Every one of the 2022, 2023 & 2024 Eagles draft picks are currently on the team. Not a clunker in the bunch..
I wasn't talking about draft picks, but players they picked up on free agency.
The reality is if you're human, no one is immune to making a mistake.
Thing is, since the eagles won the superbowl, no one looks at their free agency mistakes, they look at what they did right.
Look at Jerry who plays it safe because IMO he doesn't want to put the time and work in and look at everyone in the draft and free agency (because he's both the general manager AND owner), and he (Jerry) gets crucified because even though they have a winning season, he can't get his team over the hump to make a run in the playoffs.
Two teams blown out in the first round playoffs (eagles and cowboys), and two different approaches to get "over the hump" to make a long run to the superbowl.
Thing is, it takes more risk and money IMO to get over the hump, and I'm certain Jerry is afraid to take those risks (why I have no clue because he or the team isn't lacking for money to spend on players), and it's shown over the last 20 plus years per the cowboys.
They (cowboys) win, but that can't make a run for the superbowl because Jerry has the most valuable team in the NFL.
If I were Jerry's son, I'd ask him how much are you will to lose to invest more into your team to win the superbowl, and if you won the superbowl, how much more valuable would your team be? I'd think that alone would be worth the investment.
Laurie of the eagles has it right... he pays someone smarter than himself to run the business LOL
