Marcus Mariota Watch

PhillyPhreak54 · March 03, 2015, 06:52:52 PM

farg it - trade the next three drafts for him. Why not now?

Butchers Bill · March 04, 2015, 04:52:18 PM

I have a feeling, assuming Lurie doesn't kill the deal, that Mariota is going to be an Eagle.

Chip wants this to be his team - he's played with the Fat Mans players. He's played with Howies players. Now he want's his players on both sides of the ball, from top to bottom. If there is a toilet scrubber that's sick of his job at the University of Oregon, Chip will pay to relocate him.

Over a week or so, the team has gotten younger and most of the old guard is gone.

Not sure how or what it will take to move up, and I have no idea how it will all turn out, but this is turning out to be one of the more interesting off seasons in recent memory.

I would not be surprised at all if Howie were to leak something like this. Especially if it's a ridiculous deal.

Already discussed in the other thread and I'd make that deal in a heartbeat

it kills me how people talk so non-chalantly about chip just gonna move on up from 20 to 2 or 20 to 6 or whatever and just get the franchise qb he wants hell with the rest of the league....farg the fact that no one in the history of the nfl has ever moved up like that and farg whatever team he chooses to trade with they are going to def accept his offer and farg teams 19 to 2 not being able to offer a better deal and farg teams from 19 to 1 maybe wanting mariota themselves....

chip is gonna pull it off for no other reason than mariota went to Oregon I guess?

its absolutely mind boggling to me and I don't get how normally really smart people both in and out of the media have been totally hood winked here and are falling for this shtein

No one has ever moved up like that?

QuoteAfter failing to strike a deal with Cincinnati and move up in the NFL Draft to the fourth spot to take Georgia wide receiver A.J. Green, the Falcons came back two spots later and consummated a trade with Cleveland to get the sixth pick and use it on Alabama wideout Julio Jones.

The Falcons really coveted a receiver in the first round because they were eager to move up from the 27th spot. It was a blockbuster deal. In exchange for getting the sixth pick, Atlanta gave the Browns five -- five! -- draft picks: their 1st- (27th overall), second- (59th) and fourth-round (124th) picks this year and their first- and fourth-round picks in 2012.

ATL from 27 to 6

that was for a wr not a franchise qb which is what I meant but failed to say...it also aint number one like people have been talking about with chip

QB Eagles · March 04, 2015, 06:22:48 PM

It really feels all like misdirection to me. Also I can't remember seeing any of the national NFL writers treating the idea like something that could actually happen.

ice grillin you · March 04, 2015, 06:37:54 PM

im not saying you are wrong but what would be the purpose of misdirection....to make another team move up and overpay?

also several national writers have pushed this deal as a reality....for example peter king has the eagles taking mm at #5 in his mock...to be fair there have been some people who have dismissed the notion out of hand but I have been floored by how many people are running with it

another reason why trading up into the top 5 is ludicrous to me and something that people don't seem to be factoring in is that another team has to be willing to drop down to 20.....how people think tampa would be willing to move from 1 to 20 is beyond me

also other teams see the eagle cap room their solid roster and chip kelly getting his franchise qb and all of a sudden the eagles number one next year could in theory be really low

hbionic · March 04, 2015, 06:38:44 PM

I think Todd hundley is the real target here.

AshishPatel81 · March 04, 2015, 06:41:24 PM

As each day goes by, I'm getting more and more convinced this is going to happen.

PhillyPhreak54 · March 04, 2015, 07:41:57 PM

Maybe the national guys are pimping it because they've been good something to reinforce the belief?

1000 things have to go right for the eagles to be in the position to get MM...then chip has to want to do the insane deal and there is 0 evidence to support that he does other than people who dont know him/dont talk to him theorizing that he does.

LOL & yes it is and will be. Buckle up sportsfans. Nothing, with a few exceptions, but lots of head sratchers since 2004 off season. March 10, lift off.
