A lot of people were predicting big things from him in Philly! I'm thinking that trade is looking pretty good about now!
 
calm down people. the first time this guy has a 100 yd game, this board will be littered with "omg trifecta must go" & "what were these idiots thinking" threads
 
Has struggled in Philly, which is a surprise considering he is the same type of back as Brian Westbrook, who has the offensive system suited around him.

which is why he doesn't get PT. Booker's biggest attribute is that he is a good receiver out of the backfield (remember, Cam actually thought of converting him to WR). Booker is not a great runner/scat back, but is a very good pass catcher. If the iggles could use him on sweep plays, he'd get more time. This is the reason they cut RYan Moats; he was very fast, but he was a straight ahead runner not a scat back.

Doesn't hurt that Cobbs (who I was in favor of cutting) has proven to be somewhat useful as a receiver and on screen plays.

I still think we need to look at this trade in a few more years. L. Booker is stuck benind 2 VERY good RB's in Brian Westbrook and Correll Buckhalter. Either of those 2 RB's could start for over half of the NFL teams.
