Ronnie Brown to the Eagles

The Eagles continue to amaze everyone. Ronnie Brown on a one-year. Amazing.

I'm looking forward to watch the Eagles this season. They were my favorite team to watch last year. Hopefully Vick is just as exciting as last year.

despite all these signings if Mike Vick (who I love) gets hurt, which tends to happen. They still can't beat the Packers or Falcons...hell the Saints and the Bucs would give a Vickless Eagles a run for their money

LOL.

I can smell the desperation all the way down here in South Awesome!!

Desperation of the free agents that are signing in Philly? It's not like the Eagles are throwing tons of money at people to entice them to play there. Even Asomugha said he knew in March that he wanted to play for Philly but the Eagles didn't make a play for him.

Philly has become the place that everyone wants to play whether it is in baseball or football. They might not want to live there, but South Jersey is just a short ride over the bridge.

They are trying to buy a championship after coming so close last year. Its Superbowl or bust and i'm thinking bust because i believe Green bay is still a better team. NO & ATL are pretty much even steven with Philly.....But buy away Philly buy away.

I don't think the Eagles are better than Green Bay and are on par with NO and ATL but how are they trying to buy a championship? They have to stay within the same financial guidelines as everyone else.Agents are coming to them saying that my guy wants to play for you and will do so for less money than he could get somewhere else. Are the Eagles supposed to say no?

The Eagles still have plenty of holes and this team has a whole new defensive scheme to learn. It will take time to gel. A trip to the SB will run through Mike Vick which I am not 100% sold on yet. The NFC is tough and it will be no cake walk. You make it sound like they are the Yankees and spending so much more than everyone else. They aren't throwing money at people.

Yeah but they already have two standout CB's so they add another? + Jackson is pissed and wants more money and Mackin is still hurting. It just looks like overkill in the secondary when there are holes to fix on the offense. But i guess after years of watching the Cowboys and Redskins try (and fail) to buy a ring its now the Eagles turn to give it a go.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
