<< <i>Sure did....just like Joe Horn and Joey Porter >>
Porter is just a straight loser, Horn just got bumped out by the awesome up-and-comers at the WR position in 'Noleans. Horn can still be a productive player maybe as a 3rd wr. Romo taking over is a smart move by the Cowboys.

Porter is brash and a loudmouth, but you can't doubt that he was talented in his prime...

To be honest here, my mistake, I got it mixed up with Oaklands WR JERRY Porter. Thats who my comments were directed at. As far as Joey Porter goes I respect his game.
<< <i>Drew should go to the Lions, he could not possibly do any worse than Kitna! >>
I really didnt watch Kitna play much. Does he wear concrete shoes like Bledsoe does?

And of course I know he made it to the Pro Bowl. Still - Romo brings no fear to me and I don't believe he will ever become a top notch NFL quarterback. In the NFC East, I fear Eli getting better much, MUCH more than I fear Romo getting better.

Ole' Jeffy took his festive self to the butt-pirates, which of course makes perfect sense being that he is a closet dweller.
I just dont see Detmer, who is better known for holding for pat's and field goals, (to be fair, a better holder than Romo) striking much fear in my heart either

That's a very good point. Unfortunately, at this point in his career, McNabb would have to be considered injury prone and I don't see it changing. He was a naturally skinny guy growing up who bulked up with weights and such, and guys like that do tend to be more injury prone in athletics. Perhaps a different training regimine would be better - maybe less weight repetitions and emphasis on stretching muscles and such.
I'm not completely sure how it will play out. Will the Eagles keep Detmer as #2 for his holding ability on snaps? They might. The Eagles of course have Feeley who just signed a contract extension and he will be the real #2. If McNabb goes down, the #3 Feeley would actually step in as the #1 quarterback because Detmer isn't even close to being an NFL quality quarterback any longer - he wouldn't make any team's third string.
It's a tough situation which frankly I'm not too comfortable with - but it's probably set in stone at this point for the Eagles and I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed with McNabb staying healthy.

Eli wishes he had the accuracy Romo has
But even when he was good, he still looked undisciplined out there.
People said the same thing about Farve much of his career

Feeley is definitely the #2 QB in Philly.
They brought Detmer back for the playoffs to hold after a bad snap or two. A wise move when the season can end on a fumbled hold (see sig for reference
Detmer could be the #2 on paper in order to hold but they'll bring in Feeley and then Detmer will not be allowed to hold or play in any position if Feeley comes into the game early. Think it's before the 4th quarter.
There is also I believe the option to roster Detmer in a position other than QB to avoid the Emergency QB rule.
I really think that Detmer will not be back though.
Romo - naaaaaaah
<< <i>this time last year it was "look out, Bledsow to Owens is gonna get ya" >>
It might have worked save for a few very minor issues. (sarcasm)
a. Bledsoe has a stange habit of throwing the ball to the team wearing the wrong jerseys
b. When Romo came in and actually started getting TO the ball, he dropped more than he caught.
One problem is fixed.
Now the other problem just needs to learn how to catch

I remember when those "quarterback rules" were enacted. Frankly, in my opinion and many others, it was so the gamblers would get a fair shake on the games. Bringing in different quarterbacks could inadvertantly alter the point spread in ways bettors don't like. These quarterback rules are so f*ing stupid as far as the real game of football is concerned, it isn't even funny.
You might be right about Detmer not coming back. If Reid can find a reliable snap holder then of course Detmer won't be back. Obviously though that reliable snap holder isn't Feeley...so who knows...Detmer could return... maybe you're right at another position...interesting, I hadn't thought of it like that - would make good sense.

I can't remember who was holding for the regular season last year. Maybe Dirk Johnson, the punter.
But there wasn't really a serious problem, just a few near misses towards the end of the season that probably made Akers nervous. He didn't have the best season anyway.
Reid played it safe and called Koy. Luckily they didn't have to rely on the emergency QB rule.
Detmer is an unrestricted free agent. They better sign him fast.

Don't forget that Akers wasn't having that great of a season. Akers would never blame his performance on the holds, but if you read between the lines with his comments, he was trying to "imply" that the holds were affecting his kicks.
It's not just about getting the ball down with the snap holder, it's of course about getting the laces turned around and also about if necessary slanting the ball in a particular direction, and slanting it just right the way Akers likes it for that given kick depending on wind direction, weather conditions, etc....and all needing to be done in a fraction of a second. Detmer really is remarkable at doing this correctly...I don't think Akers missed a single kick after Detmer came back to hold.
