Andy Reid approval rating - Week 15

by JasonB on Dec 18, 2008 10:38 PM EST in Philadelphia Eagles News

In week 13 when the Eagles beat the Cardinals on Thanksgiving Reid's rating climbed up, albiet to a paltry 30%. However, the following week saw the Eagles upset the division champion Giants on the road and fans really responded. Reid's approval rating shot up to 56%.

This week the Eagles handled their business in prime time against the Cleveland Browns and kept their playoff hopes alive. So how do people feel about Andy now?

Same as before — he gets "no"s from me until they’ve secured a playoff berth. Otherwise, they’re below expectations.

I wonder if I can bill Jeff Lurie and Peter Angelos for the years of therapy their teams are going to put me through.

So here's why I approve now and didn't before...

It has nothing to do with bandwagon, or our wins, it has to do with the fact that he’s finally putting people in the right position to make plays. Starting with the cardinals game, we saw a more balanced offense, and I don’t want 50/50…I want 60/40 pass/run. But he left in our best receivers and didn’t try to spread it around like he was before, finally….FINALLY he is putting players on the field based on merit and not on seniority…did we really need to have reggie on the field when Jackson and Avant were performing better…and what the hell was GLew doing out there? Finally we’re seeing a passing attack that makes sense insomuch that we’re putting our best foot out there. I think that alone has made a huge difference in our playing ability, and that’s why I give him a big thumbs up for being the man and benching Reggie and of course Lito.

Sorry fellas, but you were supposed to have breakout years, but you suck…and you shouldn’t get the job on effort or seniority but on ability. period.

Agreed

But win and everyone likes you. The best ratings will probably come at the end of the season when we can examine the whole body of work.

I still voted no… to answer this question, I have to look at his overall body of work this year and it’s disappointing. we’re in a tough position right now. better coaching during the cowboys, first giants, redskins, and bengals games and we have at least 2, possibly 4, more wins right now…

I will wait until the end of the year to pass judgement

But T.O. and his sideline histrionics wear on a quarterback. He's like the hot stripper you tried to clean up and convert into a real girlfriend. It's a lot of fun until the moment she has her second drink while out to eat with your parents. You unravel quicker than she does.
