[quote=CRedskinsRule;1283955]RK will have success but I doubt Philly will with Hurts at QB. Seems like he left and went to another team stuck in a quagmire. I wonder what criteria he used in decision-making.

Playing time, mostly. I don't think he had too many options in a year when salary cap was low due to COVID. In a normal year he could have had 8 offers to make a few mil, but he hit FA at the wrong time. So, of the teams who had interest, I think he chose the Eagles based on opportunity to see the field the most.

I don't know that Hurts is really that bad.. I mean is Daniel Jones really any better?

May I add it's also closest to home. He won't have to move the family.

There is a larger sample size for Jones. You pretty much know what you have at this point and can build around that.

Agreed. Hurts is still relatively unknown. We know he can run around, but as a passer we haven't seen much yet.

Yeah but that theory is sort of out the window since the Steelers were reportedly an option too.

As already pointed out, Steelers are 3-4. And Philly is 100 miles closer than Pittsburgh?

Personally I don't think he'll look as good in green rather than burgundy & gold, or even black & gold for that matter. :)

He played most of his career in a 3-4, and is 100 mi really a big deal?

Who knows what his thinking was exactly, just seems odd he went to Philly over Pitt but it's his decision.

2 hours vs. 5 hours.

Re: Ryan Kerrigan Appreciation Thread
 

[quote=Monkeydad;1284048]2 hours vs. 5 hours.[/quote]

Again not sure how that's a big enough deal breaker to make him shy away from Pittsburgh in favor of Phllly, but maybe some of you guys really don't like to drive I don't know lol

Re: Ryan Kerrigan Appreciation Thread
 

[quote=Monkeydad;1284048]2 hours vs. 5 hours.[/quote]

2 hrs from NOVa? More like 3 hrs vs 4 hrs

or an additional 5 minutes flying which is far more likely

Re: Ryan Kerrigan Appreciation Thread
 

Maybe he just thinks PHIL is a better opportunity for playing time.

Re: Ryan Kerrigan Appreciation Thread
 

Or he wants the chance to play against us more than anything else?

Re: Ryan Kerrigan Appreciation Thread
 

According to Kerrigan, he likes how Eagles rotate their Dline players.

John Keim interview with RK is worth a listen on his podcast. Really one of the good guys in the league…he will be missed

I heard that comment when I listened to Keim's podcast and I was confused. I was like yeah Schwartz rotated his defensive linemen tons, but it's a new regime. How does he know the new guys will do the same? I'm sure he asked and that's how he got comfortable. But it just struck me that Kerrigan was like if you look at how they've rotated their defensive linemen...

It's a new coaching staff in there, bro. Who cares what they did last year.
