Random Eagles Information Still Not Worthy of a New Thread

[Eagles_Legendz]

Agholor isn't a number one receiver yet but his talent jumps off the screen at me.  Much more dynamic from what I can tell than Maclin or Matthews (doesn't mean he's as good as either but I have not been disappointed with him so far).

[ice grillin you]

well obviously he sucks

there are a handful of classic textbook homer reactions.....this is one.....and lately you have been the king of them

only a homer takes a factually accurate statement about a rookie in the preseason and loses his/her mind over it to the point of extrapolating the comment out to mean that i think he sucks

Pass-Rusher Paid to Blossom in a Bigger Role Who Delivers

2014: Everson Griffen, Vikings
2015: Brandon Graham, Eagles

With the league heading more and more toward pass-happy attacks, and defensive coordinators asking their rushers to win one-on-one from different spots, young talents who can serve as cornerstones are wildly valuable properties. It's how a player like Griffen can get $19.8 million guaranteed after making just one start during his first four seasons in the league. The Vikings were willing to gamble that Griffen's production would increase with more snaps, and that's exactly what happened; he recorded a career-high 12 sacks in his first season as a starter.

The Eagles let Graham hit free agency, but after moving on from Trent Cole, they weren't willing to let Graham actually leave. He ended up agreeing to a four-year, $26 million deal with $13 million in guarantees, impressive figures for a player with just 17 sacks across his first five seasons. Graham should finally get his chance to start this season after doing it just once in 2014 — and the longtime Grantland NFL Podcast favorite should be able to push toward a double-digit total as one of Philadelphia's primary pass-rushers in 2015.

The Injury-Riddled Player Who Finally Stays Healthy and Breaks Out

2014: DeMarco Murray, Cowboys
2015: Sam Bradford, Eagles

Let's stay with the Eagles. After missing 11 of his first 48 pro games with various maladies, it was easy for folks to write DeMarco Murray off as a perennial injury risk. Murray will always have more injury concerns than the typical back, but he was able to stay on the field for 16 starts last year and delivered his best season as a pro by a comfortable margin, running for 1,845 yards and 13 scores. It would be dangerous to expect that again given Murray's track record, but one healthy1 season in four is a lot better than zero in three.

Now, there will be plenty of people wondering the same thing about Murray's new teammate. Bradford has missed the better part of two seasons with a pair of torn ACLs, but he's been traded to Philadelphia and has spent months working with quarterback wizard and sports-science enthusiast Chip Kelly. While preseason performance holds virtually no value in projecting how a player will perform in the future, Bradford hasn't broken down and reinjured the knee, which is, you know, a good sign. Athletically, he looks just fine.

There will still be concerns about Bradford when the season starts. His still-developing offensive line will need to coalesce and keep the former Oklahoma star upright. His young receiving corps, also being overhauled for the second consecutive offseason, will need to take a step forward. And Bradford will need to trust himself; for all his physical ability, he seemed to exhibit a serious mental block about throwing deep in years past. But if you're looking for the Murray profile of a talented player who could make a lot of money by staying healthy at the right time, Bradford is the most plausible comparison. He's football's biggest lottery ticket in 2015.

I never said you think he sucks.  I said you're a hyperbolic troll who lays it on thick whenever anything you predict remotely comes true.  Again.  Not.  News.

False. No one said that.

"you are ridiculous".

True, people say this to you all the time.

a drop in every game. that equals 2 drops.
