Take it for what its worth considering it is coming from PFT. Eagles are looking for LBers and Kevin Curtis could be on the block.

Not sure how much, if any, Curtis would help. I'm thinking Johnson, a former starter in Cincy, could be a good trade.

I also find it interesting that in the comments some Eagle fans are talking about the Eagles trading McNabb and allowing Kolb to start the rest of the season. Once again, not sure how much it would help...

Id rather work on improving pass protection and using the very capable receivers we already have. Hasn't Gross already given up more sacks than all of last season? Didn't we just make him one of the top paid OT's?

Getting a new WR at this point would equate to buying a newer, big trailer to haul with a truck with engine and transmission problems- it would cost a lot and wouldn't make a bit of difference.

Yeah, let's trade away another draft pick for another mediocre WR. That will make things better.

BTW, why are so many people acting like the Panthers are the only team in the league that are reluctant to make a trade in the middle of the season? There is a reason why very few of these in season trades ever happen, and it's not just something specific to the Panthers. It's simple...most of the players on the trading block aren't worth what the team wants for them, and most of the names people are mentioning aren't on the trading block in the first place. Brady Quinn is a perfect example of a player who's not worth it. I guarantee you that Cleveland is gonna want more than a 4th round pick for him even though he really hasn't proven himself at all in the NFL.

Monstercat, I really respect you so all I'm going to say is you need to read before posting. The Eagles aren't even looking for draft picks, actually they might be inclined to give up some for a LBer.

It's still not worth it, because we're not very deep at LBer either. And I wasn't just talking about this thread, I'm talking about all the "we should trade for so and so" threads. Unless Houston is willing to trade Andre Johnson for or the Falcons are willing to trade Matt Ryan for something the Panthers could afford, I just don't see the point.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By cranky · Posted

      First, am I wrong? I looked back over all his posts here and I didn't see anything positive other than Shough. Second, pretty sure if you had read the post I was responding to, you would have seen CRA made poo personal as well . You just choose to address me instead of him. Not sure why?????

      Give Legette another season?

      By SCMunnerlyn1 · Posted

      I wanted XL but I felt he should have been a 2nd rounder but I understand the logic trading up just to get the option. A safety net for your gamble.    Certainly disappointed with his receivers development but i like his down field blocking and I imagine that's what's keeping him on the field.

      Greg Cosell on Bryce Young

      By cranky · Posted

      Pretty sure it is a given Young lacks typical QB size and strength and he is here simply because his other attributes more than make up for it. My point is not to indicate anyone "settled" for him but rather to remind people that there have been plenty of big, strong QB's that have not lived up to expectations. Jamis Winston, Anthony Richardson, Trey Lance, JaMarcus Russel are a few examples. They all have the physical attributes coveted by teams and yet none have had sustained success in the NFL. And yes, there are QBs that do have both but there aren't many and some of the ones still playing were failures with their early teams. Saying Young is a bust simply based upon his size (and I do think it is as simple as that for a few guys around here) is unfair to both him and the team.
