If the Flyer get embarrassed again tonight, I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a coaching change tomorrow.

Throw in the Eagles coach as a bonus

Ha! Washington just said to the Eagles, “hold my beer.”

Laviolette will forever hold the Flyers record fired after 0-3 start...

Probably the same way we received a 2nd rounder for AJ Feeley back in the day. Everyone was scratching their head about that one. I think AJ had a couple good games and Miami took the bait... 

Trade Details and Context

• The Deal: Miami traded their 2005 second-round pick (No. 35 overall) for Feeley, who had been a backup and spot-starter for Philadelphia.

• The Expectations: Dolphins management hoped Feeley would compete with or replace incumbent starter Jay Fielder, signing him to a multi-year deal.

• The Outcome: Feeley struggled during the 2004 season, going 3–3 as a starter in a tumultuous year for the franchise.

• Subsequent Move: By October 2005, under new head coach Nick Saban, Feeley was traded again—sent to the San Diego Chargers in exchange for backup quarterback Cleo Lemon.

• Fan Sentiment: Most users on Reddit agree that trading a high second-round draft pick for an unproven backup quarterback like Feeley ranks among the worst trades in Miami Dolphins history. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

 

 

Man, that was rough. To add salt to the wound, the following offseason, the Dolphins passed up on Drew Brees and signed a washed Daunte Culpepper. The butterfly effect of this is that Saban left the Dolphins to join the Alabama Crimson Tide, where he created a dynasty.
