Not seeing this anywhere.

 

I have loved the moves Chip has made so far this offseason. Only one i didnt absolutely love was the Demarco signing at that money but at least it was a net win getting Demarco for less money than mccoy when Murray is better for his system. Mccoy more electric but i hate all the dancing he does and hate the way he holds the ball so loose.

 

But this would be awful. I like Mariota, guy can probably win big with Philly longterm, but this team can compete for a SB right now with a healthy Bradford. Especially when the deals you are saying involve them losing stud DL fletcher cox. He was their best player last year

Far fetched but I have seen stranger things.....Bradford sweating bullets.....

 

Did you know that no sporting good stores in the Philadelphia area have any Bradford jerseys in stock.....

IDK that bradford would be sweating bullets really. He will be a starter anywhere he goes. Im sure hed prefer Philly over somewhere like Cleveland but either way he will start and have a shot to earn a big time paycheck by staying healthy and putting up good numbers.

Way too much for the #2 pick

 

It's actually just about right. It costs a fortune to move up to the 2 hole, from where they are sitting(19,20) The #2 pick has a 2600 point value. The 19 and 20 picks are 1725 combined. I'd like to see them be able to do the deal while holding onto Kendrick. It's not getting done without Cox. I wouldn't make the trade to begin with. Mariota will be a bust. But what they would be giving up is just about right. Fair value for both sides

I think it's funny as hell that Philly sporting good shops refuse to stock Bradford's jersey because they think Chip's trading him.

 

Philly lost their 2 best WRs the last 2 years-- they swapped out Shady for Murray-- a wash at best-- traded away their starting QB for a guy who has played as many snaps as PO69 the last 2 years, let their best pass rushing end go, let their best OL go via FA---

 

And Philly fans think they're better.

You have to look at all Chip's moves as a whole, not individual. He devalues the WR position, which most good teams do too. Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb turned into elite WRs with Rodgers at QB. Patriots don't care about WR, Seahawks too.' Those teams value route running and spacing. Sure if you can get Randy Moss for like a 4th rd pick you grab it, but you don't waste a decent amount of cap on a guy who just runs fast down the field. You can find anyone to do that.

 

Foles was never gonna win in this offense

 

Shady made too much money and was could not grind tough yards at all, was only good in space

 

If all this fails it really doesn't matter because last year's roster or 2 years ago wasn't gonna win a super bowl anyway.

Philly swung and missed on Gore, I think Murray chased the eagles, previously the eagles stance was that you don't pay that position (Rb) big bucks; then they missed out on Gore and signed Matthews And Murray to go with Sproles. Not exactly a level headed approach to things from the Chipper. That's a lot of money at the RB position, a lot of new money. This RB class is loaded, Coleman in Philly would have been a nightmare, Im glad they paid for the injured vets.

Here's the problem with that.

 

You can devalue the WR position if you have Aaron Rodgers, and Tom Brady as your QB.

 

Seattle is a different beast-- they run the ball to set up their play action. Philly doesn't do that particularly well either.

 

In today's NFL-- you can have the best route runners in the game--- if you can't create space-- it's not working. If it were that easy, everyone would throw the ball as well as Green Bay and New England.

 

Murray ran behind the best OL in football last year. Just wait til he gets to work behind Philly's mess.

Exactly. He has 13% of his salary cap tied up in 3 running backs.

 

And people think he's being smart with Philly's money.

 

And the best part-- look at the back of the Eagle defense. Still no safety at all.

Oregon's offense has always been based around using the run to set up the pass, specifically guys that go north south. McCoy was more East-West. Their offense employs PA to open up the WRs.

 

Who knows if it's gonna work, at least he trying something new. That's how you win without elite talent.

 

No one in the division got better, Cowboys got worse losing Murray. Eagles feel like they can strike now. Uptempo offense needs multiple RBs that run downhill.
