Who do you think is going in the First to the Birds?

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

Well, I have good news for you, then.  I have the Eagles trading their 2nd and one of the 4ths to move up and take Moss at #39 overall in my Eagles mock.  Since I'm brilliant, it will obviously happen.

if they could only figure out why Reggie Brown had no problems learning the playbook...  whatever chromosome he has they need to find in whatever WR they draft next.

Skyler Green > Sinorice Moss.

I think there are two simple things that contributed to Reggie's first-year *success*:

1.  He is a confident/talented guy, but he's also relatively humble.  Guys like Freddie Mitchell and, to a lesser extent, Billy McMullen think they're so good that they should be able to succeed just doing whatever they want to do.

2.  As soon as Pinkston went down, he knew that he'd have a great opportunity to get in there and play.  It's gotta be hard for a lot of rookies when they know they are relatively buried on the depth chart, especially as a WR in Philadelphia.  Brown saw an opportunity, and he worked at making the most of it.

once TO and donovan went out and they realized what the qb situation was and that reggie was going to be the number one guy they simplified his requirements and that of the offense as mcmahon certainly was incapable of running the normal andy offense

look at reggies stats before TO went out...yes i know TO will obviously take numbers from him....but he was absolutely invisible...i think he had like 7 catches in the first six games....and that was with donovan throwing all over sf and kc

you should be shot for trying to predict trades in the second round of a mock draft...even prediciting what exact spot the trade up will be for wtf?

i still like it

stats were they way they were for any number of reasons.  That is really besides the point.  From day one everyone acknowledged that Reggie Brown was not having problems learning the playbook like previous rookie WR's had.   That came from everywhere... coaches, media, other players etc.

Does anyone think that with the way things seem to be shaping up (Bush, Williams, Young, Leinhart, D'Brickashaw,..) that AJ Hawk could fall down further than expected and maybe create a ripple affect for Bunkley/Ngata?

I have a feeling that if a DT or Justice arent there at 14, the birds are going to trade back and pick a SAM(strong OLB) and a DT early in the second.

Ha!  Well, it's all in good fun.  I figure predicting the Eagles not to trade picks around is about as dumb as guessing exactly which ones they'll make.

his play showed otherwise

ill believe it when he comes out this year when he will be in the opponenets eyes the #1 wr on the eagles and in the full offense in real meaningful nfl games produces

im not saying he wont do it but i wanna see it before i give him his phd in andys offense...to say well his rookie year was better than freddie mitchells or all the other bums theyve had before him is not enough for me

The thing is there are a lot of rookie receivers that go on to have good careers and don't show as much as he did in his first season.  One example would be Eric Moulds.

most definitely....but he also might never be more than a #3 guy

all im saying is people are annointing reggie brown because of a couple good games last year ignoring how many games he was absolutely invisible in...they are treating it as fine that hes the number 1 wr...when he really should be starting out as the #3 guy next year and move up from there

each players situation is much different but the attitiude towards brown right now is the same as it was towards greg lewis last offseason...where it was just an absolute lock that lewis would be fine and have a breakout year

[Drunkmasterflex]

Yeah but the thing is Greg Lewis had players around him when he was productive Brown didn't.  Take for instance the last game against the taterskins he was basically the only receiver that was any sort of threat, yet they were still unable to stop him.  In that game the Skins were fighting for a playoff spot so it wasn't like they were playing their chumps like we were.

[ice grillin you]

well i could say the taterskins thought they were gonna come in and just roll all over a team missing half their starting lineup and didnt take reggie or the eagles seriously...and when they finally did they dominated...i mean we could go on and on forever...the season will tell the truth...i just hope people arent bitterly disappointed in reggie this year

[SunMo]

while my the prediciton in my sig is still what I think, for the CF contest i had them trading up to Oakland's spot and taking Huff.
