Kelly the Dog Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 Why would you possibly want Donohoe to have traded Travis last year for a top pick when he could have, or trade him for a 4th - 5th rounder this past weekend, or trade him for anything he can get in the future? Please tell me why you would be happy with this? The player he is going to draft for TH will be just as stupid, we won't need, will not be Jonathan Ogden, will have no chance to make it in the NFL and is destined to be a bust anyway, making our team even worse than it is now. Right? This played out pretty much as TD said it would. He and the brass put a value and a worth as they see it on Henry, and wanted something of equal value for him. No one came close to it, for the myriad of reasons already discussed, and now he's our back-up this year until someone makes an offer for what he is worth. Nothing really has changed.

Nothing really has changed. 317891[/snapback] I haven't been bashing TD at all. I respect him for sticking to his guns. However, I do disagree with you. I was hoping we'd trade Travis to the Eagles for a 4th this year and a 4th next year. I thought that would be fair. There were a lot of guys in the 4th that were Blue Chippers: Kyle Orton, QB Purdue (would have made an awesome insurance policy/backup) Stefan LeFors, QB Louisville Adrian McPherson, QB Florida State Darren Sproles, RB Kansas State Ciatrick Fason, RB Florida Marion Barber III, RB Minnesota Antonio Perkins, CB Oklahoma Chris Canty, DE Virginia Claiming that whomever we would have drafted with a 4th or a 5th is destined to be a bust is ignorrant. Try telling that to Terrence McGee...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just saying, sarcastically, that most of the TD bashers don't like anything he does no matter what, so even if he made a great trade, or stupid trade, they would hate the guy he drafted anyway and still complain.

Adam Posted April 25, 2005 Share Posted April 25, 2005 The TD bashers are people that only understand instant gratification- something that usually hurts you long term, but these people dont understand what the words LONG TERM mean!!!

Try telling that to Terrence McGee...... 317904[/snapback] Two thoughts while reading your post. First, as of right now, it seems that Phila wouldn't be willing to give that up for Travis, and second, while there are some gems to come out of the later rounds, you know as well as I do that the odds of doing so are mighty slim. So we still have Travis. We didn't trade an inexpensive pro bowl back-up to get a later round pick in what most agree was the weakest draft in quite some time. I'm cool with that.

Balanced discourse is the objective here. Criticism is always allowed. Single topic search and destroy missions, without any objectivity or reasoning, usually spells a short shelf life at TSW.

Brutal post dude, brutal. 317930[/snapback] Yes, we signed Holcomb. But for only 2 years and i'd be surprised if he stayed that long before he was at least given a chance to start for another team. Shane Matthews? He's been in and out of retirement for years and he's only a year or two younger than Brett Favre. I don't even expect him to be on the roster for the opener. Kyle Orton is a guy who should have been gone in the 2nd round. He would be a steal in the 4th as J.P.'s answer to AVP. God forbid J.P. not work out, we have another stud young guy back there. The trade I proposed wasn't Travis for Kyle Orton. It's Travis for TWO fourths. Kyle Orton was just the best available going into Round 4 and who knows what we'd get out of the other 4th. Right about now we'd be lucky to get a bag of dog dung for Travis. So what's so brutal about the post?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the bottom line is, do you think Kelly Holcomb in the prime of his career is going to want to sit behind a younger, franchise QB for very long while other teams that are tranitioning at their QB position would jump at the chance to sign him for a starter?
