My hope for a Wilson contract is something kind of small with incentives out the ass:

12-14 mill per year base
500k for 3,000+ passing yards
Additional 500k for 3,500+ passing yards
500k for 60%+ completiton percentage
Additional 750k for 65%+ completion percentage
500k for playing all 16 games
300k for making the playoffs
Additional 500k for making the NFC title game
Additional 1 million for making the Super Bowl
Additional 2 million for winning the Super Bowl

That adds up to a possible 18.55mill-20.55mill per year. Probably unrealistic as hell but this is my best case scenario.

Edit: this is the 3rd post I've made today that's been at the bottom of a page. X_x

Trade him for picks and start TJack

Tebow is the only shitty player they have money dedicated to.

While I prefer McCoy, Murray is not shitty.

Isn't Sam Bradford getting paid $13 million? That is absurd...And than you have Sanchez making north of $3 million, and a 4th string QB in Tebow making way more than a 4th string unwanted QB should be making.

Yet Nick Foles is getting paid $1.5 million and is better than all of these guys....

You had LeSean McCoy already. They swapped 1 good RB for another, where is the benefit in this exactly?

And didn't they give Byron Maxwell $63 million? They got rid of Maclin due to money, or so that's what is suspected, yet he got paid less than Maxwell, and produced +1,300 yards. Nothing he has done has made this team better.

Craig isn't the problem.

The problem is that Bonds have always been inherently silly, and that the action was always cutting edge.

They tried to make it more "grounded" and "gritty" and failed way too hard, while removing all the fun stuff.

Really? He definitely plays the part believably enough.

A face bare of any emotional display, and instead of the typical finesse we got...

...a Rambo double.
As Dutch said, the movies with him took all the fun out of the franchise.

Every Bond has to measure up to Moore and Connery.
And a certain silly wink-wink, nudge-nudge attitude is what makes a Bond a Bond, and not say a Jack Ryan or something. The typical British humor was MIA in Craigs movies.
Yet I admit, his screenplays were even worse than his acting.

I'm not even a huge fan of Moore.

I'm a weirdo who liked Dalton (and Brosnan), though.

That being said, Die Another Day was a low point, Rosamunde Pike notwithstanding.

It simply doesn't feel like the Craig Bonds would be successful on their own merits. Too many movies that do action better, too many movies that do gritty better. Only thing left is nostalgia.

I for one would love love love an Edgar Wright Bond.

Sorry to break it to you all but it's 2015 and the Bond movies you want died years ago. Bond movies are now entertaining spy thrillers that gross a billion dollars worldwide. Skyfall is the highest grossing Bond film ever even after adjusting for inflation.

All of this may be true, except for the bolded.

My favorite angle is that Chip is spending a roster spot on a 2 point conversion specialist. I'll never stop laughing if that is true.

You're ok in my book

Bradford is lightyears better then Foles. It is silly to even compare them as QBs. Bradford's problem is injuries, but Foles has also been hurt a bunch so that is a wash. Also McCoy makes way more money then Murray, Murray is a much better fit for this offense as well. McCoy has so many negative plays, and that just kills this offense. Why would you compare Maclins salary to Maxwell's? That is insane. Eagles desperately need a CB, and Maxwell was the best available. They also offered Maclin 1 million less then the Chiefs, he wanted to go back home and play for Andy. Maclin also has a terrible injury history. It is funny that people say the Eagles shouldnt have signed Murry due to his injury history, but then they say they should have signed Maclin. People just want Chip, and the Eagles, to fail. So far the moves this offseason are looking good, and now we have god's favorite son on the team, there is no stopping the Eagles!

Brosnan was a good bond who was dragged down by bad scripts.

Craig movies are not really Bond movies since they go away from the formula so much.

Doesn't change the fact that the Craig movies aren't good.
