Eagles turn down schoebel for lelie

[Feva]

Having taken several statistics courses, I could bore you to near death arguing this point.
The fact is, those were two runs out of 55.  If you run a CI analysis, you'd find they lie outside the 95% range, meaning they are aberrations which are just as likely to be due to chance as to a trend.
In analyzing data of this sort, the median (the number at the exact center of all your data points) is a better guage of a trend.  I'm not going through all his games to figure out what that is, but I'm betting it's in the 2 to 3 yard range.

Done.

one could say the same thing about reggie brown...take away two or three long passes vs a sports herniated shawn springs and his stats dont look as good....yet everyone seems to be in love with him

im not defending moats...tons of people overrate him but hes the only thing stopping reno mahe from being a starting rb in the nfl...and reno mahe is a guy everyone can agree shouldnt be in the nfl

Agree with all of this.

moats has some of the big play potential this team would lose if westbrook went down...that's what makes him a good backup for westy.  tatum bell also has big play potential so that's why i'd prefer him to dayne even though there's a need for a big back on this team. 
if they traded moats & didn't get bell in return, buck would be the closest thing to a gamebreaking rb they would have if westbrook went down...and that's a scary proposition.

Dayne has a bad toe right now also.  The kind of BS injury that keeps a player down.

you're just mad because he lit up the Skins.  Look at his numbers against the Giants and Cardinals too...

[ice grillin you]

when the season mattered (pre mcnabb dallas meltdown) he had 17 catches in ten games or less than two receptions per game

sorry if i wanna see him enter a season as the #1 wr
put up numbers against the opponents best corner
in games that actually count
before i annoint him the next chad johnson

[BigEd76]

and during that time, they kept throwing to TO to keep his whiny ass happy.  Notice that Reggie's numbers picked up when he became the top option instead of TO...

[hunt]

we all hope reggie brown is great but you can't tell me he's not a question mark...because he is.

[MadMarchHare]

And Hank Baskett.  And Matt McCoy.

[BigEd76]

Never said he wasn't, which is why I think they still need another WR, whether it be Lelie or whoever...

lol @ his numbers 'picked up'...they couldnt have went down...he was catching one ball a game

you honestly believe that TO was getting balls because mcnabb was trying to appease him...im sure thats what donovan was doing because they were so close and donovan cared so much about his happiness....im thinking it has a tad bit more to do with the fact that TO was that much better than all the other wr's and was the only one getting open

but perhaps youre right...and with TO not holding reggie back anymore he will blow up this year...only the games will tell whether reggie is a true #1 or not

[mpmcgraw]

Maybe TO having his own section in Andy's playbook had something to do with it too.

Nah.

[SD_Eagle5]

you honestly believe that TO was getting balls because mcnabb was trying to appease him...

Especially in the early part of the season I thought it was blatantly obvious that McNabb was trying to force too many balls TO's way to make him happy. Once TO got shown the bench Brown stepped up. The whole #1 thing is overblown, I just want to see an effective WR who can occassionally stretch the field.

[ice grillin you]

and why did he have that section

a. because andy felt sorry for him
b. he snuck in novacare one night and replaced reggies section with his own
c. he was better than all the other eagle wr's combined
d. donovan loved him so much he wouldnt play unless TO got a certain amount of balls per game
