I'm still not convinced. He's played 6 quarters in the NFL.
I'm not saying he hasn't done well in what (little) he's been asked to do, but it's still way, way too soon to draw conclusions.
If he keeps getting blasted in the torso, for example, I'd be surprised if he has many 16-game seasons in him.
Also, watch his eyes tonight. He's almost always throwing to his first option. We don't know how this guy will do going through reads when he has to, because he barely does it.
And even if he becomes a long-term starter, it doesn't necessarily say a lot about the Eagles' fortunes. Phil Rivers has been a very good quarterback, yet the Chargers haven't won shit. And Andrew Luck is a great quarterback, yet the Colts are largely shit otherwise.
What I'm trying to say is let's all continue to enjoy pissing on the Eagles. Let's not let a guy running a simple offense ruin the fun.
RE: I would've thought the time out crap was done... Â
He was the #10 pick, if thats all he can do he's a bust
I've been watching Floyd from beginning and that is not accurate. He played all three downs on the Eagles first two possessions, being pulled at the goal line for second and third down plays.
He was not on the field at all for Eagles third possession.
Acho and Houston were the OLBs for the fourth possession until Houston hurt his knee. Since then, Floyd has been playing three downs.
He didn't do much productive and it's questionable how much playing time he would be getting if not for Houston's injury. But he has not been used as a situational 3rd down rusher.
As one who was a strong naysayer of Floyd as the Giants' pick, I will give him his due (based also on preseason observation). He does have some good pass rush moves and sometimes shows surprising strength on a bull rush. He's up against a very tough opponent in Johnson tonight.
I never saw how Floyd would fit in Giants' 4-3 and still don't. If you use him as an end rusher, you'd have to move JPP or Vernon inside, taking away their best spot. And Floyd could not cover as well as Casillas and Robinson.
announcers because he'll just focus on one or two players and he'll build the majority of the commentary around those two guys. The other analysts at least try to discuss other stuff during the game. He's literally gushing over Wentz every drive. It is almost unwatchable.

Which type?
Since we know he prepares like no other and demands perfection, he will cure all forms of cancer
You going to ice the kicker on a 52 yarder before halftime?

Everytime I've had to root for the Bears, pretty much ever, it's always such a frustrating exercise. I hate this team.
This is true, and the reason is largely because they've never had a great quarterback. Unless you count Jim McMahon (I don't).
Which is fairly remarkable for a such a bedrock franchise that's been around forever.

On a tangent, was talking with a guy at work today - who played QB between Aikman and Romo? Quincy Carter was the only guy I could think of….
Holy crap, such a brain fart today. Bledsoe, Testaverde, Drew Henson, Chad Hutchinson, Anthony Wright, Clint Stoerner and RYAN LEAF!
my same exact thoughts.
I didn't say the media was out to get us, asswipe.
I said they've elevated some shitty QB's as being better than a two time SB QB.
Frankly, you understand that shit because it is backward-ass contrarian garbage.

It worked for the Broncos on Opening Night.
The Eagles have owned us .....

Did it? Seems like it never works when I'm watching.

Thanks for moving up, Chicago.
Change it up, Fangio.

I lol'd. Didn't realize Manning had that many fumbles.
How many QBs were even in the league since 2006 to now? Then ask yourself how many played every regular season game.
Well they still have Sam Bradford
