Eagles debate table: Should Howie Roseman be on a hot seat?
Is it crazy to say Roseman’s career mirrors Agholor’s?
In some ways, Roseman’s career resembles that of former Eagles wide receiver Nelson Ahgholor. Sure, Agholor was one of Chip’s draft choices, but there are parallels nonetheless.
Both endured struggle early. Both seem emotional at times. Both were buried and forgotten about by a team and its fans. For Agholor, it was a fan base that was ready to officially move on in 2016 (ITI told you we should move on a year earlier). For Howie, it was that same fan base that abandoned him when Chip buried him in an equipment room.
None of us clamored for Howie to be given back his duty, but we should have. In that respect, we failed him as fans and the media, but football is a what have you done for me lately league. If everyone’s defense of Agholor was “Well, he was good in 2017 and helped us win that Super Bowl”, then, something is wrong with our thinking.

Agholor peaked at the exact same time that Roseman did in 2017. That year, everything came together for a proud franchise and a team, but the facts are the facts. At this point, there’s more to complain about with Roseman than there is to celebrate, and everyone’s defense of him can’t be “Well, he was good in 2017 and helped us win that Super Bowl”.
In a league where football is played every season, that isn’t going to cut it.
