Thoughts On Gase, Coughlin, And The Latest Coaching Search Developments

Tom CoughlinOn Losing Adam Gase To Miami

On Saturday morning, it was announced that Chicago Bears’ offensive coordinator Adam Gase would be accepting the Miami Dolphins’ head coaching position.

Gase interviewed with the Eagles earlier last week, and there was talk that the team would bring back for a second interview over the weekend. That never happened, as Miami didn’t allow Gase to get out of their grasp, much to the disappoint of some Eagles’ fans, as Gase was one of the few hot names on the market.

I wrote several times that I wasn’t as high on Gase as some people. To me, Chicago’s offense didn’t exactly set the world on fire this year. Jay Cutler was still Jay Cutler, and the Bears predictably marched to a 6-10 finish. And while Gase has received a lot of praise for his work in Denver, Peyton Manning was a Hall-Of-Famer before he worked with Gase, so its hard to tell just how much of Manning’s great Bronco years were really the doing of his coach.

So I’m not necessarily disappointed that the Eagles missed out on Gase, but at the same time by no means was I against him being the guy. While I didn’t completely buy-in to the hype around him, he was still intriguing enough to me that I certainly would have considered him to be worthy of the job. Especially given the kind of underwhelming names that the Eagles have gone through in their search so far (more on that below).

On Tom Coughlin

The other big news that broke on Saturday morning was that the Eagles have requested permission to talk to former New York Giants head coach Tom Coughlin, and will speak to the 69-year old on Monday night.

This by far has been the most bizarre twist that the coaching search has taken to date.

I just can’t imagine Coughlin being the guy. It just doesn’t make sense.

Jeffrey Lurie in the past has been the kind of guy that wants to land a head coach that has long-term staying potential, much like what he got with Andy Reid.

If the Eagles are serious about Coughlin, and wind up making him their guy, Lurie better be prepared for yet another coaching search in two or three years.

Coughlin looked burnt out at the end of his tenure with the Giants. A coach once known for instilling discipline into a team allowed Odell Beckham to run wild in the team’s Week 15 match against the Carolina Panthers, letting Beckham go at it with Josh Norman throughout the game, resulting in the star receiver being suspended for a week.

The Giants have been a mediocre franchise ever since their last Super Bowl run, and even during the years they won their rings, its very debatable just how good those teams really were.

I’m actually a pretty big fan of Coughlin. But the idea of him being the next coach of this team is ridiculous.

Why No Hue Jackson Or Sean McDermott?

Two major names that have not come up in the Eagles’ coaching search to date are Cincinnati offensive coordinator Hue Jackson, and Carolina defensive coordinator Sean McDermott.

There was a report on Saturday that explicitly stated that the Eagles have no interest in Jackson. I can’t understand why the team wouldn’t at least do some due diligence here and give Jackson an interview. In a weak year for coaching candidates, he certainly warrants as strong a consideration as anyone else. Certainly he’s accomplished more on his resume than Doug Pederson…

McDermott’s case is just as puzzling to me. To be fair, its not just the Eagles that are turning their noses up at McDermott. The only team in the NFL to give him an interview so far has been the Cleveland Browns. I get that Ron Rivera is a defensive coach, and that might take away from McDermott’s case, but when you look at the Carolina defense and you see how guys like Luke Kuechly, Josh Norman, and even Kurt freakin Coleman have developed, again I feel like its worth talking to McDermott just for the sake of due diligence.

Who’s The Leading Candidate With Gase Out? 

Yikes.

With Gase out of the picture, and Hue Jackson and Sean McDermott apparently unworthy of entering the conversation, who does that leave the Eagles with?

Duce Staley, Pat Shurmur, Doug Pederson, Dirk Koetter, Ben McAdoo, Teryl Austin, Tom Coughlin, and Paul Guenther are all guys who have either interviewed, or will interview for the position.

Looking at those names again, it blows my mind even more that guys like Hue Jackson and McDermott can’t get interviews here.

There’s no clear front-runner at the moment. But if I had to guess what Lurie may do at this point, I think its safe to eliminate the defensive-minded guys Guenther and Austin from the picture.

If I had to choose from the names left on that list, I’m going with Ben McAdoo.

But with the way the coaching search has been unfolding, I have a sinking feeling that after Monday we could be hearing reports that Doug Pederson is a serious candidate for the job…

I hope JMac is ok, but that knee injury looks bad. This often happens when players come off of a knee injury, have a solid season, then the next season they wind up getting hurt again. If they make it through the second season then that is good. My concern with Bradford is that he will not make it through the second season, which is another reason I would not throw a lot of money his way. I am not willing to gamble on his health with a big paycheck. I am more inclined to believe Bradford will reinjure a knee next season, that is why if the Eagles cannot get him at a cap friendly price I let him go…I can see him in Houston next season regardless..much better situation for him talent wise and it’s close to home.

For RG3, it won’t be until March until after he passes their Physical that any release will occur with him..

Expect the Cowboys to go after Johnny Footballor RG3
Texans will pursue Bradord

If I’m the Eagles I may attempt Trade Down with the Texans and send them #13 for their #21st and a their 2nd Round Pick if they want to move down for a QB (Conner Cook or Carson Wenz) in the Draft

Trading Back from #13 is something Roseman will definitely explore to make up for the loss of no 2nd Pick…
There are 2 Top OTS that will go early (Tunsill/R Stanley) then the next wave are all 20 + ..
With 2 3rd Rounders & 2 4th Rounders it would be smart to make use of that #13 Pick in the 1st Round and turn it into more Picks for the Eagles could use as many Picks in that Top #125-#140 Selections as possible
Right now the Eagles have 5 Selections within this Range and if they can’t turn it into 7 Selections, then they should pursue doing this

HAC, I am more so in the letting Bradford walk camp. I just want to start fresh.I’m not concerned with going 8-8 next season with Bradford who has never had a winning season…nor am I afraid to find a QB…so I am ok with letting Bradford kick rocks…honestly I just do not see anything special enough to pay him what he will be looking for. On top of that like I said I think the chance of him reinjuring that knee again next season is high and not worth the risk. I would re-sign him for the right price, but I would not give him more that 18 for 3 years…he has done nothing to earn more than that during his career. No playoffs and no winning seasons…it’s nice he can throw a nice pass, however, this season 70% of his passes were 10 yards or less…Charlie Checkdown!

I truly don’t care about the money…I believe the eagles are pretty good about structuring contracts and making it work… I think we as fans see the $ amount and get pissed …I think it’s the absolute lowest form of sports debate.
I also don’t think there is a thing called total rebuild in the nfl…. Some would have said a 4-12 eagles team needed a rebuild, but then you draft a TE and a LT get a new coach and presto your in the playoffs… I worry about qb hell… The ponders, the manziel a, the rg mes etc… It is cold and lonely when those losers take over… Here we have KC making a run with smith, bengals still in this game with mccarron, Carson Palmer who has had an unspectacular career is an MVP type… I think Bradford can be that

I look at Bradford’s history to determine what he is and project what he can be…he can be a good QB, but he will never be that QB that will put the team on his shoulders and will a win in a meaningful game. Everything must be right for Bradford to stand a chance to be successful..i.e. have a winning record. Honestly, I see him going to Houston. The Eagles should not franchise him. I just think it would be better to build through the draft, including the QB position. Good scouting, coaching, scheme and talent evaluation is the key.

Ridiculous…you can not win in this league without a competent Quarterback. I dont know how Bradford was supposed to showcase great talent with receivers dropping leading the league in dropped passes, poor offensive line play, and no running game.
If you stop the linear thinking and look at all the factors..Bradford produced and that is exactly why other teams will pony up and give him the money. Houston is salivating at the opportunity to grab Bradford and they will pay up.
So unless you want try to find a needle in a haystack by drafting a QB-none of whom in this year’s draft are projected as starters…or go with Mark Sanchez as your starter which is absolutely ridiculous…you have to keep Bradford even if it means franchising him.
The expectation that Howie Roseman is going to be able to find us a diamond in the ruff Quarterback in the draft is worse than believing in the tooth fairy…its bad enough that we dont have a qualified football man in the front office.
We are in deep shit…deep trouble!

RG3 can read defenses.

He’s not very good pre-snap b/c he never had to be.

He’s fine post snap.

RG3 is smart and quite capable of learning a new system. He never had the support of Gruden and Cousins could have kept throwing interception and still wouldn’t have been benched. The wind made him do it one of those times.

So no. Right coach. Right system. RG3 will be fine.

You’re still in denial, that he isn’t a good QB. Two NFL Coaches confirm the opposite, and he proves it himself in his play.

So many were fooling themselves because of his measurables, but he can’t play!!!!

This isn’t the combine, this is the real thing, and he has looked outright silly in his performances.

Sigh.

RG3 ran a spread/option offense most of his career (college/pros), where the bulk of the decision making comes post snap. Did the DE crash…or whoever they are READING at the time – it’s not always that simple – but you get the picture.

In that type of system what happens AFTER the ball is snapped largely determines what you’re going to do with the ball. Which is what I was referring too.

So no “she” understands what reading a defense means..and knows…depending on what system the QB is in when a lot of those READS are going to happen.

RG3 has to get better on pre-snap reads if he’s going to run a more pro-system. He rarely made bad decisions with the ball in an option type system (keep, throw, pitch, run etc.), his stats generally back this up.

“Reading” whether a DE crashes or stays home is something that middle school option QB’s have been doing since the beginning of time…” Ok Johnny put the ball in the FB belly, ride it, take a look at the DE, if he is turned to the inside pull it out and get to the edge”…. That isn’t reading defenses that’s reading one man…. Reading defenses is deciphering coverages, blitz packages, understanding where pressure is likely to come from etc.
Option QB “reading” a DE (or OLB) is a pre school, picture book…. Reading a defense is a college level book (and I don’t mean an online degree mill college book)

and then go into 2016 and see what happens if it flames out and Eagles go 4-12 in 2016 then they should have a Top 5 Pick for some good QB’s in the 2017 and if EJ Manuel plays really well then maybe they build with him
But I stay away from any 3-4 Year $16-$18 Million a Year Committed Deal for Bradford for if he gets hurt, then they are stuck with him..

Really?

Are you really asking that?

Where was the ball?????

Right hand….holding as far out from his body as he could.

If he, like any solid, not “look at me” player would have done, had tucked the ball and dived into the endzone then it would have been an easy td,

And easy TD.

But no.

Desean stuck that ball all the way out to his right and danced his way in.

Whoops….missed you puss.

You cannot defend what Mesean did there. The TD was there is he had sucked it up and dove in…but that’s not his style…he had to hold that bal out there putting on a show and failed. Typical “drop that ball on the 1 yrd line” Mesean.

I expect the Bengals to lose OC Hue Jackson to the 49ers as early as Monday
And DC Paul Guenther is Interviewing for the Browns Job Monday as well

I would not be surprised to see the Bengals hire Lane Kiffin from Alabama as their next OC and work with AJ MaCamron who is likely the Future QB for them down the road by 2017…

Philly fans aren’t what they used to be. Ashamed give me a paper bag I don’t want to be seen. Lesean McCoy is in the front row of the Sixers Cavs game wearing a Cleveland Indians baseball hat and the dingbat fans gave him a standing ovation. What happened to Philadelphia. Once upon a time we booed Reggie White after leaving and booed Beyonce for wearing a LA Laker shirt during the NBA finals in Philly. Now I’m ashamed of our fans cheering Shady McCoy while wearing a Cleveland Hat at the Sixers Home game.

As I have tole you 78,654x QBs in their first playoff game lose 80% of the time. Its a friggen given. What happened was expected. First time in the playoff Qbs went 0-4 this weekend….what a non-suprise.

So you better think about your Bradford obsession…because when he finally makes the playoffs for the first time he’ll be 29 (min) and he will lose as all first timers do,

So if you stroke it for Bradford….like you do….recognize that you are hoping for a 30 yrd old loser in 2018 as the Eagles “best option”

Shit for Brains.

QBs in their first playoff games lose 80% of the time. Its a given you ignorant twit.

Qbs lose their first playoff game almost all the time. Its a given. I’ve been telling you this for 3 years and you still won’t listen!!!!

QBs in their first games were 0-4 this weekend!!!!

No one, but you, was surprised because its what happens every single time a “rookie” QB plays in the amped up playoffs.

Cousins didn’t “crash” or “come down to earth”. He did what every QB does in his first playoff game when the stakes are raised…..he struggled!!!!

When this happened to Foles (like 200yrds 2tds and 0 ints is struggling!!) you went ape shit.

You lost it.

You didn’t understand.

Now when Cousins struggled….again you are losing it. You are suprised. You are announcing he was “confused”

Of course he was you numbskull……it was his first playoff game!!!

ALL “rookie” QBs struggle their first playoff game….most lose.

Because you are a loser with no knowledge of the way the NFL works you are suprised by this and announce it like its the coming of Haley’s comet.

“Rook” QBs were 0-4 this weekend.

Only you are suprised.

And you pine for Bradford who has never been in the plaoffs.

When he makes it (hopefully with Cleveland) he will lose his first game like everyone else.

You WANT this….and why is it a problem??????

Becuse he’ll be 30 coming out the other side!!!!!!!!!!

Me?? I’d prefer a 23 yr old losing his first playoff game and building from there…..

Koolidiot?? He wants a 30 yr old losing his first game and “building” with a 30+ yr old loser.

I thought Cousins played ok and was not the reason the Skins Lost
The Redskins Front 7 on Defense got gassed halfway thru the 3rd Quarter and could not stop the Packers Rushing Attack which led to their loss

Cousins ended up 29/46 for 329 Yards for 1 TD (which should have been 2 TD’s if D-Jax runs hard after his Catch) and No Int’s but he took on too many Sacks (6 of them) and was late and behind receivers on a lot of passes which is a sign of indecision..

Bottom line is the Redskins are a good Year to 2 Years ahead of the Eagles right now in fielding a Playoff Competitive Team…

Cousins stats look good b/c of that pure WC offense they run. he dumps the ball off…receiver gets 20 yards, he ends up with 300 yards.

Cousins also threw 4-5 surefire pics including what would have been a pick six if Jordan Reed didn’t come out of nowhere and save the play.

The best thing for the Eagles is that the Skins sign Cousins long term. He just played his best year of football. It’s only gonna get worse from here.

You’re such an idiot.

Being a “first year starter” is a nice way of apologizing for the guys poor play. The team was his last year when RG3 went down with injury and he was the starter. He got benched.

If ANY other QB were playing this year he would have gotten benched. RG3 got benched for less. But they let him keep playing. He hit a bunch of bad teams and voila a start was born. Sound familiar?

RG3 is not my guy. Was never a fan, but he has talent MUCH more talent than Cousins. I said the SAME thing about Nick Foles and his 27/2. His flaws were OBVIOUS then AND he lucked up on playing bad teams and teams without their starting QB.

He hits the playoffs against a better team…and loses. Cousins did the exact same thing. His playing style is more in the line with Tannenhill than Foles, but the results are the same. Miami was 8-8 last year too (8 games is all it took to win the East this year) – Cousins is just good enough to keep a franchise thinking “Oh this year will be his year.”

The East is bad, so maybe they win it again – though a healthy Cowboys team might have something to say about that.

Here is what i want us to do at QB

let bradford walk and sign RG3 for a few reasons:
1. RG3 rookie year was better than Sams best pro season
2. RG3 will be way cheaper
3. RG3 is way more accurate than sam
4. RG3 can make all the throws
5. RG3 just has way more talent

now i recognize RG3 isnt necessarily an ideal situation but I think he is better than any other qb available and better than sam and sanchez… i am not a fan of running qbs at all and thats not why i want him. i want him for his accuracy, i want him because i dont want sam or sanchez either.

i think he is our best bet. and think his demise in DC was mostly b/c of injuries and dysfunctional front office in dc. bring him here let him and sanchez compete and go from there

My favourite part of the entire weekend was how, when the chips were down, all the clowns reverted to their natural state.

Front-running MeSean who has a rep for being a “me first” selfish player who disappears when the going gets tough was exactly that. Holding that ball out for everyone to see and gliding “into” the endzone instead of doing his job and fighting his way in. Put your head down???? Try hard??? Not his style. Gotta put on a show you know!!! And how did he then respond to playing like a puss….he bailed on a route the only other time I saw him on the field…otherwise he shrank the way he always does.

So glad he’s not an Eagle. Can never win with guys like that.

And then the complete idiot Vontaze Burfict (who many in here clamored for).

32 teams passed on that guy because in college he was a complete idiot on the field. He lost himself millions. And someone takes a chance on the guy….and does he say to himself, “I am happy for this opportunity. I will show my team why they should have faith in me.” Nope.

Chips are down and he juuuuust can’t help himself can he?? When the Pitt defender hammered Bernard with the illegal hit, I said to my friends….”I bet that clown Burfict is going to try to head-hunt someone for revenge.”

And he did. Put himself above the team and lost the game.

First there was the knee to Roethlesburger’s shoulder then that ridiculous “the game is over!!” run to the dressing room when in fact there was 1:30+ left and the game was not over. And then the completely selfish torpedoing of Brown to lose the game. With a little assist from everyone’s favourite model citizen Pac Man Jones.

When the chips are down, losers always revert to being the losers they are deep down.

All so predictable.

Well there is one thing that will never ‘revert’…you Vinniedafool…

You are a fool now, you were a fool yesterday, you were born a fool

Desean Jackson opens up the field for other receviers with his speed…there was nothing he did wrong, we wasn’t “hotdogging’ he got pushed out of bounds like a lot receivers do on a lot of plays…fool…

When the Quarterback chokes up under pressure receivers who are running good patterns and open cant get the ball.

Kurt Cousins simply reverted to the QB that he really is…a mediocre QB.

Bradford, played well under pressure with no receivers, no running game…he is the best available QB for the Eagles…bottom line period.

Vontaze Burfict is an excellent linebacker…I’d take him in a heartbeat…I believe he didn’t know where the ball was thought guy possibly had it and took the shot…the referees cost the Bengals the game…they were horrible…what was Joey Porter doing on the field??

Players like Desean Jackson, Vontaze Burfict are the players that you can win with in football. Talent is what wins football games. Its non talented players like your Nick Foles who this year reverted to what he really was…a below average back up Quarterback that you cant win with…

Vinniedafool, we all know that you are hoping beyond hope that somehow, maybe, possibly…Nick Foles will be cut by the Rams…he was that awful and with Bradford out of the way…we could resign Nick Foles and go on to glory with Nick!

BUT ITS OK JACCPOT JACCSON YOU DID NOTHING WRONG CUZ THE GUY THATS ALWAYS WRONG SAYS YOU DIDNT.

OH AND HERE IS SOME MORE ABOUT THAT PATHETIC COWARDLY PUSSY PLAY

“DeSean decided it would be best to hold the ball behind him while approaching the goal line and pylon, tucking it at his hip instead of stretching it out like, you know, every other player in the NFL would do. College too. High school also. Not to mention flag, or just playing outside in the snow.

Though it’s not seen in the video, Jackson completely slowed up after catching the ball, his standard look-at-me, hotshot move, evidently figuring he’d easily be able to score by not attempting to put the ball over the goal line.”

I can’t stress enough, the fact that I’ve said on here numerous times, no team that loses every game and finishes last are granted the 1st overall pick. Usually the team around 3rd worst I believe it’s a 25% chance (percentage could be wrong) of getting 1st overall

As you can see from the standings the Lakers are hovering around 3rd worst setting up what I’ve been afraid of for awhile that the nba is setting the big money maker Lakers up for a return to glory by granting them Kobe’s replacement Ben Simmons

So in hindsight I understand what Hinkie was trying to do but I didn’t agree with it. I’ve been saying since last season on here to start Ish Smith. The offensive flow is way way better. Hes a very good functional point guard. They better resign him this time around!

I don’t want either of these guys. Coughlin looked senile in some of those last minute losses this season. The only 2 seasons the Giants won playoff games were the 2 Superbowl years; the rest of the time they were mediocre. Don’t get me wrong, I think the guy earned a trip to the HOF, but I can’t see him getting us to the promised land.
I think Doug Pederson is going to be the hire. 3 years of Chip has made Lurie nostalgic for the Andy Reid days and Pederson appears to be the only leaf from that tree that is available.
I’d keep looking.
Maybe we should have ridden with Chip for 1 more season?

Andy Reid essentially had a winning season almost every year he was in Philly. The one season he didn’t he was terminated with a 4-12 season. Chipper had 2 winning seasons out of 3 years and the year he didn’t he was terminated. The New Head Coach hire is not getting any leeway. Jeff Lurie demands a winning record. The media is somewhat portraying Lurie as patient. I don’t see patience from him at all. He will not watch a new head coach take a step backward from 7-9 and certainly not watch this new head coach have multiple losing seasons. The new hire has to perform and quickly.

Chip had to go not able to lead men yet and watching the same 10 plays over and over with penalties due to fatigue was horrific.

Sam Bradford is the best QB we have had since McNabb in his prime. If you can risk 100 mil on Vick you can signSam long term.

I want a coach that will build an o-line and run the ball and use play action to get guys like Matthews and Agholor separation. Must name a 1 and 2 reliever andNOT rotate so damn much

rg3 will not have as many suiters as bradford imo and his price will be lower than his as well. i look at foles deal as a precedent for rg3’s approx 3 years 27mill with an easy out…

id do it too. give me rg3 at 3 for 30 over bradford at any amount, he is just better… washington destroyed him, put him back on the field injured out of desperation then they just destroyed him publicly

only thing i dont like about rg3 is he is too nice of a person without enough fire to be a team leader but to me its rg3, bradford or sanchez and to me its a no brainer who has the most talent out of that 3

at the end of the day unfortunately i just dont see him coming here. i feel as if we are about to go reallllllllllllllllllly soft, not make waves, do the subtle cautious moves and the outcome will be shurmur and bradford coming back. by the way WHY IS BILLY DAVIS STILL HERE?????????????

agreed and i dont know what the right move is. if im looking at just rg3, sanchez or bradford here is i think the real narrative on the 3

rg3 – most talented, not a leader, guys may not respect him (like they did in washington) because he is a super nice person and displays no fire/emotion on the field… overall i think he gives you the best chance to win the most games. he would be my pick for next year

bradford – a bust of a 1st round pick, did not bring us a positive return on our trade, scared to throw the ball down field, will not win you any games with his talent, guaranteed a losing record, guaranteed to miss a few games, lack of situational awareness, crumbles when the pressure is turned up. he would be my second choice at qb if you cut sanchez, i say this because if/when he goes down then this signing would be a failure and i dont want a competent sanchez to come in and win a few meaningless games and prevent us from getting a high draft pick/qb of the future

sanchez – well we know what he is.. he is my 3rd choice at qb but a close tie with bradford. i almost want to say just let bradford walk and let sanchez run the show to give you the best chance at getting a high draft pick and a shot at a franchise qb. but i like watching the eagles compete too much to have them intentionally be shit

Probably the only reason People think Bradford played well in the 2nd Half of the Season is because he played so Poorly the First Half so any improvement in his game was hyped up to look better when in reality, he was average which is all he’s ever been his entire Career.. Bottom line, He’s not a Winner, which some of us have stated from Day 1 … everything else stats wise is irrelevant .. Let him walk..

We have a QB for 5 to 10 years. You do not piss that away.

his decisions are fair considering time in system. He will be very very good if allowed time to be consistent with a coach and system.CONSIDERING THE SYSTEM?????? THE SYSTEM THAT MADE FOLES LOOK LIKE A GOOD? THE SYSTEM THAT EVERY ANALYST IN THE WORLD SAID WAS THE MOST QB FRIENDLY SYSTEM IN THE NFL AND THEY SAID ANY QB COULD BE GOOD IN THIS SYSTEM?

We have a QB for 5 to 10 years. You do not piss that away. WE DO? I DONT WANT A BELOW AVERAGE BOTTOM 5-10 QB EVERY TIME HE PLAYS FOR MY TEAMS QB FOR 5-10 YEARS

SAM TURNS THE BALL OVER TOO MUCH

HE THROWS 3 YARDS WHEN YOU NEED 10

HE HAS NO KILLER INSTINCTS

HE LITERALLY HAS 0% CHANCE OF WINNING A SUPER BOWL ON ANY TEAM ANYWHERE BECAUSE HE ISNT A WINNER

LOOK AROUND THE NFL, LOOK AT WHAT YOUR BASELINE SHOULD BE IN A QB. 4000 YARDS AND 24 TDS SHOULD BE THE MINIMUM ACCEPTABLE MEASUREMENT FOR YOUR QB IN THIS PASS HAPPY NFL AND SAM JUST ISNT CAPABLE OF THAT SO ITS TIME TO FIND SOMEONE WHO CAN DO WHAT YOU NEED FROM YOUR QB

I’ll go one more. All I read about is “Look at the second half…..”

Well, if I am going to just casually throw away over 1/2 a season because it “doesn’t count”…well, I am also going to toss out the Week 17 game against the Giants. They weren’t trying. There was absolutely no pass-rush and Giants DBs (whoever they were) basically stood in place all day.

So if people can just discount 1/2 a season, I can discount a game where the other team wasn’t trying.

So do that and after Bradfrod gets back from his yearly injury he goes:

2W 2L 6tds to 3 ints.

6 tds in 4 games. Wow. Exciting.

BTW – 2 of those 6 tds came late in the 4th Q in blowout losses to Arizona and Washington.

Wow….”great” indeed.

Y it looks like Pederson is the front-runner.

I frankly am ok with the idea. I completely understand why Lurie would be leaning this way. Lurie is trying to bring back that “stability”, prolonged playoff opportunities etc that Reid brought.

Who knows? Andy Reid was often a problem on game days, but at least early on was building the team properly. He’s pretty much copied the formula in KC.

1 – Find a QB (McNabb from Draft/Smith from FA)
2 – Add a young tackle for stabilize the line for a decade (Runyan from FA Fisher from draft)
3 – Find a grizzled old no-nonsense D co-ordinator and have him build a top D (Johnson/Sutton)
4 – add a FA or 2 at the skill positions when you feel the team is close. (Owens/Maclin)

If Pederson can copy that formula AND perhaps not succumb to Andy Reid’s perchance to throwing the ball 58x a game while throwing away timeouts….well….they might have something!

This year:

Draft an LT first round. 2 guards in the 3rd
Roll with Sanhcise and lose 12 games

Next year QB with the top 5 pick.

Pray.

Bradford is a 6 year loser…heading to 29 with absolutely nothing under his belt except pure mediocrity (at best)

No thanks. I would 10000x out of 10000x prefer for the Eagles to roll with a first round rookie who would spend 3 years fighting to learn the league and become a success than to watch 3 years of bradford roll into his 30s with a continual sub .500 record.

Follow the money…money talks, bullshit stats, past accomplishments and everything else walks. The true value that teams place on players are determined by the contract they will sign.

Foles right now would be lucky to get the league minimum now.
Bradford is going to get no less than 16-22 million per year…about 40-50mil guaranteed.

i remembered wrong. nj gave sixers a shit ton of tax credits but philly wouldnt give them shit… so the pay wage tax. 3 years in hell will pay off the plan was always at least 5 years… dr j said the goal was to contend for a title in 2020…

you get simmons and sign derozen, maybe conley…. shits starting to look real good… i wouldnt be surprised if they traded for him or someone at the deadline this year although unlikely..

That would mean that they would have to start building a team by next year if the turnaround would be in 5 years. Wouldn’t it be year 4 of the regime?

JH already posted on here a month or two ago about the possibility of signing DeMar DeRozan this off season

Reason why they could is due to the relationship Mr. Colangelo s son has with him. Remember his son Bryan was the gm for Toronto and he drafted DD and they have a close relationship I hear.

So with all of this we may have a strong chance of signing him this summer, but we’ll see!

DD is a very very good player and has elevated his game this year

Keep Ish as pg, have him cut his hair and then sign him to an extension (they should sign him now before he commands too much money)

Sign DD

Fly Saric in

Embiid is ready now but they’ll wait because they have no reason to rush him back this year, and they don’t wanna win too many games

May have to trade Noel, he deserves to start at center, he’s not really a PF. I dont want any of them traded I’d like to see if all can coexist..

And Okafor isn’t going anywhere unless its for a trade to get Ben Simmons. You don’t trade a guy like Okafor with the potential he has unless it’s to get a superstar(Durant) or to move up for Simmons

Unless we end up with 1st overall we don’t have to worry about trading anyone for him…

if embiid is healthy okafor can go… all indications are he hates philly… he has had problems off the court and he is a 1 dimensional player. if you get derozen, and have embiid healthy you dont need okafors 1 dimensional game

Henski he’s 19! No way am I letting him go without getting a lot in return.

I’d need a guarantee that I ‘ll get Ben Simmons or a superstar like Durant or Paul George

A lot of players have off the court crap. Barkley is one of the guys that can be an example of that, so young

Okafor is averaging 17pts a game, most nights he gets over 20. He is a franchise cornerstone. Haven’t had a guy this good playing in the post since Moses Malone and CBarkley

I know all about okafor and like him a lot if it wasn’t for a surplus of bigs I’d never talk about moving him and actually the more I think we just aren’t good enough to trade him period unless it’s for a s.s. Like u said…

Regarding embiid ur wrong he isn’t medically cleared, while he is healthy u put him at way to much risk having him go now. It has nothing to do with tanking.

henski…I see you know less about basketball! Let Okafor go are you kidding that kid has some of the best low post moves in the NBA! We simply need to build around the kid…get rid of Hinkie…he’s another Howie Roseman…a pencil pusher that simply does not know the game…
Getting Jerry Colangelo was the best move the Sixers made in a long time..someone who has experience has been around the game…a basketball mind..we.now see that they are bringing in some vets to school young talented kids like Okafor.
The Eagles should take a close look at the Sixers

We’ll see about Westbrook, because Sixers will be a very attractive team withal the young talent, and they have the most money under the cap.

As far as Oladipo is concerned, I like him more so than Derozen, mainly because of his defense – and the fact that Derozen, will more than likely go home to California, and play for the Lakers.

But Jackson will have to earn is minutes, and because of inexperience he will not start over Oladipo – It very well may change as he gets more seasoned as a pro, but not immediately.

But yeah bruh, that team looks more like a Championship caliber team with Noel, Saric, and Embiid coming off the bench – and starting temporarily when needed.

Hahaha Embiid coming off the bench?!?!?

OMG funniest thing I’ve heard today hahahahaaa

Hes a cornerstone

Hes starting no two ways about it

I’ve been talking about us getting Westbrook for two years, they’d have to trade for him, doubt he’d flat out sign here, regardless of our young talent

We’d have to trade for him while he’s still in contract

I say we should look into trading for Paul George and look to sign Kevin Durant this summer. Also mentioned DeMar Derozen as a guy we may have the inside track on signing this summer

I think Colangelo with all his connections and creativity and them still having Hinkie who is also a creative guy, we have a chance of forming a really really good roster going into next year

JH, Where you, and I connect is in our love for our 76ers.

But I really think you jump the gun sometimes. What makes you so sure Embiid is 100% healthy??….and after not playing basketball for 3 years, do you really think he’s going to peak to the height of his full potential???

That’s not reasonable. So yes, he would be coming of the bench.

He WAS one of our cornerstones – until he got hurt again, – but he is still a valuable asset to the team until he proves otherwise, and this gives him time to gradually flow into his potential – Bottom line is he isn’t ready to start yet.

Paul George isn’t the same Paul George before the injury, and wouldn’t be worth signing, nor need to sign him, or Durant, if you were to draft Ben Simmons since they would play the same position with Saric coming off the bench….That makes no sense.

The Sixers have more money under the cap than any franchise in the league – You don’t know what Westbrook would do – bottom line fact

Superstars on playoff contending teams are getting older. Signing with a young, talented, contending team with the cap space to write him a nice check would be beneficial for him – and smart……

The reason why we can say he’s healthy is from all the latest video that we’ve seen. Hes doing low post moves, he walking and moving without the boot or cast. He’s way more visible then he was last year. In fact he was healthy last year putting the ball between his legs dunking until they didn’t like something on his mri. Remember?

Well they’ve warned him about doing any of that. They want this thing to go right this time. No highlight dunks etc .. but he’s healthy

More BS from Cliff who wants to be right about Embiid and Noel so bad. You think I forgot? You don’t think either guy are worthy, you think Noel is a bum and don’t think Embiid is franchise changer hahahah

I remember around draft time you said Embiid wasn’t Olajawon 2.0 that he wasnt that good etc hahaha so you don’t want to deviate too much from your earlier opinions

If you think Embiid is a guy that’ll come off the bench and isn’t a cornerstone, then you really do have to get your head examined

Paul George – you said George wasn’t the player he was anymore since the injury?!?!? Are you insane?!?!? He hasn’t showed any ill effects from his injury wtheck are you talking about?!?!

Paul George 2015-2016 averages
PPG 24.1 RPG 7.6 AS 3.8

Yea Cliffy, he’s really not the same anymore! Hes back to his normal averages!!!!

Don’t throw crap against the wall hoping it sticks for the sake of proving your argument to be right

You talk about being reasonable, you’re the most unreasonable person on this site when it comes to evaluating players

Durant has another 10 years left in this league wtheck are you smoking?!?! Getting old?!?!!? He just turned 27 this past September!!! LeBron is 31 still doing powerful windmill dunks, hes the best player in the NBA. What the heck is your point?!?!

Your views are very clouded

Youre saying no to Paul George, no to Kevin Durant, no to DeMar DeRozan hahahahaha

I still don’t see your point Jon….If we draft Simmons, what use would we have for either Durant, or George????

Your points about what he is averaging is irrelevant. He’s not leaving Indiana anyway…We wouldn’t need him playing the same position as Simmons. You’re doing a lot of talking, but nothing is sticking because you’re being unreasonable, and illogical…

and yes, as I stated neither Noel, or Embiid is worthy of a max deal right now. That’s just logic. Embiid hasn’t played one game yet, and you have no idea at this time if his health will hold up. Why do you feel otherwise??? That’s what I mean when I say you jump the gun with extreme presumptuousness.

Half the things your saying I said I never even stated. Who said Durant was old?

Jon you sound like a little immature child when you try to defend your position on issues, but if you just reason on what I stated, and stop trying to put words in my mouth, you may see what most on here see when they read your points of view……

ya gotten have tepid expectations regarding embiid.. he has only been playing basketball at any level for 5 years and 2 of those 5 years he has been injured and not playing at all, so really he has 3 years of playing experience (2 in high school and 1 in ncaa) so to expect him to be a game changer within the first 2 years of his nba career (whenever that begins) is a bit unrealistic

Nothing more to say other than your unreasonable in your evaluation of players. You go with your heart and as you know from being a Christian, “the heart is treacherous” can’t base things making heart decisions, use your head

You sound ridiculous

Embiid coming off the bench, Paul George isn’t the same player since the injury, don’t go after Durant because we MIGHT draft Simmons and they play the same position, Demar Derozen isn’t that good?!?!?!

You sound like a maniac

All those guys minus Embiid/Simmons are all stars!!!
