Pass Happy And #1 WR

Written by Chris Klinkner  The Braylan Edwards to the Giants rumor has this fan all worked up again.  Maybe I am wrong but I still believe that the 2007 Edwards is what a trading team would get and not the 2008 version.

As an Eagles fan we know that Andy Reid has a fascination with the pass. The man has yet to find a down that is not perfect for a passing play.

3rd and inches, lets throw it. First and goal at the one, lets throw it.

In the ten years that Reid has been Head Coach of the Eagles the team has thrown the ball 5,497 times. Over that same span the Eagles have run the ball 4,144 times.

During Reid's tenure the Eagles had 49 players named to the Pro Bowl.

What is amazing is that with all those pass attempts and all those Pro Bowl appearances, the Eagles have sent ONLY 1 Wide Receiver (Terrell Owens) to the Pro Bowl. ONE! And that one year was the year the Eagles went to the Super Bowl.

So it blows my mind why a man that loves the pass doesn't emphasize quality wide receivers more. McNabb we feel your pain.

I am tired of Reid saying season after season that he is happy with his wide receivers! For the Eagles to be successful in Reid's offense a dominant receiver is a necessity.

2009-'10 will most likely be yet another season that the Eagles will be without a dominant, true number one receiver.

As Reid's track record shows we can expect another year of a pass happy offense. If that is the case, we can expect another season without a championship.

McNabb we feel your frustration.
