Jeremy Maclin - Philadelphia Eagle

[reese125]

dude blew his achilles shore--what are you talking about nobody wanted him? You blow an achilles as a receiver at that stage of your career...sinara

[Sgt PSN]

of all the things that we could be talking/arguing about, you guys go on about todd effing pinkston.  my thoughts because i know you care. 

good reciever best suited to be a role player/complimentary reciever to more talented players.  bad in press coverage.  good height, good speed, decent hands, avg/below avg route runner.  helps stretch the field. 

the biggest problem with pinkston isn't even with pinkston.  it's the fact that reid kept running him out there with other recievers who weren't significantly better than him.  the recievers as a whole, were pedestrian at best.  to blame pinkston for being a starter for 4 years is rediculous.   blame the coach and gm who refused to put better recievers on the field. 

and during the 04 year, pinkston played the #2 role fairly well.  he was also having a very nice super bowl before tearing his achilles.  he was continuously among the top recievers in ypc and only had 2 fumbles in 184 career catches and only lost one of them.  he wasn't a scoring machine but 116 of his 184 catches went for first downs.   

he had a couple of boneheaded mistakes but all in all, he was a servicable reciever who was asked to do more than he was able to.

Didn't he blow out the Achilles in training camp following the super bowl?

all you need to know about Pinkston is that Ricky Manning Jr. called him out as a bitch in 03 and then made him his bitch during the biggest game of the year.

I laugh at the pitiful fan who defends Pinkston. Huurrrahhhhh! The Philadelphia Eagles no. 1 receiver!! Andy Reid should be bitched slapped for even trying to pass him off as a legitimate wr at his press conferences.

[LBIggle]

pinkston was a piece of shtein.

[ice grillin you]

pinky led philadelphia eagle wr's in receptions for the 2000's

again he led an nfl franchise in most receptions for a wr for an entire decade

if you think he was a piece of shtein or the worst wr in team history or even that he sucked then you dont know football

what he was was a brutally average wr totally out of place on a team that was pathetically weak at his position who got caught up in a perfect storm of hatred by an ignorant section of a fanbase

[rjs246]

Pinkston represented everything about this franchise that frustrates the fans. He probably doesn't deserve the hatred that he gets because he just was what he was, but he was average at a position that screamed for talent, he was an 'Andy Reid guy', he came up small in big games and at the end he made a public embarrassment of himself on the field.

He was an average NFL player, but he is a beautiful representation of everything that was wrong with those Eagles teams that couldn't quite win a superbowl.

[ice grillin you]

someone on the emb calls them stinkston and trash

[General_Failure]

Man, that's pretty clever.
