Sure the talent level is night and day. T.O. is truely a gifted athlete and can bring instant legitamacy for any team's offense.
On the other hand.
Ryan Leaf destroyed the San Diego Chargers. There has never been an athlete that had as much promise for the Bolts than he. The Bolts mortgaged their future on him and the most fans belived he could be the second coming of Fouts. He left the team after his antics in total destruction.
T.O. is doing the same thing. The Eagles and their fans are paying for bringing in a 'savior'. T.O. has the same 'all about me' personality that Leaf had. T.O. will leave the team with absolutely no WR threat and hopes could be dashed again for an NFC Championship. I feel bad for the Eagles in that their team has been destroyed by a selfish prick in basically the same way Leaf did to the Bolts.
Luckilly for Eagles fans the team only paid in cash and not draft picks as well. I feel for you Eagle Nation. We have been down your road before.
Um, TO isn't destroying the Eagles. Nice try though. ::)
I just had to add, that this was clearly one of the dumbest posts on this forum throughout this entire TO debacle and I wish the "know it alls" from the other teams would just stay where they are and worry about their own issues threatening to ruin THEIR season (star TE holding out....possible QB controversy)
:-D
Ouch ;D
That hurt. I'm just saying I feel your pain brothas. You're right--a total outsiders perspective. From the outside it looks like you may not have a WR corp this year. I know, everyone wants to paint a rosy picture without TO, but... The Eagles are a great organisation and will obviously be a contender this year. It'd just be a hell of a lot easier with him than without him. Teams could in theory stack up to stop Westbrook and worry about you wide outs second.
On a side note--I personally want the Eagles to take it to the house this year. I can't stomache the rest of your division. The Bolts will do their part on opening day shooting down Dallas and making them 0-1.
Late.
Uh dude, we made it to 3 straight NFC Championship games with James Thrash and Todd Pinkston as our starters.
We'll be fine with Greg Lewis and Veteran to be named later. IT's ashame Pinkston got hurt, he'd come in handy right now.
I appreciate the gesture man... but there's been a "savior" on this team since 1999. His name is Donovan McNabb.
TO was brought here to be another piece of the puzzle.
