LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
We should do something like this but with Freeman or Stafford instead of Cookie Monster.

To me the most relevant question is whether or not the Eagles are winning a Super Bowl with Sam fucking Bradford? If they're not, why not just keep Foles or use Sanchez or Barkley?
Do they honestly and truly believe he is their guy?

Because Chip has not long to live.

If that was the case he could have run it and got 5 yards and OOB easy. I wish I could find the play...

Fuck that, at least Manziel crashing and burning will be funny.

Chip does, yes.
Enjoy this wild ride for the next year or two, it won't last much longer than that.
I'm sure Chip would rather have Mariota but that isn't going to happen. You could ask pretty much any team if they think their QB is "their guy" to win the SB but most teams don't get the luxury of going from a Favre to a Rodgers or a Manning to a Luck. Most teams in the current NFL have to try to make due with the slim pickings available at the position, it isn't a position to be envied.

I think the Eagles chances of winning a superbowl with Bradford are about the same as they were with Foles or Sanchez. Not very good. But I also am curious what Bradford could do with a somewhat capable team around him.
Maybe? We don't know yet. Chip did know that Foles wasn't going to get them there, so why not make a change?
Of course, this could still all be a precursor to moving up for Mariota who we know Chip is convinced will win multiple SBs.
Bookmarked.

Oh come on, no one is going to take the bait and go full :kas for Bradford?
I'd take Tebow over Manziel at this point. High praise, indeed.

I want the Browns to go all in on Money Manziel just to see video of him polishing off an 8ball in the tunnel right before player intros.

As long as Tebow doesn't actually play any snaps, he's totally worth the money.
People actually have a reason to talk about the eagles now.

actually no, I saw it on Twitter.
Bradford's salary is only that high cause of where he was picked and due to the last cba. Even then he only has a year left. If he really is the guy they will get him to sign an extension which will reduce his contact considerably on an annual basis.
I assume the Eagles are going to wait until after the draft to do so on the off chance they do somehow land Mariota.
Sanchez is making decent back up money but then again he is a really good back up to have. He stepped in and played just as well as Foles.
Tebow's reported #s are all incentive based and dependent on him even being on the final 53. He might just have been picked up to see what he can do while Bradford still recovers.
No. I don't dislike Foles as much as Yankee but he had one great stretch against some terrible teams. His 2 INTS number is also misleading as a lot of INTS were dropped by defenses and Foles had fumbles which for some reason dont get brought up as turnovers.
He regressed a lot last season. Even accounting for injuries on the o line he was erratic, threw picks, has very questionable arm strength, and took terrible sacks just holding on to the ball forever. At this point he seems like a product of Chip's offense.
So we will see how he plays with the Rams when he doesn't have the same weapons, oline, and coach. Similarly if Bradford is healthy we will finally see how he looks with a real offensive coach/system/players.
Chip is banking on bringing out of Bradford what made him the #1 overall pick. We know the Oline, running game, coaching, and overall weapons will be far superior to anything he ever had in St. Louis.
I love McCoy and would take him over Murray but McCoy did lead the league in negative or no gain plays. Whether he didn't trust the blocking or not he dances way too much at times and instead of following the blocking he tries to cut back. Instead of 2nd and 7 or 2nd 5, Eagles were constantly in 2nd and 15.
The hope here is combo of Sproles, Mathews, and Murray will be just as effective for the running game especially since none of these guys cut back all the time or dance too much in the backfield.
I agree I didn't want to pay money for Murray and would rather have drafted a RB in the 3rd round but at the very least running game hasn't gotten worse and potentially could be even better.
Maxwell was needed even if they clearly overpaid. Secondary was and has been horrendous. They probably are going to use their 1st and or 2nd round pick to draft corners. Also signed Walter Thurmond. To me that is money well spent.
Eagles wanted to retain Maclin and made him a great offer. KC just made an even better offer that was 1-2M more plus allowed him to play back at home.
Cap space hasn't been an issue with the Eagles. Been salary cap champs for over a decade. Moves might not work but some were really needed.

Pretty uneventful weekend huh? Can't wait for the schedule release!
It usually slowly trickles out. Someone releases a few key dates, a few others do the same, and eventually someone puts it all together like a puzzle
Make use of your food stamps, snes.

Well it's #milanamonday so where are the yoga pants?
Rather see Bills vs Pats. I know no divisional games for the opener but it would be a more entertaining match up.
Why? Took over a 4-12 team and has had back to back 10-6 seasons with a terrible D and mediocre QBs.
Would have been in the playoffs last season too if not for the division winner guarantee spot rule.

What's he scheduled to make? Isn't it around 8 million already?
Yup and just as irrelevant as bringing up what these QBS did in the past with other teams.
Sanchez looked much better with Chip. Foles went from a unheard of midround pick to Rams franchise QB.
I have faith if Bradford stays healthy he too can have a career turnaround.

$6M but there's some signing bonus tied up in there. He might get a restructure and some cash up front, but the Steelers won't be giving him a new deal.

I found it:
Sam Bradford:
Nick Foles:
I have no idea if Bradford will stay healthy or not, but I do think he will play better then Foles if he does. Obviously that is a really low bar since Foles was so terrible last year.
Here is the article I got it from: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2392065-why-sam-bradford-can-excel-in-chip-kellys-offense

I wonder if this is just some typical PFT fantasy fiction.
You have to be a fucking moron to operate this way with the Steelers. They all know exactly how they do contracts. It is the same with everyone.
I hope it is not true.
