The 2007 Offseason Thread

Why am I the only one that thinks having Brown as the best receiver on this team is a horrible, horrible idea? Is there some thrill of excitement that everyone else gets when RBs catches pass after pass in the flat for 6 yards?

ur not the only one. i think EVERYONE thinks having stallworth would have been much better than curtis. stallworth is proven.

but considering the WRs we have had in the past...i feel a lil better with curtis in than with just brown.

and as cole said....DEFENSE is the real worry.

[General_Failure]

Instead of three #3 WRs, the team has four. That's really going to help the defense when they go three and out.

[The BIGSTUD]

You don't think this offense is going to put up points? The receivers aren't the world's best, but they are good enough. We have arguably the best offensive line in the NFL, a solid TE, a great RB, and McNabb... who's health is a question. If McNabb is ready to go, then this offense will be absolutely fine. If he isn't then it isn't a secret where this team is headed.

Stallworth is a more proven receiver than Curtis, but Stallworth isn't some star either. He was an outcast of a Saints team that didn't want him, and when he hit free agency, no teams ran out and offered him huge cash. Again, I'd rather have had Stallworth, but it isn't like we are replacing Chad Johnson with Curtis. Stallworth wasn't all that amazing. We'll see how Curtis does. He has already shown flashes when starting with the Rams. It isn't a huge strech that he can come in and be a good receiver.

and you really think Reggie Brown is a #3 receiver? He isn't a pro bowler, but I look at him as a very good #2.

Come on, you know we all can't wait to see that Holcomb to Curtis pass!

youre not...but for some reason normally intelligent people on the board are in line behind the possibly the dumbest football fan of all time

the wr's are good enough to go...IF everything goes right...10-6 in the division and then get ousted against better competition in the playoffs...but let westbrook go down or mcnabb not be ready or at 100% and then the wr's will be exposed for the brutally average crop that they are...this spread it around garbage dont work unless you have tom brady at qb....you need a number one wr...but for some reason many eagle fans have bought into reids smoke and mirror version of the west coast offense

the new thing to say is now "the offense is gonna get their points"...well yeah when you throw 150 times a game and have a good qb of course you will...but the goal here is not to score 23 pts a game its to win a superbowl

until he proves otherwise kevin curtis is greg lewis...im failry certain lewis would get numbers behind holt and bruce in a mike martz offense...now i wanna see curtis get numbers and make a difference in a spread it around andy reid offense

nobody is buying into reids tricks....i think we all know our WR corps is not amazing. it isnt even great. maybe just good and even that is pushing it. but as a team i worry about the D a lot more. the average offense can be redeemed if we have a bad ass DEFENSE.

[ice grillin you]

i agree but they dont have even a very good d much less the 2000 ravens

This really is the long and the short of the problem right here.

I'll throw this prediction out there: Curtis will have more catches this season than Stallworth had last season.

Of course, his YPC won't be as high and he'll probably play in every game too.

[rjs246]

I predict that 45 year old ladies will swoon every time he takes his helmet off.

I also think it is a bad idea, but I have just given up hope at obtaining a great WR for a long time. 

[SD_Eagle5]

I wasn't home to see it myself, but apparently John Clark said Emmons wants to come back... 

I'd rather keep bowtie than have Emmons back.

[phattymatty]

since i've been a football fan, i've never seen someone  get so consistantly wide open as stallworth did last year.  over and over, there was no one within ten yards of him.  curtis won't do that.

[rjs246]

It's all about the system!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
