farg the Raiders for not giving Burgess more money.

Finally, someone gets it.

1. Yes, Burgess did have a nice rookie season. That is why in 2002 when he broke his foot they kept his ass on the 53-man roster the entire season instead of putting him on IR.

2. So after the broken foot of 2002, the torn achilles of 2003, the separated sternum and 2.5 sacks in 2004 he leaves the Eagles and stays healthy and has a monster season.

3. The hindsighters and FO haters like to point out that they let Burgess go. But those people who are now crying over the loss of Burgess would've been the same group of people blasting the FO had they re-signed him and he got hurt again in 2005.

4. The Eagles knew he had talent but the man just could not stay healthy. Is that so hard to understand? I think it is. But hey, don't let some facts interrupt you guys bitching about them signing a guy who, like Burgess, was injured much of the past two seasons.

Get Burgess!!1

hunt · March 28, 2006, 11:29:41 AM

they were wrong...but i'd like to see you explain away their failure to adequately replace him.

ready......go!

Simple. They saw signs of improvement and drive in their 2003 first round selection, one they traded up to get.

Then he got shot.

hunt · March 28, 2006, 11:35:28 AM

signs of improvement and drive, huh?

more proof of their ineptitude!

SunMo · March 28, 2006, 11:35:56 AM

but....but...but...the eagles should've seen ahead that he was gonna get shot. duh

rjs246 · March 28, 2006, 11:37:01 AM

I had him in my death pool. And just like everyone else in my death pool he survived against the odds. Figures.

Lets assume Burgess was re-signed and playing for the Eagles last season, their record is still 6-10.

Rome · March 28, 2006, 11:39:22 AM

Not if McNabb wasn't injured they weren't.

mcdougle was another one that didnt even impress in college so why would they think he was gonna be a pro...and they traded up for him...i find it funny that the eagles are somehow able to find the only miami hurricanes that cant play in the league

PoopyfaceMcGee · March 28, 2006, 11:39:42 AM

Wrong. 7-9.

Rome · March 28, 2006, 11:43:09 AM
