    Loved the trade,not giving up either of our 2nd rd picks was huge.............Then the Eagles select EARL THOM.........WHO??????????? An undersized de go figure,can't say i know a damn thing about him but the one thing i know is i WANTED EARL THOMAS. There's not a fan alive who didn't think Thomas or even Derrick morgan wasn't the pick. State of mind = confused :? :? :? Not beating up on the pick just very very suprised by it.


    haha, we thought same thing. all chanting thom-as, thom-as. then, what????

    i'm against anyone from the big ten...most overrated league in football (at least they didn't take a guy from penn st, which would have instantly been a bust)

    we'll see....questionable move by my boy reid. ughhh

    i never thought i'd see the day that you'd question big red!

    I wanted Thomas there. Oh well. At least it was a defensive guy

    so much for my vick for a 3rd theory. I still think they try to move him before the season starts...then bring in garcia.

    no one worse to influence a young team than mike vick. PLEASE GET RID OF HIM AND THE WILDCAT!!!!

    You might need to take safeties and cb's the rest of the way to hold off the Cowboys O next season :D

    It's gonna be ridiculous. The funny thing is, I think Dez Bryant will be better than Desean Jackson. However, they have a lot of similarities.

    Dez Bryant's mom had him when she was 12. And Michael Irvin/Deion Sanders will be mentoring him.

    Good luck with that...as an eagles fan, I'm confident this dude will be in trouble with the law soon

    thinking in terms of the off season as a whole, here is what i posted in january to start this thread:

    my quick take? there are lots of questions and holes to fill. however its not something that can't be done before next season. it's not like we were 2-14 or the bills or something (chan gailey?!?!?! :wtf: ).

    needs: d end opposite cole who can actually get to the qb...either middle or strong side lb (depending where they put stu) and saftey on d. offense is pretty much set and will only get better as the young bucks get more seasoned. need to get healthy on the line and pick up a back rb if westbrook doesnt come back. if don goes, i actually think kolb can manage the offense with this accuracy.
    what say you?
    GO BIRDS!

    i thought we had 3 main priorites: 1: d end. 2: saftey. 3: linebacker. and i also thought kolb will be fine with his accuracy and the multitude of weapons already in place.

    apparently the eagles listened to me.
    1-graham's gonna get to the qb and free up cole from being double teamed. i know people wish he was bigger. but he fits the mold and philosophy that reid has had since he's been here: speed speed speed. plus he's the same size as dumberville and freeney. i like the pick.

    2-nate allen was a solid pick up at 37. a saftey who can cover and lay some people out. i read that he should be able to cover a tight end or two as well which is something we've been lacking. again--smallish, but has tons of speed. great pick.

    3-the ernie simms trade was a steal for a 5th round pick. this was an excellent move. combined with bradley coming back, our lb corp is much improved. it will be interesting to see where everyone plays though. still have gaither, foku, and jordan coming back along with a couple mid round picks this weekend. training camp will be fun to watch.

    we'll see what happens at corner. marlin jackson might end up there. hobbs will be back. this lindley kid might be a player out of kentucky. spending a 4th round pick on a 4 year starter in the sec seems like a good idea to me.

    offense: i would have liked to see them take an o lineman yesterday. but we might not be in as bad shape there as people think either. got a pro bowl (despite all the frustration) tackle with jason peters. herremans is solid at left guard. center is an issue with jackson going to miss some games. but i'm okay with nick cole filling in after a full training camp at that position under his belt. plus we go up against some pretty bad defenses the first month of the season. then you got winston justice who proved he can play in this league at rt, and either max jean or stacy andrews at guard. the line was actually good for most of last season until the end when jackson went down and cole was thrown in there.

    and with one of the best young reciever corps in the league, a pro bowl caliber te, a pro bowl fb and a solid running back, kolb should be fine.

    don't look now but the eagles have managed to rebuild themselves over the past few years without suffering through a typical 3-4 year drought that most teams encounter when flipping over their roster. i like the direction we're heading gentlemen....

    GO BIRDS.

    they did listen to you. I spoke to reid sunday night and he said you were the influence of all their picks. he told me to thank you

    come on dude. copying my annual thread? you gotta come up with something more creative than that. pretty sad. :roll:

    copying your annual thread? I am sorry, I didn't realize you had a 50th anniversary thread for the Eagles championship drought.

    The Cowboys broke their playoff streak after your silly thread from last year. Who knows, maybe this is what the Eagles need to wake up and win the big one!?

    Now go try and sell some houses...and be honest to those potential customers, ok?

    let me guess...cowboys fan that's never been in texas?

    I just want to understand...why the cowboys? I will never understand how this happens

    Bad guess....Dad was born in Tx. Been there several times as I still have relatives living south of Dallas.

    Why the Eagles? I will never understand that one either....It's such a competitive division that it is hard to understand the reasoning for others liking anyone other than your team.

    The biggest question though....Why the Deadskins?? How could you follow that mess... :roll: :lol:

    He will be in trouble soon because his mom had him when she was 12? That sure is a good reason... :roll:

    pretty sure he was referencing the other issues with his mom that might cause him to fly off the handle if someone brings it up at an inopportune time. with the rothlesburger issue, most teams are being pretty cautious about the character thing. but of course, you know all about dez bryant and his shady history right? :lol: (quick--go do a google search on dez bryant). BEAT IT.

    Cuz what this guy has done is soooo bad, right? Come on, you wouldn't have a thing to say about him if he was drafted by any other team outside of the division. He's on the same level as Desean Jackson and will probably be a better receiver.

    Do you think Jeff Ireland was right in asking him if his mom was a prostitute? I think the guy should be fined for bringing up personal stuff and stereotyping the guy. Ditka thinks he should be "whacked in the head"! LOL

    how is he on the same level as desean jackson? jackson had a complete opposite upbringing with him being raised in a tight and supportive family. plus he was never suspended for a full season by the ncaa...plus, they are complete opposite kinds of wide recievers. not sure what you mean.

    better rush to google.com dude...

    from scouts.com:
    His salary could be increased by only 30% because of a clause in the league’s collective bargaining agreement.


    solid move. i am glad they did this instead of instantly locking him up for 3 or 4 years. give him a chance to prove his worth while not being tied down to him early on.

    12.26 is mostly a signing bonus i think, that does not factor into the 30% i believe. Either way, I hear you about not doing 3 or 4 years.

    okay...well then its that plus an extra 390k or so...i think thats about the going rate for a starting qb drafted as high as he was these days.

    Agent: Rule Limited Kolb Deal to 1 Year
    The Eagles have signed new starting quarterback Kevin Kolb to a 1-year contract extention through the 2011 season.

    Kolb was set to play out the final year on his original rookie contract, which would have paid him about $1.3 million. An Eagles source and Kolb's agent, Jeff Nalley, said the unusual brevity of the extenson was because of the expiring collective bargaining agreement, and the subsequent rule that contract extensions can only increase salary by 30 percent a year. Adam Caplan of Scout.com reported Kolb will get $12.26 million guaranteed, most of it a signing bonus, which is not affected by the rule. An Eagles source confirmed the figure.

    "I think both sides thought it was important to do this," Nalley said.

    "It's been a good month," Kolb said at an afternoon news conference. He was named the starter after the trade of Donovan McNabb, greeted a new daughter, and got a big raise, all in April.

    "It means a lot," Kolb said. "You never want to let anybody down, especially when they've put that much faith in you."

    Kolb could have played out his deal and forced the Eagles to franchise him next year -- but if he suffered a serious injury this season, he could have gotten nothing.

    "Just security," he said when asked his reason for wanting the extension. "Getting it out of the way" so he can concentrate on leading the young team.

    “We’re happy to have Kevin under contract for the next two seasons,” said head coach Andy Reid. “When given the chance, Kevin has proven to have good command of this offense and we’re looking forward to having him operate as the number one quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles.”

    Added Eagles general manager Howie Roseman, “We’re excited about what we’ve seen from Kevin during his three seasons in Philadelphia both on and off the field. We’re happy to get this contract in place for the near future and are looking forward to keeping Kevin in Philadelphia for many more years to come.”



    Said Eagles president Joe Banner, “I’d like to thank Kevin and his agent Jeff Nalley for their work in getting this contract signed. We’re very happy with Kevin and all the attributes he brings to this organization and we’re pleased to sign another young, ascending player to a contract. It’s something that this organization has prioritized over the last several years.”

    BTW, rookie Ricky Sapp said today he will be a strongside linebacker, not a defensive end for the Eagles, as indicated by the team last weekend. Interesting switch.

    so you like the cowboys because your dad was born in dallas? that makes no sense. my dad was born in NY, but I grew up in philly...therefore I root for the eagles, since they are the team from the city where I live.

    it's not rocket science

    Yeah, when you grow up around Cowboys football and go to their home games as a kid, you become attached.

    Don't question me. I'm sorry that you chose to root for the eagles. Have fun there ;)

    I KNEW THIS GUY WAS A FUCKING FRAUD. Fucking knew it! As a REAL fan of a team from MY city, let me just say it's fucking almost May and I have two other professional sports teams that represent MY city to worry about. So go wallow in your Dallas thread...or your pathetic attempt at your 50 years without a championship thread because it doesn't begin and end with one team here. Know what feeling I experienced in October of 2008 that you'll NEVER experience in your lifetime? The feeling of MY team from MY city winning it all. Now go jump back on the tailgate of that bandwagon before it pulls away without you.
