Eagles 2009 Draft Thread

[General_Failure]

Andy Reid's game-day coaching is absolutely awful and I think he should be fired. I also think the lack of talent at wideout has seriously hurt us over the past few years, although right now I think our WR corps is pretty much middle of the road and we could win a Super Bowl with the wideouts we have, if we ran a more balanced offense.

You know as well as I do that will never happen.

ahaha

ff is so cute when he gets mad isnt he

i dunno about all that.  but he's damn sexy when he's got my burrito in his mouth. 

[Kenzinger]

hes also offseason champ every year which seems to mean a lot to you

of course the eagles could win the superbowl next year...so could 15 other teams..im not even sure what that means

You're the one who seems infatuated with signing every big name possible, Pugsly.

quote me anywhere on any thread where i showed an infatuation with signing "every big name possible"

you dont know me dook...and if you take your headpiece out of banners ass for a second youd see that while i would love to have boldin i never once railed on the team for not getting him...im using boldin as an example of not going all out to win

id actually be suprised if you even really watch games...your argument for everything is trust banner inc. they know what they are doing and you heathens dont...i cant really recall to many things youve said that have to do with actual football...you may have stared longer into joe's swirly lolipop than anyone on earth not named spadaro

mack will never ever be as good as boldin

This is probably true and an idiotic bunch of garbage all at once.  Nice.

cant be true (btw it is 100% true) and garbage

You're backing up this argument about the Eagles not doing everything to win a championship with NADA. I keep telling you that a team that's not committed to winning doesn't sign Asante Samuel and make Jason Peters the highest paid LT in football. Your counterpoint is that they failed to land a receiver who apparently wasn't available for anything less than a king's ransom.

I don't agree with the Eagles all the time, but I don't jump to the conclusion that they don't really want to win because they signed a LT to a gazillion bucks but failed to pry Boldin off the Cardinals. Attributing ulterior motives to the FO is pointless because it's the kind of thing fans can complain about because it's totally unprovable.

Criticize their approach - fine. They haven't won a Super Bowl so that's fair. Claiming they're just in it to get to the playoffs - as if there's some kind of magic formula where you spend X number of dollars to get just that far and no further - is IMO kind of dumb.

I wasn't and am not currently even remotely mad.   I don't remember the last time I've called anyone a "bitch" seriously.

Don't get me wrong, IGY's still the blowhard to end all blowhards.  It's endearing, though, and only makes me love his pasty ass that much more.


I didn't know Sarge was Mexican.

[Tomahawk]

Via Hector, he has a lot of little mexicans swimming near his colon which makes Sarge at least half-mexicano

I do get it.

I think the team has a rigid philosophy of how to compete for a Super Bowl. That involves weighing some positions (CB, OL) more than others (WR, RB), not overpaying for veteran players, constantly rebuilding with youth, signing young players to long-term deals, and staying in the playoff picture on a consistent basis, with the hopes that one day everything breaks right and the team wins a championship.

I don't necessarily agree with that philosophy, but I think it's what the Eagles believe gives them the best chance of winning a Super Bowl.

You think the team has some magical mathematical formula that guarantees them X number of dollars get you into the playoffs so there's no need to spend anymore than that.

I think that's kind of dumb for a few reasons, mainly because it's an exercise in futility, unless you can secretly read minds and know what Banner and Lurie are thinking. We will agree to disagree on this one.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

The Eagles actually have a similar philosophy to the Steelers and Patriots, two damn successful franchises in recent memory.  The thing is, though... those teams can, like, draft.  The Steelers took the QB that made the clutch throw and the WR that make the amazing fingertip catch to win the Super Bowl.  The Eagles took the QB that made the clutch throw-up, the TE that fumbled into the end zone, and the WR that recovered the fumble in the end zone and thanked his hands for being so great... after the divisional playoff.

Luckily, the Eagles are wising up and starting to poach players from the Patriots as they get worth more than a "team player."  If they could just nab a few linebackers from the Steelers, I could smell a Super Bowl coming.

Nobody is saying that though. What they're saying is the ownership could do more but decides against it. Mostly because they're stupid - frugality is just a byproduct of their stupidity.

Kenny--youre continually writing responses the size of the new testament trying to convince a group of heads in here to think differently. It will not work

have your own opinion fine--but just remember CF is not puppy dogs, fire trucks and ice cream front office supporters so try and stay in line with a negative grip and you'll do just swell

[General_Failure]

This place could use some puppy dogs and ice cream.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

puppy dogs, fire trucks and ice cream

Blatantly stolen, but I'll take it as a compliment.

[Sgt PSN]

[ice grillin you]
