Eagles back in the mix

Eagles traded Mark Simoneau and a 4th round pick for Donte Stallworth. Granted its an upgrade and he's probably their best receiver now...he's still a #2 receiver. How many #2 receivers does a team need??? Reggie Brown, Todd Pinkston, Jabbar Gafney, Stallworth...plus I think they gave up too much to get him.

Oh well, still an upgrade over Stinkston.

I was hoping for Branch

Yes, the Eagles had plenty of legit #1 receivers they could have treded for this offseason...Walker, Branch, etc...

this news is very meh to me.

You need "The People's Champ" Freddie Mitchell back lol

Donte Stallworth = decent, but doesn't give the Iggles what they need to win that division.

I guess this is better than Hank Baskett as the #2. We can throw Stinkston into the garbage where she belongs

 

[Deeko]

Yea, honestly, he's the best receiver they've had in years discounting T.O. He's still not a dominating game-changer, but it definitely will help them.

Look at what Donny has done with trash for receivers in the past (minus the year and a half with T.O.). If anyone can handle a weak receiving corps, it's him. I'd say the Eagles will win the division. Washington is a sham, Giants depend too much on Eli's progress, and the Cowboys will implode soon after T.O. gets his panties in a bunch over a bad pass.

It was certainly a good trade I think.

It's a shame the Redskins are winless in preseason, albeit it's only "preseason". Right now, I'd have to give the edge to the Giants. Eagles?? FUHGETABOTIT

Weren?t the Steelers winless last preseason?

5. It won't get better until they get a running game. Giants win that division, yet will still lose to my Panthers in the playoffs again. GO PANTHERS!

At WORST, and this is absolutely at worst because I don't think it will happen, T.O. will be cut/benched and they will play without him. The team isn't going to "implode" because they don't have a pansy front office like the Eagles that let him get away with murder. The Eagles sucked last year because they sucked, its so easy for their fans to blame it on T.O., but face it...that wasn't the problem.

Dallas/NY will battle for first, Washington/Philly will battle for 3rd.

I take all of this back. The Eagles will be last in their division.
