First of all, Sudfeld has been with the Eagles for 4 years. You're not going to learn anything about him in 1 quarter of regular season action that you don't already know. There's far, far more value in letting Hurts grow and play in that situation than anything you're going to get out of playing Sudfeld. As far as Hurts' stats for the game, that doesn't carry much relevance to me because it implies that Sudfeld gave the team the best chance to win at that point, which we all know isn't true. If it was a game in which Wentz was active and they turned to him I guess you could make the case for the "we went to Wentz because Hurts was struggling and we were trying to win the game", but not Sudfeld. And while Hurts wasn't having a great statistical game, he was doing some damage on the ground which was helping keep them in the game. Washington has one of the best defenses in the NFL. It was a tough matchup and good developmental opportunity. And while yes, Philadelphia is free to pursue their best interests, and no, I don't feel "sorry" for the Giants, their best interests are more complex than their draft position. Yes, in a vacuum it is better for the Eagles to pick 6th rather than 9th, but there's far more to it than that. Think Pederson lost some of the respect of his team last night? These players are competitors. It means something to them, even if it doesn't mean something to Doug. They don't want Washington winning the division on their turf, on their watch, and they went out and competed like it meant something to them. Then Pederson with one move showed them that it didn't matter to him. Think they are going to want to play hard for him the first time they face adversity next season? Think something like that might make a free agent think twice for playing for a guy like him? It is not a game of Madden and there is likely to be residual damage caused from last night that is more harmful than picking 3 spots lower.
