Gaffney, Not Bunkley Busted On Weapons Charge

Rome · August 01, 2006, 11:14:28 AM

So Bunkley is going to give up millions of dollars, hold out for an entire year and eventually re-enter the NFL Draft in 2007 because of his agent's 16 year-old beef with the Eagles??

OMG.

bunkley will be in camp in the next week

and he wont have a big impact this year...i can see a similar season to patterson last year...but it wont have anything to do with his contract not getting done...and his whole career certainly isnt over because of it

now we have another loser with a blog...saying theres a history with his agent going back to 1990...lolol...even tho hes darren howards agent...i see the front office minions are in full e-f-f-e-c-t right about now

you kids get way to excited over stuff that doesnt warrant it...let him be unsigned in september before you lose it

Yeah and 1990 it was also a different ownership, though I do disagree with you about people should not get excited over him not being here. There is no reason he shouldn't be this is a slotted contract and the picks directly in front of him and after him have signed. So really there is no reason at all for him to still be a holdout.

well he should be in camp but for whatever reason he isnt..my point is there a lot more things to be worrying about right now than bunkley being a week late for camp

i mean people are actually saying his career is over cause of this...you dont think thats outrageous?

yes, its completely foolish and its also foolish to think this guy is going to be a make or break for the Eagles d-line this year. if the birds thought that, he'd be in camp right now

if hes destined to be a great lineman, he will be. so, to get this excited about missed practices is not going to effect the Eagles record this year--maybe from his learning curve perspective, but thats it

Stop trying to calm me down! I'm so pissed!

LOUD NOISES!

It is absolutely outrageous, but people often make stupid comments when they get emotional about a topic. My concern with him coming in late to camp is the injury factor, players who come in late often get injured when going against these guys that are starting to get into football shape. I figure as long as he gets in by the end of the week he should be ok.

I think Bunkley will contribute a lot. Probably won't start at the beginning of the year, but I think by the middle of the season he will be. If he comes in and makes more plays than Walker, then Andy has no reason not to start him. He wants to make his football team the best it can be.

It's not missing camp that's going to ruin his career, it's that damn weapon charge hanging over his head.

Good God. Physician, heal thyself.

Also - I never said his career was over and neither did Brookover. He merely showed that players who miss their first camp because of a holdout are more prone to being busts and the facts generally supported his assertion.

Additionally, I never said he was going to be a bust. I said he was going to be useless this year if he doesn't get his ass into camp immediately. And I stand by that opinion. He's plainly doing himself and the team a big disservice by not being in camp, IGY.

I heard he hired some hookers too.

Wow, most people only rent them.

He's hard-core, though.

He's the Thing. Once he's done with them, they aren't much use anymore.

You see, this is a normal level of expectation for a rookie. But no! Every first rounder is going to be super stud 10-sack all-world oh my god we have the bestest defensive line ever!

Reality is a much more relaxing place to live, freaks.
