So Duckett is good and Dayne sucks, right?  OK, I'm caught up....

They had identical stats. One of them just got more carries. And the other is 6 years younger. But you know, the old man is definitely the better choice of the two.

Coming off of another injury there is no doubt he is better.

I would think Duckett is better than Dayne, but that doesn't say much.

Bunkley, you remind of Roberto Duran in the infamous "No Mas Fight" against Sugar Ray Leonard--except you havent given up yet. I urge your corner to throw in the towel

ease up on pusing the "post" button until you really comb your thoughts with a fine tooth comb

Of course Davis isn't an Eagle, but you are mad that the taterskins got Duckett, like we could've gotten him too. I'm assuming that's why you are mad.

First of all, the Falcons have the same system that Denver has. RBs thrive in the system. If you don't thrive in Denver or Atlanta, then something must be wrong. Duckett won't be as good in Washington as he was in Atlanta, and he's going to be the 2nd or 3rd RB, if Portis is there.

Secondly, just say for a second that Duckett is better than Davis, even though I don't think he is. You'd have to give up a pick for Duckett. A fairly high pick. A 3rd or 4th. Is Duckett that much better than Davis where he's worth a 3rd or 4th rounder, as to where Davis can be had for no picks or players to give up at all?

Faaaaarg no.

I'm in want of a RB or a WR just as much as everyone here. But we don't have to get stupid and overpay for a WR who would only be here one year(yes the Eagles wouldn't have re-signed Lelie) or a RB who would be had for a 3rd or 4th, when we can get equal production for giving up nothing at all.

The season is over, we didn't get Duckett and Lelie, and worst of all they went to NFC opponents!

For once, IGY knows what he's talking about.

Stephen Davis is better than Duckett, so I'm not that mad about that.

I really don't care that much about Lelie either. He wasn't worth a 3rd rounder.

All in all it doesn't hurt the Eagles and doesn't help the Falcons, taterskins or Broncos.

Davis, circa 2000, was a better back.

Davis, circa 2006, is done.

What was stopping us from getting Duckett? A draft pick? We have plenty and needed a big back.

No, they're not similar. What other back has 'thrived' in Atlanta besides Dunn?

Last I checked Washington had a pretty good O-line and running game, no reason he won't do just as well running the ball in their system.

My posts are part frustration, part sarcasm, and part seriousness, and part denial.

I am frustrated that this team feels no urgency to address RB or WR. I just can't express how angry I am with this team and that regard. It's just laughable sometimes. This team has contended for a Superbowl 4 years in a row, yet it seems like they haven't the slightest farging clue of certain aspects of football.

They don't give a shtein about OLBs, they don't give a shtein about RBs, they don't give a shtein about WRs. Yet they pay McNabb a billion dollars a year for 50 years and get him no help.

Get your your cheap asses and get your FRANCHISE some god damn help.

At the same time, I'm not going to jump off the bridge. There are other options out there than Duckett and Lelie. I'm just extremely frustrated right now. Extremely.
