Comp Picks Announced (Eagles Get A 5th & 6th)

[ice grillin you]

Still pimping Randle El, huh IGY?

oh i get it...cause i listed numerous players that could have filled holes it was a pimping randel el post...even for you thats a big reach...and kind of weak...

unless you were using it as an excuse to use 'pimping' in a post...then congrats

randel el hutchinson arrington peterson

thats a long name

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

yeah but maybe they sign randel el hutchinson arrington peterson or witherspoon instead of howard

As it was, their primary FA target was Bentley, not Howard.  Who knows if they would have gone after both players if they were able to get Bentley?

There is no way they would have been serious players for Randle-El, Arrington, Peterson, or Witherspoon after the CBA completed, with or without Burgess on the team.

oh lord

the point is its one less hole they would have had to fill

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Big whoop.  They had and have plenty of money to fill all the holes via free agency if they wanted to do so.

They ignored the holes at SAM and DT completely so far.  Would that have changed if they still had Burgess?  I doubt it.

why is that such a stretch to say that if they didnt sign howard they would have signed another bigger type named free agent instead

no different than if they still had TO they dont sign gaffney and instead get someone else

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Because they simply will not pay a linebacker what Peterson and Witherspoon got and what Arrington will get, and because there's no way they would have offered Randle-El more money than the taterskins did.

dayum...you really can tell the future but you don't think the eagles FO should be able to.  isn't that a little odd?

[SunMo]

no every other team can do what you are talking about, they can predict the future of all their young players?

that was even more poorly worded than mine...well done!

and the answer is yes?

[SunMo]

yeah, i re-read that and realized that it's something someone with downs would say.

the point being, teams can predict the future with their young players, and all of them do it 100%?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Are you saying that you really think the Eagles would have gone hard after farging Randle-El or a linebacker if they'd kept Burgess around last off-season?  That's laughable.

Plus, I'm not predicting the future.  I'm predicting the present in an alternate universe.  Try to keep up.

not specifically but they would've had 1 less need so they could've spent that $$$ elsewhere....or they could be really, really, really under the cap instead of just really, really under.

[ice grillin you]

are you saying had howard not be signed their offseason would have consisted of schobel barber gaffney and garcia???

[BigEd76]

Don't forget that they (re-)signed the top OT in the free agent market too...
