Eagles 2016 Draft

[QB Eagles]

If Bradford doesn't think he comfortably outperform a 29 year-old career backup and a kid who has started for an FCS team for two years, I'm not sure why he thinks he deserves to start for the Eagles.

[ice grillin you]

its not what Bradford thinks its how he feels...probably didn't feel very welcomed or supported before he signed with the eagles....now hes like what the hell is going on

again its easy for couch potato football fans like me or you to just sit back and say shut up and play but that's not how real life works

If this was the plan I don't understand why Howie didn't wait until closer to the draft to pull the trigger. If he has any interest in trading Bradford, he shouldn't have given him the opportunity to get all salty about the trade.

[PhillyPhreak54]

This is 90% on Bradford and his agent and 10% on Howie.

Like QB said - if he doesn't believe he can beat out a backup and a Div II rookie then he's got a problem.

Its not like he was some superstar QB last year or at any point in his career. His sense of entitlement here is strong.

[ice grillin you]

none of its really on anyone.....its just life

Bradford didn't do anything.....hes trying to make a better position for himself than being on a team where his coach prefers daniel and his gm and owner prefer wentz...remember he went from complete free agency to all this...that cant be easy

Howie could have handled the whole thing differently from a team/roster perspective.....but i dont think he didn't anything wrong per se directly to sam Bradford unless he lied about getting Daniel and more or less promised the starting job to Bradford this year

thats bs...this is the real world and the big boy league

dude has a 1 year deal, is getting paid and has a starting job. play football. not everything works out just so. if it did, he wouldve had his 5 year deal from the broncos or jets or something. but he didnt.

i get why hes angry and whats hes feeling, but hes gotta suck it up. dont run to your agent and have him complain on his behalf, thats a bitch move.

so, about this draft coming up here ...

Birds have a 3rd and two 5ths, I hope they move up to the 2nd round and grab a wr

he absolutely does not have a starting job that's the whole point and if you don't realize that then you don't get why hes angry or what hes feeling

also you have to complain right now as much as possible from the agent and the player as its leading up to the draft when there is the more likelihood of a deal...once the draft ends I suspect everything will calm down and Bradford will show up to the offseason mandatory's

would be nice to see them find a way to get back in the 2nd. with all this Bradford talk, is there any chance the eagles pull off another big deal and trade both samantha and fletch to reload a few picks ?

[Rome]

I feel so bad for Sammycakes.   He has no guarantee about his job and only several million dollars given to him prior to playing a snap this year to cushion the blow.  How can he possibly go on?!?

hes going to be the starter week 1 if he wants it. now hes leash might be shorter than others, but so what. play better. win games. if the dude cant hold off chase daniel and some 1AA nobody then he needs to go back to his tornado alley ranch and never come back.

i dont have an issue with him looking for a spot to call home for a while, but the market didnt allow such a thing for him. his best offer was a 1 year deal with the eagles. he took it. if he keeps winning games, carson wentz and chase daniel will never step on the field.

[ice grillin you]

its 50/50 between him and Daniel for the day 1 starter...you don't pay that much money for a back up that the guy you hired used to coach and loves and don't think he has an equal shot at starting

now I happen to think Bradford is better and will win the job but thats far different than what Bradford was facing when he signed with the eagles....right now its an open competition and Bradford has to feel like and hes probably not wrong in feeling the coach is hoping the other guy wins it

[ice grillin you]

why would anyone feel sorry for him?...or is this your unhealthy obsession coming out again with athletes and how they get paid to much for playing a game youd gladly play for free

[smeags]

scenario - you're the GM.

the rams just farged everything up for the eagles by taking wentz.

whats your move ?
