Serious question. I like what Butch is doing with our program, don't get me wrong. But I honestly feel like Dooley ran a more smash mouth style and gameplan. I think ultimately we could have been more successful under his regime if he was given 2 more years. Does anyone agree with this logic based on his smashmouth gameplan and style of offense?
You don't spend the number 2 overall pick on a guy you hope can come in and win the starting job. You either take an instant starter at a position of need or you trade down. The Eagles offered Fletcher Cox, Mychal Kendricks, Brandon Boykin, a 3rd round pick, and more for the 2nd pick and we turned it down. That's just a dumb move by the Titans. Taking Mariota is not gonna build this team. Taking that trade with Philly would.
P.S. I'm also a huge Cowboys fan so seeing the Eagles sell the farm for one player would've been great.
Whisenhunt said the plan is for him to start from day one. All you hating on Mariota would rather roll the dice with Mettensucker? Mariota has elite potential.
