Eagles Tank this week to hurt Giants?

coult44 · Monday at 11:05 PM

Adam Schefter thinks The Eagles should not let Barkley get the record, and lose on purpose to the Giants. Why? So that the Giants would not get a chance to draft a top tier QB.

This is next level stuff and should make a lot of you “tankers” happy…

That would be a dumb idea, and if they did that then the eagles will never win another SB at least until another 50yrs pass again

Since there's no Payton Manning or John Elway in this draft it don't matter if they pick 1st or 2nd.
Sanders or Cam Ward will be a Giant next season.

This might be the worst draft to have the number 1 pick since the Blake Bortles draft.

2013 was pretty bad. Chiefs took Eric Fischer first overall.

The rest of it stunk as well. Travis Frederick may have been the best player in that whole draft.

This is why you’ve gotta at least try in free agency if you expect to get better.

I like Shefty, but this is pure stupid.

Yeah we don't even know if the Giants like either quarterback

Tanking, it’s an ugly word, in football
It’s never never the smart move. It will come back to haunt you.
The media has turned into a joke.

Depending on the seeding potential, the Eagles may not play their starters against the Giants. Besides, we want the Giants to pick a QB high in this draft. Make them waste their pick.

Your players out there fighting for their careers in the last thing they worry about is a draft pick

Actually a team did this to the Giants back in the late 80s. They clearly lost the last game of the season just so the Giants didn't make the playoffs. They played their starters. But their starters didn't play, if you know what I mean.

Their fans are clamoring for a QB. These Giants fans would riot if they traded back. Even though I think that would be the smart move.

The Giants are so bad, it might be difficult to lose to them on purpose.

I think they'll make a run at Darnold in the offseason.

But the last thing they want to do is overdraft just for the sake of drafting one. I would consider signing a vet as a bridge and wait until 2026 draft. That way you can focus on trading down and upgrading other positions.

Funny you say that because I read a couple of nuggets that they may consider him. He certainly better than any quarterback in the draft

He probably just said it for clicks. He knows they wouldn't actually do that.

This is the problem with media these days. It's all about hot takes and saying what will generate the most buzz.

It ended up starting a new thread here on cowboys zone. Mission accomplished I guess

fivetwos · 2024-12-24T07:58:52-0600

If the Giants sign Darnold and draft Hunter to pair with Nabers, Jerry and his act is staring directly at last place in the division after what’s bound to be another disaster of an off-season.

Runwildboys · 2024-12-24T08:01:43-0600

I doubt very much that the Eagles are worried about the Giants, with or without the first pick.

That's a moronic statement. HFA isn't totally out of the picture. Any HC that is even thinking about things like that at this point is an idiot...well, actually...

nobody · 2024-12-24T08:15:22-0600

Isn't it a very weak QB draft? Let the Giants have it. It probably won't save them.
