2017 Training Camp Thread

[MDS]

nfl teams routinely keep around players who suck because they are hunting buddies with the qb and friendly with the tight ends coach. of course.

as i said before, if you think doug was bad you should see the guys who were cut during camp.

[Tomahawk]

Not NFL teams. The Packers. To back up Brett Favre. But who cares if he was the worst backup QB in the history of the league, he's better than people that didn't even play!

[PhillyPhreak54]

Better QB

Doug Pederson or Donovan McNabb?

[General_Failure]

Which one has a super bowl ring?

[ice grillin you]

I don't know what is sillier pointing out that's it's hard to make the NFL or being obsessed with doug pedersons playing career

especially when he's a terrible head coach for the eagles like right now

[Rome]

I'm not a huge fan of his but he's not coached long enough to be verifiably terrible yet. I'm willing to see how he plays out. 

I love the fact that he's put foot to assess with the offense over their Matthews-related sympathy pains, though. 

[ice grillin you]

you mean you are not sure if he will improve because right now he is completely incompetent

[Diomedes]

I don't get the hate.  What's he done that makes him so incompetent?  I don't feel strongly either way so far.

[Rome]

Well, he's straight cornbread and whiter than a marshmallow, so...

[ice grillin you]

i guess you didnt watch last season (someone else can go down down that road and list all his colossal blunders if they so choose....im not doing it again)

but even if you didnt watch just listen to him talk for two minutes and you can see he isnt equipped to teach kindergarten

[Diomedes]

Meh, I watched half a dozen games, and thought he made the same kinds of mistakes that any rookie HC would.  He didn't leave me thinking that he was clueless.  Care to point out specirfics?

As for listening to him talk...he's a farging football coach, not a State's Attorney.  I expect him to sound dumb.  It's football.

[ice grillin you]

i dont really care to since weve been over it ad nauseam last year but i would say he cost them at least three and maybe four wins

now like i just said if you think he can learn on the job and get better with experience that a fair thing to have faith in....after all hes never been a head coach or coordinator above the high school level...but as of right now hes just awful

[Rome]

Reid was awful in his first year too and he had a much better core to work with than Pederson had, especially on defense. 

I'd say Pederson was much better than the walrus was, actually. 

Bottom line is he's there and he's not going anywhere any time soon.  Might as well hope for the best. 

[Sgt PSN]

but even if you didnt watch just listen to him talk for two minutes and you can see he isnt equipped to teach kindergarten

To be fair, most NFL players aren't equipped to be in kindergarten so your point is kind of invalid.

Ryan Mathews cleared medical, will be cut, Eagles save $4M
