Pickett To Eagles

[Eich]

I said a few days ago I thought Pickett?s attitude at the end of last season may have raised eyebrows within the organization. Obviously it did.

I've read a few articles lately that have said just that. It's a bit ironic though, that the guy that replaces Pickett is known to have quite the attitude and was twice paid a large sum of money to go away.

Back in October, if someone had told me that by March, Mitch Trubisky would be axed, Rudolph would be gone in free agency and Pickett would be traded, I would have told that person he was NUTZ.

What a crazy off season.

Don't know, I just have a feeling they are going to get him.

I hope not.

Don’t they have to immediately decide on his 5th year option which would be 25.6 million guaranteed?

No, they don't. But if they don't pick it up, he's a free agent after the season. Maybe let him watch Russ, if they don't keep him give Fields a good 1-year prove it deal.

Big gamble with 25.6 million dollars. Unless we get him on the cheap and don’t pick up his option. Then he is ours for 1 year.

Anybody now think we MIGHT take a flier on a QB day 2 if one drops?

Speculation. Did Kenny go HOSTAGE behind the scenes and was REWARDED by yes going to a contender but without a PRAYER of starting?

Weren’t you the one that told me I should leave the board for stating the Steelers might draft a qb in round 1 or 2 this year? That it wasn’t a possibility they would give up on Pickett this soon?

I don’t recall saying that but I guess it’s possible. However, it doesn’t sound like something I’d say.

I liked the kid’s moxie and work ethic but it was obvious he didn’t have it. Mason came in from 3 years bench rot and ignited this offense. Maybe it wasn’t all on Canada after all.

If they didn't trade him for the best return, Omar should be fired.

I think the return tells us the league wasn't that interested.

This trade seemed pretty abrupt tbh especially given the team has just 1 QB on the roster now. It also sort of doesn't make sense that the Eagles would be the team giving the best return when you factor in the QB situation currently in the NFC. But maybe idk, like I said I wouldn't be surprised if Eagles end up trading him to another team.

Anyone else think about how last year Kahn wasn’t happy with inside linebacker play so he got rid off all 3 on the roster? This year it’s the QB position.

I wonder if Mason would have stayed to backup Russ if KP was a little b earlier and demanded a trade.

At least he’s going to his hometown team living out his childhood dream.

[LPMAN]

I've been pleasantly surprised with Khan over the past two offseasons. He has been aggressive about filling holes in the roster and while he came from within the organization, it gives me some confidence that he was indeed the best guy for the job and not just the continuity hire with an inside track to the job.

Kahn is not playing petty politics. His job is on the line if he makes bad choices. KP not having a chance to start has nothing to do with it. I think you nailed it - the interest was not there.

[Captain Lemming]

Same reason I told you at the time

He's the only guy under contract.

And what did Tomlin say. He's QB1. Same as he was when he was benched for Mason.

And word 4 or 5 in that sentence was BUT.

If you were trying to do more than slam the FO, I think you might have seen that more clearly

And now that they took the big swing like you wanted, you slam the messaging (that was clearly part true part ego massaging).

If you hear Wilson talk, it also sounds like there were lots of high profile players lobbying for him to come. I think Kenny lost the faith of the D and the WRs.

Almost like they Tomlin/Khan came to this forum and said HEY LETS CHANGE COURSE LISTEN TO THIS WINDY CITY DUDE.

Are we really upset for Kenny or because the KEEP MAKING IT SO STINKIN HARD to complain.

I GOT ONE. They didnt do what I said they were gonna do but did what I wanted instead. They DID NOT stay the course and start the QB I don’t want and made that poor baby sad. Instead they are committed to a guy I LIKE instead of a fake competition that (preseason beast) Kenny would win only to start Russ.

CRUEL LIARS.
