All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Give me their 21st, 5th and Max Jean-Giles. That my friends will be a great trade. Just so everyone remembers, Long, Clady, Albert, Otah and Baker all played great as rookies last year. The myth of rookies suck a tackle is starting to get debunked.
Picks 21 and 28 both owned by Philly gets them to about pick 7 which is where they would have to be about to get a franchise unproven LT. Now what is a pro bowl proven LT worth? Atleast picks 21 and 28.
If Peters wasnt a dick this wouldnt go down. But now it must. In Jauron's apparent last year as coach if he doesnt reach the playoffs, he cannot risk a holdout from his pro bowl left tackle, and if my sources are correct Peters has turned down at least 3 contract offers since last season began. AT LEAST.
The situation is unique to itself, so waving the broad brush of overpaying a supposed stud LT doesn't apply in this instance.
Peters is wanting far more than he's worth, plus he's basically being coached by a difficult agent seeing major $$ signs from other teams willing to overpay.
I don't think he's nearly as good as you folks make him out to be... but keep perpetuating the hysteria, since it plays well to the masses.
Let another team overpay & find out he's a good but not great player at his position, much like Nate Clements, Jonas Jennings, Antoine Winfield etc.
Take the picks and move on with a talent youngster who will sign a 4-5 year deal and show up to work.
This teams biggest concern is it's head coach and gameday decisions. Not the LT with a bloated reputation.
Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit
