    so looks like desean will be franchised.

    smart.

    they'll either keep him (i can't understand people who are not able to see the difference he's made in this offense since 2008) or get something for him in a trade.

    I don't think it's smart at all. He's a deep threat and nothing more. Do you really think he'll be happy all season with the franchise tag? Why not go out and get a Dwayne Bowe to compliment your best receiver(Maclin)?

    yeah he'll be a lot happier than he was this year (he'd be getting a 9 million dollar raise-with a long term deal an off season away)...that's if they don't extend him.

    and they will obtain another wideout if they trade him. why would it be smarter to let him leave for nothing?

    No, I was talking about getting someone like Bowe in a trade. I think that would be their best option but they can't just let him go. He may be happier with the $10 mil(is that the franchise salary?) so it may work out but it would be nice to see them FINALLY pick up a solid #1 receiver with some size. That's all.

    how has having #1 receiver's with size worked out for the cowboys? ;)

    i love his deep threat. one of the fastest guys in the league and it opens things up for mccoy. without the eagles committing to a power rushing attack, you need to stretch the defense like that.

    TO played great while with the cowboys(of course his character sucked). However, he didnt have a good compliment like a Maclin. I just think teams need to look at the combo a little more to give them more of a diverse passing attack. Also, getting a physical guy with some speed can help spread the field even more.

    It's 4th and 6 and you have one play to keep your season alive. Maclin and Bowe? Maclin and Jax?

    Even if Jax gets the franchise, they can still revoke this and trade him, right?

    without jackson on the outside Maclin would not be nearly as effective. Jackson takes so much of the defensive attention away from anyone else because his home run threat.

    I'm not sure I buy that. Put a corner that can keep up with Jackson or bring some help over the top. These guys had almost the same season and I think Maclin is the more complete receiver. What good is a home run threat if that's Jackson's only strongpoint and teams know it?

    there isn't a corner alive who can stay one-on-one downfield with jackson. the point of the home run threat is that it must be covered on every play by a corner and safety usually. 2 guys out of the defense every play just because jackson is in there. take away the home run threat that is jackson and maclin is double teamed over the middle instead. just back back to the pre-TO days in Philly for what happens to receivers when there is no home run threat on the team.

    the offense with vick jackson macklin and mccoy is as good as any if vick can stay healthy and cut down on the turnovers. even with an average season at best out of vick and jackson the offense was still fine this past year.

    You would still need 2 guys to cover a true no. 1 like Bowe, no?

    maclin, jackson, avant, celek, and mccoy. i'll honestly take that over what most teams in the nfl have.

    but yeah...the point of franchising him is that they can get something for him via trade as opposed to letting him walk next month.

    This can happen again on Feb 2, 2014 in New York where the Eagles could play a championship game in snow. Wouldn't that be something!? ;)

    I should've happened in 2010 when we played the Vikings, but the goddam game was postponed. :twisted: Although that wasn't a championship.

    Not getting my hopes up for that 2013 team just yet.

    it's called "Miracle AT THE MEADOWLANDS 2" - how could that be one of the Linc's memorable moments? :lol:

    Maybe "football game postponed for 4 inches of snow"???
