Eagles release Simon

[WEST is GOD]

Do you think Patterson will be starting by the end of the season?

[General_Failure]

Only if he's not on IR.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Wouldn't even really matter if he was starting since they rotate them out so much..

But I think Hollis will be the starter alongside Walker.

[WEST is GOD]

I really hope Patterson turns into a player. I don't want this move to bite the Eagles in the ass. I don't mind this move at all, but it all rests on Patterson's shoulders. If he is a bust then this move sucks even if Simon is overrated. Simply because of depth issues, and health issues with Hollis. Patterson has the tools and worth ethic though, and looked good in preseason. Not saying I don't think he will be a player, but it is very important that he does.

[General_Failure]

At the very worst, he'll be as good as Simon was at the start of the season last year. I doubt he'll be on his ass that much.

Eckel (and I know this personally) LOVES Corey Simon. I knew that he was going to go nuts about it as soon as it happened.

Patterson is a player.  Patterson will be an even better player as the season progressing.


Don't worry your pretty little heads about Patterson.

Even I think calling Simon a "bad player" might be extreme, but he did completely disappear for large chunks of time.

That 2000 draft first round looks like a real winner right now....

Courtney Brown
Peter Warrick
Corey Simon
Plaxico Burress
Thomas Jones
Travis Taylor
Ron Dayne
Deltha O'Neal
Stockar McDougle
Sylvester Morris
Chris McIntosh
Rashard Anderson
Ahmed Plummer
Chris Hovan
Erik Flowers
R. Jay Soward
Trung Canidate

I thought Sylvester Morris was a 2nd round pick.    Regardless, that is still one craptastic orgy of wasted draft picks.

Agreed.  There's a big difference between being a bad player and a lazy, out of shape player.  Simon is the latter.

Also picked in the first round in 2000:

LaVar Arrington
Chris Samuels
Jamal Lewis
Brian Urlacher
Shaun Ellis
John Abraham
Bubba Franks
Julian Peterson
Sebastian Janikowski
Chad Pennington
Shaun Alexander
Anthony Becht
Rob Morris
Keith Bulluck

You kind of have to look at the whole picture to get the real idea.
