It looks as if Brian Dawkins, the greatest safety in the history of the Philadelphia Eagles, has signed with the Denver Broncos.
S'cuse us while we yawn.
Five years ago, we would have been screaming obscenities. We would have hurled dirty comments about Andy Reid's drug addicted sons.
Now, we don't even care.
Brian Dawkins was once the best safety in football. But that was many, many seasons ago. For at least the last two years, he has been nothing more than an emotional leader who is decent against the run and a huge (huge!) liability against the pass. Yes, he still makes an occasional big hit. The problem is they always come after being burned for a big play.
The other reason we are so cavalier about him moving on is the fact that he did it purely for...wait for it...the money. We would be bummed out if he left Philly for a winner, in hopes of a Super Bowl ring. Denver will be lucky to even make the playoffs before Dawkins retires. Like so many others, he chased the Mighty Buck.
B-Dawk. A great Philadelphia Eagle. (And a Great Guy off the field.)
B-Dawk, a guy who is no longer a good player.
