3 Philadelphia Eagles whose demotions are long overdue

Aaron Moorehead is failing the Philadelphia Eagles as the team’s WR coach.

There may not be another Eagles-centric publication that’s dedicated more time to the Aaron Moorehead watch than this one. Hey, that’s why we’re here. Somebody has to do the jobs no one else wants to sometimes.

Here’s something that you need to know. This Eagles coaching staff loves Aaron Moorehead. His players love him. From all accounts, it appears that Aaron Moorehead is a pretty cool guy. He’s someone that we’d love to get a beer with. He’s someone that you can drop your kids off with and not have to worry about whether or not they’re in good hands.

The problem with Aaron Moorehead however is this. His players don’t get better. Say what you want about Mike Groh. He was a horrible offensive coordinator, but he was a heck of a wide receivers coach. Did you see the impact that he had on Nelson Agholor?

Meanwhile, Moorehead’s stock is falling, and no one noticed. Name one wide receiver that the Eagles have employed that got better under Moorehead’s watch. You can’t do it, can you?

Now, name a wide receiver that’s teetered around average or has gotten worse. There’s Nelson Agholor, John Hightower, Greg Ward, JJ Arcega-Whiteside, and Jalen Reagor. Did you see how easy that was?

Perhaps, rather than dismiss every wide receiver by just throwing out overused statements like ‘he’s a bust’ or ‘he sucks’, maybe it’s time to point the fingers at the guys that get paid to coach them up.

Sure, DeVonta Smith is a rising star, and Quez Watkins has shown he can be a great NFL wide receiver, but frankly folks, that has to do more with Smith and Watkins’ moxie than anything Moorehead is doing. It’s time to get this guy out of here and add someone who can get the most out of this group.
