Eagles and quarterbacks

[Mr. Scot]

Second tweet cites Matt Miller though I can't find a direct quote on his Twitter. May have been from somewhere else.

The possibility of all four of the top quarterbacks being gone by pick eight seems real.

[Its The Milk]

I work with a Philly fan and he said they would burn Philly down if they drafted QB before the Wentz trade. I wonder how he feels about it now. I don’t think he has much faith in Hurts.

[SOJA]

Despite what half of the idiots on this board tell you there is still a very real chance all four QBs are gone by pick 4-5 due to trade ups. 

Panthers almost certainly HAVE to trade up to guarantee getting a QB now. 

[pantherj]

The Eagles allowing any accurate information about which player they're planning to draft to float around the world would be idiotic. Rule number one of the draft is don't let other teams know who you plan on drafting. That's why this information is bullsh!t.

If all the top four QB picks are gone then Rhule has to lay in the bed he made. He wanted Teddy. He wanted to beat Washington. He got it, and now he gets what goes along with that. Those choices had consequences, and now it's time to see what happens.

The odds of Trey Lance making it to us are pretty decent. If he doesn't, then we have a possible chance to trade down for more picks, or take a really great prospect who was passed over due to the run on QBs.

We might have to role with Rhule's TB at QB again next season. That's life. Teams make mistakes, and the fans have to endure it.

I think they roll with Hurts and bring in a solid journeyman veteran to back him up.  I doubt they go with another rookie QB.

This is the year that 50% of the teams in the NFL will have a new QB in 2021.  If they do not draft a QB at #6, and if Lance is there, they probably trade back.  Like #Soja says, and I agree, the QBs (4) could be there at #8 if there were no trades, but there will be trades.  Even if they do not trade out, NYJ, Miami, Atlanta, Philly, and Detroit all COULD take a QB.  Cincy could trade back. 

QBs that could be available after the draft:

• Garrappolo (some say Bill Belichick will have him back in NE)
• Carr (He somehow posts good numbers and they still hate him in LV--That's Gruden for ya--I don't want Carr either)
• Tua  (Beware any Bama QB--they do not know what it is like to get rushed or have to throw a WR open--or not to have a defense that gives you the ball back when you need it)
• Darnold (Sure looks like a bust.  Could the right system save his career?  The Panthers are not currently in the QB rehab business, so this is probably a pass unless NY gives him away.)
• Hurts (He could not keep his job in Bama, but having said that, I think he may have the most upside of this list)

The Eagles should give Hurts a chance. They spent a 2nd round pick on him, so for what to be a backup? I don't think so. He looked good last season in the games I saw.

Cap might make that rough.

The cap hit for trading Wentz is brutal.

[AU-panther]

You can make an argument for the Eagles to take draft a QB.

You can make an argument for the Eagles to draft a non-QB.

You can make an argument for the Eagles to trade down.

All that really matters for the Panthers is that you have to operate on the assumption that a QB could be drafted at 6.

New coach though. He has no attachment to Hurts really. He’s going to want to roll with his guy.

Heck, he was hired because he had a connection to someone who worked well with Carson Wentz.

Breer says the Eagles are gonna be looking reeeeeally hard at the top quarterbacks.

He believes drafting competition for Hurts is more likely than signing a veteran.
