2016 Starting QB

[Butchers Bill]

if you like Bradford its not about being a qb away...its about getting a legit nfl qb that you think you can win with....bradford isn't even 30...hes going to play for at least another 5-6 years...peyton manning was more of an example of what you are saying

Fair point, but all the other teams have entrenched starters or projects in place.  Bradford is a level or two above all the slop the Texans have rolled out this year.

[ice grillin you]

agree with that....you gotta have teams who think Bradford is a significant upgrade over what they have now...i guess I think there are more of those than you do

[QB Eagles]

The Browns and 49ers come to mind.

Or Brees this year if the saints let go of him with his cap figure.

[ice grillin you]

yup same exact thing

[General_Failure]

but howie is going to prove to everyone he can win and hes not going to do it with chip kelly's roster or qb.

I'd be real upset about that if Chip hadn't completely gutted the roster of talent.

[Butchers Bill]

The Browns and 49ers come to mind.

Neither of those will want to bring in an almost 30 year old Bradford.

30 isn't even close to old for a qb much less "almost 30" aka 28....and you are acting like there are good quarterbacks all over the nfl just waiting around for teams to come and get them...in fact while I don't believe they would have traded a one for him there were rumors the browns offered that for Bradford....either way clearly they had a lot of interest

in almost any year 2016 sam bradford is going to be the best qb on the FA market...you highly underestimate the interest he would draw

[MDS]

teams in desperate need of a qb:
texans
browns

teams that might look for an upgrade:
jets
bills
49ers
rams (obvs not bradford)

teams that have qbs with expiring deals:
washington
broncos
j's eagles

id say theres going to be some significant interest in sammy

[ice grillin you]

id be really surprised if osweiler cousins or bradford hits the open market

[PhillyPhreak54]

I don't see BO or You Like That hitting the market

If Bradford doesn't like who they hire he could decide to go the FA route

What's the cap room available for next year?

[Rome]

I seriously can't believe you guys want Bradford back.  He sucks.  He's got a decent arm, absolutely no mobility and he looks scared shteinless when it hits the fan.

I agree that the line is a mess and the receivers suck but why waste that sort of money on a guy who is fragile physically and mentally and isn't a top notch guy to begin with?

Just saying, I don't see any future for him in Philly.  If he had a great line and even decent receivers, I'd be more willing to give him a shot, but with what they have now, why bother?

[Susquehanna Birder]

Browns have a draft position plus, and the need for a coach. If Kelly goes there, book them on gettin Jared Goff.

[ice grillin you]

He sucks.

If he had a great line and even decent receivers, I'd be more willing to give him a shot, but with what they have now, why bother?

its kind of obvious that no matter who the qb is we all are under the assumption that the line is going to be rebuilt and better wr's will be brought in

if you think bradford sucks then theres not much more to say...go with sanchez next year and hope you get someone better than bradford in 2017 2018 or 2019

i happen to think bradford is a good qb with still some ceiling plus you actually have him right now...you aren't hoping a miracle happens in the next few years and they get a franchise qb....a bird in the hand...

[QB Eagles]

Some people think Bradford basically equals Sanchez. If Bradford looked the same all year as he did at the beginning of the season, I would agree.

Now I see him being more of an Alex Smith type who probably has another five years plus starting if he's not derailed by another devastating injury. He's not going to be a superstar, he's not going to be exciting, but he can be a stabilizing force for teams otherwise reeling at the QB position, one of which would be the Eagles. The stats weren't great, but in the second half of the season I didn't find myself thinking "wow what a terrible play by Bradford" any more often than I do when I watch a good QB. [They all have at least a couple of clunkers a game.] On the other hand, with Sanchez I wasn't even agreeing with half of his basic decisions, let alone his execution. It seemed like there was a big difference to me.
