Eagles 2016 Draft

[Eagaholic]

Interesting with Chase Daniels on the roster how a quarterback wasn't included in the deal. Cleveland really wanted Bradford last year. Maybe Howie has someone else in the wings that will give up some better draft material for one of the QBs. Be surprised if somebody took on Daniels contract though.

tomorrow morning:

angelo: this is the worst move in the history of football! FIRE HOWIE!

gargano: yoooo cuz dis is awesome, bo!

Until Angelo gets someone from the Eagles brass on, Doug or Howie, and then he'll suck them off.

Kinda like Jaws is doing to Wentz right now.

For the second season in a row, I will not be subscribing to the NFL package. farg the Eagles.

[Rome]

I love the move. 

Howie Magic. 

[smeags]

Soooo, everyone ready for the draft ?

[Eagaholic]

I think Howie was being pretty shrewd there. If the Eagles didn't show strong signs of turning things around quickly, he would be on the hot seat at the end of the season. If they actually keep Bradford and the new QB is a bit of a project, he has just bought himself two maybe three more years.

Wasn't planning on watching it, now I can watch even less. Total win/win for me.

I say this with a slight bit of sarcasm and a lot of truth: I miss REALLY caring about football. Sometimes I still want to really care, but it just doesn't happen. I still kind of care, but nothing like those halcyon years. There's an old me that would have been batshtein crazy pissed about this. Now, I'm like...meh, seems stupid, but whatever. I've either grown or been beaten down; maybe both.

I like the move. I'm no scout, but I think both Goff and Wentz have top 10 QB potential from what I've seen. If that is true, the move was worth it. Unless you have a generational defense, you can't win a Superbowl in the NFL without a stud QB. It all starts with that. If you don't have one, you just tread water for years and years. I applaud the Eagles for taking the risk and trying to fix the QB problem that has plagued the Eagles for a decade. It really has been that long if you think about it. They've had a few stretches here and there of good QB play, but since the Superbowl season, their QB play has left a lot to be desired. The back end years of McNabb weren't even that great.

Besides the quarterback I also don't think we will be able to judge the deal until we see what we get back in trade compensation for a quarterback.

[Diomedes]

I don't understand this move.  Which QB are they going to pay millions so he can be inactive?

[General_Failure]

Bradford, once he gets injured. And the rookie until like week 13.

[Rome]

If the quarterback turns out to be a bust, Howie gets fired.  If the quarterback turns out to be average, Howie gets fired.  If the quarterback turns out to be a HOF'er, Howie will still end up getting fired because everyone always gets fired, but at least he will have been shrewd enough to pick a HOF'er.

Also - how awesome would it be if the Eagles shock everyone and take the fat body tackle, or even better, find a team that is desperate enough to give them back even more than they gave up to get there?

PS: No matter what happens, if they stay at #2 and actually pick someone, I get to go to sleep earlier because the next day is a work day and Romey needs his beauty sleep. 

#WINNING
