It is great to see Will Shipley finally land on a team where the fans

will give him a fair shot. Too many times on Tnet he received multiple criticisms after a loss for mistakes that he made. Fortunately he will not have this problem in Philly, say if he were to fumble on the goal line vs the Giants with the playoffs on the line, I imagine Eagles fans will be far more supportive than Tnet.

I have never been to Philadelphia, but they call it The City of Brotherly Love. I would imagine they would be more understanding about fumbles near the EZ.

Philly used too be a very good place...my Grandparents owned a home
in German town and in the 50's it was much different..4th of July
parades that came down their street was exciting.I haven't been back
since 1958...grand parents home is in a neighborhood now that would
make them turn over in their graves.

I grew up in that area, no stranger to hearing gun fire in Camden, or getting my car broken into in Philly over change for the bridge, back when you only needed change for the bridge.

Camden is supposedly a beautiful town. I was thinking of getting a summer home there. I like to play craps in the summer

Why would he stay when Clemson fans hate him? Mafah seems to get a pass for his blunder in the 2022 South Carolina game. Shipley gets no such grace for any mistake, even though he was the heart and soul of the team the past 3 years.

Yep, they'll toast him if he isn't perfect. And I don't mean a drink toast . But you have to understand, they have a lot of pressure driving home from work on the Schuylkill everyday. pretty much a major accident and fire every workday

Were you one of the ones saying Shipley would not get drafted? Seriously the hate for this kid is dumb. Kid was one of the only bright spots on Clemsons offense during his time on campus. He and Mafah pretty much the only bright spots for 2 years.

well, he did fumble away 3 games, I made no predictions, I really had no idea where he would go, just that he would get a shot somewhere.

Which 3 games did Shipley fumble away? Unless it's the last play of the game odds are 1 play did not cost the team a game, agree or disagree?

agree, somebody's else's fumble could have lost us in those 3 overtime games. But if it was not the turf monster, or dropping an easy catch, it was the 3 fumbles inside the 5. There is no denying his talent and passion for the game, it was just frustrating at times.

Cost us in the Pitt game bumbling a wide open pass that I believe change the momentum in that game.
You want 3 yards give it to Mafah. Never understood how he was 2nd behind Ship. Mafah would be further along had he had more carries.

The conclusion that one play cost you the game is a delusion.
Jun 11, 2024, 5:13 AM

Our HC's philosophy is that any play not executed properly can cost you the game. Any objective person can see that. Superficial understanding is what makes fans delusional.
THE END!

I grew up in the Philadelphia area (then went to Clemson). Clemson fans and Philadelphia sports fans are alike in that they are fanatical about their teams. Philadelphia has some of the most passionate fans anywhere in the world. Are they a bunch of A holes...no. Well, maybe to fans of opposing teams. Very much the opposite of Clemson fans in that regard. At the end of the day, Brian Dawkins is one of the most beloved athletes in Philadelphia history. Shipley has an outstanding opportunity to play for a great team in a great sports town. If Shipley simply gives 100% effort, the fans will support him no matter what.

He has been well received and will be utilized in varied situations this coming season with success. The Eagles rejuvenated coaching staff will work to his advantage and the Eagles will used him very appropriately in their scheming to keep teams on edge! Look for great things from him in his rookie season!

A blue collar hard nosed back like Will will probably face the disdain of the wine and cheese crowd that make up the bulk of Iggle fans.
For Will, the saving grace is the ability to frolic freely late at night and into the early morning hours in lovely West Philly.

Reporting is that he struggled early but finished strong in OTA's. I hope he does well and learns how to not drop the ball. It's a love hate thing in football is it not? I remember when DJ was quarterback and we called him the only bright spot on the offense. A few critical fumbles later and...
