I want someone as good as Buck when healthy. We can't downgrade in a season where it's all or none. Dorsey can't break the big runs. We have no choice after God chose to be such a farging icehole to buck.

The Eagles got to the farging super bowl last year without him, are you serious? Downgrade from WHAT? From Buckhalter on the IR last year?  ::)

Downgrade from what he brings when he's healthy. When he's healthy we all saw what we can do. We are going to need to bring in a carbon copy of that. Someone besides Westbrook who can break 30/40 yard runs. Dorsey can't do that.

Offseason needs: 2 DEs, 1 DT, 1 OL, 2 LBs, 1 RB, 2 WRs, 1 TE, 1 KR.

And exactly WHEN have we seen him healthy before? Once in the last 3 years, so how in the farg are we downgrading from a guy who hasn't played?

This! This right here is what drives me insane about Buckhalter fans. Jesus man, he hasn't done anything since 2003 when he was part of a 3-back rotation. The last time he even had a shot at maybe kind of being the starter was his rookie year. Stop living in the past! Buckhalter hasn't done anything for this team in years.

Let me explain again.

I just said downgrade from what he brings when HEALTHY. Dorsey isn't frickin good enough to help our running game. I don't care what he did during the season. Any RB named Joe is going to do what Dorsey did behind this offensive line and under this quality offensive scheme that the coaches put together. If you can't comprehend that, then I will sum it up for you in short. Dorsey isn't good enough, we need a RB who can break big runs besides Westbrook. Last year the Pats shut down Westbrook and no one else on the team could break a big run. Dorsey is too slow, and not explosive enough. If we go into the season with Dorsey again then we will not be equipped to defeat the Pats.

Buckhalter 2 seasons rushing with Eagles:  4.4 ypc
Levens 2 seasons rushing with Eagles:  4.95 ypc

That's nice Murp, forget about Buck's injuries for a second. Who would you rather have between a healthy Buckhalter or a healthy Levens?

Just forget about the damn injury for a second it's irrelevant.

But this is completely hypothetical. Yes, everyone would rather have a healthy Buck over a healthy Levens, BUT IT WONT HAPPEN. Yes we are aware that Buckhalter WHEN HEALTHY is better then Levens. But he is never healthy.

Could be, but he sure as hell ain't playing this year.

You can't even guarantee that a healthy Buckhalter this year would have been equivalent to a health Buck from 2003.

How on Earth is it irrelevant? Are you retarded?

"Would you rather have a hospital patient or a healthy athlete on the football field with your team?"

It's assinine to ask that question. Dorsey blocks better, catches better, IS HEALTHY and has a higher YPC avg than Buckhalter. Who would anyone in their right mind rather have? Oh right, they guy who has played as a part time back for 2 out of the five years of his career. WooHoo! Buckhalter rules!
