Last year, the Eagles signed Simonteau. He's the worst starting LB in the league according to you. What did the Eagles do? They made it to the NFC championship game. And Trotter led the Redskins to - - five wins and a high draft pick and his ticket out of town unless he takes a 75% pay cut.

First of all I believe Trotter was injured the year we picked him up.....from redskins.com.."Trotter started 12 games as middle linebacker for the Redskins defense in 2002, unfortunately having his season cut short due to a knee injury. He tore ligaments in his right knee against Dallas on Thanksgiving Day, ending his season. Despite missing four games, Trotter finished fourth among Redskins defenders in tackles with 104 (72 solo), adding one interception and six pass breakups. He served as one of the leaders and the quarterback of the defense from his middle linebacker position."
Second of all are you saying Simmoneau led the Eagles to the NFC championship game? I watched him get burned and ran over more than any starting MLB in the league. The Eagles got to that game because of the solid offense and other defensive players, not to mention that there coaching is pretty damn solid. As much as it pains me to say this there team was more talented than ours last year thats why they got is far as they did, not because they had an amazing MLB like Ray Lewis that led there defense. Don't get me wrong I am not comparing Trotter to Ray Ray but I am saying that the Eagles defense would have been that much better with a MLB like Trotter.
