Yeah, trading a wr with top 5 ability for a cb with 2 INTs is a great move!

 

Interceptions are not the only measure of a CB. Or even the most important one.

I think I'm ok with this. Got two really good picks, and two decent replacements for a player that may not be able to stay healthy, may not be able to resign, and another young CB who has been inconsistent.

 

2 1sts, 2 2nds, 2 3rds next year. Took advantage of the Eagles desperation for CBs. Darby for Matthews and a 3rd is big value independent of the Watkins trade.

 

I don't see this as a tank move unless Shady is traded.

 

That said, whoa, this is crazy.

Hated the trade when i heard it, now I'm warming up to it. I don't think this makes us that much less competitive this year. They must have not been 100% on Sammy's health and were probably 100% he wouldn't be here next year. They are all in on next years draft now. As far as EJ Gaines goes. I'm admittly a Mizzou homer but have him seen him play a lot. He's a good CB. Tall, physical, good ball skills and is a tackling machine. He's bigger than Darby, tackles better but isn't quite as athletic. He's a better fit than Darby for the new scheme. Gaines is a good player.

Now this is the sort of reaction we all know and love here. Baghdad Bob lives! (Gaines sucked last year, btw, and he has had a lot of injuries.) :flirt:

Has anyone heard from Kirby or bandit? I'm worried :cry:

 

I'm here...but I'm pissed.

 

I'm sick to my stomach. This just confirms my biggest fear about handing the organization to young guys that are the "smartest guys in the room." It has that McDaniels feel to me at the moment. These are terrible trades.

 

Agree--I'm going to be ill :sick:

All I can really think of is Sammy doesn't fit McDermott's new culture or something.

 

He seems to want total team first guys, not guys who go to the media asking for at least 10 targets a game?

 

You can really see what he's looking for in guys like Zay Jones and Tre White. Maybe Sammy doesn't fit that mould... maybe there was something we were not seeing in practice or the locker room.

 

That's about all I got... man what a painful day today is.

Why did they bring him back then? Why stop here, why not deal McCoy? Why bring in Boldin? If you want to tank, TANK!! Don't do this bs!!

hmmm well McCoy dressed and didn't play last night.

John Murphy actually on the air trying to spin this. He must not want to miss out on being invited over Russ's house for dinner

 

"this is not a tank" MY A$$

For?

Matthews is a bum. I'm not even a Watkins guy but it's turrible. turrible. turrible.

 

We now have the SLOWEST group of WR's. Matthews and Zay is a horrible long term combo.

At least this board's love affair with Sammy is over

 

 

Why keep TT now? Trade him too like to the Ravens. TT is good enough now to put us at 5-11 and still not high enough to get a QB in the draft

 

Shady gone too maybe

Sammy is gone at the end of the year, he was never going to sign here. They just tried to get compensation with picks.

Jesus, Matthews is the Eagles third best WR. Decent slot guy, but we now have 3 slot receivers!

 

Perfect for this O....
