Jason Babin, Philadelphia Eagle

[SD]

PG what? Did they throw him a shtein ton of money?? No...I still dont' see wtf the problem is.

They didn't upgrade. The money is inconsequential at this point. That's the problem. Why even sign the guy? If Ray Diddy is comparing him to Clemons/Tapp doesn't that tell you something?

said last year was a bit of a mirage in that once the league caught onto him he fell off...beat up on some bad tackles early in the year

I'm not excited about this whatsoever, but for what it's worth his stats were pretty consistent throughout the year.

yeah i just looked...6.5 first half of year 5.5 second half of year....not sure what he was talking about...maybe his overall pressure on the qb as opposed to sack numbers....or he was just plain wrong

It happens to the best of us, except you of course.

FWIW (very little), Cole is happy to have Babin back in fold: "The hunting party begins in Philadelphia"

He might have worn down last year but he still had 5.5 sacks in the last 8 games.

I know its popular to hate on this move but i don't see whats so hard to understand washburn wanted one of "his guys".

If you preferred Ray Edwards, consider this: Since 2006, Edwards has 29 1/2 sacks -- fewer than Juqua Parker. And wants $8 million per year.

I'm with Drunk.  I see it as good move that could be great, or could just be ok.  Regardless he was a top DE last year and made the pro-bowl.  That has to count for something.  He also knows Washburn's system and doesn't have to learn as much in a compressed time - something other DEs would have had to do.

I think everyone is just upset thinking to his first stint here in Philly.  We were bitchin about them not doing anything and now that they did, most are bitching what they did.  Seems a little chuggish..

Did you say something?

[lurking wierdo]

i could care less about the money...its the age and the talent that bothers me

Be honest, you are bothered by his skin color.

Golden cute?

no one is upset....just completely underwhelmed...and its not just his first stint in philly but everywhere hes ever played except for last year...and theres no chance for this move to ever be great....jason babin is old and comes with limited talent...if there is anything he doesnt have its a high ceiling

also i think i got a couple votes for the pro bowl last year

i dont know if im bothered by it but its definitely not my favorite...maybe top 3...id have to think about it

[Drunkmasterflex]

Be honest its number 1

Dude's been in the league since '04 and has 30 career sacks.  I don't care that they signed him because he's probably slightly better than the other garbage they've been running out opposite of Cole, but it is impossible to get excited over the move.

I was talking with a co-worker this morning about that...he was swinging from Edwards' sack saying how awesome he is
