The Giants Suck Too

if he comes back to play at a high level its a mistake no matter how you spin it...especially so because he will be doing it to the eagles twice a year

they had a legit reason to release him...they also had a legit reason to keep him....they chose the former...it was a decision they made and one they are accountable for

Chance that Andrews was going to make a comeback for the Eagles: zero.

Go ahead, argue otherwise.

Players the Eagles should have kept:

Shawn Andrews
Donovan McNabb
Michael Westbrook
Jeremiah Trotter
Brian Dawkins
Koy Detmer
Jerome Brown
Mike Ditka

hed be playing for them right this second if they had not released him...theres really no argument against that...he was going to play for whatever team he happened to be on when healthy

to say he was never going to play for the eagles again is as speculative as it gets and really has no facts to back it up

what you can argue is that he will never stay healthy and thus wasnt worth keeping

I can argue both and sleep just fine, knowing I'm a better person and football fan than you. Suck it.

Don't forget Jerome McDougle, another first-round loser that people cried about when he went to the Giants after most of a decade worth of failure on the Eagles. I expect Andrews' success on the Giants to be similar to McDougle's.

Diomedes · August 30, 2010, 05:41:37 PM

I predict more like Corey Simon for the Colts.

QB Eagles · August 30, 2010, 05:45:13 PM

Good call. Unlike McDougle, Andrews knows how to play, and like Simon he's totally unreliable physically and mentally at this stage in his career.

Diomedes · August 30, 2010, 05:46:36 PM

Remember how morbidly fat Simon got?

QB Eagles · August 30, 2010, 05:48:10 PM

Yeah I enjoyed the season that he spent on the PUP list without any explanation whatsoever from the Colts, before the "polyarthritis" thing was eventually leaked.

ice grillin you · August 30, 2010, 05:56:19 PM

like two people cared about mcdougle leaving and he sucked from day one....hideous analogy

QB Eagles · August 30, 2010, 06:08:23 PM

phreak, you, myself, wingspan, and munson (what a horrible collection) are all on record as saying it was a mistake to cut mcdougle in '08. pretty sure phreak still thinks it was a mistake.

Remember this load of farging horseshtein?

Quote"When I came out to LA after my back issue, I had to look coach Reid in the eye and tell him I owe him," Andrews said. "It's bigger than football with me right now. If nothing else, I just wish that I could get just one more season just so I can pay coach Reid and just prove to the fans that I still have it, I still want to be a part of this organization. And for coach Reid sticking by me with my situation in 2008, and I definitely owe the city of Philadelphia so hopefully lord willing, I can get back to 100 percent and get to mashing people again."

I hope that fat motherfarger strokes out dead.

i have constantly destroyed mcdougle since the day he was picked...he sucked in college and sucked in the pros...no chance i even remotely cared that he was let go...at best i might have wanted him kept that year over reno mahe or mike gasperson but thats it

PoopyfaceMcGee · August 30, 2010, 08:19:24 PM

Andrews didn't play for two seasons, expected to sit out camp and rest his back, then get plugged in to the starting lineup here. No way the Eagles could have kept him in that situation. Meanwhile, the Giants invested next to nothing in him.

So, yes, he can be a bust/cut for the Eagles and a good player for the Giants... and still not represent any mistake in judgment by the Eagles FO. To argue otherwise is asinine, which is why many of you nimrods are doing just that. The Eagles signed his brother and traded for his college roommate, and he couldn't get in shape to play. Then the Giants sign him and THAT's a FAMILY?!? Hey, farger, the team that traded up to draft your ass says DIE DIE DIE DIE DIE.
