Is Portis, along with his 8 year, 50 million contract along with 10 or so mill signing bonus along with giving up Bailey and a 2 a better deal than keeping your 2nd, (by not trading CB) your 3rd ( but being patient for a vet QB to become available and then using your 2nd and 3rd to move up and draft Jackson, who comes with a cap number a lot less than Portis, especially after year 3 of the contract and beyond?
Now, I understand Bailey would have gotten Portis money and them some, but what would you rather have --Bailey/Jackson/Collins or Portis/Springs/Brunnel?
How about a Taylor and Jackson for your efforts in the 1st?
The consider the system Gibbs has up there..what kind of backs have thrived?
Gibbs has never had a smaller, shiftier back..always a plowhorse when things were at their peak ala Riggins and Gerald Riggs
We the Eagles werent as desparate for Jackson..they already had Wesbrook and @ the time a healthy Buckhalter..they got the guy they coveted..Andrews by giving swapping 1st's and giving up up a 2nd to SF to secure him
Wile Jackson was a good prospect, he wasnt an elite prospect...our scouting dept had Jackson, Kevin Jones and Julius Jones rated as nearly the same (with K Jones being the #1 back)..so picking up a #1 next year made the decision easy
I just dont see that much of a difference between Collins and Brunnel
Im not saying Brunnel isnt a better QB because he is..his career stats prove it ..But to the tune of is he 6 years, 43 mil with a healthy SB and a 3nd round draft pick better?
No way
Collins behind an effective offensive line is a good QB..as witness by his Super Bowl season 4 years ago and just 2 years ago when the Giants offense was extremely effective and got them to the playoffs before the Giants D collapased with a 38-14 lead
I just dont like the way My Snyder is mortgages the future...just like JJ used too up until 4 years ago
the LB spot..you guys have 3 very good LB's but have a very average DL. The LB's could have a tough time because of the play of the DL if opposing OL are getting out to your LB's
And if the DL isnt getting to the QB, and LB's are being blitzed, the secondary is gonna receive plenty of attention
Bailey wasnt as good as all the hype he received, but he was still a very good player.
Smoot isnt Bailey...and either is Springs althoug I agree with your take on Springs..if healthy and he remains healthy he's gonna make plays
And as good as Taylor is gonna be, he cant cover everyone

I have a question about Collin's, If he is as good as you say he is, then why didn't the boy's sign him? And don't tell me at the time you had Carter, Carter is looking for another job right now because Parcell's know's he's a lowsy QB, he used the drug test as an convienent excuse to get rid of him, and I don't blame him 1 bit, so who would you rather have, 40 year old Vinnie? Or super bowl loser Collin's?
