Marcus Mariota Watch

[General_Failure]

Three team trade. Eagles give up Foles and Sanchez to the taterskins, taterskins give up Griffin and a sixth round pick to the Rams, Rams give up Bradford to the Eagles.

MDS, does trading away Marcus Smith count as trading away a #1?

[QB Eagles]

Eagles trade Chip to Oakland for their #1.
Chip then resigns à la Bill Belichick.
Mustachioed man of mystery Skip Kelster is announced as the new head coach of the Eagles. He also wears a cowboy hat and a monacle.

[MDS]

"he's everything you want"

-chip

[MDS]

he's not mark sanchez

[SD]

It's bad I wish Foles was back...in the grand scheme of things it doesn't matter and they still lose tonight but he's less painful to watch

[PhillyPhreak54]

Less than zero percent chance they get Mariota.

[QB Eagles]

Less than zero percent chance they get Mariota.

C'mon Phreak, that's overly pessimistic. There's exactly zero percent chance they get Mariota.

[General_Failure]

Less than zero. Chip's prepared to show up at this kid's house and piss on his mother should he be available when they're picking.

[MDS]

jax/ten LOSER gets the 1

jax doesnt want a qb and whisenhunt doesnt run the kind of offense mariota would do well in -- foles does

stop your negativity

[PhillyPhreak54]

Look what it took Washington to move up and they were waaaaay closer.

Mariota, if no one takes him according to the current draft order and no trades are made, will not get past NY Jets

[General_Failure]

If that happens, does he kill himself before signing with them, or do the Jets sue his family to get the signing bonus back?

[MDS]

Look what it took Washington to move up and they were waaaaay closer.

thats such a cop out...you only talk about it because it didnt work. what if it did? then who cares. if MM sucks and the eagles fall apart big deal. nick foles wasnt doing anything.

[PhillyPhreak54]

No I'd say it even if it did work

They'd have to give up four number one picks.

Basically a package that's crippling to building depth

[MDS]

1. they arent winning with foles or whatever 3rd round slopbasket they can pick
2. MM might suck
3. trading for MM would destroy their depth for a few years
4. BUT if hes good...if it works....they could come out OK in 3 years

or they can go 10-6 and lose to rodgers, romo and wilson. you pick.
