You need more than a decent last half and coming off an injury to earn that kind of treatment. Until he can 1) play well or even just decent consistently, and 2) and most importantly, STAY HEALTHY FOR THE FIRST TIME SINCE 2012, you do not have that long term faith in him. Period. He hasn't earned it.
For an example, in case this is hard to understand, it is as utterly insane to me as trusting Andy Dalton and Marvin Lewis with year after year of playoff hopes. What the fuck have they done to deserve that trust? It's year 7 and you're still at square one. With Bradford, it's even the same amount of time! Year 7! Still at square one.
What did he do to earn that kind of trust that he IS the long term solution, or ever can be, besides get hurt and get guaranteed money to get hurt? It sure isn't Wins or Playoff Wins.
Roseman was on NFLN. The highlights?
- He says the pick will be a QB for sure. They'd be happy with either Wentz or Goff.
- Sam Bradford is the QB for 2016.
- He didn't think there were any players on day 2 of the draft that would help the Eagles.
The Chip Kelly vanilla or chocolate jokes write themselves.
I'm kind of stunned that he'd give up what he did without being completely in love with one of those prospects or without having a pretty good idea of what the Rams are going to do.
No player from day 2? I think I'll keep a tally of all the guys drafted on day 2 by other teams to see who could have helped the Eagles.
The thing I don't get is we still have a day 2 pick...So why say that?
He doesn't even know where he's picking in the draft :mjlol:

He should've known this from getting only a 2 year deal.
Not going to happen. Philly paid him $11m already

Even the Eagles don't believe in Bradford. Pepiope gotta grind that much harder to kiss that ass. What an off season.
Tom Penny jokes don't really work when the idea is to encourage more posters to stop lurking. How are they going to know who makes joke posts?

on paper, it's a terrible trade for the eagles. if wentz or goff works out as a top QB then it's a great trade. can't know for a few years!
also, regarding josh norman, i'm assuming he's going to get suspended or has some issue we don't know about.

Panthers offered him a non-exclusive franchise tag
Norman never signed the tender, indicating that he would rather hold out for a long term deal than play under the tag.
Panthers and Norman were never close to one another on what that long-term contract should look like.
Panthers decided to let him go now rather than dealing the distraction of a holdout going into the season.
Honestly they did him a favor. He's not playing for ANYONE at the rate that he wanted ($16 mil per year) but the Panthers rescinding the tag does allow him to probably find a $13-14 mil per year deal on the open market.
They could have just as easily just let him sit and make NOTHING until he decided to capitulate.

Youngins these days I tell yah.
Norman is gonna swindle whoever he signs with if he gets $13-14M.
Hawks-GAF - any thoughts on the mock draft? I'm probably just going to go BPA that fits the mold and has a pretty high SPARQ score, as long as he's at a position where we could use an immediate starter or depth while they develop.

Go Cavs, Amirite?
Im kinda likening Myles Jack for Browns if everything checks out, and I think it did. Wouldn't be bad with a trade down in he teens though

Bills are on the clock.
I was actually thinking about the draft today. It seems it's possible that 3 QB's could go in the 1st round. Additionally several CB's will go in the 1st round (which is good for SEA because we have CB depth), and that means a lot of D-line and O-line talent could slip to us. I think OL and DT are probly the two most likely positions. (In reality SEA likely trades out of the 1st round)
I haven't been following the mock so I don't know who's off the board, but I was thinking something along the lines of Chris Jones, Andrew Billings, Sheldon Rankins, Ryan Kelly, Taylor Decker, or Vernon Butler. I'd avoid Nkemdiche at all costs.

No money room
pats already have their shut down elite CB on a cheap UDFA deal, norman would need to make less than that for it to work.
Yeah, I'm not into Nkemdiche either. Pete seems like he can handle guys with some character issues, but there's just too much smoke there for me to feel comfortable.
OT if there is good value, otherwise DT.
Reading the wickersham article; I'm all in on Nkemdiche if he drops to us. He will be pissed and want to prove himself.
Also, if we could grab Jaylon Smith in the 3rd round, that'd be nice.
If we didn't already have Frank Clark and hasn't lost Mebane's veteran leadership I'd be a little more comfortable. Position groups can typically keep one guy in line if they have strong veterans in his ear, but two might be too much.
