Wouldn't you rather beat a healthy Eagles team? It would be a bit more of an accomplishment that way. Do you really want to listen to people tell you that the only reason your team won was because their #1 weapon was out for the game?
if him being out gets us a w im all for it! wins are hard enough to come by in the nfl! i never understood why people would have a problem w/a great player being out, and then saying i want to play the best they have! to me, thats like saying in hockey. i hope we dont score on a power play cuz i wanna beat the team at full strength. football and all sports in general are about exposing another teams weakness.

Eagle fans may not want to hear this.

PFT: Westbrook surgery more serious than suggested

The Friday debridement of running back Brian Westbrook’s ankle has been characterized by agent Todd France as a “minor procedure.”

Per Bob Brookover of the Philadelphia Inquirer, it’s anything but.

“I’m just concerned that it is being underplayed,” an unnamed source close to the situation told Brookover. “It’s a lot more than a little spur and it’s much more than the knee arthroscopy he had [in February].”

Still, a team source told Brookover that it’s not a “major procedure.”

      i love people with no medical experience making tenuous assumptions based on, uh, the fact his dad sucked in every practical lab in med school and had to go into psychiatry its fun to think of what these same fans would be saying with any other profession "well his dad was a cardiologist so obviously he knows how to stay calm." "well his dad was a neurologist so oviously he keeps his brain waves at a low level and isn't at risk of seizure, which is good (obviously)." "well his dad is a surgeon so he knows how to overcome his lack of confidence over height." "well his dad was a pediatrician so that's why he looks like a child, but kids don't get injured easily and have limitless potential so-"

      Oh it’s made the decision easier knowing we were years away from competing. He just obviously didn’t think it was some sort of clown show as he took a job with that staff and still hangs around to help. Injuries were the major concern. Willis retired “early” as well, plus there was another very young LB in SF that did. Positions that take a lot of impact are starting to not push themselves too late in their careers to protect their long term health.

      Obviously his health was the reason but the state of the team definitely helped. Luke doesn't strike me as someone who cares about individual accomplishments much at all. He loved the game and he wanted to win with the Panthers.  He wouldn't risk his life to go chase a ring elsewhere. It was difficult for him to step away from a team that was bad, if the Panthers were serious contenders I really think he would have tried to see it through.  Everything worked out the way that it was meant to in the end. It was sad seeing his career cut short but if he had a suffered a serious injury from football I can't even imagine. EDIT: To be clear I don't think the medical staff was part of his decision at all. It just helped that the team was far from winning a SB when he bowed out.
