We've been talking about this Maclin vs Jackson discussion most of the season and it appears that on the same day a few guys in the local media decided to weigh in...
Maclin, the anti-DeSean, racking up big numbers
Jeremy Maclin often gets overlooked playing alongside the outspoken DeSean Jackson, but the second-year receiver's numbers speak for themselves. By Reuben Frank
John Smallwood: Maclin quietly enjoying big season for Eagles | Philadelphia Daily News | 12/24/2010
JEREMY MACLIN isn't the type of receiver who feels an obsessive compulsion to draw attention to himself. He's not going to perform an excessive celebration after a touchdown. He's not going to talk about himself in the third person. He's not going to label himself as dynamic or display the "Diva Routine" that has become the identity of many top receivers in today's NFL. Maclin just goes out each week and does his job for the Philadelphia Eagles. And quietly, almost under the radar, Maclin has been pretty damn good at it.

Andy Reid of the Philadelphia Eagles deserves Coach of the Year honors - ESPN
I'm leaning toward selecting Andy Reid of the Philadelphia Eagles. Reid rolled the dice more than any coach we've witnessed in years by trading Donovan McNabb and resurrecting the career of Michael Vick. His coaching ability has produced the best stable of marketable and functional quarterbacks in recent memory.
Tuck miffed about Strahan's comment - NFC East Blog - ESPN
Former New York Giants defensive end Michael Strahan, now with FOX, said Giants players should be "ashamed of themselves" following their fourth-quarter collapse against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday. Strahan's good pal and former teammate, Justin Tuck, took exception to Strahan's comment Thursday while talking to reporters. Tuck first established that Strahan will always by "my guy." Then he pretty much went off on him:

D.C. Sports Bog - Jurgensen: McNabb didn't practice 100 percent
"He wasn't performing, and at practice, he'd never practice hard, and I think that had some bearing on it also," Jurgensen said. "Because Shanahan's a stickler for practice, working hard in practice so that you carry that over into the game. And he never could get him to go 100 percent in practice, and that's what he wanted. You talk to people in Philadelphia, and they say why didn't you see this coming, why are you surprised. Because the Eagles had seen it, and they traded him within the division. And so why are the people in Washington surprised?"

Boy, the starting duo of Pinkston and Thrash seems like forever ago now with Jackson and Maclin.
RIP Jim Johnson, best ever.
And the times when the abominable Billy McMullen was a starting WR.

Jackson and Maclin are home runs as far as draft picks go. For all the Mitchells and McMullens drafted in the early part of the Reid era, it is certainly nice to finally have some work out.

I’d throw Avant in there as well considering he was a 4th rounder.

Jackson still seees much of the attention
Not that I don’t think Maclin will/can be a star in this league. Hes just not there with Jackson yet
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
I think Jackson sees the attention because of his bi play ability
Not his overall talent as a wide reciever. If Maclin gets open he will beat you for chunks of yards, but can still occasionally take it to the house. Jackson on the other hand will almost always take it to the house in space.

Maclin vs. Jackson
Maclin is the better overall player, Jackson is a bigger play threat. Complement each other nicely.
I thought Jackson was the better player because of his ability to score in all 3 phases of the game
but that Maclin was the better/more complete WR
well..he does have 2 forced fumbles in his career…..

in madden one time
my DB’s where tired and he got a pick siz in the redzone 89 yards the otherway.
Eff age, were winning now!
This crap about McNabb practicing is just that…The guy’s work ethic while he was in Philly was almost unmatched. Maybe he started to slack a little bit in Washington. But, his work ethic in practice was never questioned in Philly.
How much of this whole not working hard shit do you think is due to him smiling and not being serious all the time? I think his attitude and demeanor have a lot to do with how people perceive his working hard in practice.

Then there's the
“I’m taking my boys to Arizona in the winter to get some work” which never really amounted to any improvement for the likes of LJ, Freddy, Baskett, and several other receivers he took with him. From my understanding, management would have rather had them close by to monitor and guide them, but #5 preferred to hang at his AZ crib.

you know about his work ethic how?
people in the org said it was a problem here also…
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
No. they didn't
In fact many players touted mcnabb for his work ethic while he was here.
by PhilsForever on Dec 24, 2010 11:53 PM EST up reply actions
YES they did
at least 3…read.. and how about the offseason? hwo exsactly said they were sad to see mcnabb go?
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
i still feel
Jackson is gonna end up hurting us in the end after he gets a big contract and loses a step from age/injury. I hope he can become a more complete receiver
2010-11 Predictions:
Kevin Kolb will go to the probowl and complete >65% of passes.
Jeremy Maclyn will have more receptions than Miles Austin & Steve Smith
Graham will have the starting LDE spot tied up by week 5, win ROTY, and have >10 Sacks
11-5 finish.

Steve Smith of the Panthers is still doing pretty well (considering the situation the Panthers are in) and he is very similar to DJax, so I wouldnt worry about it too much.

He is much stronger than D Jax

You can't equate size w/ injury
There were a lot of “big boy” injuries this year, in Philly, and elsewhere.
Look up Charlie Joiner. Listed as 5’11", 184 lbs, but I guarantee the weight was inflated. Play 18 years and wound up in Canton. Jerry Rice went 6’ 2" 196, which proportionally isn’t much meatier than D-Jax.

rice was a lot meatier than djac
even given the size difference..
jackson is 5’8’’ 5’9’’ MAYBE a buck 160…. Rice was 2-3 inches taller and at least 30 lbs heavier
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!!!
After reading the Gaither article
I went back and tried to find the block they were talking about. The camera cuts most of the original block out, so this is pretty much pure specualtion, but I dont see how in the world that block wasnt an illegal block in the back. Seriously, looks pretty textbook to me.

My friend mentioned to me that he saw something on TV about some NFL players wives, and he said that the Eagles long snapper’s wife was on it. I replied “Jon Dorenbos?” I have a lot of friends who are really into the NFL and their teams but I don’t think any of them could name the LS. But I’m sure quite a few of you on here could. For a blood thirsty, drunken bunch of brutes the NFC east fans do a good bit of knowledge about what they’re yelling at.

I was surprised when I watched a youtube video of Eagles fans yelling at Cullen Jenkins. They were screaming things like “You suck! You weren’t even good enough to go to regular Michigan, you had to go to WESTERN Michigan! AHAHA!!” and I was surprised that trolls screaming at players knew that much.
My favorite one is the one where they’re screaming at Brandon Jacobs and one of them yells something like “Hey Brandon! How does it feel to back-up a midget?!”
Merry Vickmas everyone! * Falls into pile of snow DeSean style *
Maclin, Avant, and Jackson are all awesome
but don’t forget about our next up and coming star, Riley Cooper. This kid was the talk of camp, and anytime he’s played this year, he’s been phenomenal. Its nice to have a good sized receiver @ 6’3" and hands as sure as Avant’s. He’s also been awesome on ST’s as well making several great plays as a gunner, as well as the onside recovery last week. Really looking forward to seeing this kid play some more snaps.
Oof.

Yeah, well.
Marvin Harrison is the opposite of Jackson too and he wound up the Godfather of West Philadelphia. Don’t be surprised if we learn Maclin is running guns to the Sandinistas after his career is over.
I think Andy Reid is the anti-DeSean
At least physically.

Jackson and Maclin is sorta like Ochocinco and Houshmandzadeh a few years ago in Cinci. Except Jackson isn’t nearly as bad as Ochocinco.
as bad as Ochocinco?
i hope that was a joke. did u mean talent wise or attitude? Because as much as I love Jackson, Ochocinco is def superior talent wise. Sure he doesn’t run a 4.2 40 but he’s just a monster.

Desean runs a 4.2??? No he doesnt...
He runs a 4.3
thats Cobb on Kolb crime if you ask me... as said by yophillybro
"I'm trading Kolb to Buffalo for Cribbs"- the brilliant Trade Kolb
"Please notice the difference and proceed to suck your own tiny ass cock. Secondly, A simulator shows how things COULD go, not WOULD.. Once again bend in half and do the deed.." From me.. To CNCITINFO.
And no Desean is better than Ocho.
