hes tied for the most drops with steve smith who has had his drops in two less games

I'm nominating this for worst post of the year. You've got to be kidding me with even bringing Steve Smith into this conversation. In two less games SS has what, 130 more yards? He's single handedly led his team to a couple of victories and makes their offense potent on his own.

Seriously. I mean. Christ.

Brown has 7 drops in 8 games which is 14 per regular season. At this rate, when his new extension kicks in, his base salary will be about $300,000 per drop, plus incentives.

Really though, looks he will only be making $4-5 million a year around 2011 - 2014. By that time, $4-5 mil will be nothing for a decent WR. The 10 year veteran minimum might be half that much by 2014.

What the hell is with extending all these underachievers? Is Buck next?

they obviously just needed to be catapulted into unnecessarily rich instead of just really rich status to start performing up to expectations.

youre missing the point....the worst post of the year would be to suggest that reggie brown not get an extension because he has some drops this year...why bring up the fact that ss has more yards than him...he should shouldnt he since hes a better wr?...

if you want to say reggie brown shouldnt get an extension because you think he stinks then thats fine...but to single out he shouldnt get a contract simply because of drops in the first eight games of the year then thats ridiculous and ill say that steve smith doesnt deserve what hes getting as he has the same number of drops in less games and has two and half times fewer touchdowns as reggie brown...in fact stever smith has five more drops than he does td's this year...but all that doesnt matter because we know steve smith is a great wr...

therefore you must also use the same thinking with reggie...yeah he has some drops this year but in the big picture is he worth the extension or not...i think he is and can be a very good #2 guy...they finally have a guy who appears to be more than solid and will have this offense down pat in a couple more years...why let someone like that go when we know it takes four years minimum for a wr to learn this ridiculous offense and the track record for drafting wr's here has been putrid...oh but all that stuff doesnt matter....get rid of him he has to many drops this year

Look at how smart we are for drafting guys and then signing them to extensions!

Exactly.

IGY, you of all people know that this team settles for what they have rather than going out and improving themselves. This is a perfect example of that. And now they're signing up to settle for the next EIGHT YEARS. They're rewarding players for underachieving. I'm not saying that they shouldn't sign him for his drops, though 7 drops through half a season is ridiculous. I'm saying that they could have easily waited until he actually proves to be a consistent player before throwing money at him. He's got what, 3 and a half years left on his contract? Jesus Christ.

i dont think having reggie brown as your #2 wr is settling

if you think hes a #3 or 4 then thats where we disagree

Rome · November 10, 2006, 08:14:19 AM

I don't think Brown has underachieved one bit. I just don't see him as a true #1 receiver. It's not his fault that the Eagles see him that way either. He is what he is: A good possession receiver. Nothing more, nothing less.

ice grillin you · November 10, 2006, 08:17:11 AM

he has five touchdowns this year and averages over 15 yards a catch...thats not a possesion receiver

he is a solid #2 nfl wr right now and has a chance to be a great #2

Rome · November 10, 2006, 08:21:27 AM

Actually, those stats make him a possession receiver precisely, IGY.

rjs246 · November 10, 2006, 08:21:35 AM

He's an inconsistent player who they had locked up for a few more years. Why shell out now? I like Reggie too. He's a starting caliber player. But why sign him now, while he's in the middle of a season that has been so up and down? Why not wait until you know what you have? 10+ drops a year sucks and if that's going to be a constant, I wouldn't want him on the team for the better part of a decade.

ice grillin you · November 10, 2006, 08:32:36 AM

because hes showed that he has the ability to become an excellent #2 guy...as opposed to someone like patterson who has showed pretty much nothing to warrant an extension...id rather lock up reggie now for the rest of his career and be set at that #2 wr spot for solid money than to let him get better while he approachs the end of his contract and then wants to get caked off reggie wayne style and the eagles are left with having to let someone go as the colts did with edgerrin james

seems like you would not ever extend anyone until they get near the end of their deal...i think the eagles go overboard on the extensiopns but i also think there are times when its warranted...because there are times when youre gonna run into a situation where they are now with lj...a guy whos developed into one of the better pass catching te's in the league and who probably is going to jet for big money and leave the eagles with matt schobel as their te next year
