Yup. ;3
Also crazy to hear Mel Kiper say Weeden could have been the 1st QB taken in this draft. Yeesh.
Except for Pats fans and some Jags fans we are much better. We don't argue over why you should all be fans of our team. We spend out time ignoring the best teams and making fun of the Garbo ones (like the Niners, Pats, Steelers, Packers, Ravens, etc).
We are better. console fanboys live in basements or look and talk like wiirevolution1

The Cassel trade was a 2nd round pick too, wasn't it? Wow.

I would be very happy with their 3rd. There is tons of talk about Reid wanting him, I really hope it happens but I am not sure it will. Reid is usually the guy that trades QBs and gets stuff back. It would be weird to see him be on the wrong side of that.
The Cassell trade isn't really 1:1 b/c he had signed a franchise tender. So he had to paid a ton of money in addition to any draft picks. Foles is cheap and under control for a few years.
The Eagles will know how much Reid really likes Foles, and if their isn't a QB worth drafting high, that really strengthens Philly's position. The problem is I just don't see too many other teams wanting Foles, and everyone knows that he won't fit there, no matter what Kelly says

Yeah I cant believe there would be much market for a QB with a weak arm, who is incredibly slow, and makes terrible decisions, but you never know and it is a really weak market this year. Eagles have to trade Foles for whatever they can get. They have a ton of holes and you are right about him not fitting here at all.
Wonder if the Browns will make a play for Jennings.
True, but than I remember Crabtrees first year, and heavily questioning him as well.
Hell, Crabtree didn't start to look really good until this year (specifically until Kaerpenick was starting). He was pretty great the last half of this year though.

I think he more or less already signed a contract down in Miami with the way he's been going on lately.
Which doesn't bother me because the AFC east needs help. It's like the Patriots get to play the Lions three times a year every year.

The whole Clowney insurance policy thing is just strange and mind boggling to me, sorry if I sound dumb but how could Something like this happen
I doubt it, I'd rather try and make a run at Wallace
yeah I was starting to think Crabtree was a bust for were he was drafted until this year
Oh I definitely thought he was a bust. I still don't think he's earned that position we drafted him in, but he's playing remarkably better.
I believe most high profile prospects get some kind of insurance.

I'd be fine with Jennings or Wallace, but Wallace first. Both guys are proven cold weather speedsters. Either one would open things up for Josh Gordon which would help this team so much.
Dude is a quality receiving Tight End that can block well. He had big weeks in the regular season, but when the run game is working well they just keep at it. When you can block and catch, the opponent has to be ready for either. I don't see that as a bad season at all.
There was a week with Alex at QB where he didn't have a single catch, but they ran for over 200 yards. I think only like 5 completed passes because they blew the team out on the ground
Edit, more catches than that apparently, but yea. Few weeks in a row like that.
Hahahaha, awesome.

You can have Ballard for Josh Gordon.

I hope I'm wrong and will gladly eat crow if I am but I don't expect aj Jenkins to amount to much in the league

Everytime I see that it makes me want to watch old school Thundercats. xD
Packers are losing too many players this off-season - I won't let the best one go.
Yeah, I don't have much hope for him either. At least LMJ is working out for us. Otherwise the 2012 draft would've been a complete waste.
Better hope SEA had luck drafts in 2010-2012, b/c they have been on quite the run. Still a little soft on their front 4, but it's a good draft to fix that

Yeah it was a crappy draft outside of LMJ but mostly because none of the others saw the field. I like cam and Fleming. Also looney looks like he could be a valuable backup. Don't forget we traded our 3rd last year so we have an extra pick this year.
We have a projected 14 picks this year. I have to imagine we will trade up a bit. We don't have 14 spots available!

Just squicken to the Seahawks already! You will never be able to troll 49ers-age consistently with the rams
So why didn't they draft him then? Piolli was probably calling the shots but its crazy to think on how many teams passed on him.
I'm still not sold on Wilson mainly because of his height. He's got a solid arm and leadership skills, but so did Doug Flutie. 5'10 QBs don't last long in the NFL for a variety of reasons.
Sooooo.... why not draft him?

Squicken sure loves him some Russel.
Haha, makes sense.
:jnc Top 5 in the league or from his draft class? He's not better than Stafford let alone Rodgers. He had a solid year but let's see him do it two years in a row before we start crowning him Top 5 in the league.
"GUYS GUYS only 5 years ago we were 0-16!"
Is what I believe the favorite. Still mind boggling a team went 0-16

wussle will drop off this year but he's still better than anything the seachickens have had since hassebald in the mid 2000's.
you need a tall, strong QB with tats to lead you. otherwise you're just another doug flutie, good enough in the regular season but just can't get the job done in the playoffs
