Brian Westbrook Is Not There And Not Expected To Show UP!!

[fansince61]

If he didn't show up today, isn't he giving up his right to be a free agent after 2005?

Yup!

[JTrotter Fan]

Hopefully it doesn't come to him being a UFA.  I'm hoping that he's signed before the season officially starts.

Whether he is from Villanova or FSU...what is the difference?  None really.  What matters is that he's a star in the NFL and he's proven he is worth some money.  I agree, he should've signed the deal presented to him.  I mean honestly, did he think holding out would get him an extra $20k a year or something? 

A star in the NFL? How many 1000 yard rushing seasons does he have? How many years has he even been an NFL starter? He's a part-time back who was forced into full-time duty last year. He's a cool offensive weapon to have, but he's not a star. Unless of course, back to back 600 yard rushing seasons counts as stardom to you.

He apparently showed up for practice today. See picture above ......

That means he will have the right to free agancy, it most likely means he will get his long term deal hammered out eventually.

Yep.

Oh okay mr expert...i guess the fact that he had the major percentage of the offensive yards last year means nothing, or the fact that he went to the Pro Bowl.  He's not a part-time back idiot.  Ask PG about how she talked last season about how important he was to the offense.  Don't you remember that?  I do.  It's about yards from scrimmage...he is a major cog in this offense.  Oh wait...i forgot that you're blind, deaf and dumb.  Sorry.

Good, it seems as though the Eagles have offered much more than they should have. They have been generous, and he will be paid more than some of the elite running backs in the league.

What dummy turns down an alleged 9 million dollar signing bonus?

[rjs246]

Christ, who stuffed the ball and chain up your ass today? Is he important to our offense? Of course. Is he a star in the league or someone that is an every down back? By no stretch of he imagination.
I don't care what PG or anyone else says (and by the way, if you're using PG as an objective source of objective information you need to have your head examined). Westbrook is NOT a 3 down back. He has never had more than 177 carries in a season. He doesn't run well between the tackles. He's never had a 1000 yards in a season and the only reason he went to the pro-bowl was because of injuries. He's a nifty player, and I love his versatility and play out of the backfield but he is not a star, I don't care how many Philly homers wish that he was.

[PhillyGirl]

wtf? Don't farging talk for me or put my name into a conversation where I am not even involved with. 

[JTrotter Fan]

Oh okay PG, so i can't reference things you said during last season and the playoffs.  C'mon...don't be a baby. 

RJS, i'm just sayin that he is extremely important to our team...that's all.  I'm trying to make me point.  You try to turn everything i post into an argument.

Are you smoking crack?

Let's look at some things YOU posted Mr. Innocent.

But good point, I'm definitely the one trying to start an argument. Do us and yourself a favor, go back to lurking around here and not posting.

Cut Westbrook.

break out the kerosene and matches!

[JTrotter Fan]

I've been here far longer than you pal...so you really have no room to say that.  Ya know what, if you have a problem, let's take it to the PM's and not hijack this thread. 

[Rome]

Personally, I wish you'd both just stfu.

[General_Failure]

I've been here far longer than you pal

I don't care how long any of you have been here, you're all iceholes.
