just goes to show in the NFL it's not what you know, it's who you blow.

The worst that can happen is he drafts horrible players, gets more pissy than Banner about players asking for money, and signs nobody in the offseason. I'm pretty sure that would get Andy fired. You know, eventually. Maybe before he needs a triple bypass.

The man. The myth. The legend.

QB Eagles

I'm more worried about him poisoning our wells.

So this is this guys first draft and Reid isn't even going to the Senior Bowl? I could understand if he was coaching the probowl again Fat

Detective roseman is on the case in a "preliminary investigation" to get two low round picks for departed free agents.

Crack the case howie! Solve the mystery of the missing sixth round picks!
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

Howie Roseman, new Eagles' general manager: I think it was smart to lock up fullback Leonard Weaver and wide receiver Jason Avant early in free agency. Why take a chance on someone trying to sign them to an offer sheet. I also think that Saints restricted free agent Mike Bell could be an excellent change-of-pace back to LeSean McCoy. The Eagles need someone who can convert in goal-line situations. The Super Bowl aside, Bell has been a solid runner at the goal-line and he could help the Eagles in other short-yardage situations. I also think Marlin Jackson was a good risk at free safety. He's a 26-year-old player coming off an ACL injury. There's certainly a risk involved, but he'll end up being a steal if he can restore order to the position opposite Quintin Mikell. And no matter who made the decision, it was time to move on without former Pro Bowler Shawn Andrews. Now we'll continue the quarterback watch. If the right deal comes along, I think Roseman will want to take a long look. With Andy Reid having final say, it's hard to know who's pulling the trigger on these deals. But from what I'm hearing, Roseman's been very assertive in his new role.

You know, as I'm sitting here thinking about this, the whole Howie Roseman charade is actually sort of brilliant.

Reid makes all, or almost all, of the personnel decisions. But he also has to coach these clowns and if he is seen as the guy dumping all of their veterans he may encounter some tough times with his players. Bring in a new puppet GM and shower praise on him for all of the smart moves he's making to re-build the team with some youth and suddenly Reid is not so much to blame as 'the new GM who wants to make his mark on the team.'

Whatever, I'm probably over-thinking this, but after a decade of Andy Reid chopping veterans from the roster, the players have to start getting a little leery of him. Seems like the Howie Roseman distraction could be used to alleviate potential player / coach conflicts.
