CFZ I was at Eagles Training Camp; here is a report on the enemy

[JoeKing]

1. His name is Star of Glory

2. He has an original avatar of a Dallas Cowboys helmet.

3. Immediately after stating “we” have the best QB, he followed it up by castrating Hurts:

We have, by far, the best QB in the division. Jalen Hurts still has no consistent timing with his receivers, nor does he have particularly good downfield vision.

4. He repeatedly refers to The Eagles as “They” and “Them” throughout the post:

Right now, they will finish second in the division and go out in the first round.
I know they want to work with him and hopes he can become the #2.

Toss in Chez Watkins, and they would be very dangerous if they had a real QB.

5. On top of all of that, he opens his post by hypothesizing what it must be like to be an Eagles fan:

Being an Eagles fan must be frustrating.


No mind reading required.

What happened here is you made a comprehension mistake. However, when you were corrected, instead of simply saying oops, you have doubled down in defending your original post to try and save face. Notice how no one else in this thread made the same mistake.

I asked him to forgive my mistake so kindly get off my butt. It's between me and the OP so piss off.

Surely you must be joeking

Just pray that Hurts doesn’t get injured… because Minshew would make that team much better.

beat me to it…

Hurts hurts my eyes to watch and my ears to listen to all the media types blow his horn. He sucks and will never take them anywhere.

I could see Howey trading for Jimmy G. He'd probably get them to give him up for peanuts like a conditional late 7th rounder or straight cash considerations lol! He always seems to fleece teams in trades.

So, I was invited to see camp by a friend who works for the Eagles. I used to go a few times back in the day when Juan Castillo was my neighbor and I was friendly with Jon Runyan. Here is what I saw.

We have, by far, the best QB in the division. Jalen Hurts still has no consistent timing with his receivers, nor does he have particularly good downfield vision. Being an Eagles fan must be frustrating, since watching AJ Brown and Davonte Smith, they clearly have real talent and speed at the WR position. Toss in Chez Watkins, and they would be very dangerous if they had a real QB.

To add to this, their offensive line is no joke. Hurts has plenty of time to make those throws, but just can't do it with any consistency. Twice he had 4+ seconds in the pocket and missed receivers who had their man beat. He did keep a few plays alive with his legs, but with that line, just throw the damn ball.

Mishnew is what he is, a capable backup.

Carson Strong threw two balls that went 65+ yards in the air, and it didn't look like he was even trying. He has the arm strength of Hercules. Too bad he has the mobility of a pregnant cow. In the right system he could be a real player. I know they want to work with him and hopes he can become the #2.

I am 6'4", 275. Jordan Mailata walked past me. I felt small.

Miles Sanders could be a #1 back, but he just gets hurt too often, and does have a bit of the fumbles. He does have the talent.

On one play, Jordan Davis destroyed a blocker, shed another, and ran one of their scat backs down from behind.

The Eagles with a real QB would have a chance to go deep in the playoffs. Right now, they will finish second in the division and go out in the first round.

Just my humble opinion based on a limited look.

I went out to Lehigh a long time ago with the guys from the KFFL board.
McNabb and TO years.
They have always been a bit light on QB.

This is the same narrative for Hurts when he was in college. That's why Bama's receivers got immensely better when Tua took the starting job.

I like Hurts. He's unflappable and is a good kid. But he's likely never going to be an elite passer. You seldom can fix those things in the NFL.

I forgot you were on the old KFFL board.
Was Raid/Raider with you?

The Eagles remind me of our team in 2016 with their Achilles heel being the QB.
If they don't do a Jerry(sign Hurts to a cap-killing contract)and draft themselves a top prospect in the upcoming NFL Draft they might be the new team to beat in the NFC.

If the Eagles had 2016 Dak they would be division favs...

Really not a great difference between Hurts and Dak and here's hoping the Eagles find out in the next 5 years!!

[ConstantReboot]

Isn't this Hurt's 2nd season? I don't judge QBs to harshly until their 2nd or 3rd season. After that, it's what have they won?
What has Dak won? I'm a Cowboy and Bills fan. Josh Allen's first 2 seasons he had the lowest completion percentages in the league. Today I would take him over Dak in a heartbeat.

But everyone knew Josh had talent. He also didn't have the weapons he has now.

 

[Hadenough]

Jalen Hurts is the worst QB in the division. The Eagles talented roster is wasted until they find a QB.

 

[Ken]

104.9 to 87.

I will say that is a huge gap.

Yes. Raid, Erik the Jerk, Wings, NNNNNN and a few others.

LOL

LOL

We will see twice this year..

Thats really cool, enjoy that mobility and travel safely.

I'm 53 years old, and have been a diehard Cowboys fan since 1977. I have never been to one of their games, so I am enjoying this immensely. I have been to two NFL games(Raiders vs. Browns in L.A., and Raiders vs. Vikings in Oakland with both games being in the 90's), but as fun as those games were, they weren't my team. This is the first time in my 45 years of fanhood I have got to see them live. Adding training camp days with the Rams and Chargers is just a bonus on top of that. SB champs, and Herbert is my 2nd fave QB next to Dak.

 

[muck4doo]

Lucky him got invited. That doesn't mean he's not an Eagles fan. It is abnormal for other team's fans to show up to a different team's training camp, and stop lying. It happens but it is abnormal. Cowboys fans don't go to the Eagles training camp.

Wait what? I'm going to the Rams and Chargers training camps this week, besides going to the Cowboys training camp. The tickets are free, and I didn't need a fan invite. That doesn't make me a Rams or Chargers fan. I think it's interesting to see how different NFL teams run their camps. I hate the Eagles, but if I had a chance to see how they practice I would definitely do it.
