More Whining from Westbrook

[ice grillin you]

What you farging morons can't seem to grasp is the Eagles made Westbrook a very fair offer yet he chose not to sign it

fair to who??

just because the eagles deem it fair does not make it so

you really get upset when somebody critices your front office don't you?

its almost frightening isnt it

What you farging morons can't seem to grasp is the Eagles made Westbrook a very fair offer yet he chose not to sign it.

Therefore, from their perspective, they would be over-paying for him if they increased the contract offer and the Eagles simply don't do that.

If that upsets you, try sucking on a binky and curling up with your favorite blanky because the Eagles simply are not going to change their philosophy on paying players exactly what they think they're worth.

I don't get upset about the contract squabbles of millionaires & billionaires.  In fact, I don't get upset about much of anything when it concerns the NFL.   If the Eagles win, I'm happy.  If they lose, I'm pissed off.  It's pretty simple.

Apples to apples would be Westbrook to D. Davis, and those deals are comparable

are you kidding...a davis type back is a dime a dozen...hes a perfect example of why you dont spend a high pick on a rb or pay thru the roof for one...theres five backs in every draft that can do what davis does...westbrook on the other hand is a special player...yes hes perfect for the eagles system but thats why the eagles need to pay him more than someone like davis...

not to mention whos to tell westbrook that he couldnt carry the ball 20-25 times a game...thats just something teams throw out there so they dont have to pay someone as much as they should...

That's bullshtein.  I've been a supporter of Westbrook since people were crying for more of Buckhalter...so I understand what he can do.  But Davis is the same kind of back; and if you want to look at the stats, one could argue he's been more productive.  Stats don't tell the whole story though.  But if Davis were here, he'd be the same sort of back...and there's not a doubt in my mind about that.  Westbrook is very good...but let's not get carried away.  It's not like he's a guy who's going to run to get you those two yards you need on 3rd and 2.  He's a piece of the puzzle, and he's good at what he does.  He deserves to be paid...but the money he's been offered is good money for what he brings to the table.

i think the fact that you need to insult anyone who disagrees with you shows that you get a tad defensive when somebody questions the Eagles.

I believe I just had several agreement orgasms. Gross.

did somebody here have the nerve to insult cap room?

[Zanshin]

There's a party in my logic and everyone is coming.

[ice grillin you]

you clearly have an agenda against athletes who want to be paid...which is better than being a front office whore...but still you dont count in these discussions

[hunt]

dom davis would put up tomlinson-like numbers in this offense.

kinda looks like they just rehashed old news for this article.

Excuse me but do you have anything of substance to offer to this discussion?

Care to discuss the merits/shortcomings of Westbrook?

Because if not you're just jerking yourself off at everyone else's expense here.

I wouldn't call it an agenda, but I do find athletes' demands and pissing and moaning and crying to the media about whether they make $16 million or $18 million to play a game for a living repulsive. Hearing them whine as though anyone should care or feel bad for them makes my skin crawl.
