What does that mean exactly?

How would a fan hold them accountable?

A good start would be to finally admit they're pieces of shtein, instead of saying weak bull like, "they better be right". They're not right. They're trying to maximize their long-term profit, not trying to win the Super Bowl. Get a clue. Once you've done that, we can talk about the next steps towards holding them accountable... but something tells me you'll never get step 1.

Answer my question.

If you truly beleive that...why do you follow them? If you don't beleive their goal is to win a championship...then you would "know" that they never will...so really, you are just in it to bitch at it. Is that holding them accountable?

You can either answer my question...or just wait a page or two goes by in this thread and ignore it all together.

That's probably the only way to truly do it. But no one here actually does that.

Not no one, dook.

Yeah... because I'm really the type to dodge inane questions out of "fear"...

I follow the Eagles because I'm from the area, because I learned the sport of football by watching the likes of Randall Cunningham and Keith Byars and Reggie White, and because any attempts to disavow NFL football altogether or find a new team would be completely futile. I tried and tried to believe that the team was simply avoiding the huge dollar splurges to avoid mortgaging the future, in hopes of winning multiple Super Bowls. The one off-season they truly tried to make a difference in free agency, they almost made it... but ended up getting burned. So, realizing they can sell out the Linc with a "competitive" product year after year, they've now chosen to avoid any such risks by only signing their home-bred "high-character" guys to semi-lucrative long-term deals and avoiding the fray of free agency. This would work to win them a Super Bowl if they didn't also draft conservatively, but they do. They've consistently avoided the top-end talent to draft unspectacular athletes, whether it be because the guy has above-average intelligence, or because he's a Mormon, or because he's the whitest black man in the draft.

I follow them because being an Eagles fan is in my blood. I follow them because this ownership and this front office will someday pass, and there will be new chances for success. I follow them because if a couple of things fall the right way, there is still that slim shred of hope year after year.

I don't, however, follow them because the current decision makers at the NovaCare Complex are doing everything in their power to bring a Lombardi Trophy home. That much is apparent.

You still did not answer the question Mr Rosenhaus. How does a fan tangibly hold them accountable? What are you doing to hold them accountable?

so again im left to wonder...what was the point of getting stallworth in the first place? i mean they new from then prolly that they would not resign him and even claimed that even without him they were fine at WR...yet still traded a pick away?

it really confuses me when a team that loves to pass so much constantly refuses to provide its QB with some star talent. we did it once in TO and we know they are never going to do it again. all that would be fine if we realized we should run more often but we do not do that either.

whatever the offense should be fine even as is...not anything explosive but like they played without stallworth in...servicable. it would be nice if they tried to improve the D now. the D has a lot more holes to plug in.

Diomedes · March 11, 2007, 10:41:20 AM

I follow them because I like the color green, and because they are named after a big bad ass raptor. That shtein is dope.

Not gonna get pissy about Stallworth being let go. It's more of the same from these jokers, and we all knew it was gonna happen. The fourth round pick would've very likely been wasted anyway, so I'm not even gonna cry about that.

I'm really rooting for Reggie Brown to step up big now...it's my only hope. I don't think he can get it done in the number one role, but there ain't much else to hope on, so there it is.

FF may not have said what HE is going to do, but I already answered this question.

It's all about the Benjamins. No jerseys. No tickets purchased from the ticket office or ticket agencies. Etc.

I'll do what I can without completely pulling my support from the team as a whole, because as I said, that is completely impossible for me.

Well ok then. You keep telling people to do what you will not do yourself. That's on the road to credibilty.

Ha! You're so full of shtein, it's ridiculous. I'll do what I can. It's a lot better than being an insufferable homer and always looking for the pot of gold at the end of the shtein rainbow. Moron.

I said all along that if the money for Stallworth was outrageous then I could see them begging off and going elsewhere.

Not only wasn't the money outrageous, it was downright reasonable considering the financial climate in the NFL.

The Eagles chose to go cheap. Again. The Patriots, who seem intent on crowding their trophy case even further, chose not to.

GOLD STANDARD.
