Donte' Stallworth

[PhillyandBCEagles]

The Eagles best offensive games came with Stallworth out of the lineup last year. The offense will be fine without him. He was never the #1 priority this offseason.

if you care about wins vs green bay and sf in september then you wont miss him...if you care about wins in january (and hopefully february) you need good wr's

What about wins over a playoff team and rival like Dallas without him? OR putting up 24 points on New Orleans?

We need to be able to stop the run. We can score points without Stallworth. It's the inability to stop that run that ultimately sank this team last year.

You're right, I'm glad that instead of spending money on Stallworth we went out and picked up a fatass DT and a couple stud LBs to beef up our run D.

again in the regular season maybe...against tough teams in the playoffs no...see carolina in the pre TO year as a perfect example

I think this group of current WRs as is (Brown, Baskett, Avant, Lewis...) is head and shoulders above the group that lost the carolina game. Not saying the current group couldnt be better. But just comparing the two as of right now is just kindling for your hyperbole firestorms.

Holla!

[ice grillin you]

im not comparing anything

the WR's suck ass now and they sucked ass then...if it makes you feel better to say the current group is better than the 03 group then ill say it...

but my point was and is that they dont have good enough WR's to make a superbowl much less win one (unless they trade for tom brady this offseason)

not sure where the hyperbole is in anything i said

[SD_Eagle5]

it doesnt take a rocket scientist to see the eagles wanted no part of stallworth


with mcnabbs health up in the air i honestly believe the eagles are scrapping the 07 season and gonna make a run in 08 when they are hoping mcnabb will be 100% again and they have a ton of money in the 08 offseason to spend

That looks like the plan, they're selling us Gocong, an improved Bunkley, McNabb and Kearse back etc. 10-6 cause I think the East will be that bad. This offseason is reminding me a lot of the 02-03 offseason of Simoneau and trading up for McDougle as the big moves.

just look at the REAL GOLD STANDARD, the Pats get Wes Walker who looked pretty good last year considering the QB mess in Miami, they signed Stallworth on a 1 year deal (no way they pay him the 11 mil the 2nd year!) and today they signed Kelley Washington from the Bengals. This is a team that saw some weaknesses and went out and got players to get back to the big game.  Oh and they got Adalius Thomas at LB.

brady like mcnabb is 30 and the patriots like the eagles are close to the superbowl but unlike the eagles the patriots arent going to waste prime years of bradys career...they want more rings and they want them now

[SunMo]

yup, they don't want to have to HOPE that things break perfect for them to win a Super Bowl, they are making it so things have to to break perfect for them not to win one

[ice grillin you]

yup...and most importantly even if they dont win it they at least went above and beyond in trying to win one

[mussa]

the Pat's just pretty much secured a spot for them in super bowl 42. good/great upgrades. Marony carrying the load. Stallworth as number one deep threat, ala, Branch. Wes Welker will prob mainly be used as punt/kick returner, but looking at their WR corps, could prob use him.  For them theWR position is not a problem. They have a running game and they have the best QB in the league in Tom Brady, who can make a Jabar a stud.  They have great coaches, if not the best in Belicheck.  They sured up some spots on D, all before the draft. We all know what kind of players they get in the draft. Legit starters. GOLD STANDARD.

That's the most infuriating thing of all.  They seem to think that McNabb is going to play forever.  They call this man "the franchise", give him $100 million and for all but 2 years of his career with the Eagles... they've supplied him with some of the worst receiving corps in the league.

In a pass first offense.

Donovan needs to get out while he can.

[phattymatty]

you're all forgetting reche caldwell, he carried that team last year.

[Feva]

yup, they don't want to have to HOPE that things break perfect for them to win a Super Bowl, they are making it so things have to to break perfect for them not to win one

The most beautiful thing about what the Pats are doing is that they're going out and improving knowing full well that they have two 1st round picks this year.  But, instead of relying on those draft picks (which carry uncertainty) they're using them to compliment what they've already done.


Btw... how long until someone comes along with the witty "Why don't you all become Partiots fans" line?

[SunMo]

good point Feva...imagine if the Eagles had two 1st rounders in the draft, they wouldn't even be brining people into visit

[Sgt PSN]

good point Feva...imagine if the Eagles had two 1st rounders in the draft, they'd farg up twice in the 1st round.
