T.J. Duckett Conspiracy

Of our twenty two starters on both offense and defense, only five are our very own draft choices. Samuels, Jansen and Dockery on the OL, Rogers, and Taylor in the defensive secondary. Is this really the way you want to build a football team?

No its not. All of the recently successful teams keep their draft picks and deveolp their own young hungry player that play hard so they can get a big payday. The skins give away draft picks and sign older free agents that appear to come here looking for a payday after a good contract year with another team. The results of both approaches speak for themselves.

ARGH. Guys, it's NOT 2000 ANYMORE. How many times do we have to say that?!?!?!?!?!?!? :doh:

I only use this quote when it's really appropriate, but it feels like I'm taking crazy pills.

My sentiments exactly. However only in the world of professional sports do you get paid before you work. In the real world I wonder how many employers would go bankrupt using that formula. I have never in my life had a job where I got paid before I worked. I have never had to wonder how teams like Philadelphia and other always wind up with a host of young talent year after year. Thed don't trade all their future away for players just looking for a stellar bonus and payday. Teams that build that way will always be in contention year after year.

those teams dont have a hall of famer coaching them. always keep that in your mind. i think a team like Philly took a superior quarterback in mcnabb, and put role players around him. other than Westbrook, their so called skill players suck. the key to any successful team is line play

We think the point attempting to be made here is the fact that their players are their own, and they repeat the process year after year. Philly has owned the NFC east for the last five years or so with last year being the exception, and that was because McNabb was out injured. When you consider what Philadelphia has spent on FA's the last five years compared to the Redskins, and where they have finished in the standinds each year is night and day. Having a Hall of Fame coach or expensive payroll does not guarantee either winning or success, if that were the case we would be unbeatable. We have witnesed first hand that you do not always get what you pay for

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Andy Reid will be in the HOF ... and philly has more than just d mac and westy (on defense at least).

Philly has owned the East, not because they are any good, but because everybody else in the East sucked. First time any other team had any success (last year), Philly took their rightful place (sewer). And...........Dallas, NY, and the Skins are under-achieveing again this year, and look who's excelling again. It's not a matter that they are good. Sadly, they have not had much competition.

We still continue to sign overage free agents way past their prime. Andre Carter is like 76, Marcus Washington is actually 53 years old, Randle El 45, Lloyd a young 35, and Portis is I think 100 years old.

Plus, keep in mind many in Philly did not consider McNabb a superior QB, as a matter of fact they didn't want the team to draft him, they wanted Ricky Williams instead. They took McNabb, drveloped him, and he has paid dividens for them, and again he was their player. We took Jason Campbell, and instead of developing him the way most teams would have, he's still at square one mainly because of our overwhelming desire to "win now". I could live with a loosing season if it meant we were attempting to develop a QB of the future. The QB is the heart and soul of every team from an offensive standpoint, it would serve us well to start thinking in that direction starting now.

Damn, I KNEW I was paying for those bastards social security. Seriously, I want to start taking bets on how long it'll be before media/fans/etc. realize that we're not overpaying for over-the-hill players.

We're just overpaying for young, over-HYPED players! :biggthump
