I blame Tito.

Team Tito approves of this message.

Given the man hasn't played a down with the iggles, but if he performs well do you think they will resign him? When I say well, I mean producing the same number he did last season or better. My guess is, if he doesn't get injured, he will produce more than he did last year. Last year he was in an offense with a menial quarterback who had very few weapons.

Got Manneans?

I agree. A little undersized but a good football player.

Don't kid yoruself, he was plenty good. The birds farged up the money situation and couldn't pay him. One of the dumbest recent moves by the gold standard.

He was a 7th round pick out of Temple, the Eagles never signed him. Yes he is good NOW, but it isnt like he was a 7th round stud.

Well, they decided to pay Lito more and that affected how much they had to play with when it came to Brock. They offered him the standard (comparable to the spot he was selected) contract and his agent wanted more. They couldn't give more because of the rookie cap. So they cut ties with him.

99% of the players in the 7th round wouldn't amount to shtein. But he was a gem. They got burned on that one. But if it was a guy like Dominic Furio and they opted to tell him and his agen to go farg themselves for trying to ask for more no one would give a shtein.

how can u even debate this other than he was a 7th round DP that the Eagles ran out of money to sign. Not like he was a 2rd rounder, he was camp fodder coming in.

Actually, I think it was Sheldon Brown that got more--one of the few time having 2 2nd round picks has hurt them.

Who's debating? It's a simple fact. The Gold Standard of the NFL farged up the money situation at the time and couldn't afford to sign the cheapest of drafted players. There is no reason NOT to have the money available to sign a seventh rounder, a fact which iirc even the Eagles admitted at the time. It boils down to this: The Eagles had him and couldn't get it done. Am I supposed to cut them a break? Are they not farging professionals?

And this from a team/HC that is more or less fixated on mining the late rounds and UDFAs. Raheem Brock was an unmitigated snafu. No other player they've passed on in recent years has done nearly so much.

But oh well. Life goes on.
