They are definitely insufferable. I’ve heard this week we should trade Jalen in the offseason and roll with Tanner McKee….???!?!?
The trade AJ stuff is unbearable too. And what kind of question is “do you think you’ve lost a step?”. What are you hoping to get out of that? “Yea Im washed guess I’ll hang it up after this season”
Then there was the “Eagles should trade three 1sts for Myles Garrett” take😭🥴🤦♂️
That bullshit WIP and that clown ESP are the worst ones. The vast majority just live to stir the pot.
There are a lot of reporters that are solid though so I don’t wanna crap on all them too hard, the best ones are the ones who don’t live for hot takes and just stick to actual football.
To be fair, we heard that Tanner should start over Jalen DURING OUR SUPER BOWL SEASON last year lol.
There’s just a contingent of fans, media and (apparently) employees that never liked Jalen and just can’t be normal about it.
There's definitely a racial component with Jalen that people don't like admitting.
I live in NC and there were Panthers fans who wanted Cam Newton benched even when he was playing well and winning a MVP.
Dominique Foxworth and Bomani Jones joke about the "Black Up" QB sign a black back up QB to pair with the black franchise QB and that quells the noise from fans of wanting them benched
This is a great idea…
There is not a racial component with it, especially when you're talking about the Philadelphia Eagles. We have had a black quarterback the majority of the time since like 1987. Most of the Eagles fans that are still Eagles fans today are Eagles fans primarily because it's the one franchise that continually gives black quarterbacks the opportunity to be the quarterback.
It’s because he’s black, stop pussyfooting and call it out for what it is.
Always has been. Mcnabb wasn't a perfect QB but he was easily among the best QBs in his era not named Brady, Favre, (Peyton) Manning and Brees. I always thought that it was mostly because we never could get over the hump but now seeing that we've gotten over that hump WITH a black QB and the media (and some fans) are shitting on him not even a year later just confirms to me that it is a race issue. Even if no one wants to really acknowledge that fact.
Say it louder for the people in the back. This is all it is, and to act like it’s not is just being disingenuous.
Both McNabb and Vick were never talked about as negatively as Hurts... Not during a winning streak. We have to face the fact that some people refuse to appreciate extremely mobile quarterbacks. Especially when they can point towards the tush push as a means for success. Sprinkle in the fact that he led the team that had the worst in season collapse since 94 and you have all you really need.
It's not though. There's a large group of people that watch football that legit believe a quarterback throwing for 10 yards is better than a quarterback running for 10 yards... Hell Hurts gets treated worse than McNabb most of the time even though he's got a SB MVP
Brady vs. Hurts
The most popular athlete in Philly is the backup QB
Always found it really funny that even after we won a Super Bowl with the backup QB, the fans didn't have many issues really going back to the starter that season. Lot of really calm, rational takes around Wentz in 2018. The craziness didn't really start taking off until 2019 and especially 2020 (when it was clearly over anyway)
But every other long-time Eagles QB in the 21st century has had fans screaming for the backup. Wonder what the common factor of all the non-Wentz successful starting QBs in the past 25 years has been.
Im not opposed
Yesterday Decamara said we should start the backup and didn’t even know his name…..top of the line clown
First of all understand I'm not endorsing this:
I mean, if the coaching staff truly believes in McKee then from a franchise building standpoint it would be a bold yet productive move to flip Hurts for a boatload of picks in 2026 and beyond, and take advantage of yet another window with a low paid quarterback and continue building the lines and secondary.
There was a team building theory presented buy a former GM, I don't remember which one but I heard it on Sirius NFL radio when the wildcat was kind of dying out but the read option was exploding in college football and just barely getting introduced in the NFL. Basically it was to focus all of the early draft picks, free agency, and salary cap on the offensive and defensive lines, the secondary, and wide receivers. Then you continually draft running backs and just run them into the ground on rookie deals and never resign them, and continually draft mobile quarterbacks that can run the read option and throw the ball deep with accuracy and run them into the ground on rookie contracts and never resign them. The idea was to have a stable of those quarterbacks and running backs that are just consumables and you would always have the most talented roster in the league around them so long as you were competent at drafting and identifying undervalued free agents to sign long-term. Whenever one of those quarterbacks showed promise to be able to operate in a system outside of your franchise, you could trade them for a bunch of picks to continue building the rest of your team out.
