Eagles have released Jason Avant

He's got great hands. He's a real good guy. You throw the ball in his general direction, he catches it!

 

It's terrible that this is the selling point.  On most teams, thats just an expectation for any WR on the roster

He never really lived up to their expectations in Philly.

Whether those were reasonable, you can debate.

 

 

Meh, I would say he met all expectations both on and off the field. Andy Reid moved up to draft him in the 4th round because he wanted a receiver with "great hands, toughness, leadership; intelligence, and good route running". He hit on everyone of those and I can't think of one person in Philly (in the organization or fans) that would say he fell short of anything. He is probably only behind Brian Dawkins as the most beloved player recently with the Eagles.

 

Avant would be a good addition to any team including the Panthers but I don't think he really fits a need here. His game is the exact same one Steve Smith should be running. Gritty, tough, slot receiver running intermidiate routes and making the tough plays.

    • The OP for one. Asserting that people blamed Bryce for the loss in the title of the thread. That was not the prevailing sentiment at the time this thread was created. Very much a minority thing, I don’t remember but maybe one person if that, putting it on Bryce as the main reason. Troll thread. Did a good job too. Look at the pages.  Someone counting up the draft picks as 10 on offense and 10 on defense or whatever the number was, today or yesterday - of which the offensive ones were heavily 1s and 2s and the defensive picks were heavily day 3 and declaring that proof that the offense wasn’t favored like people claim. The obvious neglect we watched for two years. I spent time refuting that bullshit because someone needed to.  People saying we are bad horrible people and hate poor lil Bryce for no reason, as if it is a personal thing. Constantly.   Along the same lines is people saying we non Bryce fans would rather lose than have him play well and the team wins. That we are mad when the team wins   Point illustrated.       
    • Might not have been in this specific thread... As far as the other, I'm not necessarily reading every post that isn't responding to me so I don't think I saw that. Mind you, we've certainly seen the "not a real fan" stuff on here before.
