tbonestake Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Eagles-Chiefs: Random observations -from Mark Mosley ESPN Left tackle Jason Peters picked up right where he left off last season with some untimely false starts. The second false start knocked the Eagles out of field goal position. <LI>I was not impressed with Bobby April's coverage units. McCluster gave the Eagles fits on kickoff returns. Now the Bobby April one wasn't as bad as the Peters one, but you guys and gals comment if you wish... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thurman#1 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 (edited) That's what $11M/yr buys you I guess. PTR Yup. A guy who was ranked the best LT in the NFL right up till his ankle injury in Week 5 by PFF, who played through a gimpy ankle injury for the rest of the years despite the fact that he obviously couldn't move well, a guy who played the rest of the year taking it for the team because even injured he was the best guy on the team, a guy who despite his injuries ended up about 18th in the league out of all left and right tackles, 75 of them, if I remember correctly. And Promo. I've corrected you on this like five times. Let me put it in caps. HELLO, PROMO. JASON PETERS GETS $10.1 MILLION PER YEAR. IT'S A LOT OF MONEY, BUT IT'S NOT $11 MILLION. Did that register yet? I've corrected you on this again and again and again. Check it on rotoworld. Check it absolutely anywhere. $10.1 million per year. When you get your facts wrong, especially so consistently, it puts your opinions in question also. http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/dneagles/Details_of_Jason_Peters_Juicy_New_Deal.html Rotoworld also has it for $60.657 mill over six years.

Maybe there are bonuses that get him over the $11 million mark?...like $100,000 per false start, perhaps? About bonuses, try reading the link, maybe? As for the false starts, you wouldn't normally expect a few false starts by a guy starting in a new offense with a new QB? He had two or three the first two weeks, if I remember correctly, and much fewer as the years went along. And probably for you, it's nothing between friends. But for me, $900,000 PER YEAR could buy me a few after dinner mints. Are you Jason Peters' agent or something? Can you justify his holdout while you're at it? Gosh, no, I can't. Even though this is a capitalist society, in football when a team and a player argue, the player should always fall forward in obeisance, bow three times towards the owner's box and probably eat dirt. Of course I can justify it. He was getting $3 mill per year, a guy worth, clearly, $10.1 mill on the open market, and the Bills tried to lowball him. When it didn't work out, they attacked him in public and forever turned Bills fans against him, and were surprised when this made him obstreperous. Peters won. How can you argue that his holdout was not justified? If the Bills had managed to hold onto him, you could argue that, but he got what he wanted by holding out. It was 100% justified.

No matter how you twist it, Peters hasn't been as good as 35 year old Tra Thomans. Every Eagles fan is sick of him and I bet the Eagles expected a much better player than the one they got for the price they paid. I'll take Wood and Nelson (even with the suspension) over Peters anyday of the week. and I hope April turns it around. Great ST coach and probably the MVP of the Jauron era.

PDaDdy Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 10 million?...11 million? Who cares? Sounds about right for an elite LT with 3 concurrent probowls AND counting. Where is the old.."it's just preseason it doesn't count!" Guess thats only the reply when it's a guy that you like thats screwing the pooch in preseason or when your starting offense can't get in the endzone.

The second false start knocked the Eagles out of field goal position. Oh, you mean the same kind of false starts Demetrius Bell is getting? The same kind Ruben Brown used to get? What's $900,000 between friends? Maybe there are bonuses that get him over the $11 million mark?...like $100,000 per false start, perhaps? How much does Bell get per false start? He is probably at least $900,000 in front of Peters from last year alone. I'll take Wood and Nelson (even with the suspension) over Peters anyday of the week. We arent taking Wood and Nelson over Peters...We are taking Demetrius Bell or Jamon Meredith over Peters...Hence the reason our Offensive Line still blows donkey dick and there is not a single player CLOSE to Peters' talent. (And DONT say Eric Wood, because he is literally a Center who happens to be playing Guard...He has no skill to be a tackle and has never played as a tackle.) SO ALL YOU PEOPLE WHO ARE STILL TRYING TO COME UP WITH REASONS AS TO WHY JASON PETERS IS NOT A GOOD FOOTBALL PLAYER...GIVE IT UP! OUR ORGANIZATION GOT RID OF ARGUABLY THE BEST PLAYER, CERTAINLY THE BEST O-LINEMAN, THE BUFFALO BILLS HAVE SEEN IN A DECADE! WE WERE UNABLE TO REPLACE HIM THEN, AND WE STILL ARE YET TO REPLACE HIM WITH SOMEONE EVEN CLOSE TO HIS SKILL LEVEL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalkie Gerzowski Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 (edited) The best part was when the Chiefs television commentators were saying Peters went over to the center and blamed him both times, LOL.
