2006 NFL Off-Season

[the pinjockey 0]

Wow, apparently the prolbem with getting Broderick Bunkley signed isn't the 5-6 yr problem. Reportedly Bunkley's agent might not have even given the team an initial demand yet.

 

The Bunkley situation could be a bigger disaster. The team keeps saying it expects to sign Bunkley soon, since 26 other first-round picks have signed deals.

 

But Wichard wasn't even speaking with the Eagles as of Monday, and the team may not even have contract terms from Wichard.

 

And the chances of Bunkley playing well aren't very good, according to an excellent column from the Inquirer's Bob Brookover:

 

Link: .philly.com/mld/philly/15167526.htm.

 

Basically, rookies who miss their first training camp just don't play well - ever. Andy Reid and Jim Johnson said the same thing at a press conference last week.

 

And rookie LaJuan Ramsey has already taken Bunkley's spot on the defensive line.

 

The bottom line: If Bunkley doesn't sign this week, the team will just move on.

 

Eventually, like with the 1990 Jackson holdout, Bunkley would take the Eagles first contract offer, but he will not be a force on the field for 2006.

 

Also, the Allentown Morning Call reported that Bunkley wasn't returning phone calls from Eagles teammates, as well as coaches.

 

If this is the case they certainly need to hold out for the 6th year. At this rate 2006-7 is going to be a wash for him, so you can't have him essentially starting as a rookie in 07-08 on a 4-year deal.

Wow, that sucks

I hate that the Dolphins have Saban. He really is a great coach. They're gonna be a playoff team soon. Fuckers.

Why is Bunkley being stupid?

He played at Florida State. They produce one smart player every three or four years, obviously this wasn't the year.

Plus, have you seen the guy. He defines the term "Hulk smash".

[Guest Princess Leena]

Now I'm glad the Bills and Cards passed on him.

[Guest Flyboy]

Should've took Chad Jackson or Santonio Holmes, silly Eagles.

They got Jeremy Bloom and Jason Avant who could turn out good in the future years.

 

Plus there are rumors going around that the Eagles could be making a trade with the Broncos for Ashley Lelie.

They would be better off with Bunkley at wideout than Lelie.

[Guest Vitamin X]

Ashley Lelie will be their next Todd Pinkston.

I know your being scarcastic, but that was a lame attempt at it. Considering for the last few years he was the leader of Yards Per Catch.

 

And with a better QB then Jake the Snake, I would think Lelie would be a good addition to our offense.

Michael Bennett to the Chiefs.

Lelie would be a horrible fit for the team that doesn't run the ball. His only use is running fly patterns, and being kinda tall.

Meh. The only Eagles' WR that gathers attention from me at this point in time is Reggie Brown. Other than that? Eh.

The best description I've heard of Lelie is that he's a slightly less feminine version of Todd Pinkston.

Well he will be a good replacement for Pinkston. Because from what I hear about Pinkston in the training camp reports is it's not looking to good for him.

[Guest Princess Leena]

He's just about as bad as Pinkston. But, his main problem is that he's the worst route runnr in the NFL. In the rare cases he can get by a jam.

[Guest Vitamin X]

That's true, but the problem is he's not. He's going to be playing with Donovan McNabb.

If you think Jake the Snake is a better QB then Donovan McNabb, then you don't know anything about football. That is by far the dumbest thing I've seen in this thread. Are you smoking crack? Seriously. McNabb at 60% >>>> Jake Plummer.

 

Just compare the stats for fuck sakes.

[teke184 0]

Ugh...

 

The Saints had probably 25-50% of the teams in the league asking about Bennett and they trade him for a future pick?

 

 

I know it's pretty much a free pick by trading a FA signee who you've never put on the field before, but I'd have preferred to get a more immediate need filled than a likely 4th round pick next year.

 

(The Rams were offering a 4th rounder, but the Saints wanted to trade him outside the NFC. There is no confirmation on what pick the Chiefs traded for him.)

Christ, it was a joke!

 

But, since you want to go there, compare for yourself:

 

Donovan's career stats through 94 games in 7 seasons: 84.1 QB Rating, 58.4% completion rate (which is by far his most pathetic number), 19,433 yards passing, 134 TD's, and 66 interceptions.

 

Jake's career stats through 127 games in 9 seasons: 75.1 QB Rating, 57.3% completion rate (LOL), 27,259 yards passing, 150 TD's, and (this is the difference between him and McNabb) 148 interceptions.

 

McNabb is probably the most overrated quarterback in the league. He has a weak arm, but he has also traditionally had no weapons surrounding him, and he's been hurt a lot. Jake's also played on some pretty bad teams, and obviously there's no denying Donovan's the better quarterback of the two, but it's arguable whether how much better McNabb is. Put McNabb's numbers at "60%" as you said, and he isn't that much > Plummer.

 

Smoke that.

Weak arm doesn't mean shit. And he doesn't have a weak arm, it's not the strongest, but by no means weak. Joe Montana never had a strong arm and he is the GOAT.

Bubby Brister could've won a superbowl with that Niners team.

Ignorant statement....

 

I'm sure Bubby Brister can lead a team to 31 fourth quarter comebacks to also huh?

 

Tom Brady is just a system QB to huh?

[Guest Princess Leena]

Bills sign FB Alan Ricard. He will suck, guaranteed. We're hearing the exact same "HE HELPED JAMAL LEWIS TO 2000 YARDS" junk. Just like we heard with that fat piece of shit, Bennie Anderson.

 

The signing is rather strange, also... considering the Bills still have Daimon Shelton.

How so? I think Brady's proved himself, especially for years now. He has a hell of an arm also, anyone remember that touchdown pass he threw while lying on his back a couple seasons ago?

 

He also, you know, completes his passes and does well even with below-average reeivers.

Don't hate.

 

It's sad watching Pats/Bills games. You can easily see how poised and confident Brady is compared to whatever loser the Bills have at QB, not to mention much more accurate. I do find the GREATEST QB EVER stuff to be a bit much, though.
