I mean what was it that made him want to give up a 2nd rounder for FEeley..feeley never showed anythign special other than a good arm..yes he had a good record because the eagles were a good team but come on...feeley never showed anything worth a 2nd round pick.. I mean if we really wanted to take a 3rd stringer why didnt we jus trade for billy volek..he has at least showed some big play potential in the games he has played...i just never understood the feeley trade...its about time we cut ties with feeley..he was not worth the pick

the way I have always looked at is that when Rickypoo came calling, Philly turned right around after that initial conversation and did their very best job of drumming up a market for Feeley. What I think likely started out as an offer of a 5th or 6th round pick by us was then slowly moved up by the fact that Phily (true or not) had found 2 other teams to help them drive up the price. Now, I say again, there was at least 1 other team interested and it was written there was one more for a total of 3, including us. How far and what those other teams honestly offered is conjecture but Phily basically took Rick to the woodshed in the end. I liken it to fishing.....we were the ones who thought we were fishing..but we were actually the fish. Phily slowly moved the bait until Rick was sooo desperate and hungry that he bit too hard.

In the end, I think we (Rick) got so enamored that other team(s) were increasing their bid that he felt AJ was a can't miss. Rick overpaid and AJ has missed.
 
I find this thread title to be a bit misleading... because it is obviously clear that Rick Spielman WAS NOT thinking.
 
Actually don't live in Charlotte anymore I moved to Mooresville a couple years ago. We should get together and watch a game sometime not a lot of fin fans around here.

Tell me about it. Nothing but Panther fans. Most of them jumped on the bandwagon when they made the super bowl.
 
To this day Feeley never even had a chance and when he did he still didnt. Never had the starting job or an O line.

I almost typed the exact same thing. Don't get me wrong I'm glad there doing well but I'm not going to pull for them just b/c they are.
