They're gonna get out there and work hard and compete.

They're gonna get out there and work hard and compete.

But the burning question is... Are they going to get in the mix there?

[rjs246]

If Andy puts them in a position to make plays, sure.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I think he's going to try to do a better job of that.

[The BIGSTUD]

I'd rather keep bowtie than have Emmons back

so would i...id also rather have ike back


since i've been a football fan, i've never seen someone  get so consistantly wide open as stallworth did last year.  over and over, there was no one within ten yards of him.  curtis won't do that.

pretty much...curtis was a holy shtein our wr's are atrocious and we need to quell the uprising amongst our fans lets get someone quick signing

people need not to confuse best person available at the time with excellent signing

the eagles play the game so well

they let the top notch players sign elsewhere...they get the fanbase in a frenzy by doing nothing for a couple weeks...then just when you think its the end of the world they sign a second rate guy like curtis...

the timing is brilliant in that people have already moved on and forgotten about stallworth leaving and instead switched their anger to the fact that the eagles havent done anything....so what the birds do then is sign someone...anyone....and people dont say "wait this is stallworths replacement??"...

they are instead "yes! finally they did something...hmmm kevin curtis? not a bad player nice signing"...then a little more time passes and before you know it you have lots of eagle fans back in the kool aid...even tho the big picture says going from curtis to stallworth is a minus for the team

Ummm... they signed Curtis like 3 or 4 days after Stallworth. No one is going to say that Curtis is better than Stallworth, but IMO he is close. Have you ever seen the guy play or are you just ripping the signing for the sake of it. I'd rather have Stallworth, and am still a little annoyed that he isn't back, but we aren't losing Chad Johnson here. Donte Stallworth is NOT a stud #1 WR. He drops balls, he isn't durable.

This offense is not going to see a huge dropoff, if any, in the production this year as long as McNabb is healthy. That is another issue for another discussion though, because obviously for this team to do anything it is contingent upon McNabb being ready to play and play well.

[rjs246]

Statistical production is meaningless. I would be thrilled if this offense put up less yards and points but actually had ANY time of possession. Sadly, the head coach disagrees. He likes to play Madden with the offense.

[Magical_Retard]

There is love for Avant?

people had him penciled in as the #3 wr before curtis was signed and lots of them were fine with it...i guess it comes from heckert and andy always big upping him in interviews...for whatever reason there is a large segment of people out there who think a player is good for no other reason than that he was drafted by the eagles

i dont think anyone was fine with it. show me who was fine with the eagles WRs being Brown, Baskett, and Avant. i think everyone on this board was upset with that lineup.

the eagles ofcourse would think they would be fine with that lineup since at times last season without stallworth the eagles were able to put up points, but that was with a healthy mcnabb playing at a amazing pace b4 getting hurt.

If the Eagles commit to the run like they say, then this offense will be damn good. Still a big question that they do commit to it though. I'll have to see it to believe it. But maybe McNabb coming off his career's worst injury is finally that wakeup call.

Stallworth is a more proven receiver than Curtis, but Stallworth isn't some star either. He was an outcast of a Saints team that didn't want him, and when he hit free agency, no teams ran out and offered him huge cash. Again, I'd rather have had Stallworth, but it isn't like we are replacing Chad Johnson with Curtis. Stallworth wasn't all that amazing. We'll see how Curtis does. He has already shown flashes when starting with the Rams. It isn't a huge strech that he can come in and be a good receiver.

and you really think Reggie Brown is a #3 receiver? He isn't a pro bowler, but I look at him as a very good #2.

Ummm... they signed Curtis like 3 or 4 days after Stallworth. No one is going to say that Curtis is better than Stallworth, but IMO he is close.

Repeating the same points over and over again helps make an argument stronger. Fo sho.

[The BIGSTUD]

Sifting through one's posts for miniscule/nitpicky things is a clear sign of higher intelligence. Word.

[rjs246]

King Cole, lets be honest here, you don't have to 'sift through' your posts to find idiocy. And the nonsense in them is hardly miniscule.

[The BIGSTUD]

To you, the smoking ban is idiocy. That is all that needs to be said about you and your opinion towards idiocy.

again...one of the dumber human beings that has ever lived...makes munson look like william sidis

[The BIGSTUD]

Does Holcomb getting #10 mean that Detmer isn't coming back? 

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

It's unsurprising that you wouldn't be able to see the intellectual value of true freedom.
