he was going to be a good one. I guess the combination of a great O-line and Zeke running like a beast and demanding 8 man fronts made him look a lot better than he really is. His regression last season was crazy. The only other recent QB I saw slip that badly was RGIII and his was because of injury. I figured that this year he'd find his rightful place and it would fall somewhere in between the great first season and the awful second. But he looks just like last year's version. By next season, Dallas is going to have to make some decisions on what they're going to do with the guys whose rookie contracts are winding down. Namely, Prescott and Elliott. The reason the talent difference between Dallas and Philly isn't close is in depth. Every time Dallas loses a key player, they stink. Whether it was Romo three years ago, Elliott and his suspension last year, or the many times Lee gets hurt, they just don't have any depth. Philly has spent the last two seasons playing with patched-up offenses and defenses. And they are 15-4 in those seasons with a Super Bowl win.
When GBS is caught early & symptoms are as mild as Fred's, he'll be back. Trust me.
I don't think any of us are fishing for compliments. I think i would just like you to acknowledge that perhaps the GM who just put together a Super Bowl winning roster and won NFL executive of the year last year might have some inkling as to how to evaluate football talent. Especially when the pick you are questioning just made a significant contribution to the Eagles winning a game last week.
i've heard differently about GBS, but i am so under-qualified to speak on that i will just stop now

as for the OL, i think with last year when Smith went out, and this year when Fredericks went out, you can see that the depth and replacement value can hinder the whole OL. if all are healthy sure they are a very good OL, but so are a lot of other teams. Give me a healthy Jason Peters please!!
well i will defer to you here then. I forget who it was, one of the talking heads on ESPN who is a former player, spoke about it and said it took him over a year to get back to being able to play. To be honest, he seemed like a good guy so good luck to him getting back and hopefuly he recovers well.
I'll agree with part of your argument...Dallas has the cap space and the O-line to turn things around fairly quickly. What I remain unconvinced of though, is the QB. What we've seen so far suggests mere competence as long as everything else is working well. Teams can win that way, but it's much more difficult, and rarely do teams built that way stay near the top of the heap for long.
I didn't ignore Burton's numbers. I essentially answered it by saying that isn't even close to your main need(s), much less the impact of the dynamics associated with taking a backup TE compared to other positions.
With the money he’ll want, his age, our scheme and our chemistry I wouldn’t want any parts of him.
Totally agree. We can draft another rb in the first few rounds next year. Dime a dozen
I feel anytime I'm talking Eagles anymore someone is peeling onions when I watch read, type or talk. Jesus Christ I love this team so much.
Thank god we never got Chip's QB. Could you imagine us right now? The kid is a great person but he's not even Nick Foles talent right now let alone close to anything Wentz puts out there
Barely looking league avg right now. I can't believe theres actual Eagles fans out there who wanted him. Watched him through college and knew it was the system.
TE was a need going into the draft. They lost 2 of their 3 from '17. You can spin it however you want, but TE was most certainly discussed as a draft need.
I actually can get on board with that, but taking one in the 2nd is what I disagree with.
A Bears fan telling the Cowboys to get their house in order is like, well, bragging that you kicked your big sister's ###.
I don't think you want me cluttering up your thread with pro-Cowboys talk. Or any kind of Cowboys talk for that matter.
You want me to post the redeeming values of JJ, The Clapper, & Dak in your thread?You have nothing as usual
Jeez lots to catch up on tonight. Do you actually not realize how much of a broken record you sound like? You've definitely made yourself famous for that on these boards and you use everything down to the exact same word every time.
He will always say it was a wrong pick. Football Jones is never ever wrong, didn't you know? He hasn't said he was wrong about something on any threads.
Coulda fooled us/anyone
Smart GM's draft BPA more than for need these days. Especially those coming off title years.
You said that this offseason about how close we were this year. Now it's next year? Okay. I'm assuming you meant 2020 all along if we're still not that close next year. Also, most of us (Besides Mo) predicted Dallas would actually be somewhat close to us this year, but it doesn't look like they're even as good as WE thought.
"developed quicker" = "im using selective wording because I somehow STILL can't admit that Wentz is better than Dak so I'll just say he developed faster"
Haha no deep end, was just blown away at your posts tonight.
That's the point I was trying to give you back at the draft which seems to be eluding you is that Pederson's TE usage is traditionally high and Goedert's current usage is not a reflection of our current WR situation, it's just the way Pederson runs his offense.
Football Jones was just taken behind the woodshed. I can't help but chuckle when I see him post. He's the guy who spent all last season telling me he'd rather have Prescott than WentzJ Justin case there's any question about his football knowledge.
You must be young.
