CeeDee Lamb, Who Is A Fantastic Receiver And Would Look Great In Green, Says The Eagles Have A More Passionate Fanbase Than Dallas
It's a shame because for the most part, guys like CeeDee Lamb don't get a chance to choose who they play for. You have a great college career, and then you're at the mercy of the draft. It's not like CeeDee Lamb is a Dallas Cowboy because he loves the Dallas Cowboys. He's a Dallas Cowboy because they had the 17th pick in the draft that year, and the Philadelphia Eagles didn't pick until 21. Now sure, he may have signed a 4-year extension to stay in Dallas. But the reality of the situation is that we can at least appreciate CeeDee Lamb while still hating the everliving shit out of the uniform he wears and the organization that employs him.
Especially if he continues to speak facts about the Eagles having a wildly more passionate fanbase than the Dallas Cowboys. Obviously the Cowboys might have more fans, just because every single coward who grew up in the 90s without any core beliefs or values ended up becoming a Cowboys fan. But rarely does quantity overmatch quality. Cowboy fans have been neutered over the last 30 years. Their team hasn't even sniffed an NFC Championship Game, meanwhile division opponents like the Eagles and Giants have each won 2 Super Bowls.
Now I'm sure this quote won't necessarily go over great in Jerry World. The man just signed a $136 million contract extension. You can't be getting paid $136 million to say that your fans suck, even if it's true. So eventually, CeeDee is probably going to need an exit strategy here. All I know is that if there's one player in the NFL who he'd probably love to link up with, it's his former quarterback from Norman.
I love Jahan Dotson, but if CeeDee ever wanted to be WR3 in Philly then I think the Eagles would be able to open up a spot for him. Just saying. Money is nice, but championships are better.
