I think Dirty would be better bc he would help open up the running game a bit more bc he can run the read option.

lol

j talks about sanchez as if hes never seen him play or that the guy doesnt have a long track record of awfulness in the league....its craziness

i get that sports talk radio fans always want the back up no matter what but jesus christ its marc fargin sanchez....not tyrod taylor or some shtein

[hunt]

not sure about j, but most of the bradford hate comes from the folks who seriously overrated foles.  and apparently, the next phase of foles separation anxiety is an unrealistic view on sanchez that completely ignores everything he's done in the league.   

[smeags]

my dislike for Bradford has to do with his play, what else does anyone need ?


but no, no sanchez please.

j overrates just about every current player on all his teams....thats why the bradford lunacy is so weird...maybe he doesnt consider him an eagle yet or something

It's possible to think Bradford Foles and Sanchez all suck.

absolutely...and folks like that aren't clamoring for sanchez...because they know he sucks.

a lot of people didnt like what they gave up for bradford and of course his health issues but i dont know many if any people who didnt like the idea of a healthy bradford over foles as the eagles qb

[Zanshin]

There's no universe where Sanchez is the answer, even philosophically. He's mediocre at very best and hurts you the most when you can least afford a mistake. Fact. Then layer onto that the fact that Chipster is paying Bradford $13 million this season, and invested a second round pick to acquire the guy. And the fact that it's possible he could actually play better as the season progresses as he really hasn't played for a few years. So to say that Bradford has a shteinload of rope would be an understatement. You can't bench the guy you're that invested in and who has some upside for a marginal player with no upside. It's not like there's a real answer on the team. And when there's no real answer, the coach will go with the option that will make him look least stupid.

[General_Failure]

So Chip's going to apologize and retire mid-season?

J hates injuns

That would be entertaining.

Pretty much this. I liked Foles a lot, but I don't think his ceiling is anywhere near as high as Bradford's...and I don't think that any rational human being would either.

And sometimes it's hard to remember that the guy hasn't played in 2 years, and before that he was only in his 3rd year. Not saying that I believe in Sam Bradford, but between the price the Eagles paid to get him and knowing exactly what you have on the depth chart behind him, you might as well ride him the entire season.

It's not like the Eagles resigned Sanchez in the offseason and told him that if the Bradford thing doesn't work out, he's going to be the franchise qb. If he had that kind of potential, the Eagles wouldn't have traded for Bradford in the first place.

yeah they signed sanchez to a fairly hefty back up deal purely because of bradfords knees....not cause they think hes the answer
