Sam Bradford, Philadelphia Eagle

[smeags]

The thing that baffles me about this now, is at some point Bradford and Condon to realize no teams need a starting QB. Every team either has a Veteran backup or drafted a young guy. So at this point just suck it up and play.

exactly. and I get where Bradford is coming from but he's in a no win situation. condon failed him all along this process.

If reality was a concern for either of them they wouldn't have uttered a peep.  Bradford is lucky to have gotten the deal he received.  It's not like he didn't have an opportunity to test the waters.  He's a spoiled brat.   Let him farging rot.

if he has no leverage and doesn't want to be with the team then theres absolutely no reason to return until he starts losing checks...this doesn't start to become a story until june 7...snd not fully until he doesn't show up to camp

I'm sure it's a big deal for his teammates who are there busting their asses while he's tipping cows back in MA. 

[Diomedes]

I rather doubt that.  This isn't the county permits department.

but no one is doing anything right now much less busting their asses...now if they are out there sweating in june and hes not there then perhaps there might be a guy or two who is salty...which is why I say this isn't a story until hes not there june 7 and has no reason to be anywhere until june 7

in the end i dont think the other players will ever be an issue....he will be back and will be starting week one and all will be fine in the lockeroom...the fans and media are the ones who are going to remember all this

[General_Failure]

We'll remember it as some bullshtein that happened when the team sucked, if we remember it at all.

I've seen instances of cognitive dissonance before but wow that's a beauty.

Truly impressive.

I read speculation that Bradford will retire rather than come back now, which I thought was ridiculous until I remembered the story that he contemplated retirement last time he rehabbing his acl, because it hurt to much. It would save the team a lot of cap space and '16 is a throw away year anyway. I'd rather see them be able to get some compensation back, though. All this does go to show what a terrible idea it was when the NFL used to give top draft picks $50 million before they took a snap (or had a snap, as the case may be).

[SD]

That speculation is all Reuben Frank. I can't see the guy retiring. At the end of the day I think he sucks it up and plays for the Birds this season. Frank said this is all Sam and not Condon, that he's just representing his clients wishes.

I don't question the guys talent, but now I know why they're moving on from him. He's not driven like a QB should be. He's not an alpha male or a leader.

roob is a dope

and yeah hes not retiring

also  he didn't contemplate retirement previously  because his rehab hurt...he contemplated it out of frustration and disbelief over injuring his knee immediately after returning from his first knee injury...players who have multiple major injuries often go thru this stage....he hadn't even started rehab yet

[MDS]

id trust roob with restaurant recommendations in south jersey, and thats about it

barwin has been making the rounds today saying sam will be in anyway, so...move on to other things, philadelphia
