I haven't read it yet Krazy but i will (to busy keeping up with FA) but thanks for taking the time to write it.
Just Imagine this for the next 6-9 years. What a ride it will be 🙂 (PS, Zero should charge for this)

A good read. I also think it is a good idea whenever someone is writing an article it should be proof read and spell checked.

While it seems petty, if one is to be taken with credibility, the written word should be correct gramatically.


regular posts, in my opinion, don't matter as much since we are usually typing fast and posting. However, when a post is riddled with errors it can become distracting.

Nice job on the article. keep it up!

Good article, Krazzy. My thoughts on Ted Thompson exactly. A great GM. I look foward to more articles, maybe a Jordy Nelson article 😃

First attempt. Pretty good job. I agree with your views on Thompson to this point. The big determining factor now for me is can he finish the job. Can he make the FA moves when needed and get the team to the SB.

While there are some mistakes writing, (rebuild vs rebuilt) all in all pretty good. I would suggest you elaborate a little more now and then. Ex. after your listing of moves for 2006,2007,2008 you could have added another sentence or two. The summary of the results was a little short.

Look forward to future writings.

Good article, but this I have a huge issue with:

Running game always is more important than a passing game due to the control of the clock and the game.



I'd take a good passing team over a good running team any day of the week. Quarterbacks are more important than RBs. If you look at this page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Super_Bowl_champions 

And go down the list, you will see a lot of winners that won the SB without a dominant RB. You'll see a lot more teams with a dominant passing game but mediocre running game than vice versa. It's rare for a team to win it all with a lousy QB. The exception that immediately comes to mind of course is the Ravens in SB 35.

Let's look at the best RBs of recent days. Barry Sanders is in my opinion the best RB I've ever watched since I started following football in '76. As dominant as he was, he never saw the big game. Walter Payton is probably 2nd. Love the guy, but only saw the big game once and that's when they had the best D that I've ever seen. I've never seen such a dominant D. LT - great RB, HoF'er fo shizzle, but how many SBs? Emmitt Smith - excellent RB but he was on a dominating team.

Now top QBs - Montana, Young, Marino, Favre, Brady, and Manning. Marino never got that ring. He's the only one. Montana has 4. Young 1. Young would have had more had he played more years. Favre surprisingly only 1. Brady 3 and was VERY close to 4. Manning surprisingly only one considering he's been on such dominating teams.

Heck, the WCO has shown that you barely need a running game to have a dominant offense.

So I have to ask you a question - if you had the choice of Tom Brady or AP, which one do you choose (let's pretend Tom Brady is 100% healthy)? I'd take Brady. I love AP, but realistically, great QBs change games more than great RBs.

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems
beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason
beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back
Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous
Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D
packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show
TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half
