Garcia - Eagle WR's seem like clones

[The BIGSTUD]

Are you going to make some arguments, or just bold specific lines like a retard?

Shawn Barber is better than Keith Adams, and we have competition with guys like McCoy and Gocong. Say what you want about McCoy who some people foolishly label him as a bust after one farging season. Give me a break with that bust nonsense. Give the guy a chance to get on the field first. Not everyone can jump right in and start. The linebackers are better. We didn't make drastic upgrades, but they are better.

Make some arguments, and maybe we can actually debate this, if you actually have the intelligence and maturity to respond without just throwing out insults like you normally do.

You are the biggest farging homer I've ever seen. You would fit right in with the ExtremeSkins crew.

ALL'S WELL!

In regards to my earlier post with the smilies: Your post is so loaded full of wishful thinking and hopes, it doesn't deserve a thought out, pointed, factual response.

If I was a homer I'd be saying:

16-0, Reggie Brown is the best receiver ever, Westbrook will rush for 1,500 yards and 20 TDs, blah blah blah.

11-5 is nothing mindblowing at all. As long as McNabb has been healthy, the Eagles have been a Superbowl contender. Have they not?

[shorebird]

Last year happened and I don't see anything to make me believe that this team can improve by 5 games this year.

I think a healthy McNabb alone is worth at least four games, maybe five. All this crap about him not being in control of the offense and not being respected anymore as a leader will be gone after he wins.

I don't really agree with Garcia saying that the recievers look like clones. From what I've seen, Lewis and Brown look a hell of a site better than Pinkston ever has. God help us if they are all only as good as Pinkston.

You think it's wishful that Shawn Barber is better than Keith Adams or that Reggie Brown can be a go to guy or that Herremans is better than Hicks? This has to be some sort of practical joke.

All you have to do is watch how guys like Adams and Hicks played compared to how guys like Herremans, and Reggie Brown played when they got the opportunity. There's nothing wishful about it, it's probable. Can Reggie Brown turn out to be a half season wonder, and can Herremans have been a total fraud? Sure, everything's possible, but you'd be basing it on no factual evidence.

Shawn Barber health aside has proven he's better than Keith Adams. Keith Adams has proven he's not a starting linebacker in this league.

Is Schobel not better than Spach or Chad Lewis was the last 2/3 years? Have you even seen Schobel play? Did Moats not show you anything last year? Do I have any reason to assume he won't be a player?

It's called probable thinking, not wishful. Wishful thinking is a shot in the dark. Wishful thinking is me saying Gocong will be a pro bowler, because it would be based on seeing nothing of him at the pro level.

So please don't give me that garbage. The Eagles have questions like everyone else, thats obvious, but there is no reason to think we haven't upgraded in those specific areas.

I'm sure you've watched a lot of Schobel games.

Great point. Everyone ripped McNabb and said the same garbage in 2003 when he had a poor start. It was said that he has a deep bone bruise in his hand, and everyone blamed it on excuses.

Well, what do you know? Suddenly when the hand heals the Eagles start winning again. Wow, who'd have thunk it? The bottom line is, the Eagles win when McNabb is healthy, and always have. As long as McNabb has been a full-time healthy starter for this team, they've made the playoffs and have won at least one playoff game.

I hate this time of the year.

The "I think the Eagles suck. Oh yeah? Well I think they're good! You're a ES level homer! No, you're a negadelphian!" arguments are tiresome.

[rjs246]

A healthy McNabb does not make a 4 game difference on his own. That's not a slight on McNabb. That's a quarter of the goddamned season. Saying that he makes a 4 game difference in wins is like saying that one player, in one season, would make a 20 win difference in Basketball/Hockey, or a 40 game difference in baseball. It just isn't realistic. McNabb can do a lot and having him back should improve this team automatically by 1 or 2 wins. But there is a whole hell of a lot else wrong with this team that number five has no control over.

[rjs246]

Further, anyone that claims that this team is in any way better than the 2004 team should be bannished from life.

[The BIGSTUD]

I'm not comparing McNabb to Jordan here so don't take it the wrong way, but the fact is one player can make a huge difference in sports.

When Jordan left the Bulls they won about 50 less games. 45 to be exact, since the year after was the half season. He's the greatest player ever, but the point is, in sports one player can make everyone else on the team better. Especially in football with a QB, that is the most important piece of any team. Plus you have such a bad backup like McMahon.

If you take Tom Brady off the Pats, do you think they even sniff the playoffs? I don't.

[SunMo]

the offense is gonna be what it is, what it was in 2003 and 2002, a unit that needs to play with little mistakes to sustain drives and score points, with the quarterback having to be a playmaker.

where this team goes from 6 or 7 wins to 10 or 11 is the defense.  is the new dline gonna get pressure on the qb?  if not, they are in trouble.

[shorebird]

A quarterback in football means twice as much and is twice as important than any player in any other sport. To compare a quarterback to any hockey, basketball or baseball player is ridiculous.

Are you really saying that a healthy McNabb by himself isn't four games better  than McMahon?? Your forgetting that he almost single handedly won and got us to the playoffs before this team acquired Owens.

[rjs246]

I'm not forgetting anything. Are you forgetting that McNabb was 4-5 before going under the knife last year. QB is the most important player on the team, but football, more than anything, is a team sport and McNabb by himself doesn't make a four game difference. Not even close.
