Nobody even heard of this guy until he became a free agent of the lastest "super bowl winner".

After a little more than a decade of Danny Boy's directions, who but Redskins' fans would know more about "paper champs"?
Someone said that he was glad Jenkins signed elsewhere because when he was talking with the Skins it was "only about the money". Given the Skins' reputation around the league and their on field sucesses over the last 10 years, everyone who negotiates with the Skins is doing it "only about the money". It is going to take a while to change that image - - and it is going to take a string of winning seasons using a different philosophy to make the change.
Coach Shanahan and GM Allen, you are on the clock...
No truer words have ever been spoken.

Lets not be sour grapes here...the guy is good and makes most teams better....if he came to the skins, I'd been pumped up...now he is going to the Eagles...not cool.
We had a shot to add a talent to our team and aparently keep him off our competitors....it looks like a loss for us and a gain for the eagles to me...at least we did the same to Dallas.
Regarding Vince Young...nice backup to Vick....since he is another mobile QB..Eagles seem to love those guys...all the way back to Randall Cunningham...if you think about it....it is historically the only formula that makes them win.
Another thing...paper champs under Reid have a much greater chance for success that we did...especially with a consistently winning team.
This signing pisses me off frankly...both of the Eagles signings...not to mention them getting all those draft picks the last 2 years for QBs. If they do it a third time with Vince Young, I will vomit

Two 30 year old vets to long term deals. That cap is going to be hell in a few years. They still have to get MV and DJ signed to long term contracts as well. They have about a 2-3 year window in which to win the SB.

And thats not going to happen.
I predict about then we'll have some frequent fllyer miles to the playoffs.

The Eagles do seem to love the playground type QB's....Could that be one of the reasons why the big one has always seemed to elude them?

I'd say closer to two than three.

people think that all teams FU like we have. Its a 5 yr deal for only 25 mil. We signed them at age 30 to a 3 yr deal with the first yr worth about half that.

id take a 2-3 year window with 1/2 of their squad than a 20 year window with our squad.
sorry, but the eagles will be ridiculous this year. u can chalk up two losses for us already.
