J.Walker in town?

[Wingspan]

can you show me where ANY wr was developed in house and considered a success? i cant.

no, i can't, we agree on that.  the point is, it's because they've drafted garbage at that position.  you can't name me any any WR they've drafted that's gone on be developed by anybody, on any team

no...because no one wants to take on 26-27 year old projects that havent been coached right when they can get a guy somewhere else.

Considering Freddie Mitchell's success post-Eagles, I'd have to think that Culley's a genius.

ok, it's obvious that you are not going to get off this point.  you are willing to lay the failure of the Eagles having quality, homegrown WR at the feet of a position coach, however inane that may be.

i, on the other hand, will hold the person drafting these dogs responsible for that.

"Shoot low" should be our free agency motto.

that was my college motto

Bloomsburg grads...

seriously?

seriously?

cant stand the speculation...but its what he said

[MadMarchHare]

Back to Walker for a moment......isn't it tampering to say we have interest in J Walker when he's signed by another team and hasn't been given permission to ask for a trade?

That might be why the "no interest" statement was made with a quickness.

Where?  When?

Eagles Live is not on the air, and he hasn't said anything of the sort on his board.

What have any of those guys done anywhere else?  And Small and Johnson don't belong in that group because they were veteran receivers - they weren't developing into anything other than waht they were.  Gari Scott, Freddie Mitchell, Na Brown, and Dameane Douglas really had a lot of potential that Culley didn't get out of them - that's why they're no longer in the league.     Other teams have taken shots with those guys and then dumped them after realizing there was no talent there. 

Fire David Culley, fine.  But he's not the real problem, the talent evaluation in the draft is the real problem.  A while back I did a comparison of the Eagles w/ some of the other top teams like the Colts, Steelers and Patriots and it was clear the Eagles just didn't draft nearly as well as those teams.  And it's not just with WRs.  The Eagles had one really good draft in 2002, but beyond that they've been below average.  They've blown too many high round picks (McDougle, Caver, McMullen, Freddie Mitchell, Bobbie Williams, Barry Gardner, Matt Ware, maybe McCoy (yeah it's early, but he's certainly giving us reason to be nervous).  Other than McNabb, under the Andy Reid era their draft picks have a combined 3 pro bowl appearances.

I also just checked and didn't see anything of the sort, FF.  He out and out said that it was a rumor and nothing more.  He also said that whenever someone's planning a visit or whatever and it's official, he'll let us know.

I think that this thread & your comment are the message board equivalent of me getting the "lick & suck treatment" at the Fantasy Showbar in Pennsauken. It starts out with excitement & promise but ends up being just me nibbling on a fat girl's breast & popping myself off in a wet-nap. Only it doesn't cost me $250 to read this.

we can always spin this and make spadaro look even more like an idiot

[Rome]

LOL - Dave just popped his cork on someone...

What the bleep are you talking about? You make absolutely no sense ... I'm really wondering why in the world I'm here, subjecting myself to these ridiculous rants. I don't mind trying to answer questions, but it's over and over the same dumb thing. How many times do you want to question the Burgess thing? It didn't work out. We all acknowledge that. Hey, it happens.

When you suggest the Eagles haven't done anything in free agency this year, well, YOU ARE WRONG. The Eagles signed what they hope is a starting WILL linebacker, a starting DE and a TE who is going to play a lot.

Spewdaro's new 'tude is great.
