I'm done with ya.

I'm heart-broken, please comeback.

Chip is holding his own with these clowns.

Chip is obviously lying about the first being offered for Bradford. The Rams would have taken it and flipped lesser picks to the Eagles for Foles.

The question would be whether bradford is an improvement isn't it.

If he's injured, again, then it clearly isn't an improvement is it.

As I said, he's got talent. Whether he can ever remain healthy enough to show it is the $64 question. For a buck, but not much more, i might make that bet.

There's a lot of football people that think he is an improvement. That includes people that have worked with both QBs closely.

Foles could get injured too. In fact he did get injured often. It was my biggest concern with him. And it remains the biggest concern with Bradford.

Very talented. He can distribute the rock here. He can run the offense fast. He was even among the first to do it.

I don't disagree, but I can imagine some team thinking Chip was still after Mariota (like many here and everywhere thought) and thinking they might be able to get him. Also I imagine it wasn't a straight 1st, a flip of firsts probably, but Chip doesn't need to mention that part of it.

The dumbest thing he said was they wanted Maclin back. THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU FRANCHISE HIM! That annoys me, but he's going to make some mistakes. Hope is contingency plan is brilliant.

 

[WIZ]

Yeah probably 20 and Bradford for a higher pick

No he said we wanted him but they paid too much. He wanted him at $10M.

 

[Green Head]

eaglesnut apparently thinks Bradford is the answer.

Chip is holding a press conference right now and just said that they are not going after MM anymore, that he likes him a lot but they have concluded they cannot mortgage their future for him.

So there you have it: Chip is riding with Sam Bradford, a guy who didn't play last season at all and who has only played 7 games in the past two seasons. A happy-footed QB with major injury questions.

This will end well.

I am watching to and he making sense. The one thing I am gathering right now is Chip is claiming he has nothing to do what is going on. Jeff Lurie and Howie are calling the shots, not him. I am questioning that, but if that is true, he cannot be happy and will not be here long!

 

[Iggloo]

Remember, these guys lie. Jeff Fisher said a few weeks ago that reports they were considering trading Bradford were inaccurate. So I guess we all have to take his claim that Bradford is his guy and not a trade chip with a major grain of salt.

In other tidbits, Chip said he didn't have final say over the last two drafts--in other words, he said, "Don't blame me for Marcus Smith."

And he threw the Bills under the bus for leaking the Shady trade before he had a chance to call and tell Shady.

 

[WIZ]

He sounds like he's in charge and knows what he's doing.

 

[eaglesnut]

No he said we wanted him but they paid too much. He wanted him at $10M.

I missed that part of it. If he had more experience I don't think he would have blown it over just a million or 3.

 

[GritsandGravy]

Chip said he was offered a first today for Bradford

Doesn't that keep the Mariota speculation alive? Chip basically saying I've got a #1 in my pocket.

Seems responsible. I liked him a lot more at $10 million too.

 

[Green Head]

Because they would have had to pay $13million! I believe that was what DEZ got?

Sure. He can be happy with Sam or try to get Marcus. I'd rather Sam but I'm letting Chip roll with it a couple years. He'll be seriously successful or a total flop but he's doing it his way. After the last 30 years as a fan I'm buckled in.

Doesn't seem worth it when you're changing so many parts in the offense. Maclin already knows what to do, where to go, and he was productive. Now you've got to use potentially a draft pick resource to fill it.

 

[eaglesnut]

That's how much those guys are worth. Dez signed for about 13. Maclin signed for about 11.
