THE OLD PHILADELPHIA EAGLES THREAD

[af1 1982]

I need to know what Howie offered for Russ man…..

Russ is on the market, we have three firsts, and you don’t make a play?

He offered Minshew and one 1st lol

 

[af1 1982]

I’m sure Denver gave up an absolute haul but man, I’m sick.

 

[xxpizzo]

dont worry yall still got your guy hurts yall hyping up

I’m sure Denver gave up an absolute haul but man, I’m sick.

So far it’s Lock, Shelby Harris and picks

So Hurts, Cox 2 1sts and JJAWFUL/Reagor? Lol

 

[af1 1982]

Hurts plus picks would have far exceeded any Denver deal. You’re getting a young QB in return that could restart your rebuild instantly?

Had to have been the no trade clause from Russ. I refuse to believe the brass in Philly is that high on Hurts to the point where they didn’t try to make a play for Russ

[amitt5504]

Yea we could’ve gave a better package easily

Howie gotta put on his big boy pants lol

 

[af1 1982]

Time to go see if DK is available. I’d readily trade a 1st and a 3rd for him

 

[District of Columbia]

I would’ve done it

 

[IATT]

dont worry yall still got your guy hurts yall hyping up

who hyping hurts?


im just glad we got the picks and can attack QB next offseason if hurts aint it in a deeper QB draft

[IATT]

Denver had to do it. Can’t waste that roster and there’s no clear future path to a QB.

 

[District of Columbia]

The NFC is wide open tho man

If Hurts takes just a small step we right there

 

[k3stacks]

Tried to tell yall. It was always a pipe dream. We was never on his list to begin with and frankly why should we? Cuz of our oline? Lol. We not close to a qb away.

 

[af1 1982]

Our roster is better than we think.

And no, we’re not just a QB away. But adding Russ does infinitely more for our team than adding a couple defensive rookies

 

[k3stacks]

I disagree and clearly so did Russ.

And Is it? Lets go down the list
Strong oline
Rbs/ you can prolly plug in rbs with the oline
1 bonafide Good TE
1 bonafide Good wr

Defense: hargrave, slay, maddox.....


Who signing up for that?

We desperately need these picks to inject young defensive talent to our team. The defense was TRASH!!!!!

I believe we can compete if we hit on the draft and hurts takes next step. But as of rn? Today? No

 

[af1 1982]

Denver has a better roster Russ picking them over Philly isn’t a surprise, that doesn’t make ours all of a sudden bad

An elite, HOF QB with an okay roster
>>>
An average QB with a solid roster

Y’all about to see how trash Seattle really is. Time and time again has shown that adding a HALL OF FAME CALIBER QB elevates your teams chances of winning.

Look, I love hurts and I’m fine with moving forward with him. I just wanted the eagles to make Russ option #1 heading into next season. It’s perfectly reasonable to want Russ but still be fine with Hurts. This black/white thinking doesn’t do any good. Need more nuance in how we approach things

 

[k3stacks]

We are talking about a qb with a no trade clause . So yea im going roster by roster and it we dont have the roster to move the needle as of rn to be favored over somebody like denver. We both agreed with that. Not hard to see why.

 

[airjordan1217]

Sooo does this mean that DK Metcalf is available..?

 

[Upptempo]

Russ lowkey overrated so idc

 

[af1 1982]

Anyways, the Eagles are like 99% going to draft an edge rusher.

Hope they get my guy Ojabo. Or even Jermaine Johnson

 

[k3stacks]

Russ lowkey overrated so idc

Lol idk about all that but that trade dont make sense for us imo as it does denver or other qb away teams. Thats alot of capital man

 

[IATT]

I’m trying think who that trade would make sense for


Colts maybe, think they got cap space.. but obviously no 1st this year
