I don't care about the players in the conversation, really...but I just don't like the idea of giving up that much on a crapshoot; and the draft is a crapshoot. Should be able to get value at 8, especially this year when unworthy QBs are going 1-2. I'm not saying they'd hit at 8, but they'd have more picks over the next few years where the odds are better at hitting on winners. Just don't like the strategy overall.

so bradford has to go now, right?

like they cant go into the season with him as the 1 and wentz inactive. you cant trade all this for a guy and then sit him. you cant. they will.
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

I haven't been following things real closely but, I thought they got rid of Chip?

They spent too much money on him to dump him this season, so they probably will do exactly that. Him and Cox in a package deal for a late 2nd rounder this year.

The man. The myth. The legend.

roster hit would be massive...cant do it until next year...gotta hope he blows up this year then recoup some of the picks by trading him....which is funny cause the better Bradford does the dumber the trade up is

i still cant get over the fact they gave all that up and don't know who they are getting for it

Supposedly they're fine with either QB.


of course they are

we are going to trade a million picks away and be happy with whatever we end up with....its all good

has that ever happened in the history of sports where a team gave away this much and didn't know exactly what they were getting back?

Are you watching his presser? He all but said he knows who the Rams are taking.

i definitely believe him....especially because he would look like a total moron if he said otherwise...you also cant say wed be happy with either but we know who the rams are taking...basically hes saying no matter what we know exactly what we are doing
i can take a phrase thats rarely heard...flip it....now its a daily word

igy gettin it done like warrick

im the board pharmacist....always one step above yous

Howie structured Bradford's deal so they can trade him this offseason and just lose a few million this off-season, but I think he implied they would be keeping Bradford this year anyway. Which of course means nothing.

Parts of him blow up every year and it hasn't helped anyone.

While I think this is incredibly dumb based upon past outcomes of this type of trade, I can't fault them too much for a big swing at making the team legit, given the presumed ceiling with Bradford.

Problem is Wentz is an even bigger ???? than most QBs.

I wish they had Puppy Hitler back.

A North Dakota division 2 QB is worth all that.

They have a shtein ton of money wrapped up in Fragile Sam and Two First Names but now they piss away their draft and go get some division two schmoe.

Howie.

We should take a CF trip to the draft to boo the pick. That seemed to work out the last time.

Howie.

It isn't the brightest move ever, but I'll take it over putting all their money in RBs.

They should deal Chip's BFF Sam to SF

Get him out of here.

I mean...STL dumps him off on Kelly. And now both the Rams and Eagles mortgage their futures to go replace Bradford.

gargano: yoooo cuz dis is awesome, bo!

Over under on the number of times Jeffrey uses the word bold in his first presser?
