Predict The Date/Time That Westbrook Receives His Contract Extension.

[PhillyPhanInDC]

I would like to thank a lot of you for reminding me that the FO never does anything wrong.

Sometimes it bothers me that we let great players go because we're cheap, but then I realize that they never make a bad decision.

Thanks again.

Again, your sarcasm blows. Great players let go because the FO Is cheap? Who is a great player let go in THIS FO's history?

Trotter

You don't do so good with history do you? Trotter SUCKED in D.C. He is in a scheme that works to his strengths. Nothing more. If he were going to a team that wants him to drop back in pass coverage, and "float", not so great.

[Wingspan]

i would over pay westbrook.

he cant be making too much as a 3rd rd pick...especially for what he's done for the eagles.

he deseverves something a little higher than the normal Banner Jedi Mind Trick Contracts

(this is the offer you're looking for....move along)

it's not about what the players do elsewhere, it's about how they are replaced on this team.  they never replaced Trotter until they got.... oh wait, Trotter.

[Zanshin]

Yeah, but you're a durable pounder.

I'd overpay a little...but not ridiculously so.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

however, i think they are messing this one up

I agree with you about Westbrook for now.  The issue is that you're relatively new to this board and were very "vocal" about them letting Simon go, so we see you as someone who cries bloody murder any time the Eagles lose someone, only to later realize the error of your ways when the player leaves... the opposite of a FO apologist, if you will.

With Taylor, Vincent, and Hugh... did you think the Eagles were also making the wrong decision with those players, or were you on board with them letting them go all along?

[PhillyPhanInDC]

So what now? Does he play? Trying to put pressure? I just hope he stops with the media bullshtein. Look where that went with T.O. Man, I just want these millionares to shut the farg up and play the game.

what are talking about...did you read his press conference comments...this is night and day btwn TO and westbrook

btw westbrook is not a millionaire

All I am saying is that I want him to keep it in house and quiet. I wasn't comparing him and his situation to T.O. The media will jump all over another "problem" in Philly, and I am tired of hearing about it. That said, get a farging clue and read the whole post. 

[rjs246]

terrible example?  how?  how did the genius FO replace him?  they didn't.

and just because he blows out a knee, he sucks?  ok.

They didn't replace him, and we got just as far without him (two years in a row) as we did with him. He was AWFUL in DC. Even before his injury. Ask any skins fan.

No, its about the money he WANTED, the money the Eagles OFFERED, the money the Skins OVERPAID, and the money he ended up getting here this offseason.

i was on board.  i thought maybe they should've kept Vincent for the nickel but other than that i was ok with Taylor and Vincent.

i thought Hugh was a small mistake, but obviously was wrong on that.  the one thing about that is that he is another player they didn't replace the following year.  they had to wait an extra year until they got Kearse.  but Hugh did nothing in Jacksonville, so that's a win for FO.

i still think they should've kept Corey for the franchise tender, but only time will see how that plays out.

Trotter is also a better and smarter player now than he was in his first stint with the Eagles.

Trying to learn Marvin Lewis's defense and having to fight to get his starting spot back both taught him quite a lot.

[General_Failure]

For the record, Trotter always sucked. Still does.

Actually it is. Trotter was a product of the system. Nothing more. he left and sucked. We went just as far without him. The team didn't miss a beat. A horrible example. Keep trying....you might nail one.

the wont even rate a blip on the media radar...westbrook said 'im not angry im disappointed'...meaning he wants to stay with the team but is not getting the offer he wanted

anyway why do you care what the media says

i agree.  there's no doubt that he didn't play as well in DC.  but while the FO was patting themselves on the back, Levon Kirkland and Barry Gardener, and then Simoneau were getting abused.

Exactly. Now, he probably gets instructions from JJ like, "Trot, you see that center? Good, run over him."
