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

Ryan Moats, 2005 > Priest Holmes, 2003

Dude, he has a feeling.  Don't question the innate ability.  Knowledge is king, and he's in the throne.


HOLLA

listen to this man


Newsflash:

i thought it was a mass fax??

They know more than you so shut your faceholes.  If they think Westbrook is worth "X" then that's what he's worth and no amount of caterwauling on your part is going to change that.

thats fine and dandy....but moats better be as good as westbrook

Did you eat paint chips when you were a kid?

Seriously.

give westbrook 25 carries per game & let him prove his running ability/durability before you throw the bank at him.  the guy hasn't even come close to 1000 yards rushing in a season.  he should be flattered if the eagles are comparing him to dom davis.

I disagree to a point. Yes, I agree that he needs to play a full season minus injury before they throw the bank at him. That's my biggest fear. They lock up 15 mil in guaranteed money and he continues to get hurt every year. A deal for him would be high risk/high reward, so its a tough situatino. BUT, he should be compared to Dom. Davis...I just don't think he should be compared to guys like Tomlinson.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Throw him the money either way. He's not a 25-carries-a-game guy but he makes up for that with his receiving skills and matchup problems that he creates. If all's he did was run it 18 times a game and had stone-hands...I'd agree with you.

But he catches 70 balls a year. That is worth the extra 7 touches per game that he gets in the passing game versus the run game.

why do people keep talking about 25 carries a game?  the Eagles don't run the ball enough for him to get that.

he gets approx 18-23 "touches" a game and usually has over 100 yards on those touches...

Brian's claiming that defensive coordinators label him as the guy they have to game plan against on a week-by-week basis.

it's true, almost every D-coordinator or head coach says it.

Thats why I said his role as a pass catcher have to be factored in and they should pay him.

He isn't going to run it 25 times. But he'll run it 18 and catch 7 balls. And that, to me, is the same as having a guy run it 25 times.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Depending on the defense's personnel, they game plan for #36 or #81 first, the other 2nd and #5 3rd.

If McNabb ran more, he'd be #1 almost all the time.  But he doesn't.

its called avg yards per touch....look it up...then look up westbrooks nfl rank in that category....cha ching

i totally agree.  that's why I say he is as valuable to the Eagles as LT, Priest, Edge, Shaun Alexander are to their respective teams.

and they have all this cap money, overpaying for 1, young, core player will not set them in cap hell.  I am not asking them to be the taterskins, I am asking them to sign one player that is a gamebreaker.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

They don't need to overpay Westbrook.  Because what he's worth (and what they honestly believe he's worth to them) will end up being exactly the contract he signs in a month or so... I hope.

westy ran it 13.6 times per game & caught 5.6 passes per game....almost 20 touches/game but still not what a "franchise" rb gets. 


btw, dom davis had 125 more carries than westbrook and 5 fewer catches.
