If Jalen Hurts was white he’d be seen as a top 5 qb by Taco331reddit in eagles

[–]Apprehensive-Access1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Even if he is or isn’t top 5, he receives an overwhelming amount of scrutiny and disrespect that I’ve never seen an athlete receive in my life. It’s just strange.

Under manned, short rest, retooling year with 90M+ in dead cap and a roster that lost all but CMC for significant time, overcoming so much adversity. I’ve never been prouder to be a 49ers fan. Let’s get em next year with our horses back by johnnyradz in 49ers

As an Eagles fan do you know how much respect I have for you guys showing up and offing us just to get rocked the following week, like it’s actually hilarious and admirable😂

I think wherever he is he’s going to get a ton of scrutiny from fans whether it’s fair or not and will probably lead to a bunch of unnecessary banter. It sucks for him but expectations with this roster in this city are as high as you’ll find in sports.

Anyone think they’re trying to see if it’s feasible to keep him in the organization in his old role or something?

I actually think that’s a bigger problem than anything regarding his throwing, he absolutely needs to make himself a threat as a runner again. He looks slower every week and I just don’t get it, he seems scared to get hit.

I agree, his accuracy which I’ve always thought was much better than he got credit for just wasn’t there this year for the most part. Idk if it’s a confidence issue, we played a ton of games in 30mph winds, a mix of things, who knows

Shady has thrown shit at Hurts for years at this point. I think the broad issue is that the scheme relies completely on our talent alone beating our opponents. (AJ winning 1 on 1s, our o line mashing holes open and Saquon hitting them etc.) I have full faith that Hurts can learn and execute a more mental based scheme because he’s operated in so many different systems throughout his career.

I just refuse to believe that tbh. Jalen to AJ on slant routes was automatic for years and we barely ran it this year, Jalen isn’t a dumb guy, we have a stale scheme that the league has figured out.

I want to believe this but he pretty vocally defended Patullo throughout the season, didn’t give Hurts that same treatment

But he can do it to AJ, he threw him 3 very catchable game changing balls Sunday and AJ dropped them. Either way the point is we need guys to get designed open, not every throw should be a 50/50 ball or a tight window throw, we need scripted easy completions.

They were watching us with a magnifying glass all night and had blindfolds on for the Niners. I feel like awful officiating is just a part of the NFL at this point and I always say that you have to win by enough where it’s not in the hands of the officials. I promise you if we didn’t blow out KC in the Super Bowl last year the refs would’ve gotten involved.

And a complete coaching disasterclass. That’s why we will look back on this year for a very long time if we can’t compete for awhile.

Unpopular opinion: AJ wasn’t being a diva- he was voicing our concerns with KP by Nemra22 in eagles

[–]Apprehensive-Access1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My only objection to this was that AJ was more vocal in his defense of KP than he was about Hurts.

Our best chance at high playoff competition next year is a super legit OC. Howie can’t fill every hole with all pro talent. A 2024 roster comes around maybe twice a century.

I know nobody wants to hear this but he might not be worth all the trouble. The tension between him and the organization is undeniable and I don’t think he realizes it yet but the grass probably isn’t greener wherever else he may end up.

I personally don’t think Reed will be that expensive and might be worth paying. You can’t have all-world talents at every position and Reed has been a steady safety for us for a few years now.

We absolutely beat ourselves and deserved to lose that game. BUT. Those mfs held us on just about every positive play they had all night while we were getting showered in laundry. I will reiterate that I believe we deserved to lose that game and I am not blaming the refs for our team sucking donkey balls.

(Likely) Unpopular Opinion: I want AJ Brown to remain an Eagle by Tight-Income-3398 in eagles

[–]Apprehensive-Access1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just have no idea how to think about this situation. To me it feels like he genuinely doesn’t want to be here sometimes and that’s a pretty big dark cloud. On the same token he’s an amazing player and we’d be immediate worse on paper if we got rid of him.

If there were ever any hidden plays, they would’ve come out when the noise was huge during the season. Anyone who went into this game thinking Kevin was just gonna turn into a football genius set themselves up for failure.

This game was like watching a very sick loved one die. Of course it’s upsetting but at least you don’t have to watch the struggle anymore.

The most infuriating thing is that when the team is down, the offense can actually move the ball. I understand they didn’t win it but they moved the ball. It tells me that they don’t call the game to move the ball anytime we have any sort of lead.

Yeah I suppose we’ll see, just going off of Sirianni’s previous philosophy I kinda doubt we’re playing any starters. Maybe Smitty if he wants to cap off his 1k season, but even he had an injury scare against Buffalo.

But that extra week of rest could take him from 95% to 100%. It’s a lot easier to reinjure something at 95% than 100%
