UNREAL: Teflon Howie Strikes Again

by Posted on

News broke during the two o’clock hour. The Eagles fired Doug Pederson.

Okay, cool. I didn’t love Doug, didn’t hate him. The season was a disaster for many reasons, including Doug. I waited for the second logical announcement. It never came. Howie Roseman, for some f*cking reason, still has a job with the Eagles.

Are you kidding me? How does this inept, incompetent guy STILL avoid being fired? He’s a genius at deflecting blame for repeated failings at the draft, in free agent signings, in contract extensions, and in supervising a medical/training staff that consistently produces more injuries than most other teams.

Howie Roseman has drafted one—ONE MORE THAN YOU AND ME—Pro Bowl player since drafting Ertz and Lane Johnson in 2013. Chip Kelly was in that room, too, in 2013. I know Roseman will leak that he had final say, but who knows for sure. I can tell you that since Chip left and Howie has had clear control over the draft beginning in 2016, he’s been abysmal.

Here are his last TWENTY-EIGHT picks:

2020
Jalen Reagor
Jalen Hurts
Davion Taylor
K’Von Wallace
Jack Driscoll
John Hightower
Shaun Bradley
Quez Watkins
Prince Tega Wanogho
Casey Toohill
2019
Andre Dillard
Miles Sanders
JJ Arcega-Whiteside
Shareef Miller
Clayton Thorson
2018
Dallas Goedert
Avonte Maddox
Josh Sweat
Matt Pryor
Jordan Mailata
2017
Derek Barnett
Sidney Jones
Rasul Douglas
Mack Hollins
Donnel Pumphrey
Shelton Gibson
Nathan Gerry
Elijah Qualls

Bill Walsh and Don Shula wouldn’t be able to win with that crew of young talent. And, yet, Howie Roseman remains.

He’s about to select his third Head Coach as GM. His third. I don’t want to hear that Lurie selected Chip or Doug. Howie is the GM. It’s on his watch. What’s that, three coaches in eight years? That’s the same amount of coaches the Steelers have had since 1969—52 YEARS!!!

Howie Roseman remaining as the GM is an insult to Eagles fans. He’s failed in all aspects of his job, aside from stepping in sh*t with a red hot Nick Foles, who seems to have been guided by Divine Inspiration in 2017-18.

The current roster stinks. They are old. There aren’t any young studs. He’s got quarterback issues. They are in contract and salary cap hell. WHAT THE F*CK AM I MISSING HERE?!!

Like Teflon, nothing sticks to Roseman. Like a cat, he’s got nine lives. God bless him. He’s found a way to convince Jeffrey Lurie that any failings are never his fault.

For some illogical, unexplainable reason, Lurie is either totally enamored with a bumbling idiot as GM or Roseman is cool cashing a check while taking the heat as Lurie makes the horrendous picks, as people have suspected with JJ Arcega-Whiteside.

Just when you thought John Middleton had Worst Owner in the City locked up, Lurie says, “hold my kombucha.”

Chip Kelly was an unlikable figure while he was here. But, he got one thing correct. Howie Roseman needs to be put in the closet farthest away from the Football Operations Department.

E-A-G….nah, screw that. 10-9-8-76ers!
