Philly covets backup QBs more than any team in the nfl in the Lurie era. We brought in starters in Jeff Garcia, Jeff Blake, Doug Pederson, Josh McCown, Vince Young, even Vick to be backups. Foles was a third round pick we took right after giving Vick 100m$.
So if this was a third round pick for Hurts I’d say it was a great pick and makes total sense. A second is a bit much for a backup, but maybe they just thought the drop off after him was significant and there’s no way he’d still be on the board. Pederson looked super pumped to get him.
Some people said he might be our Taysom Hill, which I think is stupid because Carson is our Brees AND our Taysom Hill. I don’t think it means somethings wrong with carson, it’s genuinely an overly valued no. 2 QB.
don’t hate it, but I did really want mims
