The BGN's "I was wrong thread."

PrintI love prediction threads as much as the other guy. However, it's funny when someone has 10 predictions, half are true and half are soooo wrong and off base. Yet, the poster will come forth with their right ones and act like the next Nostradamus. I think we all at one point have been guilty of that!
So let's see.. Who has the cojones to actually come out and admit their predictions that they thought were sooo right but yet so wrong. This thread will have possibilities for a lot of entertainment... I'll start
1. Reggie Browns rookie year, I claimed he would be the next Chad Johnson
2. DeSean Jackson was too small of a WR when we drafted him
3. Back when Buckhalter and Westbrook were part time players together, I thought Buckhalter would have the better career.
4. In 2004, I was betting dollars to donuts that we were going to select Stephen Jackson. When we moved up to 16, I about peed myself.
5. In 1999, I was in the camp that thought we should've drafted Ricky Williams instead of McNabb. But I was 14 at the time with limited knwoledge, so I get a pass I think
6. I predicted Matt Ware was the next Bobby Taylor -- I was in love with that whole bust of a draft lol.
I'll post more in the comments when I think of them

I still think Reggie Brown's got it.
Bad predicts die hard.
Let’s see what I else I can think of.
Michael Vick sucks.
AJ Feeley will be a good starter somewhere.
We would have the best o-line in the league with the Andrew’s brothers.
Sam Rayburn is going to be a starter (after his 8 sack season).
Jeremy Bloom.
they're sisters....
"Eagles fans are a passionate group who love their team," said McNabb, "if not the actual players. It's not like winning a Super Bowl before the first month of the season is the hardest thing they've ever asked of me. That'd be all those times they asked me to go kill myself."

I predicted Ryan Matthews would be OROY.lol
And I believed Carson Palmer would be the best QB off all time in 2003.For a couple of years,I believed that.
Rivals beware
i took ryan matthews high in my draft last year.
that fucking guy was terrible.

Jeremy Bloom
TO and Donovan was gonna be a success story
Tony Hunt
Dmitri Patterson was a good corner
I thought that the Maclin pick was a bad idea
I thought Dhani Jones was good (I was 12 back then)
Jevon Kearse would be one of the all time greats (again 12 years old)
But in hindsight...
I think the only players we could’ve picked instead that would’ve been better for us would’ve been Delmas or Lauranitis.

Hmm…
I was dead wrong about Jimmy Clausen and Sam Bradford. I thought Jimmy Clausen was the #1 QB prospect and would turn into a probowl QB while Sam Bradford would be another spread offense bust ala Alex Smith.
I thought Kareem Jackson was a good prospect only to watch him under perform for the worst pass defense in the NFL.
I thought Carlos Dunlap would be a complete bum.
I thought Bunkley would be better than he is.
I was on the Robert Ayers hype train, I thought he would become a good 4-3 LE. So far he has been stuck in a 3-4 defense but he’ll get his shot this coming season.
I really thought the Eagles should’ve drafted Jeff Otah.
I thought Kevin Kolb was going to light the league up this past season, I’m still really high on Kevin Kolb and think he’ll become a top QB in the league.
After watching Joe Mays light up the previous pre-season I thought for sure he would do just fine as Stewart Bradley’s replacement.

I’m in the same boat as you on 4 and 6. In fact, I remember when the Eagles were on the board in the 3rd round, I was saying over and over again… Matt Ware… Matt Ware… Matt Ware. On the ticker on the bottom of the screen he was even Kiper’s best available player. And when they announced Matt Ware, I went apeshit. Then he did absolutely nothing as an Eagle, and Belichick even focused his gameplan in the SB on attacking Ware.
Ive been fairly adamant that the Eagles aren’t drafting Jimmy Smith, and I have a weird feeling I could be dead wrong there.

I have a feeling you’re wrong too. :) New CB coach Johnny Lynn has a history of acquiring big CBs and employing press man coverage.
Corners drafted and notable players signed under Johnny Lynn (will include corners who eventually shifted to safety):
Andre Weathers: 6’ 190 lbs 4.65 40 yard dash
Will Allen: 5’11 195 lbs. 4.44 40 yard dash
William James: 6’ 197 lbs. 4.51 40 yard dash
Frank Walker: 5’11" 202 lbs. 4.33 40 yard dash
Dashon Goldson: 6’2" 205 lbs. 4.60 40 yard dash
Tarell Brown: 5’11" 190 lbs 4.45 40 yard dash
Reggie Smith: 6’1" 199 lbs. 4.61 40 yard dash
Nate Clements: 5’11" 209 lbs. 4.38 40 yard dash.
Samari Rolle: 6’ 175 lbs. 4.4 40 yard dash
He hasn’t had to draft many corners because he has had the luxury of working with some established secondary players like:
Chris McCalister: 6’1" 210 lbs. 4.55 40 yard dash
Shawntae Spencer: 6’ 176 lbs. 4.47 40 yard dash
Walt Harris: 5’11" 196 lbs. ??? 40 yard dash

It was more about the character stuff for me. Since the Eagles had drafted so many players last year that were team captains, guys that were voted by their teammates as their team MVP, guys with 3.5 GPA’s, etc., my thinking was that they were moving toward building a team with high character players. But I read something Tommy Lawlor wrote that had a different take on the player they drafted last year that made a lot of sense:
“Last year the Eagles felt they needed an infusion of the right kind of players. They went after team leaders, good students, and high character prospects. That foundation now gives them the freedom to take a chance on someone this year.

He actually swayed me too with that line. It makes entirely too much sense, doesn’t it?

Haha, 701 Level? My boy Q made that play. He blocked the kick. The ball just bounced softly into Ware’s hands who needed to do little more than jog to the endzone.
http://www.bleedinggreennation.com/
i remember that game 2 like it was yesterday....
didnt the D completely shut down LT that???? But at the same time that truly was a gift winning that game , if i remember right it was all downhill from that point.
Yeah, at one point in the first half, I think LT actually had negative yardage on a significant number of carries (like 10?). And that was when LT was in his prime and the Eagles couldn’t stop the run to save their lives. And you’re right – I think that was the 2005 season (the season that T.O. and Rosenhaus ruined).
http://www.bleedinggreennation.com/
hahahaha dont remind me.....
it was also the Mike Mcmahon year 2 i think LOL!!!!!!! But hey he almost beat the Giants in a game that year with us i think.
ohhhh man wat a year 2 forget.......
I remember literally putting a whole in my wall, i went with a co-worker 2 watch the Monday Night game against Dallas and we figured the game was a wrap so we left early, anyways i get home 2 watch Mcnabb get trampled like a rag doll and ever since walls everywhere are scared by the mere presence of me hahahahaha.
I remember that moment. I was in a hotel room in Brockton, MA. They’re missing a remote control.
http://www.bleedinggreennation.com/
hahahahahahaha....
i’d say ive smashed about a dozen or so remote controls watching birds games, its got 2 the oint where i have a extra laying around lol!!!!!!!!!!! Believe it or not i was surprisingly calm on the tramon pick for watever reason.
:(
I thought the Eagles were going to win the Superbowl. And I turned down going to the game because I didn’t want to get fired from my job.
I thought Westbrook was a special talent, but wouldn’t doing anything great. Oops.
I thought Joe_D was alright, then I saw his pic plastered all over BGN………..
It’s so simple to be wise. Just think of something stupid to say and then don’t say it.
Haha...
(Sticks toungue out) You should’ve voted “YES”. Unless, you changed your mind and did.
To be fair, you wrote that post way before the start of the season.
Can’t vote – looking like I already voted no there, haha.

It’s hilarious to go back and read those comments. Where’s Perry13? He called Kolb getting hurt and Vick lighting it up. Please give me tonight’s lottery numbers.
Fly Eagles Fly, on the road to Vicktory!
The whole Vick thing...
If someone can tell me how to lookup old comments I will post some of comments from last year at this time. It was pre McNabb trade. I claimed that MICHAEL VICK would be our best chance to win a superbowl in 2010 because of his hunger to prove himself and the enormous chip on his shoulder. I also wish I could post the numerous insults I received as a result.
My favorite predicition
is back in 2000, when I was graduating college. I bet a bunch of my friends at WVU (Redskins and Giants fans) that the Eagles would dominate the NFC East for the next 5 years. It turns out I was right, but I didn’t see those guys enough to remind them about it constantly. When it came time to collect they all “forgot” about the bet. It wasn’t much, only $20 and there were 5 of us (including me). Bummer.
As for being wrong, I though Fred-Ex was going to be awesome.
I thought TO would be happy and not a dick once he got his wish and started playing with D-Mac.
I thought trading McNabb would really hurt in the short term and we squandered a good chance to win a Super Bowl.
I too was in the mindset that Ricky Williams would be better than D-mac.
I almost always think trading down is stupid when the Eagles do it, though the team has a pretty good track record (But THAT GUY is still on the board! What the hell are you doing!!??)

I thought
The Eagles where going to draft Chis Johnson. " Me and Andy should have talked before the 2008 draft".
McNabb would win us our first SB.
Who the fuck is Kevin Kolb!!! This is the stupidest pick in Eagles history. We have a QB.
Oh shit we picked up Mike Vick. We are so trading his ass for picks.
Oh fuck yes we drafted Jerome McDougle. Win all around!!!!!!! “Im so stupid!!!!!!!!!”
wanted chris johnson before that draft soooo bad...
BEFORE his 4.24 40 time…..was sooo pissed he went to the Titans…

I was so sure that the Eagles were winning the Super Bowl during in 04, that I booked a trip to Hawaii during the probowl to celebrate. We had like 10 probowlers that year……
I thought McNabb would help the Skins win 9 games.
I thought that Hank Baskett was going to be a star. I loved that guy when he came into the league.
I thought jimmy clausen was going to be a superstar.
I thought jerry jones was going to go wayyyy more crazy in an uncapped year.

The Cowboys were restricted in FA due to that “Final 8” rule (or whatever it’s called) that limits those playoff teams from signing FAs freely.

Actually, 100% sure. That rule made because of the CBA collapse.
Now that the salary cap has been lifted for the 2010 season, there is a fear that deep-pocketed owners like Jerry Jones and Daniel Snyder will have the ability to “buy” a championship. Well, that’s only half true.
In anticipation of a failed CBA agreement, the NFL set down “triggers” to prevent big-market teams from taking advantage of the absence of a cap limit.
[…] This is the “Final Eight” rule; it will extend deeper restrictions for teams that reach the final eight positions in the playoffs.
The final four teams will not be permitted to negotiate or sign any unrestricted free agent to a player contract unless he is cut from his team or originally belonged to the team that is trying to sign (or re-sign) him.
The bottom four of the final eight have it a little easier. They will be allowed to sign only one player with a salary of $4,925,000 or more and any number of players with a first-year salary of no more than $3,275,000 with an annual increase of no more than 30 percent in the following year.
There will be an additional mechanism to permit the final eight teams to sign an unrestricted free agent for each of the players they lose to free agency so long as they don’t spend more than the player they lost earns from his new team.

Tony Hunt was going to be a star and was just an insanely great draft pick.
Jerome McDougle will be a perennial pro-bowler.
There’s no way Mike Vick is on this roster in 2010
“We traded up in the first round! ::waits to hear Stephen Jackson’s name:: WHAT? WE DRAFTED SHAWN ANDREWS? WHY? Andy blew that one!” – me, draft day 2004.
Never argue with an idiot. They'll bring you down to their level and then beat you with experience.
I was pretty certain LeSean was just a good college player who would fold in the pros.
And that my boy CJ GADDIS was going to be a steal at safety. [insert sad trombone]
1. I thought Nate Ilaoa would be decent short yardage back for this team
2. I thought Brent Celek would get cut during TC
3. I thought C.J Gaddis would be a stud
4. I thought Jeremy Maclin was a bust
5. I thought Reggie Nelson would be stud
6. I thought Ryan Moats/ Tony Hunt would be decent players
7. I never thought Mike Vick would be decent QB
8. I thought LJ Smith would be the Pro Bowl TE we needed him to be back in 08’
9. I thought Kevin Curtis, Westbrook, Andrews would bounce back from their injury in 09’
10. I thought Tara Reid was hot.
Who's Been Eatin' Hummus?
She passed wind, excused herself, and sponged off in the corner as I sat dazed and confused...
Come on now… Tara Reid is by no means “actress hot,” but if she’s in the local bar she’s the hottest thing in the place.
http://www.bleedinggreennation.com/
Oh boy… I may have made a mistake on that. just googled her, and there are some really, really scary pics floating around of her. I might have to re-think that.
http://www.bleedinggreennation.com/
No, I'm pretty sure you were right the first time.
Paparazzi always manage to capture really brutal images of almost anyone. Someone good looking can be made to look ugly or look bad on occasion, but someone truly ugly can’t easily be made to look hot.
nah
shes just now a train wreck. She used to be cute, but ehhhhh..
by corn on the kolb on Apr 6, 2011 1:53 PM EDT up reply actions
I dunno, she really doesn't look all that bad.
She looked fine to me in that Big Lebowski 2 spoof she did for Funny or Die. She isn’t the hottest actress out there or anything, but she isn’t actually ugly either and at least she isn’t as insanely skinny as she was a few years back. I would bet that when she is dolled up, she is probably hotter than most women your or I know.
Yeah, I hear you, but google image her and you’ll see what I’m taking about. It’s pretty extreme.
http://www.bleedinggreennation.com/
Keep in mind those aren't all recent.
Some of the scary ones are actually a few years old (when I thought I saw notes like “rehab”, “addiction”, etc.) if you look at the dates. But I did see what you meant. It’s hard to know without seeing her for ourselves, but I suppose it is also worth remembering that not everyone ages with grace like Dame Helen Mirren.
I distinctly remember the day after the draft was over, back when Celek was drafted, there was a poll on PE.com asking which pick people thought was the best. Brent Celek came in at the lowest at 3% or 4%. Coming in above him were the likes of CJ Gaddis, Tony Hunt, Nate Ilolololololololololoa, and Rashad Barksdale.

I thought would have bet my life savings that the Eagles would beat the Buc in the 2003 NFCCG
I thought it was impossible that BDawk would ever play anywhere else
I thought the McNabb trade would bite us
I thought CJ Gaddis was going to be Dawk’s replacement
I thought Takeo Spikes was our long awaited answer at LB (I still think the Birds cut him too quickly though!)
I thought Reggie White would go into the Hall as an Eagle
I thought Reggie Brown was going to solve the TO fiasco
I thought that there was no way that Vick ever started here. After how he looked in the preseason last year..I was wrong
E-A-G-L-E-S EAGLES!
I was okay with the Desean Jackson pick...
…but I was angry that we didn’t take Limas Sweed instead.
I-C-Y-U-H8-ME
Let's see:
I too thought Reggie Brown was going to turn into a special player, possibly All-Star.
I thought Vick was completely overrated (I still believe that was true when he was in Atlanta) and couldn’t truly be a good QB ever.
I thought McNabb would have a really solid season in Washington, getting them to the playoffs or on the bubble.
I thought DJax would be a headache and not worth drafting (even though I was excited about his skills).
I believed Shawn Andrews would right the ship and get back to what he was.
I know there are others, but these were the first thoughts to pop into my head.
Oh, I remember one from last year.
I thought both Jamar Chaney and Charles Scott would be absolute steals in the draft and both would not only make the team but make very big contributions. At least I was right about Chaney (so far).
lol about Charles Scott, a LOT of people missed that one. I didn’t, I just don’t see Reid successfully using a big back any more.

Well, I mentioned earlier I was SO confident in 08 against Arizona that I bet a ton on Philadelphia to go to the SB.
I remember saying that Dawks was gonna be a bust immediately in Denver, he played well.
I remember saying that Dmitri Patterson last year would be fine at RCB last year. lol @ me. I also said that Macho Harris would end up staying in Philly and showing great improvement. lol x2 @ me

I predicted Dawk would stink in Denver.
I was a year early on that one.
I thought Macho Harris would be his replacement (I very nearly spent $300 on a customized jersey because we share a last name) for a very long time.
I thought the OL was going to be legendary with Peters, Herremens, Jackson and the Andrews.
Matt Ware fooled a lot of us.
I just knew they were going to carve up the Cardinals.
I was equally convinced they’d traded up last year to take Earl Thomas.
- I wanted Ricky Williams because everyone else did(I was 9).
- I thought LJ Smith was going to be the best tight end in the NFL
- I thought Mcdougle was going to be a stud
- I thought Reggie Brown was very good and Reid/Marty were holding him back.
- I thought Celek was and always will be an average tight end. I was clamoring for a Tony Sheffler or Vernon Davis trade.
- I thought the Eagles would keep Mcnabb and when he went to the Redskins, i thought he would make them a playoff caliber team.
- I thought Desean Jackson would bust as a wideout and be nothing but a good returner.
- I thought Jack Iguana would actually be really good after he recovered from his torn ACL. I blame JIBTA for that one.
- I thought Macho was going to be a stud when we picked him.
- I thought DTO was going to be a stud his rookie year.
- I thought we were going to beat the Pats in 04 and the Cardinals in 09.
- I was sure we were resigning Dawkins thanks to that idiot Spuds.
My list of rights would be three times as long so don’t judge me!
-I thought CJ Gaddis was going to be huge
-I thought Michael Lewis was the next beast safety when he hit the scene.
-I was upset when we grabbed Asante because I thought Lito was just as good.
-I thought we’d stomp the Pats in 04.
-I thought Andy Reid would improve our hurry-up offense, thought it was inevitable being that bad.
-Thought trading McNabb was an atrocious move
Got some right
-Loved Westbrook out of Nova.
-Was hoping we would grab DJax in the 1st round the year we got him, didn’t think he’d last to our 2nd spot and I loved him at Cal.
-Never hopped on the Reggie Brown bandwagon.

He had a pretty good year in NE after we let him go. A big part of that might have to do with the fact that Tom Brady was his QB and Belicheat was his coach, though.
