Kevin Curtis, Mormon & Philadelphia Eagle

Prove me wrong, whiteness.

No doubt dook is going to have to earn the fans' respect, as he should.

Eagles fans bought Jeremy Bloom jerseys by the thousands.

Just food for thought.

so in the eagles eyes the only thing that prevented them from resigning stallworth was his injury problem?

doesnt make sense since donvan seems to get hurt a lot and so do other players on the team (both RBs).

was it his drug problem? again makes no sense since they have had and kept players with issues.


i mean its a good pickup considering what we had but i just cant be happy about this when we could have had a much more proven and a younger WR for pretty much the same money.

at least this means b johnson was signed just for ST as he should have been.

i wish we had the luxury of drafting a WR in a deep WR draft but im guessing the draft will be primarily for the D, especially the high picks.

I'm getting to this thread kinda late, sorry if this has been covered.

I wasn't huge on getting Stallworth back.  Maybe I just like Kool-aid, but I agree with Heckert - 38 catches over 12 games doesn't justify a huge contract.  Yeah, yeah, what the Patriots gave him wasn't huge, but the second year sure as hell is.  And isn't it possible that the reports that Rosenhaus farged us are accurate?

I know very little about Curtis, other than he was the Greg Lewis of St Loo.  He played behind two HOFers (I'll go farther than IGY).  My understanding is he has great speed, and hasn't missed any games to injury.  If he's as fast as Stallworth, which lets be honest is all he brought to the table, and is more likely to stay healthy (the substance abuse stuff is all bullshtein, IMO), then this is a good signing.  We essentially broke even.

The ability of the FO to do talent eval is a little dicey (see Kearse, Jevon and Howard, Darren), but I like the signing.  It sure beats the hell out of Baskett as the #2.

Stallworth was a very good big play receiver for this team. If Curtis can do the same, then I'll be happy.

Curtis, reportedly, has a lot of speed. However, looking at this receiving stats the past two years he only had longs in the low 40s. I'm just hoping he is utilized in order to take advantage of that speed, and that he will not be running a bunch of underneath routes and working the middle. That is what Avant and Baskett are for.

Brown/Curtis/Avant/Baskett combination isn't too bad. The group has more potential now. And I agree, it gives me less reservation about the receivers. Now, the Eagles just need a good short yardage back and can focus on Defense, which is a much greater concern for this team at this juncture. If the Eagles don't use the first 3 picks of the draft on either LBs or DBs (because I don't think I can stand another DL drafted in the first round, and even though the Eagles need DL help, the track record is to draft undersized linemen anyways, so it would probably be a wasted pick), I'll be annoyed. Put it this way; as long as a OL is not drafted, it is at least a step in the right direction.

It's better than nothing, but it's not really good.

[methdeez]

somebody convince Lance Briggs to convert...ASAP

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lance_Briggs

The Philadelphia Eagles would like to convert Briggs to the The Church of Jesus Christ of Ladder-day Saints. They feel it would obviously increase the odds he'd agree to a reasonable contract.

I love the 'Ladder-day' part too. Couldn't you just see mormons having some crazy ceremony on ladder day?

[Phanatic]

One of the NFL's fastest players, certainly in terms of straight-line speed

If Mcnabb can get Baskett a top 10 play of the year then this really might not be bad at all. 


All things considered I think Curtis = Stallworth at this point.

Two teams have let Stallworth walk rather then resign him for some reason. hmm

[Eaglez]

I think everyone likes Stallworth because he has shown that he can get open. REALLY open very far down the field. I mean the separation he got on some plays was pretty darn good by NFL standards.

Curtis, however, hasn't really shown that ability. Stallworth has proven to Philly fans that he can get open for big plays. Curtis, while having the assets to burn someone deep, hasn't really displayed that the past 2 seasons (I think in his 2nd year in the league Curtis had a 80+ yard play). Moreover, even though Stallworth only had 38 catches, he had 700+ yards. When he did catch the ball, it almost always went for a long way.

You poor, starved bastiches. Five pages on James Thrash. Five pages on the Eagles adding another #4 receiver to compliment their developing #3 Reggie Brown.

[Rome]

1. We admitted we were powerless over Concretefield - that our lives had become unmanageable.

2. Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves (Joe Banner) could restore us to sanity.

3. Made a decision to turn our will and our lives over to the care of Dave Spadaro as we understood Him.

4. Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves (and found ourselves sadly lacking).

5. Admitted to Jeffrey Lurie, to ourselves, and to another human beings the exact nature of our wrongs.

6. Were entirely ready to have Andy Reid remove all these defects of character.

7. Humbly asked Andy to remove our shortcomings (to which he replied, "time's yours").

8. Made a list of all free agents we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.

9. Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would cause us to miss Eagles Live.

10. Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong, promptly denied it.

11. Sought though sarcasm and derision to improve our conscious contact with Angelo Cataldi as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to Eagles fans and to practice these principles in all our affairs.

[Diomedes]

I see what you did there.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I think people are missing the big picture here.  If the Eagles add Kevin Curtis to the WR's but only Ron Dayne to the RB's, then Reid will feel justified in passing no less than 60% of the time again.

Dammit.
