The Eagles have some good players, but it seems they aren't necessarily the toughest guys. Is it true that Carson Wentz self reported his concussion? Guys like Jim McMahon or Brett Favre never would have done that! They had more starters finish the season on IR than they had finish the season.
Watching the 49ers and seeing John Lynch up there in the booth. And seeing the Ravens built by Ozzie Newsome. It makes me think that smarts and analytics aren't good enough to build a football team. You need a guy calling the shots that is not just smart but truly understands what it takes to be a tough football player.
As an Eagle, they didn't come any tougher than John Runyan. 14 years in the NFL at one of the most physical positions and I don't recall if he ever missed a game. Then he runs for and wins a congressional seat. And now we is a VP in the NFL offices. Seems to me that he has the toughs, smarts and connections needed to run an NFL franchise. Runyan is the sort of man the Eagles need.
Go get him Jeff!!
