The Eagles are gambling a ton on a guy that didn't play College Football at the highest level last year.

The chances are very good they win no more than 4 games this year.

They chose the wrong year to suck

Can you be more specific as to what year you're talking about?

They have a very good defense and play a pretty weak schedule. Expectations are out the window with all the new faces that are involved but either way this is all a win-win. They strike out miserably and finally clean house or something actually works at QB. Worst case scenario really is just being stuck in mediocrity

If Wentz is the real deal then there is absolutely no way this is a true statement

Indeed.

Also feels great knowing they traded one of there very few good young defensive backs today for a depth o-linemen and a pick

Define "real deal"

Like a Kirk Cousins?

That's fair.

And perpetual mediocrity is what they would have had if they hung onto Bradford.

I actually didnt hate Chip Kelly and thought he should have another year...but if you have a plan, go for it. The trades to get where they have gotten have been masterful. They get back into the first round next year to get weapons for Wentz (t-shirts?) Waiting another year to get their QB is a giant risk...trying to spend a year with Bradford is a risk. The value they got for him will be well worth it. That type of trade just isn't really heard of in the NFL

Same. I'm fine with what the Eagles are doing from a personnel perspective. I'm still not sold on the head coach. He has to prove to me that he doesn't have Andy Reid's game day coaching flaws, but still maintains the stuff what made (makes) Reid a good head coach.

I was kind of shocked when Chip was let go. I figured he'd get, at least, 1 more year of drafting and bringing his own players in. I figured, at worst, Chip would have had to fire his DC or something.

The whole situations made the Eagles look terrible. No well run organization would have that happen to them. It was a cluster(frank)

Can't wait until Wentz poops on the league

His parents are still working on the potty training.

Sorry, I thought Sanchez was starting, my bad.

Still, is this terrible division, I could see any team besides the Eagles taking it.

Mr Buttfumble couldn't beat out a kid who played one down in the NFL and a rookie. Oh and that one down, was a kneel down play.

Yes, precisely

lol, I guess we have different expectations for #2 overall.

Kirk Cousins poop on the league during the 2nd half last year so it's possible.

That's not true. Voracek said he was the best coach he's ever had.

Nope nope nope

Bradford for a 1st is basically Hextall trading AMac with 50% retained for a first...I love it
- YuenglingJagr

it's an awesome steal but now we have a massive gap and no 1st of our own just a small sting but we essentially got wentz for nothing now
