Completely agree with your original post, and this follow up. Josh was MVP, his lights out, mistake free football was the major deciding factor, but there were several players that had seasons like that! We've seen him ball outta control and not win MVP plenty. Why win this year? Because his receiving talent (or lack thereof ) was significantly lower than his peers, and what we've seen him have throughout his career. He made a giant step in cutting down on crucial mistakes, no doubt. Do I think he could do it again, absolutely!! Imagine if he had the same type of year with a real NFL WR room though, that amplification could put us over the top. TL:DR Josh could absolutely put out another year like that, but itd be nice if he had a better supporting cast. Having a top QB doesnt mean investing minimally at WR position, and Im actually polar opposite of that. The synergy of having a real outside threat or two is 1 + 1 = 10. If I'm allowed to add one bonafide playmaker to this team; WR alone is going to give us way more juice than any other position. I'd take one top 10 WR over adding even two top 10 players being added to the defense at any position. If there is a WR in this draft they feel strongly about, do whatever it takes to go get him. If we dont see that guy, we need to pound the phones and talk to all 31 teams to see if that guy can be shook loose elsewhere. We should be willing to give a healthy generous overpay for the right WR

Forgive me for being out of the loop.... did we make any position coach changes on the DL this offseason? I just have 0 confidence in our development of DT/DE despite this being a good class to pick from. I doubt Beane thinks the same thing as me and decides "no sense in drafting those positions high" but from a mock draft standpoint, it could minimally decide a tie break for me. We absolutely need a talent infusion there but also has a diminished return value, especially when needing high end immediate starter out of our 1st rounder. Frustratingggggg

Dude had bad hands, enough where we seem to not trust him. I'll give up some ability for a young guy with dependability and upside (and $15m) This isn't me talking down on Cook. He's been fantastic but not what he was advertised as. Kinda the opposite. Thought we were getting an elite pass catcher, with above average rush skills. Id say the opposite of that fits him more than his draft day predictions

...If cocaine was a personality. I hate this scumbag. Thank God he has an albatross of a contract to keep me from even considering how fun that'd be for 12months lol Ever meet a vile woman with perfect bewbs? And get mad at yourself for even looking. That's Hill

Regular season matters very little. If we crush it, great, do it in the playoffs.... if the offense has a chance to win it, and theyre struggling to consistently move the chains in the playoffs, do I care they put up 30ppg? No. Thats exactly what happened vs Chiefs this year. We def did not make moving the chains look easy. Too many 3rd and long. Too many times where extending a drive 1 series wouldve put up at least 3, changed field position, or given our defense a little more time to catch their breath. It did look hard at times, and its because we arent a fully balanced team. Crowd the line, crowd the middle, give minimal attention outside the hashes because nobody will make you pay there. Were so close. Really wish we'd addressed WR1 last draft. Hoping Keon comes around, but his ceiling feels like a real nice WR2. I just want one top 15 outside WR's. Bet Josh does too

They mustve got lenient with it, ive seen Dawkins do it for sure and was lost i thought it was illegal Bingo! Bring back the Alstott character pleaseeeeee

Really? Why? I get we had a "failure" (was a 1st down), but that play has done more good than bad against us. I cant even think of an instance weve faced it other than Philly? If you dont like Josh taking a beating, take it outta the gameplan except pure emergencies. Dont see how this helps us at all "Health concerns" LOL you mean QB injury concerns?? Find someone else that can run the play and sub Josh. Its the ultimate football play, we dont have a football guy? Give Ray Davis reps, and line up Cook or whoever behind him. The threat of a pass on that play isnt "real"

This makes me so sad. What an era. Still cant believe what happened, was my favorite non-Bills football

Weird. WTH could this have been about. Eagles clearly want to keep it, im very much assuming we do as well??? I cant see how this topic would get heated

Regular season stats mean nothing. We left a lot of points on the bone in AFCCG. Its easier to predict "buying" points, than it is to pay to stop them. You think if we went defense on every pick the next 2 years, we're gunna be in the vicinity of Eagles defense? Cause thats the defense its gunna take to win on that side of the ball with McDermott vs Reid. Im not saying ignore defense, or even go light on defense. First priority needs to be getting Josh a true #1, however you have to do that, doesnt matter. We have a chit ton of extra picks, and all of next years. IDENTIFY THE WR YOU WANT, GO GET HIM.... THEEEEEN USE EVERY PICK ON DEFENSE AFTER THAT IF YOU WANT!! Get me a stud #1, and then im stoked to draft a badarse DT. CB. DE. Go BPA at DT, CB, DE with every pick after. Wonderful. I'll be stoked to see the defense improve, but until we get Josh a guy who can decide hes going to be open despite whatever coverage is coming his way... our seasons will continue to end in heartbreaking close games. Year, after, year.

100% this. WR on this team is the only position that can provide an absolute Hiroshima of synergy!! 1 + 1 = 10 Go get Josh an elite #1 again. I dont really care what it takes if its the right guy. So frustrating to have not done it last year, but I get crap happens. We just can not enter another season without a #1 WR. We have a high end #2. Then, with development realistically we could have a few guys worthy of being a true #3. Turn every stone for a trade for a veteran stud. Or identify a stud in the draft, go up and get him. Work the phones and take a gamble to trade up mid-way now..... and draft day make another move to go get your guy. I know that sounds crazy, but put an AJ Brown on this team. We got atleast 1 chip, pushing for #2 this year. We saw the type of defense it took to stop Mahomes. We are not 1 or even 2 drafts away from having that kinda defense. Anything less that 2024 PHI defense isnt winning you a chip. Josh having a true #1, has us win that AFCCG buy 2 touchdowns. We stay out of the 3rd and longs. Make Spagnola dedicate serious resources outside the hashes. We have no outside threat. So they stack the box, and hover over the middle.... then were forced to run the ball into run prevent type defense... and throw the ball to middle of field. IT PLAYS INTO THEIR HAND. Go get a #1 1 + 1 = 10

The only way to make need match value (aka BPA): A. Sheer f'n luck B. Trading up C. Regular Trade "A" for a WR ould be dope, but very unlikely. "B" & "C" make the most sense. I dunno that theres value in trading up in the 1st round, but maybe they see something I don't. So maybe in day 2 or later. C - may be a good option. I'm not looking for a Julio Jones in his prime type trade, but if somebody ends up deeper at the position than needed, and we can make a draft day trade, my panties would be soaked. WTF did AJ Brown go for 2-3 years ago? I remember thinking it wasn't nuts, and hard to argue Eagles didn't win that trade. Now, who?? Noooo clue.

This is a great philosophy. G2 disagree with the RB in the 3rd though. Its a non-issue for us at #30, but if Jeanty is sitting there, I'm 100% sprinting to podium, taking him, and unloading Cook to recoup draft capital + save $$. No 2nd contracts on RB is a good theory for 95% of Backs. The board has been over the exceptions, high level dual-threat guys who catch the ball a ton. CMC. Saquan. I understand the argument on Cook, but im not doing $15m and especially not more than 1-2 years. I just think if your strategy is no 2nd contract, you g2 be willing to take a truly superior talent IF IT PRESENTS ITSELF. Especially at the end of rd 1 or rd2. Im not taking any back in the top half of rd1 though. Its not 2015, RB's are effective AF in the NFL right now. Build line first, but if you can polish the run game off with gnarly back, im doing it.

This stinks of grandma on FB thinks the OK symbol means 'white power'. I mean IDC, i wont miss it, but wouldnt be the NFL if they didnt over-react to something silly

He'll be fine the short time hes there. He starts to become unruly after 3 years. Dude built quick chemistry w/ teammates year 1, and i think he'll be model citizen. The flip side, Diggs is a route technician and exactly the guy i want Hunter learning from if im the Pats..... now am i intentionally choosing that contract to have him mentor Hunter? No. But he'll be fine this year, next too, and they'll move on. Bet him and Hunter hit it off and exchange some crucial knowledge. ... but that doesnt fit the (understandably) salty jilted ex-lover theme here. Dude gave us his best years, was awesome to watch 2.5 years at minimu, gave it his all.... but hes a mentally ill person. Strikes me as a guy you can never spend too much time with or things will go sour. Ive been around people like that, the thing that makes them so fun at first is, unfortunately, the opposite knives edge that makes him unable to maintain relationships. Try not to take it so personally
