Quote from: MightyGiants on May 04, 2024, 10:09:05 AMDid you see what Barkley was paid?Yep. There was absolutely a market for Barkley. Not trading him during the season seemed odd. In hindsight it looks even worse.

Quote from: Stringer Bell on May 04, 2024, 10:07:54 AMThe assumption that there was a willing trade partner looking to trade draft assets for an oft-injured RB on an expiring contract is not a good one.
Quote from: MightyGiants on May 04, 2024, 07:10:57 AMThis! it's not just who a team loses but who the team signs. That's why the Giants would have been far better-served trading Saquan and McKinney last season at the deadline than letting them walk.

Quote from: MightyGiants on May 04, 2024, 08:46:22 AMYes, but it's frustrating to hear fans talk like Jones has been put in a normal NFL QB situation. Jones has had shortcomings; like any QB (potentially more), Jones has shortcomings. It's just frustrating that some fans seem not to acknowledge the terrible (and it's really been some of the worst in the NFL) support he has received in his NFL career.
Quote from: kingm56 on May 04, 2024, 09:27:27 AMThe better question: How can you have a quality conversation when the opposing viewpoint reframes aggregate responses to benefit thier position? Pray Tell, show me where the "Jones Critics" dismissed his 'brilliance.' Indeed, DJ's had some wonderful games/movements. However, that's not the majority point. The point was, and still is, a lot of professional QBs have moments of brilliance, especially QBs with 60 starts. However, you chose to completely ignore that point, presumably because you don't have a good response; thus, you simply reframed the oppositions' position to give yourself the moral and intellectual high-ground.
Quote from: MightyGiants on May 04, 2024, 09:20:35 AMMatt,
I am confused. The expectation for the Eagles (and this seemed to be a strong consensus) was that they would be returning to the Super Bowl. How does putting up 11 wins (and making the playoffs) while suffering an embarrassing end-of-season loss to the Giants and immediately getting booted from the playoffs in a butt-kicking by the Bucs suggest the Eagles met expectations?
