Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
P.S. I bet you didn't know Steven Still played for the Browns either.

The 2020 NFC East is going to get the playoff rule changed so division champs don't automatically get in. I can only imagine the rage when a 9 win team misses the playoffs so a 5 win NFC East champ can get in. Read an article today that the only good unit in the whole division is the Cowboys offense.

It's happened before and it's completely cyclical. I'd leave it alone before you have unintended consequences make it worse.

Eagles Rumors: Jalen Hurts to Have Competition for Starting QB After Wentz Trade
With the Philadelphia Eagles reportedly trading Carson Wentz to the Indianapolis Colts on Thursday, per ESPN's Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen, Jalen Hurts becomes the prohibitive favorite to serve as their starting quarterback next season.
But he should have some competition. Per that story, "the Eagles are likely to turn to Hurts, though they also intend to bring in competition for him. The Eagles' starting job is not expected to automatically go to Hurts."

Taking a quarterback with the No. 6 overall pick would create another quarterback controversy in Philly, though it would also give the team two young and cheap quarterbacks and a future trade chip.
Adding an experienced backup is the other option. There will be some interesting potential free agents worth exploring in that regard, including Jacoby Brissett, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Tyrod Taylor, Andy Dalton, Cam Newton, Joe Flacco and Jameis Winston.
Signing one of those players to a one-year deal would make sense. The Eagles are probably looking at a rebuilding year in 2021, given the enormous dead-cap hit ($33.8 million) they are facing for trading Wentz. They can take next season to evaluate Hurts and decide if he's the future at the position; if he isn't, they can hand the reins to a veteran on a short-term deal.
That would allow the Eagles to circle back to the quarterback position in the 2022 draft, in which they currently have all of their own picks and have a conditional 2022 second-round pick from the Colts that will become a first-rounder if Wentz plays 75 percent of the snaps for Indy next year or plays 70 percent of the snaps and the team makes the playoffs.
Going into the 2022 draft with two first-rounders would give the Eagles solid assets to move up in the draft if they fall in love with a particular quarterback. And if Hurts plays well next season, it gives them the chance to upgrade at two other positions.
