Westbrook36 Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 tr1, you had to force my hand. I was content in letting you spew your venom and just laughing at you from afar. But lately, I feel it is my civic duty to expose you for the blowhard that you are. Feel free to bring rational points to this discussion as to why the Eagles FO is cheap. Eagles' spending from 2000-2004: Year Median salary Total Payroll 2004 $ 653,900 $ 104,977,331 2003 $ 655,000 $ 77,436,900 2002 $ 762,995 $ 81,929,630 2001 $ 701,760 $ 70,893,988 2000 $ 473,200 $ 55,581,400 http://asp.usatoday.com/sports/football/nf...ts.aspx?team=24 Salary cap: 2006--$94,500,000 2005--$85,500,000 2004--$80,582,000 2003--$75,007,000 2002--$71,100,000 2001--$67,400,000 2000--$62,172,000 http://www.askthecommish.com/salarycap/ http://www.vertgame.com/sal_cap.html Eagles spending above the cap: 2005--($6.3) 2004--$24.4M 2003--$2.4M 2002--$10.1M 2001--$2.1 M 2000--($6.6M) http://www.geocities.com/eaglescap/Storage.html The Eagles have spent, on average, $4.35M more than the cap over the last 6 years. tr1 told us Upshaw was talking about the Eagles when he talked about teams not spending allocated cap money. tr1, please don't talk in hyperbole or generalities.....please refute these facts and figures or kindly STFU!!!

sableholic Posted March 2, 2006 Share Posted March 2, 2006 never good when one of your sources is geocities. also didn't you say they were not only not cheap, but they lead the league in spending? I just looked at that first link and washington spent more every year besides 2002. Hell in 2003 they were down really far on that chart (17). Keep in mind I am not saying they are cheap, but I'm not seeing top spending team in last 5 years or whatever you claimed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westbrook36 Posted March 3, 2006 Author Share Posted March 3, 2006 LoL I didn't even look at the link cause it said geocities, but your right that link doesn't even show those years, just this year. The query only shows you one year at a time. Just plug in whatever year you want to see and someone tell me my numbers are wrong. The geocities link is from the resident Eagles cap expert. Sorta like when people use scout.com as a source for Skins cap related info. I'm still waiting for someone to look at the data and call the Eagles FO cheap.

BTW, the only two players you have that you are "paying" are a QB who lacks leadership skills and a running back who cant stay healthy! Now I'm through with youse guys...you're too easy!

Now I'm through with youse guys...you're too easy! I need a challenge so I'm gonna troll the Falcons blog..at least their QB was a winner in college! "Youse guys".... Okay....... 1 - Irving Fryar retired only to resign with the Skins only to have his career ended by Troy Vincent of the Eagles. 2 - Yes, while Derrick Burgess was a mistake now, he was coming off of 3 straight years of injuries that limited his play on the field. He made out with a Larry Brown type payday for his performance in the playoffs. 3 - McNabb wasn't a winner in college? If I'm not mistaken, he was a winner in college, graduated from college and he also is a winner in the pros. He has more regular season, playoff, hell even pro bowl wins than Vick. The lesson is, if your going to be an idiot, please try to be an intellegent idiot. You do yourself a disservice, especially when you use the word "youse". First off, no one uses that word, second, its not a word, third, if it was a word, you sounded very stupid using it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You assuming we all believe it and us believing it are completely different. All I was argueing is the fact that I remember Westy saying that the Eagles were #1 over the last five years, and from those #'s it doesn't appear that way to me. Were they cheap? Doesn't appear that way either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Anyone wonder if WB has ever heard of the fake dollars the Eagles build in to contracts to bloat the appearance of spending in one year to carry over to another?

This is how the Philly media sells to their fanbase, that they spend every dollar of their cap. Just maybe what Upshaw is referring to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 The reason the Eagles are cheap is simple. They are sitting with MILLIONS of dollars available on a team needing depth that could come from actually acquiring players. That just happened ONE year ago. And, every year the Eagles fake the cap out with bogus millions in fake bonuses that carry over, making the problem even worse. The best thing ever is the Eagles didn't win the Super Bowl after Lurie was pressured to act like a real owner and be more Snyder-like a couple of years ago. He'll be gun shy from now on.

tr1 Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 WB, you make me laugh. LTBE...perhaps you'd like to explain this to your Eagle friends. And let me ask you, does 'spend' mean put into someone elses' hands or promise 'to be expended'? You know the answer...be honest with your friends. Are the Eagles the cheapest team in the NFL? No, just one of the 12 cheapest...you know, the ones that don't ACTUALLY spend allocated money, but hoard it. By definition, having huge cap room means you haven't spent money...duh. Why on Earth do so many Eagles players want off that team when given the chance? Answer: Eagles cap management :laugh: You've made a dishonest argument...you should be ashamed. You're reasonably intelligent...and to lead your less intelligent friends down a slippery slope is...well...regrettable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
