Hank Baskett Hysteria

[Eagles 3x]

GREAT pass
GOOD catch

if you wanna call it a great catch cause an undrafted traning camp sensation made it then fine...but a good nfl wr makes that catch in his sleep...where as only a few qb's make that throw

If you want to call it a good catch because it was a UDFA that we traded for then fine.
Replay the tape and tell me that you can't think of several of our receivers that would have A) given to much room to the defender and been OB. B) not extended enough to get thier hands on the ball. C) bobbled the damn thing. D) almost made a great/good catch. All I could think was, Damn, Phreak's TC reports were right on. If the ball is near him he's gonna catch it.

well in relation to the other eagle wr's it was the GOAT catch

[reese125]

simma down now....it was a nice catch but lets not throw a bucket of Gatorade on him just yet.

Consistency is a nice word to shoot for

[SunMo]

exactly, he made that nice catch, but he also got muscled off a slant route and almost cost Donovan a pick

[ice grillin you]

he still hasnt proven he can get open in the league either...something im on record as saying he wont be able to do

if you can get him isolated way outside he has a chance to be a good go up and get the ball guy...whether that be down the sideline or in the corner of the end zone

[reese125]

nice catch, but if you want to break it down even further, he barely got off the line of scrimmage.

no doubt he will have a tougher time against the better corners in the league. They play these receivers in man coverage, which I assuming they will without a deep threat, were in trouble...but we already know that

that said, LJ has a big year

Predicting failure for a player you've seen play almost two whole quarters in the NFL is kewl.

[Eagles 3x]

Why would you say we're in trouble? All we need is for Westbrook to stay healthy for all 16 games and Baskett and Brown to stay healthy and improve every game. No injuries to anyone else and we'll be fine. Seems simple enough to me. All we need is one miraculous season.
Great googily moogily, we're in trouble.
It was a great catch. Thats my story and I'm stickin' to it.

thinking an undrafted free agent will actually contribute in his rookie year is even kewler

You answered your own question...

[reese125]

Great googily moogily, we're in trouble.

please dont

please dont

Yeah leave Grady out of this

[Diomedes]

If you're gonna make predictions about how young-player-x will do, nevermind who he is or what position he plays, the smart money is on failure.  Predicting success is foolish.

[ice grillin you]

not just that but i didnt see anyone predict failure in the first place

[Rome]

Yeah, you're right.  Expressing pessimism about a guy who went from nowhere to the cusp of starting for an NFL team as an unknown, undrafted rookie is far better than expressing excitement.

What was I thinking!?
