TO ran himself out of town once they wouldn't pay him. However, he made that team better right away, he was at his prime then. The Eagles didn't have a good WR threat until they got D. Jackson.

The Eagles are a young team at the skills position except QB. I guess it all depends on Vick's health, I say this because he was beat up in that playoff game. If Vick lasts at QB, then the Eagles would be a contender. But I feel that he was pretty beat up as the season ended.

No, what makes you say that? Because I have an opinion different than everyone's on this specific issue?

JK, but the reason I said it was because although TO's departure had to do w/him wanting to renegotiate his contract for more $, in the end it had as much or more to do w/his destructive behavior.

I will agree w/you in that at the time he was a top wr in the nfl, but at the time he started to 'negotiate' he'd already dissed his qb publicly. Both before & after his time w/philly he exhibited this behavior.

Gotcha. I know TO has his antics (hell, who doesn't know that) but he was a hell of a WR at that time, and if things had worked out the Eagles would have been a contender.
