Who's ready for some football?
- Thread starter Iconic
- Start date
Yeah, I thought they were going to be pretty good last year with Asma as there corner and babin up front. THey looked good on paper, but Vick sucked it up. They didn't use Shady like I expected them too either. I think they will actually be better this year.
You never know in the NFL, thats the good thing about it. Anything can happen on any given Sunday
Eagles O-Line has been horrible for the last near 5 years. It's had it's good moments and even did good keeping Vick in the pocket...and then Vick decided to play ATL hero again and start running the ball like a jackass. I know it's needed sometimes and it's a good tool to have but when he runs, he instantly sets himself up to re injure those ribs or destroy his leg again.
He stayed in the pocket about 90% more his first year as a Philly starter and set career high records and they even went to win their division the final year the NFC East was considered the hardest division.
What I HOPE happens, and I'm only saying this all because I'm a realist type of fan, is that Vick uses his last couple years wisely and instead helps mentor the newer QBs because Vick has talent he just doesn't keep it under control well.
But I mean really the only threat division wise to my Eagles this year is Washington, because the Giants have been at the same pace as the Eagles lately and I do believe they lost a lot of talent in the post-season.
Coincidentally, I'm assuming you're a Packers fan at least hoping you are, Aaron Rodgers is my favorite QB in the league right now. Guy is the epitome of what a QB needs to be. Smart, Accurate, and literally leads his team on and off the field. There were two QBs from the past that I was like, "Philly needs them" it's Rodgers and Matt Ryan.
Maybe we will luck our and get the QB from Oregon.

Yeah Im a cheesehead. Me and my wife and my 3 year old. I've watched Rodgers since Brett Farve got injured in the NFC championship game in 2008 I believe and arod came in and took over in that game. When I saw him throw the ball, I asked myself why he wasn't the started bc he looked damn good and the following year he was the started and I've watched him mature throughout the last 4 years. I really hope the pack get Lacy at RB through the draft, or monte ball. There is another one who they say mimics frank gore but I forget his name. If they can get arod a good back for support, man he will be dangerous. The RB situation is the only thing I disagreed with when it comes to The GM Ted Thompson since Grant got injured and they haven't found a true replacement yet...Dejuan Harris looked good, but I need to see more from him.

1. North, you can keep Vick. It was the happiest day of my life when he went to jail and we eventually got Matt Ryan.
2. With the Ravens taking so many hits the AFC North will belong to my Steelers once again. That is all.

Believe it or not, I like the browns especially when they beat the steelers.
We call those a "Cold day in hell".

I can't wait for football to start. the colts did amazing last year. I'm excited to see what they do come the draft. most likely oline or running back. the defense needs a little work but all in all with what they got for receivers and tight ends and the new oc I think they are doing great things in the post-Manning era.they filled a lot of holes. I was hoping wed get ed reed but I still like what they have done thus far in the off season.

The Steelers got my boy Jarvis Jones and the Falcons picked up a FREAK at CB in Trufant. Needless to say I'm happy today.
I'm glad to see Eagles clearly trying to work on their O-Line. But until we can get another mobile QB besides Vick we're screwed. I could careless what other peoples opinions on Vick is, but the guy has definitely showed tons of change and promise since he got caught being a total piece of shit.
He proved he deserves to be recognized as a top QB in the league. And there are always reports from the rookies and third strings that Vick is always trying to help guide them to stay focused and not go the path of self destruction like he did.
With that said. He came in behind McNabb who basically taught Vick to get injured three times a season.
Fowles is pretty good he proved he has the chops to keep focused in the game but he has poor accuracy....
I just think that if we're restructuring the team with new coaching staff, why not bring in new leaders on the field too? We need that QB from Oregon that will know and understand the play calling system that Chip likes.
But as I've stated before...i'll hold off any harsh opinions until I get a glimpse during pre-season.

I love how McNabb is blamed for EVERYTHING. The ONLY thing the guy didn't do is bring you a Super Bowl trophy. As for Vick, what do you think happened in Atlanta? How do you think they found out Schaub was worth a damn? Because Vick...kept...getting...hurt. So to put that on McNabb is beyond me...
McNabb got hurt just as often and it was for running the ball like Vick. McNabb was great with Philly. He was one of the reasons I even started paying attention to the Eagles (It was that long bomb in the Superbowl against New England to Pinkston that just grabbed me).
Year two with the Eagles, Vick PROVED that if he stays in the pocket he is a bigger threat. BUT you can't stay in a pocket if the pocket crumbles after the snap.
I'm PRO Vick, but I'm also being realistic in that I KNOW we need a new QB to build around.
Now, go masturbate to your Rapestburger FATHEAD you have hanging on your ceiling :-D
