Week 7 - Eagles vs. Panthers, on SNF for some reason

[PhillyPhreak54]

theres probably a 50/50 chance to make the league boykin will need to switch to WR....so yes j is out of his mind for wishing they still had their second round pick to take him....dook is like six foot tall

His combine height will be interesting because he's listed as 6'2 now

But I don't even care if he is 6'0...he will be a good QB, I believe.

Jeffery's injury history makes him a no brainer for chipster.

[MDS]

any other untradeable players they should trade for?

[General_Failure]

Urlacher?

[QB Eagles]

I'm trying to figure out where in this thread trades were being discussed.

Todd has an odd way of making stuff up to suit his grievance. He's like a women in that regard.

[QB Eagles]

I count 14 franchises where the fans can feel confident that they will have a reasonably serviceable or better QB next season. If you're feeling generous, you can throw in Bortles and Bridgewater and make it 16. Then there's another handful of teams still kicking the tires on a QB and who aren't quite sure what they have yet, and what they have might turn out to be total shtein. Possibly you could even consider the Eagles to be in that group.

That leaves you with at least 10 franchises who would jump at the chance to sign any QB who gives them any hope whatsoever.... we're talking the kinds of franchises who could possibly get excited about bringing in Sanchez. These teams are chasing free agents (98% of whom are bound to suck since anyone even reasonably serviceable -- see Flacco -- usually gets locked up for a decade) and draft picks. Not sure what the stats on draft picks are but it wouldn't surprise me if even if you just look at first round QBs, only about 1/3 of them max are picks you feel good about 5 years later. So you basically have the choice of signing a loser and working to improve the rest of your team, or probably wasting a high to mid first round draft pick and the two-three years it takes to determine that the pick was indeed wasted, unless you luck out or happen to suck in the one year out of every ten that a Luck-level can't miss QB is available. You could also sign an ancient dude like Matt Hasselbeck who is probably better than any young guy in the draft or on the FA market but you can't fool a fanbase into thinking that offers long-term hope.

In the Eagles case, they have needs at other positions that are too desperate to ignore in the first round to take a risk on a QB who will probably suck. They will re-up with Bradford for cheap or find some other loser who at least has the glint of an upside. Only someone who hasn't watched the 49ers since they were in the Super Bowl could think that Kap would be a solution. Same goes for RGIII. Neither of those guys offer you any more than Michael Vick does at this point, and since you'd have to trade for them, they cost the franchise more than a similarly stinky FA.

Here's the list of potential 2016 Eagle starters. A few other QBs who seem ready for the glue factory should be available later on. You might be able to get Johnny Football if he's not suspended. Fantasize about one of these guys in Eagle green next year.

unfortunately you cant count on the eagles to not do that...you are dealing with GMCK....the guy who already gave up a second and a legit nfl starter for the guy they might now sign for cheap

thats assuming bradford will even be that cheap....you just said yourself there are no less than 10 teams who would jump at signing someone like him

Chip got rid of a RB because he only ran for 1300 yards in this amazing system. Why would he keep a QB that's so much worse than that?
