but the problem is these guys most likely will not even hit the market.

if they somehow do i have no confidence in this FO to actually go and get some of these players.

they will promote winston justice even if he is not the answer.

same with mikell (he is not terrible but still).

they will claim they are fine at corner with hanson and graham and let go off james.

they will say they are fine at DE with cole, thomas, and promote abiamari even if he is not good enough.

they will chalk this season up to mcnabb not being healthy and go into next season again with a false sense of confidence. only if the eagles fail again next season will they even consider making the moves they need to.

) I do think some of those players will hit the market

2) couldnt agree more with the rest and the stadium will be packed liked sardines every game regardless

what about some kind of gang handshake since we're both from the hood?

Eagaholic · December 05, 2007, 02:45:16 PM

Another market besides the draft and FAs are teams that want to trade someone or a player that insists on being traded. If the Eagles are ever going to get back to, much less win a SB, they are probably going to need a true #1 WR . That will take at least 2-3 years to develop from a rookie not to mention a bit of luck. FA's of this caliber probably won't hit the market unless they have alot of baggage. There has been some talk that Chad Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, or even Roy Williams could be had. I think there's a decent chance at least one of those becomes available this year. Whether the FO will bite is another story, but they might have some trade bait.

The best thing they could do for Kolb if they go with him is get him a true no.1 receiver. Of the ones Eagaholic mentioned, I like Roy Williams.

This team can't draft very well. Like rjs said, all those picks are a train wreck waiting to happen. I just don't have much faith in Reid drafting pro-bowlers at any other position other than lineman that will make an impact.

Best thing for this team is to lose out and make the odds better for the first round pick.

Magical_Retard · December 06, 2007, 07:24:59 AM

i would love for Kolb to get a true #1 WR but you just know it will not happen. no matter what.

im starting to believe the TO deal was more of TO wanting to play for Philly and Donovan talking him up.

Yep... remember, TO was stored away in Baltimore and Andy was sitting there with his dick in his hands. TO was the one who made the big stink and kept mentioning Philly... which made both the Niners and the Ravens approach the Eagles about the trade.

In no way was Andy the agressor in that move.

He was all set to throw the tremendous trio of Thrash, Pinkston and McMullen out there for opposing defenses to deal with.

wow ike reese was just on wip and said people on the team have told him that westbrook put himself in the game last week for that punt return...andy wasnt going to do it but westbrook was tired of not touching the ball in the 4th quarter and wanted to do something

SunMo · December 06, 2007, 09:02:47 AM

no shtein....if that's true, it's another reason why andy should be fired

ice grillin you · December 06, 2007, 09:07:11 AM

i think the big story here is that andy has players on the team that are not just talking to an outsider with this kind of 411 but also letting him go on the radio with it...sounds like andy has completely lost the team
