Eagles 2009 Draft Thread

[Kenzinger]

it was just a matter of time before kenzo pulled out the familiar tune of the homer "they know way more than you do"...its a little diddy from way back in like 1999 when banner first pulled his swirly lollipop on everyone

banner is a better business man than i am

and andy reid is a better coach than i am

but they def dont know more than me when it comes to player evaluation and how the roster is managed

not counting retards like cole and munson (who dont know anything about anything) and blind homers like kenzinger (who are semmingly intelligent but have never really watched football the way you need to because of their blind faith in the front office to do evrything right) any of use know as much as reid when it comes to player personnel

i cant speak for everyone but i know for a fact ive been more right than reid on draft picks and free agents...not saying reid is always wrong and im always right but my hit % on players would easily be higher than his if i had my own scouting department and access to the film he does

I don't have blind faith in the front office to always do everything right, but I'm more than a little sick of listening to the fanbase whine and cry about the lack of a mythical "#1 wideout" who's 6'8, runs a 3.75 forty yard dash, has a schlong down to his knees and farts lightning.

There are really only a handful of truly dominant wide receivers in this league and Anquan Boldin isn't one of them.

I tuck it into my belt when I get inappropriate wood.

Oxymoron

[Eagaholic]

its just a built in excuse for the teams that didnt get him

teams dont spends weeks entertaining offers for the fun of it especially leading up to the draft....they have more important things to do

now the price of draft picks and his contract maybe have been to steep for anyone to pay but they definitely were shopping him

not every player in every sport thats put on the market gets moved

It's more like just a built in excuse to placate Boldin that in the end was too transparent.

Titans coach Jeff Fisher says he was told the Cardinals aren't interested in moving Anquan Boldin.
"We left several messages with them (Friday) night but they never returned our calls," said Fisher. "We didn't get in touch with them until before the draft (Saturday), and they said that they weren't interested in moving him." At this point, the most likely scenario is Boldin staying in Arizona.

Coach Ken Whisenhunt said the team's goal was never to trade Anquan Boldin but to "make sure a blockbuster wasn't available."
"We were not ever taking a proactive move with respect to a trade," GM Rod Graves said, "but we were certainly willing to listen, and in just about all cases we didn't get a response back." The Cardinals have changed direction and now seemed focused on keeping Boldin.

BTW some teams spend an awful lot of time playing games and putting up smoke screens leading up to the draft, it's all part of the game

fishers flat out wrong...this isnt a case of john clayton reporting that boldin was available...the cardinals said openly in the media that they were taking offers

clearly their price and the price of boldins contract demands were too high for anyone to offer up enough

and how is it a smokescreen by offering to trade boldin....its not like they were telling people they were trading up to four to take sanchez or some draft bullshtein



i dont even care that they didnt get boldin...they have had a very good offseason....my only point is and how this boldin stuff even started is because people were trying to say they have gone pedal to the metal all out for a superbowl next year and you cant say that

So you believe the Cardinals over Jeff Fisher??  And Whisenhunt himself said they were only listening just in case there was a blockbuster offer, otherwise they never intended to trade him.

How comical. When no such WR is available thats all the fans get to hear from the team..."Oh there was no one out there"....and now that there were at least 2 available its "Trust the FO to select a rookie who might turn out to be better down the road".

Boldin has been a dominant #1 WR his whole career.

[QB Eagles]

I hate WRs wearing numbers in the teens.

i literally just typed that

I liked the old way.

[PhillyPhreak54]

Not that old...did he get an exemption or was that before they had the 1-19 was only for K, P and QB?

[QB Eagles]

The policy didn't go into effect until '73, when Carmichael was already a player. All players were grandfathered in. There was an older (and less enforced) system in place since the 50's in which flankers had numbers in the teens.
