Brian Dawkins, ex-Eagle

[Seabiscuit36]

only after you chief

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Sorry, I am not your leader.  Although, I'd be glad to drink the non-poisoned Kool Aid to trick you losers into doing the right thing for this world.

[ice grillin you]

there is no dawkins issue...theres a banner issue...dawkins is no more infuriating a move than the howie roseman aqppt....shtein in my eyes it less agregious...but again it has nothing to do with dawkins which is what most people dont get

[reese125]

Ive read enough of these Dawkins responses to make my eyes bleed but I will say this:

players that exemplify leadership, heart and dedication above and beyond expectations of fans and most importantly management for that long of a tenure-- need to be rewarded no matter the circumstance (especially with what they have financially)

thats just respect in life and business--period

lol, there are still people defending the FO for letting a lifetime Eagle and locker room influence leave for 9 million dollars when they have 43 under the cap to spend...farging morons.

Again, do you actually think it will hurt the team on the field, or are you all about the floofy "heart" and "influence" garbage?  Christ, you can get a mascot a lot cheaper than $9 million.

I would love to see the Eagles spend all that cap money on guys that are difference-makers on the field in a good way.  Dawkins was making as many big mistakes as he was big plays.

not that the money means anything...it would not affect the team in the least has they spent the 9 mil on dawk...but his locker room presence his tutoring of a second year safety alone was worth that much when youre 43 mil under...and i was critical as anyone with dawkins play early in the year last season but do you actually think there isnt a good chance that demps is worse than dawkins next year...and i mean just on the field...forget all the intangibles you lose with him...

combine the fact that there is no known replacement for him the pr hit the fact that hes an eagle legend and his leadership and theres no possible way you can defend letting him go...unless youre completely in the bag for the FO

I dont really remember anyone here pointing them out during the season. The only I remember of the top of my head are when he was left one on one with TO in the first Cowboys game, one on one with Burress in the first Giants game, and against the Seahawks when Robinson whizzed by Lito and then make a great move on Dawkins.

But yes Dawkins was holding the D back.

incomprehensible.

[General_Failure]

I like to look at it this way. Dawkins, Runyan, Tra, and McNabb are all over 30 now. Westbrook barely showed any signs of life last year. They're rebuilding.

Okay, but now you're going to say they really needed to keep Dawkins around. No. Somebody who can make a farging play and has a future needs to step up and put the big boy pants on.

With this in mind, we can look forward to Tra coming back if he's cheap, and McNabb gone by the end of next year. I will go so far as to suggest they'll look to trade Westbrook.

he had a couple really bad games and he isnt close to what he used to be...but he still had a good year overall...christ if youre gonna get rid of everyone who has a bad game the team wouldnt have any linebackers and mcnabb would have been gone long ago...if he wanted 20 million guaranteed and there really was a salary cap in the nfl and the eagles were against said cap then i could see letting him go...but as it stood there wasnt a single solitary reason for him not to be on this team

This team has linebackers?

You know I have always said that if the player is not performing I have no issue with letting them go BUT only if they are replacing them with equal or superior talent.

I am not so sure Dawkins had terrible games or a bad year, as it is ppl just say that but never point out examples. But even then ok so he had some bad games. Ok so they should replace him. Cool. But not with a rookie who did not even see the field much last season. This team already has too many zesty draft picks starting simply because they were selected by the Eagles FO.

If you get rid of Dawkins at least sign Wilson. Or use a higher pick in the draft to select more of a sure thing. Same thing with McNabb. I love the guy but if they got rid of him for a better QB or say some crazy trade where they get 2 first round picks in return I would not mind. But this FO just replaces old good players and fails to find equal talent.

Oh and apologies to Reese in advance for the novel I just wrote.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

So everyone who is ok with Dawkins leaving is automatically defending the FO for making just a wildly irrational decision, right?  There is absolutely no viable justification for letting Dawkins get paid somewhere else?

Please quote the above and go on the record.  Thanks.
