The chances of Ingram contributing to this team are slim at best. I came to grips with that about 45 seconds after he blew out his knee, again, after a year of not playing ball because of a blown out knee.

Correll Buckhalter says hi.

Buckhalter is one of my least favorite Eagles of all time. He took touches from not one but two of my favorite Eagles, constantly got hurt (arguably costing the team at least one playoff game) and was inexplicably loved by the fan population. farg Correll Buckhalter.

I loved Buck. Poor guy had talent, made plays when asked, but could never stay healthy. Was good to see him do so well in Denver, before going down, again...

interesting article by domo

i hated the decision to hire him. i didn't like the decision to trade sheldon brown. i didn't mind trading mcnabb, but hated trading him within the division.

but if you remove the personal feelings that come with losing a guy like sheldon or even mcnabb (for jay) and look at his decisions from a football/organizational standpoint, he's done a few good things in a short amount of time. he got good value for both mcnabb and brown and has this team in a pretty good position for a draft that is deep in "need" positions for the eagles.

he's basically no different than kolb right now.....don't know how good or bad he will be but in his very limited experience, he's shown a little potential so we might as well see what the guy can do. but i do know that i'm going to have a short fuse and if he blows this draft out of his ass then i'll be thru with him.....as i'm sure nearly every other eagles fan will be as well.

I couldn't agree more. The thing I found most interesting in that article though was all the guys that have been successful GMs that didn't have much of a football background. Ron Wolfe, George Young, Mickey Loomis, and whoever else he mentioned.

the difference is those guys started as non football guys then worked their way up....regardless of what the eagles say rosemen was not in player personel until at the earliest last year

check the media guides...check front office depth charts check past interviews ect...

you will not find one mention anywhere of a guy named rosemen being in PP

Huh didn't realize that, I thought he at least had some involvement in scouting. Either way the article is interesting and like Sarge I'll take the wait and see approach.

And Sarge brings up another good point he did get a lot of picks this offseason for a draft that is supposed to be the deepest in years.

ice grillin you · April 15, 2010, 01:43:33 PM

i mean i dont know 100%...but i follow the team as closely as anyone and i have never ever heard his name be mentioned in PP until the bogus PR campaign they started putting out about how he ran the draft last year

basically he was a money guy until his name started to be floated for GM and was subsequentily hired....then if you believe the eagles he all of a sudden had been scouting for the past ten years and ran the last couple drafts

that said i have already stated on the board i love what he did with the draft picks with mcnabb with the plan in general this offseason...but me or you could do that...trade good players for decent picks...the test comes in evaluating players properly and acquiring said players

Sgt PSN · April 15, 2010, 01:50:09 PM

the important thing about the picks and this year's draft is that it's fairly deep in positions that the eagles have a need to fill. not too deep at qb, rb, wr or te....but the eagles don't really need to draft any of those other than a backup rb which can be found in the 3rd round or later.

this is going to be (or should be) a pretty boring draft in terms of "glam players" because the eagles don't have much of a need for that. they need safety, cb, lb and ol and there's a lot of them to be had this year. if they draft anything other than s, cb, lb, ol with their first 5 picks (as those picks stand now), i'll be pretty effing pissed.

ice grillin you · April 15, 2010, 01:54:56 PM

id say the most important thing is making good picks...which means properly evaluating players....a draft is only deep if you find the right guys...anyway the picks are andys not rosemans...but roseman (and his scouts) needs to give the proper player grades to andy....and thats where my big concern lays

still five of the top 100 picks is awesome
