Even with one less reception (9 v. 8), Backpack Mack has 69 more yards than every 2017 1st Round WR combined

Stats/Rankings

Corey Davis, John Ross, and Mike Williams have all been injured, and combine for 7 games played (2, 2, 3, respectively). Edit: Gonna bold that for the people who just don't want to read the post and comment anyway.

Mack has obviously played 8 games.

9 first round picks for what? I am behind sorry. Ha. Someone school me Barnett is from the Bradford Trade and I guess Mack is also. ? But I dont get the 9 (sorry)

KeepSwingingWarson Centz•

lol, I'm just mocking dallas fans. The year that they drafted randy gregory (once thought of a high prospect) in the 2nd round, and got la'el collins as an undrafted free agent (also once thought of a high prospect) they kept babbling about basically having 3 first round picks that year.

Also Timmy Jernigan

Edit: Jim schwartz referred to him as "another first round pick" in a presser during camp

Kind of cherry picked...JJSS is tearing it up for Pittsburgh.

72
willashmanOP•

Yeah, because including a statistical outlier isn't cherry picking.

But, ok, how about this:

Only 3 of the 13 WRs chosen before have more yards than Mack: JuJu, Kupp, and Taylor.

43

That's a better statistic - it shows that we got a high value pick as opposed to pointing out that Mack Hollins has more yards than three other receivers with major injuries.

I mean you may as well say that he has more yards than Allen Robinson, Julian Edelman, Cameron Meredith, and Corey Coleman combined...

Gastrorrhexis•

But he does!

htpurdum•

LOL. Better statistic?

One's cherry picking and the other isn't?

You do realize they literally have the same amount of parameters right?

The former includes three players who are all hurt. The latter includes the entire draft class, injured and non-injured, which takes all aspects of measurement, including injuries, into consideration with a larger sample size. Typically cherry picked stats involve small sample sizes.

It's still cherry picked because Corey Davis and Mike Williams have been injured for most of the year. Pretty pointless post

1
willashmanOP•

If they can’t stay on the field to produce, that’s their problem. Mack is staying healthy, and producing on the field, and that’s what matters. This post is just pointing out that they are being outproduced by Mack.

Don’t think you know what cherry picking is

4
LongJohnErd•

That's the stupidest argument ever. Williams and Davis didn't get injured because they were weak or non durable. It was bad luck. Just admit that you made a bad post and move on.

George_Green•

See now even that is impressive for a guy we figured was going to contribute...pretty much nothing

1
BearyPottersproles squirting through holes•

I wouldn't say it's cherry picking to say he's outperforming all of the 1st rounders from the draft collectively. Juju is playing really well and that means he was a great value too, not that Mack-10 isnt.

Turning out to be a nice 2nd day draft find. Probably will allow us to part ways with Smith at the end of the season and get Mack more involved going forward. For now, its pretty awesome to have this guy produce off the bench.

copperbacalaGet well soon Franchy!•

Yes - Torrey's speed and route running has openned up the field, but he has 0 dead money next year and cutting him free's up $5 Million in Cap Space. And.. We have a lot of players to re-sign.

Unless he shows up big in the back half of the season and/or playoffs he is porbably gone, or a major restructure.

So outside of Olinemen and RB what position should the Eagles be looking for in 2018 draft? If most of the roster stays the same.

3
SkibibblesDILLY DILLY•

BPA always. It's how we got Barnett

13
NomadFiresillyboy•

In the first round for sure, or move back and get more picks. Later rounds we need to identify players.

3
The1WhoKnocks-WWFor Who? For What? •

I agree. Im in favor of moving back to aquire picks, or trading for higher future picks. If we can get a deal where we pick late 20s or 30s and can get a next year's 1st from a team with a high pick, you gotta do that.

2

Linebacker. Absolutely need top tier depth at linebacker.

You can never be strong enough at cornerback.

Patrick Robinson is also 30 and in concussion protocol. If they are going to extend him it will hopefully be no more than a two years deal.

Recamen<- Wanted: Dead or Alive•

TE might be nice. Celek won't last forever, and TBD if Burton sticks around after this year.

3
copperbacalaGet well soon Franchy!•

OT or DT with our first, if there isn't someone there that they absolutely love they will trade back into the second.

1
BearyPottersproles squirting through holes•

Linebacker for depth and a decent slot corner would be good. OL depth is also a must with Kelce probably gone after this season.

Lmao how can you just not include JuJu? Also every WR on your list has missed time due to injury.

-7
willashmanOP•

Yeah, I mentioned injuries in the post. I was comparing Mack to the top 3 prospects at his position. And two of those receivers missed time because of injuries sustained during this current season. You can't just ignore them because they got injured this year. Durability matters.
