If true, the nerve on this fucking guy :jnc
He was drafted #1 overall. That's it. It's what makes the above quote so hilarious, he's made millions upon millions for being utter shit just because of his draft position and he's about to be on the receiving end of it now.
He was lucky that he was in the last class on the old rookie wage scale too, unless he fucked up massively off the field the Rams (RIP) were going to keep trotting him out there to take a massive dump on the field just because of the money they had tied up in him.

Go Browns!
Howie and Chip won't be working together on a deal especially when one could potentially "win" over the other.
So he shouldn't be a team's first option? Then it was even dumber for Howie to give him the contract he did. That's on the Eagles, not Sam.
Again why should we be angry at Bradford? He signed the deal the team gave him. He didn't even test FA and chose to stay in Philly cause he really felt like something was working there, plus his teammates really wanted him back.
Howie and the Eagles FO has messed this up from the start. Chase is the QB Pederson most wanted since he knows him and coached him for the past 3 seasons. He also makes sense if you are going to be using a vet for a year or 2 while the rookie waits.
Bradford never fit into the equation unless you really wanted him to be the guy moving forward and the 2 year deal was insurance against injury or terrible play. Which is what I am sure he was "sold" and now the 2nd overall pick makes that all go away.
What's your last minute thoughts going in to the Draft BG?
I think the point he makes in the article about how if Bradford is traded and the Eagles are forced to play Chase and or the rookie, the Brows win BIG.
The Eagles 2017 1st round pick will most def end up being a top 5 pick, a pick the Eagles could have seriously used but just traded away.
I can't believe Howie's plan was that of the Sixers. Just keep hoarding QBs? Yeah that doesn't work with vets who you have to pay starter money. Dumb-ass.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
Makes sense now that he knows Howie is hoarding QBs and might have to trade Sam even after paying him $11m.
Come home Russell!

We don't need a backup DT.

You're already overqualified for the Eagles.

I get all the talk about Bradford never having earned his money and all that. But it doesn't give Roseman and Doug the right to lie to him in the FA process. Problem with the trade is Howie will never trade Bradford to SF b/c he legit hates Chip and would never help him, and they don't want to play Wentz this year. If Daniel got hurt or looked bad they would have to
I don't think the wait it out method is going to work especially in Philadelphia. For some reason I think those fans are going to clamor for the rookie the first time Bradford throws an incomplete pass.

The last time the Eagles drafted a QB at #2 it was Mcnabb. He didn't start until week 10. Philadelphia Eagles fans are very knowledgeable in my experience, and they will understand that a rookie, and Wentz especially, will need time.
As we get closer to the draft, seems like a few things are forming as a consensus
Cleveland will draft a WR. Analytics guys know you have to score to win, and you have to throw to score. They'll get the WRs in place before the QB, this time
Stanley and Tunsil will go top 10
Elliott will go top 10, w/ a Miami trade up a big possibility
New Orleans seems like they will draft a QB, since they apparently were in play for the #1 pick

Damn right EDP.. Damn right.
If that were to happen.. I would give up on the Browns and change teams. I am not even kidding.. I'll put on a bengals jersey, packers jersey, or anything.
That would be the straw for me.
It's been like this for months CB.. Months.
Hopefully these involve a trade down with us pls..
Next year Fournette/Watson train. Pls take one for the team Philly.
Had no idea New Orleans was trying to trade up for the #1 pick considering how depleted their roster is. I wonder what QB they're looking at.
As always I hope other teams trade up in front of pick #16 to reach for a QB so someone like Sheldon Rankins falls to Detroit.
If Ezekiel Elliott is as good as analysts say he is then why wouldn't he be a Top 5 pick? If he's a game changer like Adrian Peterson or Todd Gurley I draft him if I'm the Cowboys.

Bradford's lifetime NFL earnings will probably be close to $100 million. Pretty amazing for a guy that's never been to a Pro Bowl.

So Tommy Lawlor was on the Eagles fancast last week the day before they traded up to #2 and he was asked who he thought that the Eagles would get in the draft and he said that without a doubt Carson Wentz was their number 1 target. He said he had heard rumblings that they had a trade in place with the Chargers if Wentz was still on the board when they picked. I thought that was pretty interesting since he is super connected with the team.
Or had a winning season, or made the playoffs...

It is almost like football is a team game.
One mans opinion but I have seen that opinion repeated a few times by others. Most seem to think receivers start going off the board in the early 20's starting with Houston. Personally I dont believe the Texans take a WR
Yet you won't find anyone here arguing he is great or a to 10 QB.
He didn't play for 2 years (back to back knee injuries) and played much better in the 2nd half last year.
The issue isn't what he has or hasn't done. Issue is the Eagles FO liking him enough, even after Chip was removed, to give him a lot of money to start and prove himself but then also throwing away resources (which could have put a better team on the field to help Sam) to get a guy who no matter what will replace Sam in a year.
Its stupid. They should have let him walk and no one would have said anything. Easy to chalk it up to new coach and new/old GM who didn't trade for him.
Nope. Peyton Manning was the best QB in football last year
What does that have to do with him being a bad player? He has failed to reach any real metric of success, both as an individual and as a team.
We should probably stop evaluating players individually because football is a team game.

You pointed to him not making the playoffs as a mark against him, in reality the reason the rams never made the playoffs is they have the worst head coach in football and they never put any talent around Sam.
