OK,

Here is a FO that knows what they are doing:

Eagles cut Detmer and Pinkston, add Feeley

NFL.com wire reports

PHILADELPHIA (Aug. 30, 2006) -- The Philadelphia Eagles brought back quarterback A.J. Feeley and released quarterback Koy Detmer and receiver Todd Pinkston.

The signing of Feeley, released earlier this week by San Diego, completes a profitable cycle for Philadelphia.

The Eagles originally drafted him in the fifth round in 2001 and he started five games in 2002, leading the team to four wins when Donovan McNabb and Detmer were both sidelined with injuries.

He was traded to Miami after the 2003 season for a second-round draft pick that the Eagles subsequently used to pick wide receiver Reggie Brown, currently a starter. Now they get him back without surrendering a player or a pick.

Pinkston, entering his seventh season, appeared to be on his way out when the Eagles traded for receiver Donte Stallworth.

Pinkston missed last year with a torn Achilles' tendon and battled soreness in both ankles during training camp. He caught one pass for 4 yards in the preseason.

Detmer had spent the last nine seasons with the Eagles, but the team signed Jeff Garcia in the offseason to be McNabb' insurance policy.

Then, there's the Saints' FO. We got rid of Howard a season late, and Philly still got him for nothing. We got Hollis Thomas who will retire in 1-2 years, but did not go after Kematou who is younger and now we have to face him twice a year, We let D. Smith go whom we could use right now for no compensation, We got rid of a young, talented WR (Stallworth) with a lot of upside because the coach didn't like his attitude for an old, average LB and a 4th.

Now, we want to get rid of the pick we just got plus more for an even older LB that will only play 1-2 more years and makes tackles behind the line when we really need a solid CB or OL player. Our FO is the anti-Philly.

We brought in some good players, but we are also making an equal amount of bone-head moves to cancel that out, reducing our picks we have aquired and getting several old players who will all be gone in 1-2 years. How this makes Peyton and Loomis into people that know what they're doing is the same delusion you guys had about Haslett 4 years ago.
