Rookie contracts just haven't been very interesting since Sam Bradford, and that's fine by me.

The man. The myth. The legend.

They're formulaic, a non-story really.

Remember when they weren't?  And it was good news to read that the big rookies had signed?

Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Greg Ward your #1 WR who is a full practice participant today.

QuoteSmith is clearly the No. 1 wide receiver through the first few practices, as no Eagles wide receivers have stepped up in the early going.

Travis Fulgham, John Hightower, and JJ Arcega-Whiteside haven't stood out through four sessions, and Quez Watkins has been limited with a non-COVID related illness.

Well this is farging encouraging.

That injury would suck if it ends up delaying Smith's HOF eligibility.

I was excited when they drafted Smith. I had the same durability concerns as many other. The more of him I see, both on the field and behind a mic, the more I like him. I could see him having a similar career to DeSean, often brilliant but eventually often injured. Am I the only one who has wondered what it might be like if Howie made the deal with the Bears instead the Giants/Bears trade going down? They'd have 3 or 4 first round picks among maybe a dozen total. I will be interesting over time to watch what they might have had, as well as the Justin Field option.

he doesnt have near the speed and wont be a straight line threat like that but he can be better at everything else than P

he has so many good qualities but none were better in college than the fact that he never drops a ball and most of that is because the defender is never close enough to him to cause drops....hes a route running machine

he's open 80% of the time, so so smooth and great instinct for finding the spot...he's going to murder defenses

My worry after watching him in college and briefly in the preseason was he comes out of breaks too fast. That's usually a great problem but Flacco takes 5 years to make a throw and Hurts arm strength was suspect. Initially I thought timing might be an issue.
