2015 Ex-Eagles In The NFL

[SD]

Probably because their alternative isn't much better, Foles is young and they were so high on him when they traded for him, so might as well stick it out with him.

I've seen enough of Bradford to know he's a million times better than Foles. Foles supporters say he doesn't have weapons, well neither does Bradford. I would still reverse the trade because of the picks involved but if I had to chose one I'm taking Bradford.

i just think its strange that the guy who wanted bradford benched 10 minutes into the season is suprised by foles sitting down

[General_Failure]

The guy who was better than Sanchez can't possibly be playing bad enough to be benched.

SD pretty much summed it up

You need anything else from me? Stock tips? Good restaurants?

ok so wait these are the reasons?

1. alternative isn't much better, 2. Foles is young 3. they were so high on him when they traded for him

the eagles gave up a second round pick for a guy drafted number one overall who is backed up by marc sanchez and you wanted him benched in week 2

foles is statiscally the worst qb in the nfl has no upside and is just a year younger than bradford but you are suprised they benched him?

so no i dont need anything else from you as its pretty clear you are demented beyond help....but yes im completely baffled

[PhillyPhreak54]

Jesus Christ talking with you makes me want to walk in front of a train sometimes.

I am shocked because he was supposed to be their QB of the future and they have cut bait already.

I wanted Bradford to not even show up at his introductory press conference.

[Rome]

Sometimes? 

[Sgt PSN]

I don't think the Rams thought in any way that Foles was their QB of the future.  Pretty sure this is how the conversation went down in Rams Land:

GM:  I found an idiot who wants to give us a 2nd round pick for Sam.

Owner:  What's the catch?

GM:  We have to take Nick Foles, too.

Owner:  DO IT NOW BEFORE THEY SOBER UP!

[ice grillin you]

rams def weren't high on foles....mostly cause he stinks

Bradford was way more of the eagles future yet j wanted him benched two games in but is "shocked" a complete pos who is the single worst starting qb  in the nfl this year is benched 

I suppose he has to act shocked as it fits his narrative that foles is actually a decent qb and more importantly better than Bradford

[SD]

The Rams were definitely high on Foles. They passed up a 1st round pick for Bradford because the Birds offered Foles. Around the time of the trade the amount of love between the two was disgusting. Plus they caked him off for a year when they could have just let him play out his rookie deal.

[ice grillin you]

i dont see the love....forget the benching this week which kinda speaks for itself

the first round pick the rams were offered they said was a real late one and they preferred foles a second and a 4th...not really much different in value there

and the foles extension was short and cheap for a starting nfl qb certainly not a deal you give to someone you are in love with

basically the rams had no interest in foles until chip came to them on bradford who he coveted....then they were like throw in some extra picks and sure well do it

foles stinks....we knew it chip knew it and the rams knew it...but they were like bradford is never healthy at least foles plays and he makes 5 million dollars less per year and well get some picks in the process....sure why not

the love imo was chip towards bradford not the rams towards foles

You don't pass up a higher pick and pay a guy an extra $14 million or whatever it was if you're not high on him. That makes no sense.

[ice grillin you]

you pass on the higher pick because you are still getting a good and decent pick in return plus a starting qb versus getting just a late first and having no qb....just because they werent in love with foles doesnt mean he didnt carry value

as for the money 7 million a year is nothing for a starting nfl qb coming off his rookie deal...and they gave him two years...if they truly loved him he would have gotten tannehill money....shtein he didnt even get alex smith money....closer to brian hoyer

he got "we will take a shot on this guy money and in the likely scenario where he sucks we can easily get out of the deal with little pain and will still have two nice picks in our pocket"

we will have to agree to disagree on that being "disgusting love"....to me the whole move was about being sick of bradford not loving foles

[SD]

He got $14 million guaranteed, that's hardly nothing for a guy you're not high on.
