Reggie Brown: Future #1? According To Mike Quick - "Yes."

[Dillen]

I don't think a top WR is a top prioroity, because we won with okay WR's before and we can do it again

what exactly did they win?  a Super Bowl?  no.

Not to mention the NFC sucked then, too.

Reggie Brown was one of the diamonds among the shtein this year. I think he will become a very good player and be our #1 WR. Not next year but in 2007 he will be a #1 WR.

Sooo....we won a Super Bowl with a star reciever?

Oops. No.


I think Ok WR's, with heavy use of an athletic TE and a RB who LB's can't cover (two things we didn't really have and/or use back when Thrash was our #1...Chad Lewis and Duce were good, but definately not the athlete's that Westy and LJ are, or have the same speed), and also running with Westbrook/Moats/??? would be just fine for the offense in the "improved" NFC.

If We can get someone like Moulds, fine, I'd like it. But I'd much rather see them improve on the lines, the LB's, maybe a better FB.

And anyone who says BillyMac didn't show you SOMETHNIG good is crazy. Yeah he had a few dropped balls, but so did everyone's hero Greg Lewis. Even Reggie had some drops. But McMullen made a bunch of good/great catches this year too, using his hands instead of his body. Something he didn't do his first couple of years. I don't htink he can be/will be a starter either, but let him compete with Greg Lewis for the #3 spot. If he doesn't win, fine, he'll be a good small role player in the #4 spot. Unless the Eagles sign someone like Moulds, I think it'll be #1. Reggie Brown, #2 Todd Pinkston (assuming he's still as fast as he was, because even I admit he's useless if he can't run down the field and catch the deep ball), #3 Greg Lewis, #4 Billy Mac.

DC,

Good info!  Considering all those other WR's were touted as #1's which I believe all ended up being, Brown's numbers are very, very impressive.

That'd be nice... if that was the offense we currently run.  The thing is, we throw the ball so much... it's assinine not to have some quality guys in a position you rely so heavily on.  Yeah, LJ catches balls here and there and contributes... but with the way that the Eagles throw downfield now... you've got to have some guys that can make plays with some kind of consistency.  We simply don't have that at WR.

If We can get someone like Moulds, fine, I'd like it. But I'd much rather see them improve on the lines, the LB's, maybe a better FB.

With their extra draft picks and their cap situation, the Eagles are in a position to easily do all of the above.  It's not like it's a situation that they have to choose one or the other.

And anyone who says BillyMac didn't show you SOMETHNIG good is crazy. Yeah he had a few dropped balls, but so did everyone's hero Greg Lewis.  Even Reggie had some drops.

So it's OK that we have an inconsistent WR in McMullen, because we've got another one in Lewis?  That just shows me what kind of help we need at WR.  Yeah, Reggie's had some drops, but he's also a rookie who's caught for more yards on 5 less catches than Lewis, who's been starting the whole year, and doubled the TD total by Lewis and McMullen, COMBINED. (4 to 2)

But McMullen made a bunch of good/great catches this year too, using his hands instead of his body. Something he didn't do his first couple of years. I don't htink he can be/will be a starter either, but let him compete with Greg Lewis for the #3 spot. If he doesn't win, fine, he'll be a good small role player in the #4 spot. Unless the Eagles sign someone like Moulds, I think it'll be #1. Reggie Brown, #2 Todd Pinkston (assuming he's still as fast as he was, because even I admit he's useless if he can't run down the field and catch the deep ball), #3 Greg Lewis, #4 Billy Mac.

Too many questions there for me.  Sounds like we're just smelling a bunch of asses and trying to figure out which one stinks the least.  McMullen's shown me that he's too inconsistent to do anything more than take 5-8 snaps a game and hopefully make a catch or two.  Greg's shown that he just doesn't have the ability to be more than a #3... I'm not one to label him soft like a lot of others have because of that INT against Seattle, but I didn't like what I saw there either.  Pinkston, even healthy... is a picture of inconsistency... but now, we have no idea how he's going to recover from this achilles injury.  I just read from the main site that he says that he's not even sure he'll be ready by the post draft mini-camp.  That's too long to wait and see for an unknown at a position of need.

Not addressing WR this offseason is a mistake.  Plain and simple.  I'm not saying they need a complete overhaul... but a vet to kind of even things out.  I'm more than happy with Brown at this point, but I don't think he's ready to get it done at the level we need him to without some help yet.

Moulds or Randle-El or someone of that caliber
Brown
Lewis
Pinky
McMullen
McCants/Jenkins/Ford

= I'm happy.

no...no...and NO!

Billy McMullen has been stealing paychecks for 3 years now. 

[MadMarchHare]

Expect him to keep doing so.  We won't sign a FA receiver.  I'm sure of it.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Between you being "sure of" the Eagles not signing any FA receiver and Wingspan having "no doubt" that Reggie Brown will be a stud #1 receiver, we sure have our share of psychics/geniuses around.

Thanks for the in-depth analysis.

[PhillyGirl]

An idiotic comment like that deserves the same in return.

Congratulations MMH - you got the first official eye-roll of the year.
