Bostic Hog Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Butz, just the fact they didn't spend 31m on a third WR/PR shows they are smarter than whomever evaluates talent for your Washington Redskins. Oh lord, not another one. Please make them realize: WINDOW SHUT, MY FRIEND ! HTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrockster21 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Rumor is, and I know... its just a rumor, that both Lloyd and El are getting 10 mil in signing bonuses.Neither are worth that, in my opinion. ESPN is reporting that Randle-El's contract is 7-years/31million with 11.5 million in bonuses. The amount of the SB is not specified. Reggie Wayne signed a 6-year, 41 million dollar deal, with a 12.5million dollar signing bonus. I'd say those two contracts are miles apart.

Westbrook36 Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 My friends, this looks like the ol' sour grapes argument. I don't buy it. You are dying inside that we've made our splash and you've signed Barber and Matt Schoebel.HTTR Isn't it always about "making a splash" when you are a Skins fan. I've seen this routine before. Let me think. 2000. 2001. 2002. 2003. Get back to me when Snyder throwing lots of money around and overpaying actually works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The QB you are about to give number 1 money to whose best season was bested by Todd Pinkston 3 times. The WR whose numbers this past year were bested by Brown and Lewis with McMahon throwing the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before, in those years you talk about, it wasn't Gibbs. HTTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westbrook36 Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 Glad it's not your money! I guess the Skins feel it's better to be 4 deep at WR than rely on one young player with "potential". 4 deep? What does Patten have left in the tank? He made a "splash" last year, thats for sure. Then you have the QB who will be good for a few trick plays a year. Then you have the petulant crybaby that SanFran couldn't wait to unload. I'll give you Moss. Moss and a bunch of question marks.

Wow - you're really hurting inside aren't you? Even if the comments you make were true - each of these guys is better than any on the Eagles roster. Nice thing for the Skins is that we didn't need a #1 - had that solidified already - these guys are just gravy. Birds are still searching for that #1 - good luck!

dockeryfan Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 You're wrong.There's no way for me to convince you of my opinions of those players other than to tell you. Like I said, I would have been pretty happy with one of those two. Pretty upset with both of them. No sour grapes. I really don't think the Skins have begun to make their splash yet. Brandon Lloyd runs a great route. And he will make amazing catches. Randel-el is extremely versatile. They really could bring different things to the table. They are far from the same receiver. And as for Simon, no way he's considered a bust. He was a good pick all around. But Reid and co have a terrible time picking receivers. Gari Scott? Na Brown? Billy McMullin? I think Fredex was actually one of his GOOD picks. And Pinkston I actually like when he's healthy. But that track record sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, these guys are migits who gaget type players. One was run out of town. They just aren't great NFL WRs at this point. They are being paid like superstars though.

They don't need to be superstars - we already have our#1 (by the way - why not check out some of the threads that discuss what the NFL experts think of Randle-El and Lloyd). They are definitely a step up over our #2 & #3 WR's last season - and those guys got us to the divisional round of the playoffs and a 5-1 record in the division. As to how much they're getting paid - what do you care? Aren't you sporting that sig for being wrong about the Skins cap situation in the first place?

But that track record sucks. No argument on our poor track record with recievers. My argument about the Eagle's being among the best as far as talent evaluation pertained to every position though. I certainly agree with you on our drafting of recievers (until Reggie Brown, who is going to be very good). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrockster21 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 WB -- I think you really need to take a break for awhile. Wait until the Eagles make their first significant signing (no, #2 TE is not the position of need for the Eagles, and Schobel is not significant) and then come and post. It is obvious from your posts in this and other threads that you are extremely bitter. You are throwing around opinions like they are hard facts, which is never good for your credibility. So sit back and relax...take a deep breath. Focus on the Eagles for awhile. Your bitter ramblings and lies add nothing to the discussion on this board. Thanks in advance.

SkinnedAussie Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Maybe the reason Bentley snubbed Philly was that he's not into 'brotherly love', and felt the Phillyback Eagles just weren't for him! Maybe the Iggles FO would have a better chance of signing Jeff Garcia to back up (to) McChunky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
