  • One of the better postmortems I have read re: Jackson

    I think Kapadia does a good job trying to objectively look at things here:

    Agreed. Read that a few hours ago. Thought it was excellent. I'm really finding impatience with the people who are happy about this. And I'm really starting to doubt Chip Kelly. The idea that a locker room should be a bunch of guys sitting in a circle singing kumbaya seems ludicrous. None of us are friends with all our colleagues.

    Why wasn't Jackson suspended or fined last year if his conduct was so detrimental to the team? I expect the most talented people to be divas in every line of work. I don't have a problem with divas. In fact, they're a big part of a successful equation. There are diva engineers, diva scientists, and diva lawyers. And they're usually the most talented people in their organization.

      People that are happy about this are few and far between.

        I haven't seen/heard of one single person that is happy about this

        Chip didn't think the man fit into the culture he is trying to create in Philly

        This type of thing happens in the business world daily

        Time to sack up guys and root against him and his Racist ass team

          No, there are happy people because of this.
          500 internet fights, that's the number I figured when I first joined igglephans. 500 internet fights and you could consider yourself a legitimate internet-tough guy. You need them for experience, to develop leather skin. So I got started. Of course along the way you stop thinking about being tough and all that. It stops being the point. You get past the silliness of it all. But then...after...you realize that's what you are.

              Bullshit. A lot of eagles fans are ecstatic right now. They want their athletes to be good lil chillin' who say yes sir and no sir when they are addressed. DeSean was absolutely hated by a lot of the fan base. The same ones who hated TO.

                Yeah some but not many. The majority arent happy just some of the majority are not ready to torch the linc over it... at least till it is known why things were done.

                      Lets say one of those fucks are no longer with us. You can read the first page and pick out the rest. Giggling like lil school girls.

                        I just liked:

                        8. Somewhere along the line, I heard the argument that Foles was better throwing to Cooper than Jackson.

                        Huh?

                        Thanks to friend of the blog Derek Sarley for digging up the numbers.

                        Foles completed 50 of 71 passes (70.4 percent) for 808 yards and seven TDs to Jackson.

                        He completed 34 of 57 (59.6 percent) for 673 yards and seven TDs to Cooper.

                        The truth is Foles was money to every receiver he targeted last year. But to suggest he and Jackson didn't have great chemistry is silly.
                        Birds 24/7 and Sheil Kapadia/Tim McManus are head and shoulders above every other Eagles writer/blog. Their stuff is always on point and about as objective as possible.

                          You're full of shit.
                          Obscenity is the last refuge of an inarticulate motherfucker.

                            Really? for a guy "hated by a lot of the fan base" it surprises me that his number/ jersey were probably always near the top in sales, if not the top.

                              Don't discount the multitude of fans like Ref that don't buy merchandise.
