Lito Sheppard - He Once Was An Eagle

[ice grillin you]

yeah its not like theyve made the playoffs recently where their game would be guranteed of being on

[Feva]

Yup... they've got a no name coach, a QB who can barely tie his shoes, a WR who can't catch a cold... and being that they play in the northeast... the media wants no part of them.

Nope, nothing about that team screams, "Put me on national TV."

[Feva]

Where exactly did I say the best player shouldn't start?  It's irrelevant anyway because Samuel is the better player, but I'm pretty sure I never said anything about starting the guy who makes more money.

Huh?  You said just that in your previous post...

you wouldnt introduce him as the nickel youd introduce him as one of the top free agents on the market and announce a spirited competition at cornerback

You'd give a guy a fifty seven million dollar contract and then expect him to battle it out for a starting job?

[Rome]

I didn't say start him because he made more money, dingus.  That's what IGY presumed I meant.  I didn't.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

So, you're saying Myers/Eaton should be 1/2 in the Phillies' rotation based on salary?

That's ridiculous, Rome.  You're so wrong!  WRONG.

[ice grillin you]

what hes saying has some merit if like i said previously they are replacing joselio hanson with samuel...not so much when he was given a pro bowlers spot unchallenged

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Lito wasn't a Pro Bowler in 2007, was he?  NFL = not for long

[Eagles_Legendz]

Even if Sheppard and Brown run circles around Samuel at TC, there is absolutely 0% chance Samuel won't be starting week 1--it would be an absolute PR nightmare to have your $57 million man as your 3rd CB.

So what did you mean?

the point is when healthy hes a pro bowl caliber player

[Rome]

Samuel was signed to start.  They didn't pay him a king's ransom to compete for a job.  Expecting him to come in and battle Lito or anyone else for a starting job is retarded beyond all reason because he wouldn't have signed in Philly if that was going to be the case.

And, of course, he would be substituted for a lot more and used in the slot and in different positions if it's better for the team... but yes, he would be listed in the starting lineup regardless.  Even if he somehow ended up playing fewer downs than Sheppard or Brown.

Yes, that is the point.

well when lito gets hurt samuel takes his spot...pretty sure we all know that...and we know thats why they signed samuel...and i dont think anyone is saying thats a horrible thing...hes a pretty damn good insurance policy

the problem is lito isnt hurt and lost his spot before a down of football was ever played...and they wonder why hes pissed

[Rome]

Do any of you idiots for a second think that the Eagles thought Lito would still be here?  Honestly?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I've been told to think that Joey Banner controls the universe and thus can foresee all!

He probably even predicted the unnecessary exclamation point in the previous sentence.
