Marcus Mariota Watch

[hbionic]

I'm with the MDS plan of the future. What's the worst that can happen?

Eagles have shtein seconday, shtein WR's, shtein QB's, shtein TE's, shtein knuckleheads on special teams.

Really, there's like 7 good players on this team:

McCoy
Kelce
Peters
Maclin
Cox
Kendricks
Kicker

Everyone else is pretty expendable. Even if this team drafted on auto, it would draft about the same or better in terms of fielding the rest of this craptastic team.

I say farg it, at least it will give everyone something to cheer for...until he fargs up his knee week 1 of the first pre-season.

youre pretty set with the front 7
secondary needs to be bought in free agency...with or without MM they just need to buy 3 new players
o-line is solid
skill position is where you take the calculated hit, for now. you have to assume MM is going to be great and he will make up for the mediocrity they have there.

a good qb can mask a ton of problems. look at green bay. look at previous new england teams.

its a risk but its a risk they might as well try.

Have I ever told you how much I care about your opinions?

jesus christ stop

At this point I think MDS is right. You do whatever possible for the chance to draft MM. I don't think there is any other choice.

If Mariota is elite like top 5 then giving up the house for him is fine. The colts aren't a good team, they get by on Lucks skill alone. Anyone have a list of pending free agents?

They need to move on from Late Allen

[PhillyPhreak54]

Jameis Winston could be available though...

[MDS]

the eagles are a 4/5 seed in the nba that cant make it past the eastern semis

but lets keep doing that, and go tanking sixers

[Sgt PSN]

Jameis Winston could be available though...

No.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I don't want him...just floating that out there.

[ice grillin you]

If Mariota is elite like top 5

hes not....he the number one qb this year because its a horrific qb class....id say hes somewhere bwtn ej manuel and andrew luck....but much closer to ej...in fact its an insult to luck or even rg3 to put mariota in the same conversation as a prospect and to give the insane amount it would take to get him is beyond idiotic....its like the worst wip call ever

[SD]

I'd love an elite QB, but realistically they don't need a Brady/Rodgers/Manning/Luck type. They just need a competent QB with a little mobility. A Tannehill type would be perfect, only thing that blows is QBs are at such a premium they're going to overpay for whoever they get.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Its an insult to Mariota to compare him to RGIII...

im not against overpaying to get the right guy....but theres overpaying then theres trading up 20 spots in the first round to get the best qb in a terrible qb class

taterskins moved what?.....five spots?....and still had to pay a ludicrous amount....and that was for a far superior prospect

Its an insult to Mariota to compare him to RGIII...

you don't compare people after the fact....a child can do that....we are talking about their rating as prospects at the time and how it relates to what you will have to give up

[PhillyPhreak54]

Well that is what I have been saying - what Washington had to give up to move up slightly was a ton. And it will cripple Washington because RGIII hasn't worked out. To get up to the Mariota draft stratosphere like lil guy wants...no shot
