Nothing wrong with signing low cost veterans

[xwalker]

...IF you sign the correct ones.

The Eagles paid 4.66M total for 2024 to OLineman Mekhi Becton.

Becton was a bust for the Jets as the 11th overall pick in theh 2020 NFL draft.
- The Jets played him at OT and were dissappointed.

The Eagles sign him and put his 360+ pound body at OG.
- He was their starting RG including 4 playoff games.
- Result: The Eagles powered their way to a Super Bowl win with a mediocre QB...

Nothing wrong with signing low cost veterans, no...

But you can't only sign low cost veterans

 

[acr731]

You may have lost your credibility by calling Hurts mediocre. If he is mediocre what does that make Dak?

I guess Mahomes is mediocre too, right?

Also signed Zack Baun for cheap. I just ask for balance. The cheap signings don’t bother me. I’d like a few more Fowler type signings that way we don’t have to rely on the draft to fix holes.

And yet even Sirriani would take Mahomnes over Hurts if he could. Any coach would.

Never thought I’d see the day a Cowboy fan would slob up an Eagles player. Damn.

No one is slobbing on Hurts, merely pointing out the idiocy of calling a super bowl champion mediocre while our guy hasn't been able to get out of the wildcard round in 9 seasons.

Dak would probably be in the absolute best shape of his life by then for sure and only slightly less mobile

Never thought I’d see the day a Cowboy fan would slob up an Eagles player. Damn.

This fan isn't non stop crying about Dallas players. Bring the green demons on, now!

Some will tell you Hurts is more than mediocre QB but I 100% agree.

These guys have experience and provide needed depth.

Bingo.

Not really. It's a team game. Hurts has the team around him.

'Right players?' Do tell us all now, since you attack the depth of leadership also as to in and now, and what the limits of their actions are here today. Me, this is the off season and I'm not going to start booking before the team isn't even set as to roster and practice squad. At the least, I see lot's of potential and on the current talent levels at that.

Hoooah, 'Boys.

 

[CCBoy]

If they just weren't Eagles it would be hard to argue with success.

 

[plasticman]

Nothing wrong at all.

In fact, very useful.

What type of impression would a team create for their rookies if they just strutted in and were handed a place on the roster? How much would that motivate them to improve and compete to their fullest ability?

Get the rookies into camp and introduce them to the veterans that will play their position if they don't impress enough.

I guarantee that you will then see a different level of motivation than you would without these low-cost veteran free agents.

And who really knows? That veteran, who probably feels somewhat disrespected at this point, may just develop a new competitive drive that leads to an unexpected breakout. It has happened.

 

[charron]

No but if they make up the core of your team especially if they have 1-2 year contracts then it is extremely hard to build something special.
