Kevin Kolb, Philadelphia Eagle

[PhillyPhanInDC]

they are not better than last year, but they aren't bad enough to be a problem.

Though with the addition of Curtis they are significantly more handsome. Think of all the OC wannabe bitches walking around drunk after games!

[Magical_Retard]

i havent heard anyone say the wr's are garbage....they just arent as good as last year

That's debatable.  They have all the same young guys that should be "a year better" in Brown, Baskett, and Avant... they also now have Bloom and Bethel Johnson (although I really don't count them in the equation).

Really, your argument is that Kevin Curtis can't even be compared to Donte' Stallworth, and while I agree that Stallworth is definitely going to make more BIG plays when he's on the field, I think Curtis will be better in 3 specific ways:

1.  He'll be on the field more.  Fewer injuries.
2.  He can play the slot and go across the middle more.
3.  He will make more catches and more first downs.

Again, I think the root of this is actually a bit of racism.  Curtis is a solid player and should do well this year.  If Stallworth stays healthy all year and is catching passes from Tom Brady, his numbers will be better, of course... but it's far from a foregone conclusion that the WR's won't be as good as last year.

how doess moss figure into the equation. stallworth really isnt a possesion WR so doess moss take away from his #s or by default give him more opportunities?

[Rome]

The Eagles spread the ball around so much it doesn't really matter if they have a #1 WR.

Hell, we all know Westbrook is the best receiver on the team so why bother arguing who is the #1 at WR anyway?

I think you'll see Moss and Stallworth both going down the field and both playing the "possession" role at times.  The Patriots like to pass the ball, and if he stays healthy, Stallworth will have great numbers, with or without Moss.

[Rome]

Moss should have numbers like T.O. had in 2004 in that offense.  Whether he will or not depends on how much they're planning on focusing the offense on Brady's arm or Maroney's legs.

Stallworth on the other hand... who knows?  It all depends on whether he stays healthy, mature, and focused now that Moss will be the #1 receiving threat.  He didn't handle the secondary receiver role well in New Orleans.

i wanna see curtis do something as a starting WR with reggie brown and/or hank baskett across from him....this aint the #3 wr position going against the rod hoods of the world with torry holt and issac bruce protecting you

hell i wanna see marques colston have a repeat performance so excuse me if i dont believe in hank baskett who did next to nothing last year...the kool aid involving him is one of the strongest flavors ive ever seen for an eagle bandwagon and thats saying something

reggie brown i like a lot as a #2 wr


They have all the same young guys that should be "a year better" in Brown, Baskett, and Avant

brown is what he is

as for avant and basket a year better than what?  29 total catches...just cause andy reid tells you these guys are nfl players doesnt make it so...especially at the wr position of all places

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I like Baskett as a #3 or #4.  Big body.  Makes plays.  Made two 80+ yarders last year.  What's not to like?

I still think Avant is a very polished player that can make an impact, but even if I'm wrong... he won't do any less than he did last year.

[Diomedes]

the kool aid involving him is one of the strongest flavors ive ever seen for an eagle bandwagon and thats saying something

2 80+ yard TDs sweetens the mix

[ice grillin you]

2 80+ yard TDs sweetens the mix

ha....i was waiting for how long it would take ff to drop the two 80 yarder line...its like motherfarging clockwork

[Magical_Retard]

he has that sweet sweet character as well.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

It is what it is.  It proves he's not ridiculously slow and can occasionally make a big play.

[Rome]

Those two eighty-plus yarders were sweet, though, especially against Dallas.  He ran right in front of my seat in the end zone.  Goddamn it that was cool as hell.

farg Dallas.

That was a happy day.

Aaron Brooks was the QB just to remind you. that could have something to do with his production.

[Rome]

Joe Horn > Stallworth

now

Randy Moss > Stallworth


That's the comparison I was making.  I wasn't really busting on Stallworth's production more his ability to handle being the #2 guy again.
