But the season ticket holders keep this franchise in this city and I have no problem with anybody in that group [BLEEP] and complaining about it. They have every right. More so than I do.

My only concern with Foles being here is that it's not so much as him. But who he has to work with around here on offense is a concern. It's rare that you'll see one draft class fix or change everything in one year. So even if the FO manages to land four quality starters on offense to assist Foles it'll still be a work in progress. This isn't Madden where you can draft studs in every round or trick the system into giving you future draft picks for crappy picks the year before. Takes time, patience.

The Eagles from top down on offense are a much better football team. Doug Pederson is a much better offensive play caller and seems to have a better feel for the game in general. We don't have a Jason Peters, Lane Johnson or Jason Kelce on this team.

They have suffered through some injuries up there along the trenches but we're nearly guaranteed to see Linder miss a few games here and there due to various injuries. Robinson coming back off an ACL is a tall order for a man of his size. Parnell is gone. And that RG spot has been up and down for awhile. And Norwell? IDK. We'll have to see if he steps it up in 2019. Right off the top of my head though I can tell you this team will need a tall, go up and get it type WR on the outside. And we'll need either an above average athlete at TE or a pair of TE's that can nickel and dime a defense over the middle.

I think Westbrook and Lee can offer Foles some good targets here and there. But this offense will not operate smoothly nor consistently without viable weapons at the TE position. If they don't walk out of this draft with at least one of the top five TE prospects it'll be a long year for Foles. Hear me now. Believe me later.

This is my problem with the signing precisely and exactly why I think it is a waste.  I can't see any way they make the playoffs this year.  I would have much rather seen them draft a rookie and (theoretically) have him develop along with the rest of the draft picks and whatever other players they picked up via FA to fill in the offensive line.
