Well at least we have a good first-rounder! Wait we might not!

my point about the philly thing is, they run the ball about 15-20 times a game. westbrooke will get 10-12 of those carries. so we didnt want duckett running the ball against us, what, about 8 carries a game? last time i checked, he is not jim brown

The Danny proved how little he knew about personnel decisions in 2000 and Vinny and Gibbs proved how little they know about personnel decisions this season. If you look at the teams that are consistent in the NFL they dont have big free agent spending sprees and dont trade away draft picks.

Snyder had nothing to do with it. He just writes the checks.

If you have to make a major trade that early in the season because your featured running back goes down, then obviously your team is not set up correctly from the beginning. That's why you have backup players, and players capable of carrying the load until your intended player can return to the lineup. If you have to make a trade because a starter goes down, that certainly does not speak very well of your backups.

There were some who lend credence to the concept Duckett was signed to keep him from signing with a division foe. I would have no problem with that either if their intention was to keep him, and signing him to a new contract.

You keep on living in your fantasy world. If you think snyder has no input you have another thing coming. He is in on everything......just remember the decision makers for this franchise they go in this order snyder, gibbs, cerrato. Snyder holds the tie breaking vote. So you do the math on that one.

My question is, what is this thing that he has coming?

Seriously, stop with the Snyder bashing. All the evidence that is available to us indicates that Snyder has bent over backwards to accomidate our revered HOF coach. There are only a few owners in this league I would rather have controlling my team than him. He wants to win and will pony up amounts of money for that that no one else will. The reasons for this team's lack of success have had less to do with him every year since 2000, and I would argue, nothing to do with him this year.

Regarding the author of this thread, as Brent Musberger would say, we should nickname you Scoop.

I am aware that it's a figure of speech, it's just one that you happen to be using incorrectly.

You just spared me a fucking heart attack. Thanks for your post.
