I’ve been to Jacksonville and it’s a total armpit

I agree it is “refreshing” he is gone. The guy is a complete dog and total nitwit!!! To quote the great philosopher Forrest Gump, “that’s all I have to say about that”.

I love the absolute worst fans in all of sports, the Eagles fans, from the dirtiest, most crime-ridden city in the country, Filthadelphia, putting down Jacksonville.

Shouldn’t you guys be on the corner peddling something? Or standing in line for your checks? Somewhere a Colt 45 forty is missing his owner.

Coming from anywhere in the Northeast down to Florida, refreshing is the perfect word.

This is not about us cutting one of our stellar players. It was similar to the TO situation where he had to be cut to try and salvage the team. I’m sure he can still rush the passer, in the right system, which the Jags don’t run. Anyway I’m sure you’ll ultimately be disappointed.

What do Eagle fans care if Babin stays in Jax? He was cut and claimed off waivers. None of this was Babin’s choice. He’s stuck until end of next season unless Jags cut him.

You guys are sounding like jilted boyfriends. Jeez.

As for tarps, after that pathetic crowd this past game, Philly has zero room to criticize any city for their attendance.

I hope you enjoy playing in front of tarps while your teams fans stay home and pine for Tim Tebow. The fact is his production is in sharp decline, and at his age I can’t see that trend reversing. His character will be revealed, if chooses to stay and keep his money while Jax “bloosoms,” instead opting-out to join a contender for his last few years.

Yeah its a good thing the Eagles dumped Babin.. Because he just wasn’t performing. Only 5.5 sacks.. i mean the other guys were doing wayyyy better.

Trent Cole 1.5 sacks (but I like this guy)
Brandon Graham 1.5 sacks (drafted ahead of JPP, bust)
Vinny Curry 0 sacks (potential.. but jury is out)
Darryl Tapp 1.0 sacks (not seeing it)
Phillip Hunt 0.0 sacks (not seeing it)

I don’t need the guy to speak eloquently, or be a media sweetheart, we need a pass rusher. He has the most sacks with his time with the Birds than any player during his tenure. In a passing league it makes sense to have a pass rush. Don’t say he wasn’t the Eagles best pass rusher.. Or if you do, tell me who has been better the past 2 years..

It’s also funny in a completely ironic way that Babin is now labeled as a “Me” guy from the fanbase who worships Hugh Douglas.

Its refreshing to not have any pressure from fans and media that don’t care. Philly fans have passion. A guy like babin couldn’t spell it let alone understand it.

It’s refreshing because there’s no pressure for him to actually perform in Jacksonville.

Good luck with a guy whose only ever done anything in the wide 9 under a coach that allows him to run at the QB every down.

He better not plan on staying to long . This is his seventh team change in his short career. I’d keep a go bag ready of I were him. Not all these teams can be wrong. He is just not very good.

Babin got a raise. No state income tax plus civil fans. What more could a guy ask for?

Going from the Eagles to the Jaguars is like going from a train wreck to a plane crash.

Can’t blame him. Would you rather live in a Pennsylvania/New Jersey or Florida?

I hope he smacks Fitz around this weekend. I haven’t seen a Jaguar DB in an offensive backfield in a long time.

He’s right…the Eagles have become a nest of mediocrity, lethargy, injury, & depression.

being a season ticket holder in Philly I find it “refreshing” he is out of town on maybe the only team in the NFL worse than us

I’m just surpised he got there on time.

There has been rumors that his teammates can’t stand him because he comes off as self-absorbed and just plain selfish. I don’t care about Babin one way or the other, but now that he’s in the news a lot and doing a lot of interviews, you can see why people can’t stand this guy. The shallowness, pretentiousness, arrogance, and just plain selfishness just oozes from his pores as he speaks. I don’t know how you could sit next to this guy for 5 minutes without wanting to take a bat to his head. He almost can’t help but admit that he only cares about his sack stats and ignores any other aspect of playing the D- line and tackling, etc. He’s a one trick gimmick pony playing the wide-9 which is a gimmick defense. Good riddance.

This is the level of class one should expect from an ex-Eagle.

he means no state income the only positive.. lets be real here
