Eagles trade for RB Jordan Howard

[Bigdog]

Wait, Philly still has the NFL’s least clutch QB, right!?!?

The North Dakota dork who can’t stay healthy and whose teammates called him out for a lack of leadership ability!?!?

They do!?!?

PHEWWWWWWWW

Some people on this board would not approve of this post.

Damn he was really good his first couple years in the league. Fell off last year but Im not sure why...

He's done.

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

I still think we pick up a RB on day 1 or 2

I agree, he’d go great with Josh Jacobs. But I was disputing his specific point

 

[ThatJerryKid]

Do you really think Vander Esch and Jaylon are worried about this guy? Well, do ya?

 

[DCowboyz]

I think Cohen's pass catching abilities fit their offense better.

I wonder if CHI figures if they found Howard in the 5th, they can find another good RB again in the middle rounds; a RB that can compliment Cohen.(like how Ingram complimented Kamara) (not saying cohen = kamara... y'know what i mean)

It makes sense. Chicago's offense works better with Cohen. Which is why they were giving Howard less and less carries. Yes he wasn't what he once was, (rookie year) but he still has a chance to be solid for the Eagles.

Good post, I was going to say the same: Cohen is much better in their O but Howard isn't chopped liver by any means. We got Quinn for a 6th and they got Howard for a 6th too.....damn, that just sucks. We still have more work to do: specifically at Safety and the Dline.

I guess that is ok with the Cowboys because the Eagles probably will not be drafting one of the top backs in the draft and the Cowboys probably will.

They couldn’t go a day with Dallas getting a steal they had to do one of their own money moves and it’s something they needed. Hate it cause it makes them better.

Their QB has Sean Lee syndrome so Howie will need to refill his blood pressure scripts sooner or later.

 

[Oh_Canada]

Eagles gave up more for a RB with a 3.7ypa average than Dallas did for a starting edge rusher?

 

[Crazed Liotta Eyes]

LOL - luckily i could care less what the village idiot thinks have a nice evening.

Another keyboard warrior dishing out the insults. What a world it is that I can't respond appropriately to that.

Howard is a solid RB who has given the Eagles that big short yardage thumper who is a physical presence.

As far as Wentz goes Im surprised at all the hate and criticism for the guy. If the Eagles called Dallas and said we will trade you Wentz for Dak I can GUARANTEE Jerry would do that deal without a bit of hesitation. Yeah Wentz has been injured but his floor is equal to Daks good play. And his ceiling is much higher than Dak he just needs to be smart and use his legs to buy him time instead of running. Arm strength and accuracy he is much better.

Wentz last two seasons 54 TDs and 14 int in 24 games
Daks last two seasons 44 TDs and 21 int in 32 games

And for those of you who say I left out the 2016 season conveniently the reason is Dak surprised defenses and Carson was in learning mode his first season and had absolutely no weapons. These numbers give you an idea of how the players have progressed.

for a 5th or 6th? wow. that's a great deal

He wasn’t really their starter anymore from what I gathered. He’s regressed every year.

Bears didn't use him right. He was a beast until they hired that coach.

 

[Clarkson]

Perfect piece for what we needed.

how so? he is no change of pace to zeke. he's just worse at everything.

 

[Rayman70]

IGGLES made a counter move.

 

[robjay04]

Still 4.1 YPC the year before.

As I said..steady regression since his rookie season.

 

[Clarkson]

let's not mention the times dak had no weapons, especially an over-the-middle threat to lob it to 8 times a game.

I like the part about Wentz’ floor being Dak’s ceiling. That was rich.
