Laughing at the Cowboys draft? The Eagles, other than maybe Wentz, wasn't good at all lol

Exactly how I know this is BS. Philly mediots don't have friends.

Yes they do, but vermin can't talk.

Just wait.

Hung up on me much?

Wouldn't a dominant running game help whatever young QB takes Romo's place?

Don't know why someone would laugh at the pick on that basis.

Garrett "CYA". Per King, Garrett wanted Elliott. Per Benji, Garrett wanted Ramsey. Either way Garrett cannot be blamed for any potential Draft Flop. Give Garrett another 5 Year extension and we can move forward with the "Long Process to success".

In addition, WIP is a 2nd Rate Sports Talk Show Station. Most of their personnel are stupid as hell. I laugh every time I put it on for a few hours during "breaking Eagles News".

Huh?

This reporter has sources and these clowns are claiming he is making it up ........ get'em!

That isn't an AP publication. I already showed you the AP procedure. Sorry you were too pigheaded to actually pay attention.

Try to keep up next time. Thanks.

King not only "missed it," but it directly contradicts his article.

He did not have enough sources I guess.

Poor guy.

All I want is a competant GM. Is that too much to ask? In a perfect world, I could care less what either of these two think.

That line was valid 15 years or so ago. But for a good bit of time now, Jerry and the FO has a whole has been pretty darn good. It wasn't Jerry that traded a 3rd and a 4th round pick for a KICKER ha ha.. that still makes me laugh.

I totally believe this Philly writer ........ what reason would he have to lie?

Of course Jason Garrett ,the offensive minded coach, would not want the most dynamic RB in the draft on what may be his make or break year as head coach.

This guy has sources and I say we should believe him wholeheartedly.

I have no idea if this guy is legit and the Philadelphia factor brings further doubt, but it would not be too hard to imagine that Garrett, whose father was a longtime scout and whose brother is a scout, would side with the scouting department. Again, if the rumors are true that the scouts ranked Ramsey higher. Maybe Garrett actually felt Ramsey was the better player or didn't like the value of a RB at 4.

I know ........ I believe the Philly writer.

Did you not read my post?

I have a source that says Garrett actually hates Zeke....... he plans on killing him during training camp.

I disagree. We've done pretty well in the draft lately, and I give them credit for that. (Though I wish we could hit on some late round guys.) But we haven't had a quality HC since Tuna - who Jerry wrongly ran out of town. He can't get out of his own way, and we're a lesser team because of it.

Between the hackneyed jokes and the struggle for nuance this thread delivers.

Friends who were there where? In the war room? Please. Stupid bullsh!t

FuzzyLumpkins · May 3, 2016

King tells how Garrett reviewed the tape for Zeke and Ramsey the days before the draft and told Jerry he preferred Zeke.

Albright's source may have been there and had a different level of access and seen different things. All people that say that either one has to be lying just demonstrate their lack of imagination and experience.

Just because two people report events differently doesn't mean either one is lying. It's a possibility but deduction means you have to deduce all other possibilities not just what you can come up with.

Nuance is tough.

Exhibit A: the offensive line

I thought Garrett overruled a trade back with Ravens who had no interest in Elliott.
