>Are you out of your mind or just having delusions?  What makes you

I am dreaming if that makes you happy!!. It is very clear that the eagles
are not going to trade randall. They need plug other holes before the put
the blame on the QB.

>an overated, playoff-choking, can't-pass-over-the-middle, 

overrated: He is the 5th best rated QB in the league. I will partially agree
just to make you happy. Now this rating is not being overrated or something,
but it is by numbers. Get the facts straight!!

playoff-choking: yeah right. If you had told me this before the saints
game I would have believed you, not because I think that he is playoff 
choking but because he hasn't won a playoff game. In all past 3 playoff
losses, the offense of the eagles was completely revolving around
randall. He does the running, passing. That was buddy's 'randall make
two or three big plays and defense win games for me' type of offense.
You are not going to get far with that kind of philosophy. 

cant-pass-over-the-middle: Do you remember a tight-end named keith jackson
in the offensive game plan of the eagles in the last few years. Do you know
where he caught most of his passes. It is obvious that you are not well-versed
with the facts and aare just trying to take shots at randall. Give him a 
break will you!!!
And this year, if you know, the eagles didn't have a pass-catching tight-end/
receivers who ran up the middle. If you remember the denver game, calvin 
williams did run a slant up the middle and let me remind you where it ended up.
the END ZONE!!. If the offensive game plan is not tailored around throwing
in the middle, and the receivers are running straight down the field routes
is the QB to be blamed for that? I will leave this to your judgement.

>cry-when-I-get-benched, fumble-every-other-carry, over-sensitive,

cry-when-I-get-benched: He did take it in his stride. If you are a starting
QB for a team for quite some time, and you get benched, I think randall did
an excellent job in handling the situation, least of all cry.

fumble-every-other-carry: With an offensive line that is very inexperienced
and has given up 64 sacks (when i last saw the stats) , fumbles always happen.
When you have the athletic talent of randall, fumbles are bound to happen.
well, I agree that he does hold the ball like a loaf of bread but that is 
the price you have to pay for his running ability on the field. Look at 
what he did with his rushing in 1990. He is a very different, "not the stand
in the pocket styla" running QB. You just have to use him the his skills.
Towards the later half of the season, they tried to use his skills with 
those boot legs and stuff.

over-sensitive: His off-the-field actions dont call for discussion in 
this newsgroup. As long as he delivers as the randall I know, that is fine
with me. 

>little-confidence-yet-somehow-cocky QB with more than half of his

yeah right. When you get benched it does increase your confidence. That is
definitely a new philosophy!!. Look at how he performed in the first 4 games
and towards the end of the season. Now that is some confidence.

>pro football days behind him?

I would think that he has another 5 years of football left in him.

Well, if the above argument doesn't convince you that I am not the CAPS-LOCK
guy then I dont know what will.

Now that sure looks like how the guy used to send his posting. Hmmm....
