Howie messed up by extending him, but he deserves credit for admitting his mistake and quickly moving off it. At least he was able to recoup a couple nice picks in the process. If Howie can get back to drafting well, we'll be back ontop in due time.
Howie’s drafting history has been fairly poor and the amount of terrible decisions and over reactionary, over correction garbage Howie has pulled has been astonishingly bad from both a process and results standpoint.
There are many examples but just to pick a few - liked Carson meshing with young WRs after a solid late playoff push two years ago (only made possible due to our terrible division) so decided to build around a young WR core.
Decided to not address speed in any way for years on offense when fans were clamoring for it, thinking a two tight-end offense would be feasible, or that Arcega Whiteside would be a good pick, and then decided to swing the opposite direction drafting based off a 40 times ranking list the next year.
Not taking Justin Jefferson because Reagor fit the offense better (again, due to the fact that his stupid ass pigeon holed himself into needing to pick a fast outside WR in the first round).
Trading a premium package for Darius Slay after missing on Byron Jones because he decided we needed a high caliber CB in response to the fact that we were getting beat deep a lot even though we had an above average defense for years with cheap CBs and absolutely no help from Howie’s drafting.
Multiple terrible midseason trades for players that his coaching staffs could not remotely use effectively
Jeffery extension. Elliott extension. Bad decision after bad decision.
And lmaooooooo at Donnel Pumphrey.
The man has been terrible and so bad at his job we have basically no good young players in the pipeline and are in a terrible cap position.
The lengths you go and spinzone attempts to try and criticize Hinkie for certain things, but then claim Roseman will have us in a good place, is truly astonishing. He has made a mockery of the Eagles for a few years now with his horrible mismanagement and Lurie and Howie’s seeming lack of acknowledgement of truly how bad of a job he has done was very alarming and does not give me much hope.
