I have zero ill will toward either guy. I absolutely did NOT want to trade for Sam Darnold and he was as terrible as I expected him to be but he honestly seems like a legitimately good dude. Baker ended up traded to somewhere he very likely did not want to go and played for a clown show of a staff but seemed like he tried to make the best of it and never bitched.

This Eagles OL is just crazy. I bet Hurts held that ball for five seconds just staring down the same receiver until he came open

I honestly thought it was smart player management not to throw Bryce back out there on the road to Seattle on a short week. With the way the OL played I honestly don't think it would've gone well at all.

Mike Evans has not been good tonight. Failing to come down with some catchable balls. That one would've been 6.

I just think he runs very hot or cold. When he's good he's great but when he's bad he's terrible.

I tuned into that one game he played his final year before COVID shut them down and came away thinking that this guy is basically a poor man's The Golden Calf of Bristol.

The Eagles are just dominating the trenches on both sides of the ball. If Hurts was hitting throws they'd be up 14-0. He's honestly been terrible so far tonight.

Yep. He was drafted for his physical talent and what he could potentially be molded into... but he has a ten cent head.

The Eagles' OL is blasting massive holes through the Bucs' D. Good grief. Any NFL caliber RB is going to put up great numbers in this offense.

Big punt return with TB out kicking their coverage

Eagles D is all over TB. Does not bode well for my boy next week given their issues.

I was warned by my Eagles fan buddy that he was nothing special and a product of the Eagles' OL. I was hoping it was just sour grapes. Doesn't seem like it.

Bryce, Stroud, and Richardson are all forever linked. Just the way it is for a draft class. Especially with three QBs taken in the first four picks. For all those who think I'm so down on Bryce and want him to fail, I said many times prior to the draft that I was fine with Young, Stroud, or Richardson and that my personal choice would be Richardson. But if we'd drafted AR and he failed to finish his first two games and missed his third I'd be borderline freaking out about his durability give the way he's likely going to need to play.

Bucs stand up on 4th though. Hurts just made a bad throw on 3rd down. If he puts that ball at the pylon it was an easy TD.

I've seen so much bad OL play watching the Panthers and Commanders that Philly's OL is pretty shocking to see. Blowing the DL off the ball in the running game and Hurts is standing back there doing his taxes in the pocket.

I've seen people talk about IF Bryce is a bust but I honestly haven't seen anyone flat out calling him a bust. Then again I would've probably just scrolled right past it if I had. We don't know what Bryce is going to be after only two games. All we can really discuss is what he's shown so far. Everything beyond that is just speculation.

Evans with a drop to send the Bucs 3 and out. Baker could've made a little better throw but it was plenty catchable and a ball Evans catches 9 times out of 10.

Where has anyone called him a bust? I've legitimately not seen it. Some folks are just reacting like discussing about his subpar play is akin to slander and it's honestly just absurd.

He has looked really bad this year. I think that injury is way worse than they've let on. It really doesn't seem like trying to play him through it is benefitting anyone.

However you need to cope. If you need a villain I'm here for it.

Should we make a thread of nothing but Bryce positivity and pin it? I'm not joking. The folks who only want to see that should have a place for it.

I don't hate the kid. I want him to be great. It's okay to talk about what we've seen so far.

Howell has looked good in two games and bad in one game. Bryce has looked bad in two games and good in zero. It is what it is. Just ignore the actual statistical facts I've talked about.

It looked to me like he was hesitating and second guessing everything. I don't know if he's hesitating because he's questioning his reads or hesitating because he's questioning his ability to make the throws.

I don't know why this is so hard to grasp. We'd all be celebrating if he was playing great. The reality is that he hasn't been. It is what it is. Hopefully he improves.
