Brian Daboll passed the test !!! Now it's

charles355 : 1/22/2023 10:47 am
Joe Schoen's time to deliver!

Lots of major decisions! Daniel et Saquon, Love, Feliciano, Gates (and lesser ones: Slayton, Shephard, James)
cap room is good before signing anyone but it will shrink rapidly
Great draft capital
Maybe we'll see FA interests across the league after the Eagles win the SB and Kelce, Cox retired... and we can take the East once and for all!

I hate the Eagles, but them winning will help us... everybody will want to destroy them next year and I think some old will retire!

Copium

Lots and lots of copium.
Don't rationalize the Eagles winning a title

Not a single positive thing will ever come of that and rationalizing it is the kind of thing Id make fun of Eagles fans for doing. It's a lesson in stoicism. You bear it and wait for your day.
The Eagles have a piss load of picks

including 2 number ones to replace the old guard there. They will be even better next year, unfortunately.

Not exactly. They have a lot of contract stuff coming up and Hurts will need a new deal and I wouldn't be sold on him just yet either. Yesterday was more about what we lacked than just how stacked they are.

They have AJ Brown (1st rd proven NFL talent), Davonta Smith (1st rd , proven talent), Dallas Goedert (2nd RD proven NFL talent) at the skill positions for their QB to throw to.

We had (yesterday)- Rookie Daniel Bellinger, Richie James (a former 7th rd pick and cast off of the 49ers who didn't play in 2021), Isaiah Hodgins (UDFA, picked up off waivers from Buffalo where he had a grand total of 4 receptions in his career)..

Just those three skill player comparisons alone tell you all you need to know. We could do the same on the Oline where they have talent, pro-bowls and cohesion together and we have some talent (Thomas), some rookie hopeful talent (Neal- but who is truggling), Stop-gap LG (returning from a devastating injury), stop-gap Center, Lower end FA signee RG (who didn't not play well this year)...

The talent is so decidedly in their favor it is really hard to fathom.
I'm not sure

Daboll passed a test, at least not for me, not yet. I liked a lot of what I saw, but in now way is the exam over.

McAdoo was 11 - 5 his first year (better than Daboll) and how did that work out?

Fans just really want to fall in love with the coach, happened with McAdoo, Judge and now Daboll. I do also admit beyond the record, things seem different with Daboll, but I need to see next year for some seasonal improvement before I say Daboll passed a test. for me, you can jump in with both feet if you want.



I think Schoen already delivered

under difficult circumstances. Have confidence he will deliver under better circumstances this year.
What did Shoen deliver  
fanoftheteam : 1/22/2023 12:27 pm : link
On that was so promising to our future?

Its only year 1 of him. Tough to say good or bad.
Hopefully  
mdthedream : 1/22/2023 1:03 pm : link

You think year 1 was tough to say if it was good considering the circumstances and expectations before the season?
I just think Giant fans

Are in no position to come to judgement from anyones first year. Fwiw our firstvround picks were dissapointing yesterday. Yet ill reserve judgement until next ywar.

Can't even compare the two. Remember the money that was spent that year. Daboll had garbage to work with.
Schoen passed as well, in my opinion  
Matt M. : 1/22/2023 3:37 pm : link
Now, he has to have a huge off season. They need to hit a HR with the draft, where most picks either yield better picks or they can contribute in a significant factor next year. They also can't afford to missing FA, including their own players.

The Eagles aren't going anywhere with their slew of picks, including #10 and another 1st rounder. We need to ensure we can have a similar or slightly better season next year. We need to win more than one divisional game. That wil, in large part, be determined by they makeup of our roster.
