Dead Money Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Originally posted by Westbrook36 That's what all us Eagles fans thought about James Thrash last year. But there was one team that gave up a mid round draft pick for him. :laugh: Well there you go... Thrash was misused as a starting WR. He's a role player not a #1 or #2 WR.. He can step in, but not start consistently in THAT capacity. (in the case of injury to a starting #2 - I wouldn't mind if he was bumped into the #2 slot temporarily) His value when he was with us the first time was discovered by Gibbs & Co., and he was brought back to fill the role that he best suits. You guys hated on him (as did everyone else in the league) because he didn't live up to your expectation in the role you placed him in.. (see Trotter) Its really the same deal, except Trotter had and injury in the middle of the situation to boot... So he really didn't live up to our expectations. I will stand by that mid-round pick used on Thrash until the day he retires. He's a great role player and every team needs them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tizzod Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Originally posted by Westbrook36 You are right. I hate him now in midnight green. He wasn't that bad last year but the Superbowl and the Owens arrival ruined him. midnight green???? :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnacpa Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Freddie doesn't produce. His best season he didn't even have 500 yards. I would keep 50/50 before Fredex .... barf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halter91 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Originally posted by Westbrook36 What would you guys say if somehow Freddie Mitchell wound up on the Skins? I'm sure we'd have a few change of hearts. Maybe a few "Gibbs will change him, that's for sure" I think I speak for all of us, we would NOT be happy, and yes, we would hope Gibbs can change him. :eaglesuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scoring touchdowns is a panacea. And for the record, that's "changes of heart" vice "change of hearts." :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Number5 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 Originally posted by feeshta That's because he was disruptive to their other players. Duh.

TobiasEagle77 Posted February 16, 2005 Share Posted February 16, 2005 I saw Thrash mentioned, and I think quite a few Eagles fans realize that Thrash was a good reciever, he just should have never been a #1. I think he would be just as good if not better in the slot than Mitchell was. I don't know if the 'Skins plan on resigning Thrash, or if he would want to go back to the Eagles, but I think he would be a good replacement when we get rid of Mitchell.

We should have never let him go to you guys in the first place. I liked the guy when he was here and I like him now. Your loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkaD Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 We should of kept him around. That was Snyders first big mistake. Lates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mookie0720 Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Why in the world would we want him? It's one thing to take on an attitude like Randy Moss where the guy is amazingly good. Freddie Mitchell sucks. He flat out sucks. He's not any better than any of our current WR's, in fact he's worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDoyler23 Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Should the Eagles hold out for a fancy ham sandwich for him, or just regular bologna? Or they can get nothing and like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wskin44 Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Freddie won't be playing anywhere next year. I can't recall a marginal player talking himself out of the league before, but that's what he is doing. Good players have said and done dumber stuff, but their skill keeps them employed. Freddy just isn't worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel pretty confident in saying that Thrash will probably retire as a Redskin. He will probably be our slot guy a lot this coming season, and I think he will be a major contributor for us. But thanks anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope you're wrong, because if Thrash was an option it would make it that much easier for us to say goodbye to Freddie. I am starting to think that Seattle might be willing to take Mitchell off our hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TenaciousB15 Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 The eagles would not take Thrash back. I think there is too much resentment. Fair or not, he was the scape goat for the Panthers game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair or not, he was the scape goat for the Panthers game. Thrash was your number one. He is our number three, a better fit. Is Thrash to blame for how the iggles used him? How many iggle fans and player and coaches wouldn't take back Thrash for Mitchell right now? zero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
