We've learned what the A in Andy stands for, Arrogant. A team that finished in last place in the NFC East two of the last three years deserves criticism. So Mr. Reid is tired of the negativity from the media. What exactly do we have to be positive about? The return of LJ Smith is the answer to the red zone problems? Another draft class that won't crack the roster this year or at least not make a significant impact. The only positive I see from this season is that I won't have to see
Reno Mahe returning punts which doesn't say much.
Donovan McNabb makes a bold statement about needing playmakers and when questioned about it cowardly waters down his previous statement by saying I wasn't necessarily talking about offensive playmakers. So the only significant offseason move was the signing of Asante Samuels when the cornerbacks were the strength of this defense. There are still questions about the passrush. There is no explosive offensive weapon other than Westbrook. Does the acquisition of the running back from Miami mean that
Tony Hunt was a bust? So tell me Mr. Reid, what do I have to be positive about?
Andy Reid should take a lesson from Paul Holmgren. Bobby Clark did the Flyers organization a huge favor by stepping down. He finally realized that his philosophy could never bring a Stanley Cup championship to this city. In steps Paul Holmgren who infuses a new philosophy and you have only the second team to advance to the Conference Championship after finishing worst the year before. So how long Mr. Reid are you going to stick to your philosophy? After finishing in last place two of the last three years you still believe that the system trumps talent. Time will tell.
I would like to present this challenge to you Mr. Reid. Since you so firmly believe that this is a Superbowl team, should the Eagles fail to even win a round in the playoffs this year you should do the manly thing and step down. Let someone else come in and infuse a different philosophy, a winning philosophy. Bobby Clark was a man, are you Mr. Reid. Or are you a spineless coward who needs your ears tickled by the media. Mr. Reid you are a spineless, gutless coward as is your quarterback, McNabb.
I know you read this blog, McNabb, though your coach may not, I challenge you to answer me and explain why you and your coach are not spineless cowards. I call you a coward because you allowed your coach to muzzle you yet again when he does nothing to improve this team. So if you are not a coward, take the muzzle off and challenge your coach to put a championship team on the field. You are the only player that can get through to your thickheaded, arrogant coach who is too cowardly to address the media with answers instead of feeding us the same garbage year in and year out that he can plug in anyone in this system and produce a champion.
