the eagles had polk but reid recognized that a couple fumbles from brown is better than playing an inferior polk. youre absolutely right that he's done nothing (thats the point of this thread). he hasnt been given a fair chance to see if he can be a special back in this league. i think things would have been different with wilson if coughlin handled it different. of course its gonna affect your play if your coach pulls you immediately and takes your confidence away.

i honestly would. theres not one certain way to handle every situation and i dont happen to agree with coughlins approach on this. if i was getting paid millions of dollars i would play my most talented players... i would at least give them more than a game or two to prove that they dont belong. i dont think its fair to say he's a headcase yet. he hasnt been given a fair opportunity. im sure he isnt playing with a clear head because of the way coughlin is handling this

i can honestly say i would be much more understanding than coughlin. look at andy reid when bryce brown fumbled twice in his first game last year. he just shook it off and reaffirmed his confidence in him. IMO thats how you handle a young talented back....now if within a whole year the back still has fumbling issues then you throw him in the dog house and teach some tough love. but coughlin sucked all the life out of wilson from the get go

if you compare gio bernard and david wilson, to me these are identical rb's with identical talent except one has a stubborn, old school, hardheaded coach and the other has a coach that gives him confidence and allows him to succeed. i understand that wilson has made the mistakes and bernard hasn't but coughlin never even gave wilson a fair chance from day 1. he fumbled game 1 last year and was immediately thrown into the dog house, therefore killing his confidence and making him play tentative. i don't see any other coach doing this to a talented young player. coughlin needs to stop with this dictator attitude towards wilson and just let him play. at 0-3 i dont think its your young talented rb thats causing the losing. if anything he could be preventing them from winning. its obviously not working with whatever caughlin is trying to do. its time to give wilson some confidence and turn him loose. if i were a coach, i would rather see a guy play loose and make big plays and deal with a fumble here and there rather than make him play scared and run tentative and possibly even still fumble i guess my point is you put david wilson on virtually any other team, he would be a reliable weekly fantasy starter but he's stuck with a head coach that can't coach the current group of players that he has.

I think it's crazy not to include Le'veon Bell in the top 10. Good talent, great situation

the colts have treated luck like a 10 year vet. he has no limitations, they havent babied him at all. while rg3 leads the league in passes behind the line of scrimmage because all they throw is screens and dump offs, the colts make luck throw down field. while the other rookies will experience a regression next season because they will get their chance to throw down field, luck will take the next step and become closer to becoming an elite qb. sanchez has a terrible rating because he sucks. luck has a bad rating because he is learning the ropes and is being asked to lead the colts in his rookie season.

You obviously haven't watched any of their games. They have been impossible to run against. They play a tight formation on their defensive line so you can't go up the middle and their LB's have been lights out getting to the edge to take the outside away too. Nobody can run on them.... It's true that teams have been passing on them but there is a big reason for that

Maroney, I would say the eagles being deep at rb helps brown's cause. They may be looking to trade one of their rb's. I've heard all about Polk too, but the fact that the eagles drafted brown and didn't draft Polk shows that they think highly of brown

This is very deep and geared more towards a dynasty league than this upcoming season but Bryce Brown- RB Eagles has all the potential in the world. This kid was the #1 recruit out of high school. Recruited ahead of Trent Richardson but he is a head case and has been in constant trouble since high school. He got kicked off of two college teams and only played 1 college game and yet he still got drafted in the 7th round by Philly. He has the perfect nfl rb body and possesses all the tools, he just needs to stay out of trouble. Obviously being stuck behind McCoy doesn't help but if he produces, the eagles could use him for trade bait down the road or if McCoy get hurt, keep an eye on him

CBS reported today that Carolina is fielding trade offers. As a dynasty Stewart owner, this is wonderful news :-)

a 4th round pick! this seems crazy for the texans. there is absolutely no risk involved for the eagles and a very little chance in reward for the texans

I think Stewart to Pitt makes a lot of sense, but I also think stewart to Atlanta would be a good fit too. Turner is nearing the end and stewart would be a perfect fit. He fits their pounder role that turner provided but also serves as a great receiving option out of the backfield and Atlanta is clearly looking to air it out more in the coming years

I think Denver should sign manning and then be stubborn and not change the "tebow playbook" lol. Make Peyton run the same exact plays that tebow ran last year it would definitely be entertaining to watch

This is the kind of in depth analysis that makes fftoday so great!
