Remember the "We got Demarco" plane?

[erod]

You all remember the plane flying over Oxnard after the Eagles made a late play for Demarco Murray last summer. You remember the glee in Eagles fans' voices. What a coup that was. They really stuck it to us, nabbing the top rusher in the NFL right from under our noses and waved him in our faces.

Fast forward one year. Murray is in Tennessee, and the Eagles traded away piles of high draft picks to jump Dallas in the draft and get our future nemesis, Carson Wentz. Some say Dallas really wanted Wentz at #4.

The Cowboys were foiled again, so Eagles fans thought. Dallas "settled" for Ezekiel Elliott, but not the QB they wanted. The Eagles left Dallas with a lousy 4th-round compensatory pick for Murray as a consolation prize.

That comp pick the Eagles created became.....Dak Prescott.

LOL

Karma comes back to bite that Egirls azz.

That's some serious irony

Lets hope this story is still sweet in about ten years.....

No ****. I never bothered to track the lineage of the whole thing but now that it's laid out: If Dak becomes what we hope and Wentz flops, it will live in the annals of "**** you, Philly" history for eternity.

Being from 10 minutes outside of Philly and a fan of the Cowboys my whole life, this would sting them in the a** more than anything. But listening to local radio, most hosts and fans arent too optimistic. Theres alot if 6-10 being thrown around. Love it

Who wants to pony up for the "You Got Wentz" plane?

 

[TheRomoSexual]

Wow, I can't believe I never put that together. Crazy how things work in the NFL.

 

[Toruk_Makto]

I remember the "We got Demarco" plane. I was happy. Wanted no parts of resigning Murray.

 

[Sydla]

LOL.

That's awesome.

 

[slick325]

That's crazy!

 

[mattjames2010]

Someone should post this on the Iggles board

 

[TRUTH87]

lol insane

 

[StarBoyz83]

Lol I forgot about that. DIdn't realize that was our comp pick lol

Gonna make Eagles fans know of this on edps next video lmao

 

[Zekeats]

In all honesty it didn't work out for them and it didn't workout for us either. I know that Murray didn't look so hot last year but that was a bad team with a bad oline.
Lets be honest here. Without him we went back to a team looking for a running game and looking for our idenity. Murray was our idenity. I hope Zeke can become what Murray was. For those of you saying we lost cause Romo went out or we where winning before Romo got hurt its a week argument. We were not the same team as in 2014. We got a gimme from the Giants and we struggled for consistency on offense. The best Romo is 25-35 pass attempts Romo

The comp pic is funny though

We'll be talkin' about this around the 'ol campfire for years to come.............

 

[Bullflop]

At least some of the Eagles fans are already lamenting the fact that they paid plenty for Wentz and we've gotten Prescott "on the cheap."

As if that's not enough, Wentz is already injured, so they're not getting their money's worth, as of yet. It's what I'd call ironic stuff, indeed.

I didn't like not having a great RB last year, but this is a little much to say. It was 2 games, not entirely sure we ever got to see our "identity". We sure didn't have an identity in 2014 in the first two games, lost to San Fran and barely beat the Titans.

It takes a few weeks to settle in when it comes to the NFL.

Murray was a non-factor. Our only problem last year was with the dissolution of the passing game. Had Romo/Dez been in the lineup, we'd have been a very productive offense again and would have walked away with the division. That Eagles contract to DM was a horrible decision.

First time I heard that one, I like it!!!
