The 2007 Offseason Thread

[ice grillin you]

There aren't many people I wouldn't take over Reid.  I'm not a Gruden fan, but I'd swap him in without hesitation if I could.  Reid needs to go coach in the football league where character counts instead of talent, where timeouts come in baker's dozens, where the system is more important than the players..BYU for instance.  And never come back to the Eagles.

exactly....thats all anyone is saying

[Diomedes]

And of course, Gruden's famous "blame player Z when things go wrong" technique.

Speaking of which, I'd like to comment that the jury has reported back on Gruden v. Keyshawn and found in favor of Keyshawn.

Still productive as hell, still loved by his teamates, still blocking better than most tight ends.  Gruden, still losing and making funny faces.

keyshawn has produced but i wouldnt call him a winner over anyone

tampa got rid of keyshawn made playoffs

dallas made playoffs got keyshawn then missed playoffs then got rid of keyshawn and made playoffs

carolina made nfc championship got keyshawn and missed playoffs

[Diomedes]

take your reasoning and shove it

I luv me sum Keyshawn

[ice grillin you]

as do i

keyshawn - irvin - deion - 

gimme all the ish talkers...all teams needs players like that...gives you that extra attitude and confidence that puts you over the top...its exactly what TO gave the eagles in 04...too bad hes the ultimate worst teammate to go along with all his positives

[Diomedes]

I'd also just point out that, though what you said above is true, it does not follow that Keyshawn was why each team failed to make the playoffs (or without him, made them in the case of Dallas).  He was a bright spot for each of those teams, not a problem.

Donnie Edwards is gonna get show the door in march, I'd love for the birds to get him. 

[Munson]

so he doesn't get credit for taking Dungy's team to the Super Bowl, but he also doesn't get credit for the Raiders team that he played in the Super Bowl?  makes sense.

Uhh, the same Raiders team that had the Eagles made the Super Bowl, they would have CRUSHED?

Dude, IGY has bashed Andy Reid for getting credit for taking over a team with a great defense and making them a Super Bowl contender. John Gruden, who IGY is parading as the 2nd coming, did the EXACT SAME THING, but actually inherited a BETTER defense then what Reid got, on top of a better offense, and won the Super Bowl with them. Since then, and before that, WHAT IN THE HELL HAS HE ACCOMPLISHED THAT ANDY REID HASN'T?

Absolutely nothing.

RJS, I'm not saying I'll take Reid over Gruden. I'm saying I'll take neither.

John Gruden, who IGY is parading as the 2nd coming

link?...if you can find one comment ive made where i even said he was a great coach ill never post here again...but alas you wont be able to...youre slowly drifting from homertastic idiot to parody poster

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

IGY doesn't believe in the first coming, let alone the 2nd.

[SunMo]

Munson's logic is so twisted and convoluted that it's hard to even follow sometimes

I'm a little confused with that myself, the hypothetical scenario posted was that if Reid stepped down than Gruden would be interested. No one is saying Gruden is 'the 2nd coming', what his supporters on this board are saying is that he's not a 'bad' coach as has been said. The guy has great credentials, is familiar with the city, runs a similar offense, and if Reid were to step down I think we'd be extremely lucky to get a guy like him in here.

[Seabiscuit36]

I think Gruden can coach a game, and has come up big in big situations
