Never before has Howie’s smug attitude truly annoyed me... until the Hurts press conference. It snapped me out of my shock. Now I’m angry.

a second round pick is a tremendous price for QB insurance when you have holes everywhere on both sides of the ball. 

Half of second round picks amount to nothing in the NFL.  I wouldn't call insurance for an injury prone QB tremendous.

WRONG, it's right out of the mouth of Doug. He said Wentz and Hurts is going to be their version of Flacco/Lamar and Brees/Hill.

I don't think that quite works. 

1) Lamar was the clear successor to Flacco while Hill is the gadget guy going into his 4th year.  

2) Lamar was a first round pick.  Hill was Undrafted

3) A third reason

I see it as more motivation for him. He’s a competitor to the tenth degree 

I feel sorry for Carson. He plays great with trash last season. We fully expected Howie to get him weapons in the offseason and he does this. A backup QB when there's still a bunch of needs elsewhere

Raise your hand if this makes sense to you

It makes sense if you:

                                               A)  think your starting QB may get hurt   OR

                                               B)  think you may have to make a move at the QB position somewhere down the road

                                                                            :whistle:

F Hurts. Idc that he's an Eagle. I wish him nothing but the worst

He didn’t pick himself. That bonehead Howie screwed this up. Howie just used a 2nd round pick on at worst a gadget player or Carson’s eventual replacement. Carson would be only 30-31 at that time. Not exactly an old timer for a QB, but clearly this move indicates the Eagles do not believe in the durability of Carson.

Hey Carson, you just dragged us to a division title with your teeth. Now here is a hand grenade with the pin pulled called QB controversy.

Signed,

The guy that just gave you 100 million dollars

Man any position in the draft is a crapshoot. Seriously would you rather have this kid as a 2nd round backup or would you rather have given this pick  used that 2nd to get Lamb or even better Hopkins?

I hope it doesn’t become a problem that Wentz seems corny and, by all accounts, Hurts seems like a leader.

Howie said on his interview that they drafted Hurts because he was a great player, a "GREAT GUY," and a "GREAT PERSON."

Howie always looking for players with character that is off the charts. Character can't be taught. Cannot have too much character guys on the team.

Yes, and Hill’s gimmick only worked against us, ironically

Been stating for a while the Eagles FO just keeps sending mixed messages.

Some dude is posting anywhere and everywhere on Twitter that he thinks Wentz would pull a Luck on us and retire in a few. You’re only crazy until it happens....

I totally agree! I think it’s a horrible move, but again when I saw DP’s face after the picked I was quite shocked how happy he looked the Eagles made this move. It’s crazy to me how none of them realize they have voluntarily created a QB controversy in the very near future.
