OT: Philadelphia Eagles (NFL): Playoffs - Eagles Will Select Sixth Overall In Draft

[GKJ]

joe burrow didn't fix the Bengals in one season. I don't expect Lawrence (way less polished) to fix the Jags.

Lawrence is a better prospect with a better track record. Nobody was talking about Burrow at the start of last year. Jags not only have the assets but also the cap space to move effectively.

So does he still get paid? Just curious.

If he doesn’t coach in the NFL next year.

The Jags have a boatload of picks & capspace though. So in theory the ammo is there to do a quick turnaround if done successfully.

If both sides agreed to terminate his contract clear and free, no.

If he quit, no.

If he was fired, yes, but he likely has some offset language in the contract that will lessen the blow to the organization if he coaches elsewhere.

This guy is always a hot take factory.

it doesn't take too much deduction to make that connection.

burrow was one of the top prospects coming out of HS. He bounced around a bit, and then got in a great situation, and put up some historic stuff.

I mean, just saying look at like Tom Brady...all the guy did in school was win, and he got dicked around for a minor league 3rd baseman. Sometimes the situation has a factor.

Like Tua vs Burrow. One player looked like a good QB in ~8 games. Other not so much, and that guy played in stacked alabama for a couple years. I'm not holding my breath on Lawrence, who plays for a stacked team.

I don't think Zach Ertz and Jason Kelce would be sitting with Wentz on the sideline after their season ended for an extended period of time if they didn't like Wentz.

Helllloooo confirmation bias.

put in cap hell i will agree, but injuries destroyed this roster

Injuries did not:

Have anything to do with this GMs inability to draft good corners, LBs or safeties

Blow a 2nd round pick on a QB that may or may not pan out.

Blow a 1st round pick on a guy who will be an average receiver at best

Blow a 2nd round pick on a receiver who is awful

Blow another 1st on a LT that is soft and already looking like a bust

Many of the injuries were to 30+ age players and should have been expected. Bringing back guys like Peters, DJax or counting on vet CB to move to safety to replace a guy like Jenkins were just horrible decisions.

And yeah, the cap. Roseman is a friggin disaster

you've got to hit on the picks. Yes, the NFL is not for long....they could turn around. So could we next year if health holds up (breath not held).

Everyone keeps wanting out of Jax though (some of that may have been Marrone) Just saying...they are not so rosy.

other than Raegor, I'm on board.

McManus lists candidates: What Doug Pederson firing means for Philadelphia Eagles, Carson Wentz

I will eat a very nice sandwich if Riley leaves for this org for anything less than full control and we know that's not happening.

I will join you in eating a very nice sandwich that will not include any level of awkward eye contact if it happened.

Lincoln should never leave that cushy gig though.

They wanted out because they were blowing it up. Not many guys want to stay on a losing team that doesn’t really have a viable QB.

They got to make hay with things of course but it’s a pretty attractive job given that you’re going to be walking into Lawerence, other picks, & cap space to play with.

I would certainly much rather take that job right now over the Eagles’ job where it’s essentially the opposite with a toxic GM/Owner combo to boot.

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Good for Doug. He's free of this shit show.

He's like 95% head.

More Breaking news:

Swoop is out, weve formed a partnership with Chuck E Cheese.

 

[trostol]

This Org decided they can't let the Phillies be the only management team/owner to look bad

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

The word “fired” has started to come out in tweets and headlines so looks like he was fired.

used a 2nd round pick on a qb that upped his value significantly.
Reagor is not a finished product, but agreed he has to improve.
JJAw sucks, people miss on wr.s
What have you seen from Dillard that makes you thin he is a bust? Because as far as I can tell I don't recall him having much meaningful playing time.



What you fail to account for is his ability to find players outside the draft, and understand positional value . THe draft history of every GM is bad, so from that point of view you have to temper expectations of what a sucessful draft looks like. Teams blow first round picks time and time again. The eagles on the other hand have been quite successful in the first round.

ESP’s head when forming a take.

He has tweets like a few days apart that completely contradicts what he says.
