Eagles sign Kevin Curtis; AOL Fanhouse blogger thinks it's the greatest thing since sliced bread

Hey, I like Kevin Curtis. He was a nice little receiver for the Rams and filled in admirably for Isaac Bruce back in the '05-'06 season. And yes, he stays healthy, while Donte' Stallworth does not. Of course, it's easy to stay healthy when you're really a #3.

But this article clearly forgets about the presence of one Reggie Brown, who's been in the Eagles' system for a few years now. Curtis, on the other hand, is more familiar with the Mike Martz "Greatest Show on Turf" way of doing business.

Curtis IS a definite upgrade over Todd Pinkston, meaning for the first time in, like ever, you've got 2 Philly WRs worth drafting. Still, you HAVE to be careful when a WR jumps from occasionally going against a nickel- or dime-back to regularly going against a starting DB.

Moves like this usually work out during the season where you don't have time to reflect on your promotion, but seem to flop between seasons when the WRs have a chance to sit back and bask in their newfound starter status. Drew Bennett and Nate Burleson, anyone?
