Parkey Sticks With Philly

[dw49]

Nice move by Philly to get their K

[PrincetonTiger]

Congrats CP

[TKnight24]

... And we're probably about to cut the guy we got in that trade

[Gavin]

Dude has talent and a hell of a leg, Glad to see him get picked up by a solid team

[jvan1973]

did they cut Henery?

[Superman]

... And we're probably about to cut the guy we got in that trade

 

LOL, we cut Parkey, so what difference does it make?

[Clem-Dog]

Grigson did Philly a solid.

Fluellen could be headed to the PS.

[PrincetonTiger]

did they cut Henery?

I would assume so

[TKnight24]

LOL, we cut Parkey, so what difference does it make?

Philly won the trade (if Fluellen is gone)

Just pointing that out

[Bluefire4]

It was pretty obvious that if Parkey kicked well he would get the job.. and he hit two from 50+.

We obviously should have traded him for a proven impact player! /s

A quality GM could have got McCoy. #firegrigson

It wasn't even a freaking trade. We decided to get the player directly rather than waiting on waivers. we cannot lose this trade.

yet again

[dw49]

did they cut Henery?

 

 

Yes

[Superman]

And that has no material impact on our team, as we didn't want the player we gave them. Your stance on this is just as silly as it was when the trade was done.

Even if it was a "favor" to Philly .. who cares ? They would owe us one.

To quote a wise man.... Dear lord.

[Coltsman1788]

Nice move by Philly. Glad to see the kid get a shot somewhere. He was pretty solid from what I saw of him here.

[Coltsman1788]

Deleted.

[Gavin]

Perhaps but maybe Griggs shouldn't be doing solids for a team that we will have to face in the regular season. If Parkey kicks a game winner from 50+ in week two all that solid stuff comes back to bite him.

If everyone thought that way then no trades or releases would happen...And again...He is a Kicker that had no chance to make the roster......He knew that to

[akcolt]

did they cut Henery?

Henery was horrible missed a lot last year can't kick the ball to the endzone on kickoffs I am sure their are not many Duck fans on this board but being one after the Irish of course I can't tell you how many games Oregon lost that probably kept them from playing in the National Championship because they did not have a kicker Which is crazy since it is probably the biggest soccer state in the union.

 

The guy from Stanford could tell you plenty about Chip's PK problems at Oregon it was more than bad. I still don't understand why we just handed him a K but such is life. Make him use a waiver claim.

Dang...you are too quick. I thought better of that post and deleted it a few seconds after posting it. Because of the second reason you pointed out.

IA... But I reserve my right to be annoyed if Parkey kicks a couple of +50 yarders and a game winner on Sept. 15th.

Same here. Lol.

well and not only that, but if Parkey does kick a 50+ yard game winning field goal against us in week 2, then I'm pretty sure Grigson will be more upset with the offense (not putting up enough points) or the defense (in not getting critical stops) than he will be at himself for trading away a kicker that he had already cut. ;)

[That Guy]

Good for CP. Too bad you now have to play in front of a fanbase entirely consisting of drunk, ungrateful *. Don't miss, or they will threaten your family.

Huh?

Huh?

Kicker killed the Ducks they lost most of games in Chip's time that cost them a shot at the big time because they had no K.

 

Not because of Henery because of the same issues Henery had missing easy kick's short kick off's I knew he was gone and Parkey would take his place when we made the deal.

 

Chip could very well have a national championship on his resume if he had a K at Oregon. That Maldonado was horrible wasn't surprised to see Chip keep Parkey and the big leg. I could never understand how the Ducks couldn't find a K when Oregon is one of the most soccer crazy states

 

Don't be surprised when I draft him

[Warhorse]

This reminds me of the line of thinking........

 

"just because I broke up with my girlfriend, doesn't mean I want anyone else to have her".

 

Classic.

 

Like was mentioned above, Grigs did Philly good. He knew that CP would get snagged and traded him before we cut him...... for a player Philly was cutting. Probably get the same in return at some point.

You make good points Gavin. 

 

Plus, after he's waived you never know what team will claim him, and Grigson is well aware that Tennessee is in the market.  From that perspective this trade is very good.
