Donte' Stallworth

[ice grillin you]

The Eagles best offensive games came with Stallworth out of the lineup last year. The offense will be fine without him. He was never the #1 priority this offseason.

if you care about wins vs green bay and sf in september then you wont miss him...if you care about wins in january (and hopefully february) you need good wr's

remember when Dave said that the next few days were going to be crazy?  good times

paying ryan fowler more money than donte stallworth = crazy

[SunMo]

Sun-Sentinel:

"[The money] was very comparable," Rosenhaus told WSVN-TV Sunday night. "It really was a matter of Donte' knowing that he's going to be in a one-year situation, and he needs to succeed. And, frankly, he wants to win.

"It was best for him to sign with New England because of Tom Brady. Donte' really thought a lot of [Dolphins coach] Cam Cameron. But Donte' [signed] a one-year contract, so it's imperative for him that he put himself in the best environment to succeed. Right now the Patriots are more solid offensively than Miami because of the uncertainty at quarterback. The Dolphins might sign Trent Green. Is [Daunte] Culpepper going to be healthy? Is Cleo Lemon ready? Well, Tom Brady is the best."

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

So, Miami and New England were vying for his services, and the Eagles basically didn't even get involved.

So, Miami and New England were vying for his services, and the Eagles basically didn't even get involved.

Or they were involved, but not considered by team Rosenhaus.

Or the question was specifically "Why was NE chosen over Miami?", instead of "Why was NE chosen over all the teams that wanted Stallworth?"

it doesnt take a rocket scientist to see the eagles wanted no part of stallworth


with mcnabbs health up in the air i honestly believe the eagles are scrapping the 07 season and gonna make a run in 08 when they are hoping mcnabb will be 100% again and they have a ton of money in the 08 offseason to spend

The fluffer in me hopes they passed on Stallworth because a long-term extension will be forthcoming for L.J. Smith.

The realist in me points and laughs at the fluffer and calls him a jackass.

What about wins over a playoff team and rival like Dallas without him? OR putting up 24 points on New Orleans?

We need to be able to stop the run. We can score points without Stallworth. It's the inability to stop that run that ultimately sank this team last year.

I think that's it in a nutshell, IGY.  McNabb isn't going to be 100% (or playing at all) the beginning of next season.  Even the hardest core homer can't believe that the Eagles are going far with Heather Mitt's boyfriend as the starting QB for any length of time.

again in the regular season maybe...against tough teams in the playoffs no...see carolina in the pre TO year as a perfect example

but if you want to play the record game then i will

without donte last year 2-2
with donte 9-5
