Dave Spadaro, get your head out of your ass.

I know this guy works for the PhiladelphiaEagles.com, but does he think everyone reading it is a complete moron?  Exhibit A, today's write up titled "Here are Some Questions Still To Be Answered"

Off the top, I find it very difficult to believe anyone can think the Eagles the Eagles haven't improved in the free-agency period. The offense returns Donovan McNabb, retains Correll Buckhalter and adds defense-stretching receiver Kevin Curtis, who replaces defense-stretching Donte' Stallworth. Depth (Jeff Garcia) needs to be replaced at one position.

On the other side of the ball, the Eagles retains end Juqua Thomas, safety Quintin Mikell and cornerback William James, returns end Jevon Kearse and adds tackle Montae Reagor. Depth (Michael Lewis, Rod Hood, Shawn Barber) needs to be replaced, agreed.

On special teams, the Eagles add blazing speed in Bethel Johnson and retain Mikell, the MVP of the special teams the last two years.

 

Did I miss something?  We have improved?  Doesn't that mean what you've added is better than what you've lost?  So Kevin Curtis, Bethel Johnson, and Montea Reagor is an upgrade over Donte Stallworth, Jeff Garcia, Michael Lewis, Rod Hood, and Shawn Barber?  Dude, don't make a claim and provide evidence to the contrary at the same time. 

 By the way, how much were you singing the praises of New England and Minnesota when they brought in Bethel Johnson and his blazing speed?

A few highlights: - McNabb's completion percentage was a bit higher in games Stallworth did not play - McNabb's yards per pass attempt were also higher - The Eagles scored 24 pts vs the Saints in the regular season without Stallworth, and 24 pts in the playoffs with him. - Most importantly,

I Hate the Eagles During the Off Season

Who's more annoying than the Eagles during the off season? Seriously. I hate this team from March - September. It has been widely recognized that the NFL has become a 12 month sport. Training camp, preseason, regular season, post season, free agency, draft, training camp, preseason, etc. The Eagles have managed to have exactly one exciting off season that I can recall (2004 with T.O. and Kearse, we also resigned Trotter that year), and how did we fair that season? Oh yeah, we only went to the SUPER BOWL!! So let's see, what other free agents have we signed over the years? Was anyone
