Wow! You are just so angry! Maybe you should just start ignoring me for your own sake Why do I like Mayfield the most? To answer your question he's a winner and he's gritty and has this competitive fire that reminds me of Jim Kelly. He seems very immature but I think if he got in with the right coach who could harness his competitiveness. He also seems to have great pocket presence, can escape pressure, and is very accurate. He's completely willing to throw the ball just about anywhere on the field and has NFL arm strength even if it's not Elite. I like darnold a lot, but his turnover problem is what makes me like him second to Mayfield. Rosen scares me a bit because of his injury history and his reported lack of love for the game. Do I watch college football? No. As I watched some? Yes. Do I pay attention to what happens via News, highlights, and scores on things like ESPN? Yes. I asked an honest question and gave a few thoughts, but of course you have to be confrontational.

Honest question... why isn't Mayfield the best of this bunch? Is it height? He's still 6'1"... his behavior? McDermott seems like a coach who can channel that visceral competitive moxy... so what is it? Mayfield please. He excites me the most. Then Darnold.

Oh boy, I bet this thread is going well

Why? Mayfield please ...or Darnold

Yuck yuck yuck yuck!!! Case Keenum and we don't draft a 1st round QB?! These guys are nuts. I highly highly highly doubt that happens. How do these "analysts" make a living?

Not happenin anymore... 5 year contract he just agreed to with the 49ers. Nice thought, though

buil crap... but let's do it!!!

Josh McCown and Nate Peterman YUCK!!!!! Highly doubt it.

Nooooooooooo!!!! Can we trade them Leslie Frazier for Andrew Luck? ... seriously

Trade for Andrew Luck!!!!

I want Darnold/Mayfield/Rudolph in the 1st, in that order. I'm coming around on Jackson, but really really don't want Allen. I guess I'd be stoked if we got Rosen, but I just don't even feel like he's on our radar.

Well... yeah, it's obviously time to rebuild. But the problem with the connotations of that word is the implications that you have to suck while you're doing it. Our rebuild began last offseason. Remember when everyone thought we were tanking when we were trading away all our good players? Yeah, rebuild the team. But it's also time for making the playoffs AGAIN and winning in the playoffs

FUGH NOO!!! This is our best opportunity to draft a Franchise QB in years. Darnold/Mayfield in the 1st with a trade up or possibly Jackson/Rudolph staying put. And Peterman as the 2018 game 1 starter? Umm, no. I think our game 1 starter is going to be either Tyrod Taylor or whatever rookie we draft in the first. All of the above goes out the window, of course, if we can acquire Andrew Luck

I think Groy will be our starting Center, and a good one... but does anyone else on the roster have experience at Center?

Oh Shady... still gonna make lies up and claim Tyrod was benched 3 times this year?

Yeah... Foles and the Eagles sure went a long way to show what creative/aggressive play calling, a great OL and fantastic offensive weapons do for mediocre QBs. No matter who is under center or who else we acquire for this team in terms of players, our progression as a team in 2018 is going to hinge primarily on one acquisition this offseason... and it's not a player... it's Dabol. If Dabol is something like "the next great offensive mind," we'll see it no matter who's under center, whether it's a rookie 1st round pick or Tyrod or some other option... Andrew Luck, anyone?

Yep. Both times the Eagles went for it on 4th down, before I even knew they were gonna go for it I said to the people at the Super Bowl party I was at that I thought they should have gone for it. I don't think this is a McDermott trait, though. I hope he just hands complete offensive control over to Dabol and Dabol hs been influenced plenty by the Hoodie.

Actually, no. I think one should hope OBD finds an offensive coach who maximizes the strengths through scheme, play calling and aggression by not trying to fit square pegs in round holes. Flexible and creative coaches are absolutely necessary to be consistent contenders unless you have an Elite QB. And I mean one of the 4 or 5 best QBs consistently in the NFL. We all hope we draft that guy in April, but for now, we need to hope Dabol is that coach so he doesn't follow Dennison out the door.

Trade up for Darnold or Mayfield. Rosen I guess, too, but I just don't get the sense he's a target of ours. Anyone other than those 3 guys would be a big mistake, unless it's just a trade up of a few spots.

No... Tyrod and Nick Foles aren't all that different in the fact that neither guy is a Franchise QB, they're just guys who can be good in the right circumstances. Tyrod sort of had that in his first season when Roman was kind of limiting the playbook (apparently) and Sammy and Woods were healthy most of the year. Foles played great yesterday and played great in the NFC Championship, but dude has INCREDIBLE talent surrounding him which is aided by a brilliant, creative and aggressive play-caller who is also the Head Coach and therefore dictates offensive philosophy with absolutely ZERO resistence. Just look at it this way in terms of skill positions... McCoy & Tolbert & Banyard (?) vs. Ajayi & Blount & Clement Zay Jones & Deonte Thompson & Kelvin Benjamin vs. Alshon Jeffrey & Torrey Smith & Nelson Aghoular Charles Clay vs. Zach Ertz Buffalo Bills OL vs. Philadelphia Eagles OL I don't know if Tyrod is back this year. I suspect he is with a rookie 1st round pick waiting in the wings. What I'm genuinely curious to see is if McDermott gives Dabol full offensive control and what kind of an offensive play caller Dabol is. Is he creative? Is he aggressive? Is he stubborn or does he call plays and a system that caters to his players strengths? Based on what he did last year at Alabama, I'm excited to see him. But all the Super Bowl did prove yesterday is just how incredibly important a creative and aggressive offensive play caller can be. That's taking nothing away from Foles, who was great 2 games in a row and he's going to get PAID at some point. But he's going to get overpaid, too.

love love love

I did. I said he was great in his last 2 games. Do you read the posts you respond to?

If true... better odds for us to trade for Luck

No. Draft a QB in the strongest and most top-heavy QB class in years. Doug Williams was a Super Bowl MVP... was fantastic in a route of the Broncos... then he lost his job to Mark Rypien. Let's be thankful another QB needy team is going to massively overpay Foles and overcompensate the Eagles. People are making way too big a deal out of 2 games... and that's all he has been good for this year in relief of Wentz. He was great in those 2 games. But 2 games. Foles is a capable starter in the right situation, but not every situation. The Eagles were just an unbelievable situation this year with a fantastic OL, Elite TE, an amazing WR corps, 2 excellent RBs and, most importantly, a brilliant, creative and aggressive offensive play caller. I expect backlash from saying this in this fairly insane thread, but I figured coming here people would be emotional and overreacting. Friggin LOVE that the Patriots lost because the Eagles are just the better team

Next year
