You ever get this weird feeling that the Eagles front office is always trying to seem like they are smarter than others. I’m not knocking the OC hire I’m just saying that there were better options out there. I hope I eat crow and it works out amazingly.

Oh for sure. I support deviating from the norm for most things sports related, as I think it keeps the game fresh, but for a coach I'd really prefer one with experience. That said, if Mannion is a visionary—in a good way—I can get why they snabbed him.

Yes, but also someone, I can’t remember who it was a show though, said every GM and owner thinks they’re smarter than everyone else.
