My top 5 targets in FA.. and my 5 "no-go" guys.

PrintLoooong offseason with nothing to talk about...
Well here's basically what this is.. A wish list for the 5 players I'd like to see in Eagles Green (in order) and why.. Now this doesn't mean I expect to get anybody, this doesn't mean that I'm crazy, I'm not looking at cap, I'm just listing the 5 guys I want (there are more but I could write for years)...
then...
I'm going to list the 5 guys I think the Eagles should avoid and my justification as to why....
***Note, I'm assuming under the new CBA UFA's will only need 4 years.
Top 5 FA's.
5. Bruce Gradkowski, QB (Oakland)- Bruce is a guy who pretty much plays like Jeff Garcia. He's a fiery type of guy, doesn't have elite mobility but enough to move up and makes some plays, he's got a decent arm and is generally pretty accurate. The reason I have him in at #5 is because we're pretty much certain to deal Kolb and while I love Kafka and I know the Coaching staff does to you just have to get somebody in who can back up Vick for another year or two. Gradkowski's that guy, he did it in Oakland where he was actually leading the team to wins before he got hurt, he did it with the Buc's for a few years.. He's basically a Jeff Garcia clone in my mind.
4. John Kuhn, FB (Green Bay)- Kuhn was tendered, which under the leaked CBA beliefs would make him available. Now people let's not jump off the deep end here.. With Weaver most likely being finished, Havili being a rookie whom I don't give two turds about and Schmitt being solid-yet-unspectacular we need to bring in a guy, and Kuhn would instantly upgrade the FB position and he's got a pretty good ability to actually run the ball like Weaver did in 2009.. Now if we cannot get him then we stick with Weaver or Schmitt.
3. Quintin Mikell, FS (Philly!)- Not ready to let this guy go yet, he's still got some left in the tank.. We need a veteran presence who can stay healthy in our Safety core to help Nate Allen and Kurt Coleman mature a little more, and teach Jarrett how to be a SS in the NFL. I think resigning Mikell would be a smart idea especially with Nate Allen saying he's only 85% as of right now.
2. Nnamdi Asomugha, CB (Oakland)- Best CB in the game of football, he'd make us instant contenders and would really make our D a top 10 caliber group. I don't think I need to say anymore on him since we all pretty much have this wrapped up.
1. Doug Free, OT (Dallas)- Free's one of the better OT's in the game, he's played RT up until the 2010 season and he did a pretty good job at LT last season. Signing him would take our OL which was boarderline decent and make it special, and with his ability to block the blindside of the QB and his background at RT it'd be an easy transition for him.. That and it'd cripple the fuck out of Dallas which is what pushed him to my #1.
My 5 to avoid:
5. Antonio Cromartie, CB (Jets)- Cromartie's the biggest joke I've seen, he's not physical, he's not a ballhawk, he's unspectacular and he's just plain stupid. I don't want this guy anywhere near Philly, I'd rather play Hobbs at RCB than this clown, and I hate Ellis Hobbs as a player.
4. Richard Marshall, CB (Carolina)- Somebody put it like this in the comments of one of the other fanposts (can't remember who it was or which fanpost so sorry bud)... Take a guy who guesses as much as Asante but fails 80% of the time and that's Richard Marshall for you...
3. Thomas Davis, LB (Carolina)- I actually love Davis as an LB, I like the way he plays, I like how he plays, he's a guy who 2 years ago or even last year I would've taken in a second.. But in 2010 he suffered his 2nd ACL tear in 2 years and that's what's landed him on my avoid list. I'll admit if the Eagles sign him for cheap I'll be ok with it but I'd rather just avoid this Marlin Jackson-like player.
2. Ray Edwards, DE (Minnesota)- Ray Edwards is a guy who everybody overhypes. Put anybody opposite of Jared Allen and next to the Williams Bros and they'll do what Edwards does. At 6-5 270lbs and being decently quick for his size he SHOULD be dominating opposite of Allen, the thing is that he plays like he's unmotivated and like he's just waiting for a big payday instead of earning it so what happens once he loses the only motivation to play well? I certainly don't want to find out first hand.
1. Gloxico Burress, WR (Prison)- We don't need Plaxico, we don't need another guy who's come out of prison, it worked with Vick yes, but we're not miracle workers (we being the coaching staff).. You all will say "But we need a big WR who's a RZ threat" and I'll reply with Jeremy Maclin had 7 of his 10 TD's in the Redzone and was actually one of the better RZ receivers in the NFL in 2010.. You'll say "we need a big body who can win jump balls/run the fade route" and to that I say Riley Cooper, he's 6-2 222lbs and has a 33 inch vert. Also Cooper excelled at the Fade and jump ball situation as UF, trust me as a Kentucky Fan I saw plenty of them.. My final point as to why we should avoid Gloxico is that picking him up would completely kill Coopers growth, Cooper would move to 5th on the depth chart, Hall would be gone and Cooper would probably never see the field til he's dealt or Plax shoots himself again.
Please feel free to make a list of your own on this comment section, let's try to avoid 40000 fanposts on the same subject.

Because he isn’t a joke? Compare his numbers to Justin Tuck’s over the past three years:
Ray Edwards: 40 QB Hits, 77 hurries, 21.5 sacks, 142 tackles, 17 stuffs
Justin Tuck: 29 QB Hits, 54 hurries, 29.5 sacks, 202 tackles, 26 stuffs
And look at their stop rates against the run from last year:
Ray Edwards: 78% stop rate (3rd in the NFL), 2 Yards a play on plays he was directly involved in (23rd in the NFL) and the left side of the Vikings line (his side) allowed 3.29 yards per carry when the opposing team ran behind the right side of the line (6th in the NFL) and allowed 2.26 yards per carry when the opposing team ran outside the right tackle (1st in the NFL).
Justin Tuck: 85% stop rate (1st in the NFL), 2 yards a play on plays he was directly involved in (23rd in the NFL) and the left side of the Giants line (his side) allowed 3.35 yards per carry when the opposing team ran behind the right side of the line (7th in the NFL) and allowed 3.78 yards per carry when the opposing team ran outside the right tackle (14th in the NFL).
Ray Edwards is one of the most disruptive defensive ends in football that doesn’t get his due because he plays across from Jared Allen. Ray Edwards is a complete beast who would destroy in Jim Washburn’s system. And do I need to remind you how athletic this guy is? He is 6’5" and 275 pounds and he has great explosion (39" vertical at the combine), strength (30 reps of 225 at the combine) and length. The guy is a beast, he would instantly become the most talented defensive end on the Eagles (not the best, Trent Cole is a beast).
And then whenever Graham gets healthy you would have a three headed pass rush that was only rivaled by the Giants. Could you imagine having Trent Cole lining up at RE with Ray Edwards and Brandon Graham moving around creating mismatches other places on the defensive line?
Could you imagine having to face this:
RE- Trent Cole
NT- Trevor Laws
UT- Ray Edwards
LE- Brandon Graham
That would be scary. Ray Edwards would be a great addition to the Eagles.
I think that he was saying Edwards numbers are inflated by the circumstances he plays under. I believe that he was labeling Edwards as the Vikes’ line Ringo equivalent. You wanna sign Ringo Starr to a recording contract?
AR should have to wear a Flava Flav necklace until he learns how to manage a fucking clock.
I am the proud target of temper tantrums.
Ringo’s music was pretty good actually. At least some of it was.

Ringo gets a lot of shit
but every time someone covers a Beatles album, the drummer almost always comes up saying something like “I had no idea how talented and important Ringo was to the Beatles until I played the White Album blah blah blah…”
He does simple drum riffs, but just because he didn’t change the course of music for drummers like the other band mates did doesn’t make him a bad drummer at all. He was amazing. And good point by greenbean, Being the 4th best Beatle is not a bad thing.

the fact that he sucks.....

Do you hear that? That's the sound of the media ramming the Miracle at the New Meadowlands down your throat for the rest of your life...BAHAHAHAHA....
How can you say he sucks after getting hurt in his rookie season? He is going to be much more comfortable in Washburn’s system whenever he gets back on the field. He was a QB’s Nightmare at Michigan. Give the kid some time.

The reason I say he will be more comfortable in Washburn’s system is because it is similar to what he did at Michigan. Just fly around the edge, no read and react BS.

I'm pretty sure
that if Reid built his team based upon the stats the players had playing for other teams, that the Eagles would not be as successful as they have been.
I understand your point of view but I don’t think Reid and now Washburn share it.

Why would we play Ray at DT?
that’s stupid… He’s not that good.
He struggles against OT’s 1 on 1, if you put a TE on him or double him he’s non-existent…
The guy’s the Finnigan of the DL.

that’s stupid… He’s not that good.
Because he has the type of ability to move around ala Justin Tuck to get favorable match-ups.
And he very clearly doesn’t struggle against one on one blocks. I’m trying to find evidence of this but all I could find was this (do yourself a favor and mute it). Ray Edwards pretty much just flew over the running back, are you really going to turn away a guy with that type of ability? Go rewatch the game against the Cowboys and then try and tell me this guy ‘sucks’ and ‘struggles against 1 on 1 blocks’. That’s some BS if I ever saw it.
Ray Edwards would be the best left end that Andy Reid ever had here in Philadelphia.
No way, Ray's not even close to Tuck, just because he's got size doesn't mean he's got the ability.
Yes, I mentioned the Cowboys games, the only time he produces is when the opponent talks shit to him..
He does struggle against 1v1 blocks.
And no, I think it’d be a massive mistake to bring in Edwards

while we all salivate over CBs and DTs and WRs, they’re going to add an O-Lineman or an LB or someone we didn’t expect.

Have you looked at the back-up QB options available? While he’s not a guy that you want as your #1 QB, he’s serviceable and probably the best among a list of shitty options for #2. Pun intended.
AR should have to wear a Flava Flav necklace until he learns how to manage a fucking clock.
I am the proud target of temper tantrums.
I don't get the hard-on for this guy either
He’s okay, but okay is his ceiling.
I’d rather have Tarvaris Jackson or Alex Smith, who are also okay but still have room to get better under the Eagles’ tutelage.

What kind of ceiling are you looking for in a back up QB...
He just has to be servicable for a couple games IF Vick has to miss a couple….They need to be comfortable that he can get the job done; what was AJ Feely, Garcia, or Detmers ceilings? Kafka is the one they’re developing….

"Leads team to win if starter is out" is the only criteria
for a No. 2 QB, so we agree there.
But given the QBs that are out there, the guys who have talent and are more likely to be better QBs (i.e. more likely to lead team to win in absence of starter) are the guys who have all the tools and just haven’t completely put it together yet, more than a guy who has maxed out his mediocre ability.
I’m not gonna get up in arms about it, but it’s important to have someone in that No. 2 spot that we can turn to in a pinch. In Week 1 of next season, maybe Gradkowski’s the best guy we could get this side of Hasselbeck or McNabb.
But I think after a half-season or more working with the Eagles’ coaches, Tarvaris and/or Alex could be really beneficial to have. They both have the tools, and just haven’t worked with the right kind of talent or have wilted under the pressure or what have you.
Seems if you’re adding someone and your choices are “okay and best he’ll probably ever be is okay” or “okay with the chance to be pretty good” you’d take the latter. But that’s clearly all opinion on my part.

Bruce Gradowski doesn’t do anything particularly well.
Does he have arm strength? No.
Is he accurate? No, check his 53% completion percentage.
Is he a winner? The 6-14 record in career starts would suggest not.
Is he a risk taker? The 5.7 YPA would suggest not.
There is nothing appealing about this guy other than the fact he once beat the Cowboys and played decently for a couple weeks on the Raiders.
Give me Thigpen, Bulger, Volek, Troy Smith, Dennis Dixon, Drew Stanton, Matt Moore or Vince Young over this guy. Gradowski sucks.
by d-jackfan10 on Jun 29, 2011 12:02 AM EDT up reply actions
if he had good stats...
he’d be a STARTER…..Gradkowski can get the job done, and is a serviceable back up…And if you’re gonna list numbers to help your cause, DON’T list players with the same numbers…I could go through every qb you named and mock every single one of them; the same way you did BG…
Also, how many of those guys are actually FA’s?? Dixon isn’t…. I’d like Tom Brady, and Peyton to back him up before I would want BG…That list is a joke, I’m happy for your opinion of BG… Outside of VY, there’s a not a guy I would consider to be far and away better than BG….and you’d have to TRADE for VY…

Dennis Dixon is a free agent. And you really are underestimating how much Gradowski sucks.
Bruce Gradowski: 3,883 yards, 5.7 YPA, 20 TDs, 23 INTs, 53% completion percentage
Tyler Thigpen: 3,167 yards, 6.4 YPA, 21 TDs, 17 INTs, 54.2% completion percentage
-He is a far superior athlete who has better arm strength and is a more capable scrambler.
Mark Bulger: 22,814 yards, 7.2 YPA, 122 TDs, 93 INTs, 62.1% completion percentage
-A steady veteran presence who is a proven NFL QB that has been accurate and had success when surrounded with good talent.
Billy Volek: 3,754 yards, 6.7 YPA, 27 TDs, 15 INTs, 60.1% completion percentage
-He is about as good a back up as you’re going to find, he never panned out as a starter but he is a good back up. He has a great arm and can really stretch the field and as you can see he doesn’t turn the ball over and his accuracy is adequate.
Troy Smith: 1,734 yards, 7.4 YPA, 8 TDs, 5 INTs, 51.7% completion percentage
-Troy Smith is better than Gradowski by a lot. Troy Smith has a better arm, is more mobile and has proven he can be a good spot starter. His accuracy leaves something to be desired but he is a game changing back-up with his athleticism. He is younger too and his ceiling is noticeably higher.
Dennis Dixon: 402 yards, 6.8 YPA, 1 TD, 2 INTs, 59.3% completion percentage
-He looked very good as the Steelers’ starter before he hurt his knee. He was completing 68.8% of his passes and had 7.9 YPA. He is younger, more athletic and provides a much higher upside than Gradowski does. He has a good arm and has been timed in the 4.4s in the 40 yard dash.
Drew Stanton had a good year last year.
Matt Moore: 2,640 yards, 6.7 YPA, 16 TDs, 17 INTs, 57.9% completion percentage
-Matt Moore in 2009 was much better than Gradowski has been at any point in his career. Moore has starter talent but he needs to be coached up.
And all the players I listed are higher caliber players than Gradowski who is a complete scrub. What does he bring to the table that Mike Kafka doesn’t? In game experience? That’s about it.
im not going to get in a long winded argument with you about your/my opinion...
Dixon was drafted in 2008; so he’s a RFA if he’s a FA….you have an opinion from what you saw from him; just like you have an opinion on GB…you can dislike my opinon of GB all you want (i also like Dixon)….
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GjZGWIIPTMw If you’ll notice at 3:40; he throws the ball 50 yards with ease…another 52 yarder at 7:25….what’s this weak arm garbage argument; and he’s familiar with the west coast offense….call him a complete scrub all you want; don’t understand the hatred; not saying he should start
all the players i’ve listed are high caliber….HAHAHA…bulger is high caliber? troy smith couldn’t be out alex smith…volek is how old now?? Drew Stanton had a good year? you’re comfortable w/ DREW STANTON, but not BG…hahaha…You make a case for these guys as if they’re Montana and GB is Ryan Leaf…it’s too funny.. I don’t understand the odd bias..

live in pittsburgh, and steelers are 2nd favorite team
and trust me, dennis dixon just isnt really that good. dont get me wrong, i really really like the guy and root for him like hell cause i loved watching him at oregon. but when big ben was out, there were times that it was hard to watch the steelers offense because of dixon
i agree with this. Dixon's nothing but a career backup.

I have reasons for choosing BG over them
I like Thigpen but I think he’s returning to the Dolphins because I believe he’ll challenge for a starting spot there.
Mark Bulger’s shell shocked, he’s comfortable in Baltimore and even Kurt Warner who talks to him has said he doesn’t think Bulger ever wants to be a starter again.
Bill Volek’s old as fuck.
Troy Smith is garbage, he couldn’t beat out Alex Smith and when he did play was pretty unimpressive.
Drew Stanton is garbage.. Absolute shit.
Matt Moore.. He’s not very good either.
Dennis Dixon has knee issues.. I like him, I wouldn’t be mad if we took him but I’d rather have the healthy guy.
And all the players I listed are higher caliber players than Gradowski who is a complete scrub. What does he bring to the table that Mike Kafka doesn’t? In game experience? That’s about it.
Exactly lol.. I would be more than OK with Kafka as the #2 QB in 2011, but I’m just saying I’d be comfortable with a guy like Gradkowski who’s average in every sense of the word but has experience.

Exactly,
Gradkowski would be a Garcia, Detmer or Feeley.. And Kafka would be the guy being developed under Reid and Marty.
Gradkowski gets us a solid backup QB who won’t destroy Kafka’s growth like an Travaris Jackson or Alex Smith would.

Look at what he did in his rookie year (2006) and the past 2 years as the backup QB..
He’d be the absolute best option to be the backup QB out of who’s available and obtainable… I’d like to go with Kafka, but you have to have a guy with some experience.

you people are expecting a guy who produces like a starter to be a backup?
Listen, if we get the production that Tampa got his rookie year then we’ll be fine with him being a backup QB.

They all want Brady to be Beldsoes back up….B-Grad is more then serviceable….apparently they don’t remember when detmer, feeley, or Garcia led us to the playoffs or victories…..They expect the FO to go out and get a starting caliber qb that’s going to want to sit behind vick….

Yes exactly, it's annoying as fuck.
Garcia was suppose to be done before he got here, Feeley was shit anywhere else but here, Mike McMahon made plays and won some games.
B-Grad’s better than Feeley, better than Detmer, better than McMahon and maybe a notch below Garcia (when he came to philly)…
I think as a backup and if he had to play 2-4 game for us he’d be more than capable of winning some games especially in a QB friendly system.

Didn’t say that. Don’t put words in my mouth.
I’d rather have someone with a little bit more upside/veteran presence as the backup. I’m not expecting our backup to be starter-caliber (though that would be nice), but is it too much to expect our backup to have better than a 65.9 career rating? I bet Kafka could do better.
Don’t forget that Detmer/Feeley were also playing at the peak of our great defenses. Garcia did do a little more but he was more of a starter whose stock had gone south than a career backup, as evidenced by his tenure in TB.

of course
just look back two years ago… we had McNabb as the end of the road veteran pro-bowler, team record holder for everything , backed up by Kolb with a huge upside who managed to throw in a few offensive player of the week awards in his first nfl starts, backed up by another pro-bowler who went to a superbowl with almost no talent around him. It is easy to get spoiled when you have three guys who can start almost anywhere and many teams are struggling to find a warm body for the position.
I’d rather not have a crappy backup. At that point I’d rather take my chances with Kafka.

I don’t think people realize just how ridiculous Nnamdi and Asante on the same team would be.
Douggie would be a solid addition as well, no doubt, but we’ve got an offensive line. What we don’t have is another starting cornerback.
I have no idea what the Eagles have done to give you that impression
Seeing’s how they literally couldn’t have done anything.
They passed on Jimmy Smith and Brandon Harris. And it’s been reported that one of the reasons Sean McDermott was fired was because he didn’t get Trevard Lindley play time even after Patterson and Hobbs were continually getting burned.

I know that one of the reasons defensive coordinator Sean McDermott was fired was because he didn’t get Lindley on the field enough. The Birds were getting torched at the right cornerback position with Ellis Hobbs and Dimitri Patterson, but he didn’t give Lindley much of a chance after the Chicago game.
The front office thought McDermott made the coverages too complex for Lindley to grasp and kept a guy off the field who could have done the job at the right cornerback position.

There’s your problem right there.
Kidding aside, even in that report, it’s a leap to go from “McDermott didn’t play the young guy enough” to “Eagles are going to ignore CB in free agency and start Lindley.”

The Eagles have said nothing to indicate
they would ignore adding a FA CB and start Lindley. In fact, they’ve done quite the opposite, publicly acknowlegding their need for a corner.
Given that their hands have been tied — and it’s not like they’ve been sitting on them through free agency and then the draft — yes, you are driving yourself nuts off pure speculation. As I said.
If free agency comes and goes, or if someone in the organization expresses confidence that Lindley can and will be the starter, then I’ll march in the worry parade with you.

I never said that Lindley is “Plan A” but when the season starts I don’t think they would feel bad about Lindley starting. Andy Reid said they’re “fine” at CB and I think that if it comes to it he’ll be just fine with starting Lindley. They’re prepared to let him start.

Well I disagree
Let’s leave it at that.
I think they’re prepared to let Lindley take Hanson’s nickel job if he shows the right kind of improvement, especially given what Joselio makes, but I don’t think there’s a chance in hell that with the money they have to spend, the way this franchise values corners and the number of good ones on the market that they’ll let Lindley start.
They could get Carlos Rogers easy, for a reasonable cost, and have it be a major upgrade. Why would they just not do anything, even if they love Lindley?

I started my last post about an hour ago
But that was more to address speculation and not my own list. Here’s my top 5
1. Haynesworth- I have done a 180 on Albert, he makes to much of a diff to pass on him when he is motivated to both player for Wash and destory the skins 5 mil
2. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie- Contract is cheaper than some kickers and he has good ability but tons of room to grow. Oh and he’s tall. Bottom line, he’s an upgrade for next to nothing Est Salary- 1 mil
3. Lawerence Vickers- Blocked for 2 1,000+ yard seasons for Jamal Lewis when he was past his prime and last season for Peyton Hillis. Good receiver as well. Est Salary- 2 mil
4. Tyson Clabo- Blue collar type lineman coming off pro bowl season at RT. Not a pressing need, but championship teams have championship lines. Est sal – 8 mil
Steve Weatherford- Downed 20 punts inside the 10 last year, Sav downed 3. Also great on kickoffs. Est sal 1.5 mil
Grand total of 17.5, room to resign Vick and Jackson

Manny Lawson...
to play WLB….
Kuhn would be a great short yardage FB but he doesn’t get the ball thown to him; so he doesn’t fit on paper…unless he can catch and doesn’t get the ball…Id rather bring in a RB like R.Brown and keep Schmitt/Havili…Maybe Mclain if im bringing in a FB that doesn’t catch much…Or go all out for Leach..
Don’t really need the vet leadership of Mikell if we get NA, i think the Eagles are OK at safety.
Everything else i pretty much can agree with, but i don’t mind the thought of bringing in Edwards or Plax…I can understand both sides for both players; personally i like Edwards size…

Idk, I guess since the Eagles tried to convert anything and then signed Weaver, everyone has FB on the mind even though it doesn’t mean much…I don’t know why they would get rid of Owen..Not too worried bout them doing anythign on offense, outside of getting a stud RT…I want to see some name DEF FA’s…

And yes we do have adequate. I don’t get why people want Chaney at WLB. To me he is either a MIKE or SAM. As far as wanting someone more proven i get that, I just don’t think he has proven so much that he should get automatic starting position over someone who looks like he can be our WILL for years, even if it is a small sample size. The sample size doesn’t get any bigger if we keep putting people in front of him. I agree on bringing in a veteran LB if Stew’s gone, but I’d rather bring him in as a back up and mentor.

Top 5 Guys Want:
1) Nnamdi Asomugha – Passing defense goes OM NOM NOM NOM on passing attacks.
2) Doug Free – While I’m not down on Justice, Free would be an instant upgrade over him. Having him with definitely help improve the right side of the line and give very good protection for Vick.
3) DeAngelo Williams – I admit, there is 0% of this happening. He’ll want a big contract and being the main guy in the run game, two things he won’t get in Philadelphia. But could you imagine a McCoy-Williams backfield? Holy shit.
4) Ray Edwards/Mathias Kiwanuka – one of these two guys. Good players that would give Parker a long overdue boot and should play well enough until Graham comes back at full strength.
5) Anquan Boldin – Gives the Eagles a #1 receiver that they never had

Juqua is overpaid, but he’s been underrated. He seems to be our best DE against the run (i dont have the stats, i just notice him more than anything) and he’s productive.
first 4 games we were getting raped in the running game.
then we replaced Jordan with Fokou and Graham with Parker as the starters and our run D went from bad to very good lol.
I think Dixon had a lot to do with it also.

I'm pretty sure, Kuhn is a rookie, making him a RFA, and anyways I wanna to stick with Schmitt.
He became one of my fav eagles. A great run blocker and while he isn’t spectacular in the passing game. Its fun to see him make something happen after the catch, usually a funny hurdle. He might not be great as a pass catcher, but he fights for yards and that’s what i want from a position that is dying.

And so what if he isn’t spectacular in the passing game look below.
FB A- 15 receptions for 97 yards and 2 TD’s.
FB B- 19 receptions for 136 yards and 1 TD.
Fullback A is Kuhn, Fullback B is Schmitt.
To much focus on the passing game in regards to a FB.. Nobody will ever be like Weaver.

Yes, Wild_Eagle's infamous reputation did help him get this award. But he shows that he walks the talk that he serves...with his keyboard. Wild_Eagle protects the motherland (BGN) from the evils of noobs, douche-bags, and other assholes. Although he may be crude and unnecessary, all great defenders draws the yellow flag from time to time.

I’m friends with Kuhn on facebook because he went to my high school, i blast his page with Eagles stuff all the time, i found a bunch of legit packer accounts on there and do the same thing, like Aaron Rodgers HAD one, and Jordy Nelson..
but i digress, Kuhn would be a good signing but i dont think its necessary. he gets a lot of touches in Green Bay.
I know he gets a lot of touches in GB.
But Kuhn could play some RB for us, he is solid on special teams etc.
He’d be a poor man’s Weaver and honestly if we don’t get Harrison back we could roll with Lewis, Buckley and Kuhn as the backups to McCoy.

The point that seems to be overlooked here often ...
… is that we all have our wish lists, preferred RCBs and what we hope to get for Kolb.
But the real overarching thing is that we can come up with all these scenarios and make them realistic because the Eagles are primed to move.
Given that they have already addressed the line, made the coaching changes, and had a decent draft, PLUS they have Kolb to trade and money to spend, whatever they end up doing I’m sure we’ll all quibble with, but they are going to be a better football team than the one that nearly beat the Super Bowl champion Packers.
No matter what they do, assuming they address RCB and replace Kolb at No. 2 QB, we’re going to have a contender. All our wish lists are gravy.

My top picks ...
First off, my picks are expensive and understanding that, I only suggest we take 4, not 5 people.
1. Nnamdi. Big hole. Best CB in league. Easy.
2. Haynesworth. Asshole, yes. Talented, yes.
3. Doug Free. Dont have the faith that some have in Justice. I think Justice should have been gone 2 yrs ago. Upgrade + give Jerruh Jones a big black eye, you bet your ass I’d do it!
4. Plaxico Burress. I still think he will be cheaper than most expect and, even if we use him primarily as a decoy, that leaves lots of room for DJACK and MAC.
Uhhh...
I like your list but I was hoping for only FA’s.

Forgot about Gholston...
I’m sure MOST will disagree, but he could be had for the minimum; just to see what he can do as a 4-3 end in this system….He’s my pick for “Washburn saved my career” player of the year..

thank you for that....
hate him all you want, he’s not my brother…..im talking about bringing him as a look and see in the preseason…He continues to suck, you cut him w/ the 53 shake down….His confidence has to be shot, and he’s not gonna get much in a contract; it’s worth a shot to see if Washburn can rebuild him…I don’t think it’s a crazy idea, and I don’t think we need a big time DE to be bought in. A cheap “lets see” option at DE and spend the FA money on CB, LB, DT(only Haynesworth really), and possibly an RT….

Dude.. Even DE's who have issues early on
like Babin.. atleast do something lol, even Babin had a few plays.. I can’t remember 1 play where Gholston did anything worth while, I like him coming out of College, but in the NFL he’s not able to do shit.
He’s done. I’d rather just sign Babin.

If Mikell is gone (and all signs are that he is), this team has several huge questions on defense including LDE, RCB, and SS. Just not a very good unit that doesn’t have much depth right now.

Nothing personal, but this is just not up to the level of professionalism of the other posters. And your response makes you sound like JIBTA, Jr.. I think you’d be better off if you just respond to the posts of people who are better at this than you.
Lol,
I wrote a piece completely based of opinion. I don’t see you ever post anything.. My shit barely ever get’s O’d.
It’s alright, obviously you have some issue with me for some reason. One day when you grow up and become a man (by your attraction to me I’m betting a gay man) you’ll understand this is a blog, and while people of all different writing abilities and writing styles are here, some will be better, am I up to Jimmy, Jason, Bob, d-jackfan10, BBI? No. But what I write is good enough to evoke conversation and a though pattern in those who choose to read (which I doubt you read) and that’s all I hope to achieve.
Also, I fully understand you want to call me JIBTA Jr, go for it, I honestly don’t care… Do yourself a favor and quit acting like a child who just lost a bet to his friend.

Well there is the problem right there, Jr. You are comparing yourself to Jimmy, Bob and the others and your are not close to any of them in the quality of your posts. You should show some humility and respect for these people and shut up and listen every once in a while.
If I want to listen to someone uninformed opinions about the Eagles from someone who is more mouth than knowledge, and have them pick fights when someone doesn’t agree with them, I’ll go to my local bar and sit down next to the first drunk I can find.
Hence the comparison with JIBTA. You have gone from being a nice respectful kid two years ago to a big mouth that is full of himself and too busy talking to listen.
So there it is. Take it or leave it.
And BTW, while I have a wife and a kid, I got no problem with being called a gay man. I know and have served with too many gays to take that as an insult, you ignorant, homophobic child.

I’ll be completely honest with you here. If I’m gonna rate the quality of your posts from 1-10, with 1 being the bottom of the barrel trolls and 10 being the best writers (D-jack and the Big 3), I’d put you around a 7. And I don’t think that’s anything to sneeze at; we have some excellent writers here, and I’d put you on my top 20 contributors here as far as posts go. As far as commenting, you’re one of the best, a solid 9 out of 10. Like I said, your posts are substantive. They contain solid opinions, good analysis, and are thought-provoking, even if grammar/spelling and style are a bit below the bar set by the writers I mentioned above. It would be a shame if you stopped posting.
Hopefully none of this came off as me being a jackass, I just want to be completely unbiased here so i don’t sound like “W_E is god and can do no wrong in his posts.”

LMAO honestly no this was no jackass-ery.
I didn’t think I was above a 5 on my fanposts.. and my commenting is wild yet effective.
And honestly I admitted to IggleGreen that I wasn’t one of the best and that I was average at best yet he kept saying I thought I was Jimmy or Bob or Jason lol.
And all I look for is to write some longer pieces, have solid (and hopefully) unbiased opinions, a good analysis and I like to spark a conversation with what I write… What most on here probably don’t know (or care) is that I have some bad learning disabilities, I couldn’t read til I was in the 3rd grade, I’ve got bad dyslexia and to top it all of I have 2 different central auditory processing disorders which make it very difficult for me to put what I’m thinking into writing, my grammar and spelling mistakes stem from my learning disabilities.
So yeah, I’m more than happy to be average when it comes to the things I write, to be honest this site has helped me a lot as far as trying to get what I think across and actually writing better pieces.. In my own mind I’m overachieving and I am more than OK with that.

There are a few guys on here that deserve the respect W.E. demands. And while he’s no CNCITINFO, he’s no Bob, Jimmy or Joe_D either and from your posts DS10, neither are you – but I haven’t seen you get as ignorant about it as W.E.. I used to defend him like you do.

He doesn't need to be defended.
But he doesn’t need to be followed around being attacked. That’s complete trolling, and we don’t need that shit here. For the record, I’ve never claimed to be as good as JimmyK, JasonB, or Bob_Q. I don’t think anyone else here is. Combining both football knowledge and writing skill is a difficult task, and I don’t think we have a single contributor here (outside of possibly d-jackfan) who is at the level of those other guys. If you expect professional writing, go to a professional site. But don’t crowd up these boards with your petty personal beef with one person.
And btw, did you just include Joe_D with Jimmy and Bob? Joe_D is a good writer, but how can you attack W_E for being a bad writer and being arrogant when he’s no worse than Joe in either aspect?

While I’m not the definition of respectful I do show respect, while I do pick fight 90% of the time it’s to defend somebody on here, giving a troll their tolls or I follow it up with an apology for the way I acted.. Please go back and look.
And the gay man comment wasn’t a stab at gays, it was more of a stab at your goal of attacking me on every single post in here. I have no issues with gay, sure I did at one point but hey people change.

Note to self: IggleGreen is a bitch who is very judgmental and rude.
Iggle, how the hell are you going to criticize someone’s writing skills when you post the shit you do? You’re in no position to provide criticism.
And second, what is wrong with this? This isn’t the New York Times, we can write whatever we feel like. This is the ‘FANpost section’. This is a place where fans are free to write about their favorite teams. This is a place for opinions. At it’s best we arrive to our opinions through analysis and objectivity. Nobody here claims to be like JasonB or JimmyK, Wild_Eagle never intimated that at all so please try not to pull random stuff out of your magic internet argument hat and stick to what has actually been said. Thanks in advance.
I read this awesome set of rules over at SacTown royalty:
You want to call someone out or insult someone? Take it to another site. Disagree with someone’s opinion all the live-long day, but don’t insult the individual. I used to umpire, and I used to tell the players that they could say that I made a horsesh*t call, but they better not say that I was horsesh*t. Same thing applies here. In other words, it is OK hate the play, but don’t hate the player. This includes attacks on nameless or faceless individuals. Leave the “in spite of what others would tell you” bull-plop at the door, as it is a flame war just waiting to happen. If you have a point to make, make it, but do so without discrediting others. Let the conversation take its natural course. This does not mean that you cannot respond directly to a thread post. To be clear, you may disagree with someone, vehemently so if you are impassioned. But leave the personal rancor out of it. You are disagreeing with the viewpoint, not the individual.
You should really make an attempt to abide by this rule. You came in here guns blazing attacking Wild_Eagle for not being professional enough for your taste, you certainly implied that Wild_Eagle wasn’t intelligence, called him JIBTA 2.0, called him ignorant, big mouthed and said he has become disjoined from the community here at BGN because of it.
And for someone who lives a ‘big boy’ (condescending much?) life you sure are immature, why are you attacking someone on the internet? What’s the matter, your wife won’t put out and now you’re going to go huff and puff on the internet? Don’t be a dick, it won’t get you anywhere.
With all the extra time in your ‘big boy’ life why don’t you actually be a constructive presence here at BGN and write something ‘professional’ enough to meet the standards you have set in this thread.
Thank's bud.
And I would never live through those rules..
I sometimes start shit with hey dumbass etc (90% of the time I am joking to be honest) but it’d cause issues lol.
