Everyone got a clean slate when this board took over he never came over. That being said F that guy. He would say the most ridiculous sheet then play woa is me and report people when his ideas were shot to hell. His nonsense in cvon and flat out lying in tate non stop is what got him banned from the old board.

Actually, what got him banned was when he doubled down on the Holocaust was a hoax take after he was suspended and warned, as well as other views of similar fashion.

Curious who starts at CB2 MNF. I'd think if Adoree gets cleared it'll probably be him.

Yeahhhh...Bobby deserved it. I find the crazies entertaining but that's not crap anyone really wants to see or hear on a sports message board.

Helluva musical talent though

That got him suspended a bunch of times. It was the lie he told in TATE then proceeded to throw insults my way that was the last straw... I know this because I'm the one that reported him and the mod came in and said that he has gotten a sheet ton of reports on izdum on his one post in TATE alone. They finally had enough of him

Very mod-like answer

Mike McCormack vs. Marion Campbell

Campbell was a boob, but McCormack was seemingly intentionally destructive. He was far worse.

It’s kind of gross to me that I would actually choose Marion freakin Campbell in anything (other than as a DC).

Deserve to lose then if after all the moves that's the choice.

So, that was YOU who reported me when I said they should have kept Coy and Vance on The Dukes of Hazzard??

Joe Kuharich vs. Rich Kotite

My father bought season tickets because of Joe Kuharich. He was (well, still is) a Notre Dame fan and was excited when the Eagles hired him. My father actually used to defend him during the Joe Must Go days. In hindsight that was an absurd take.

At least Kotite led his team to the playoffs and actually won a game. So yeah, it’d take Kotite for sure, even though in some small way Kuharich is somewhat responsible for my Eagles fandom.

He has the most important touchdown in recent franchise history.

Yeah. I’d say Van Buren has the biggest. The only score in the team’s first championship.

Since at least the 80’s I’d say. I don’t know enough about the team prior to then - other than 3rd party sources.

I don't either, but the arrogance of today's fan always wants to say that today's athlete is the greatest. Who can really compare, considering the differences in training advancements, full-time dedication to the sport, nutrition advancements, etc. etc. How do you compare them?

To throw into the arena a contender for greatest RB in franchise history, Steve Van Buren led the team to back to back championships in 1948 and 1949. He was also the first running back to ever have multiple 1000 yard rushing seasons in his career and he was the all-time leading rusher in the NFL when he retired. It's hard to compare him to today's running backs, because the game is so different. Back then the game was much more about '3 yards and a cloud of dust', and teams routinely had 8+ defenders in the box. 1000 yards had only been achieved once before Van Buren in 1947, Beattie Feathers in 1934. And he did it twice in 3 seasons... and the season in between, he surpassed 940 yards, once again leading the NFL (he led the league in 1945, 1947-1949... that's 4 rushing crowns in 5 years, which is quite a rare feat in any era).

In essence, Steve Van Buren was Jim Brown, before Jim Brown. So, I can't say that any current day Eagles' running back is better than Van Buren, until they achieve similar levels of rarified feats. They may be, but how do you compare? The game is so different. Van Buren was 6'0" 200lbs. Back then OL were only up around 220. So, Van Buren was the size of today's RBs playing with OL and DL that are 100 lbs lighter than today. He was a man among boys. While he never got a 40 yard dash, he did run a 100 yard dash at 9.8 seconds. For comparison, Jesse Owens ran 9.4 seconds at only 165 lbs.

A boob? Nah... I'd just say much more overmatched as a HC than as a DC.

Kotite won a playoff game, IMO, the same way Barry Switzer won a Super Bowl.
