See You Later L.J.

L.J. Smith has signed a one year deal with the Baltimore Ravens for $1.5 million.  The classic injury-prone, underachieving tight-end never lived up to the billing coming out of Rutgers University.  Yes there were flashes of greatness that we saw during the course of Smith’s tenure with the Eagles, but there were also plenty of dropped passes, missed blocks and recurring ailments that derailed his opportunity to be an elite tight-end out of a draft that also produced Jason Witten and Dallas Clark.  When you depart and there is no backlash in your wake that you’ll be missed, people may classify the L.J. experience as a bust. 

We wish you well L.J., but you did not leave enough of an impression to be missed.  Unfortunately, your an afterthought in a long list of past Eagle dissapointments.
