1. Not sure where he got a reputation as a QB guru. Or that we should blindly trust him to get the QB decision right. He can get the most out of his QBs. But can he pick the right one?Fact is, outside of McNabb, they've made some spotty decisions at QB. And no, Foles has not come close to showing that theory wrong. He has to get the QB decision right and there's no guarantee he will.
2. His biggest criticism has been that he's not a good game manager, especially when the game is on the line. His team has to be good enough to overcome that
3. Reid's defense has been a mess since Jim Johnson died. His DC hire is ultra critical. Reid's teams are best when the defense can balance out the offense
4. Will we repeat mistakes of the past? Will we let Reid stubbornly stick to an "Eagles Way"? WIll we let him slide by with mediocrity, as long as we win a playoff game or two? Given how bad Pioli had to be to force a firing, I hope Hunt learned his lesson.
I am optimistic about the hire. But those are a few big red flags we need to know. Again, a lot more excited than I am worried. But not willing to give this guy a free ride. I made that dumb mistake with Pioli, admittedly.
