Eagles trade Foles for Bradford

[Mt. Crushmore]

Rams pull off another great deal trading a QB (RG3 before)

I feel that the Rams got away with robbery, got more than what they should've gotten.

It's quite ridiculous how often Bradford gets injured.  I've never known whether or not to really label him injury prone or not.  My definition of injury prone has always been a guy that consistently misses practice and/or games with short term injuries.  I don't know whether or not to consider Bradford extremely unlucky because most of his injuries have been serious, long term types.  I think he's shown potential when healthy but that's been the difficult part.

I hate to say it, but Bradford is heading down the road of a bust. Guy just can't stay healthy. Hope he can turn it around but I don't think he's there long term guy.

The trade is very complicated, but from what I've read, it is as follows..

 

Rams receive 2015 4th round pick

Rams receive 2016 2nd round pick

Eagles receive 2015 5th round pick

 

Eagles will get back a 2016 3rd round pick if Bradford does not play at all, and a 4th round pick if he starts less than 50% of plays.

 

I just hope things work out for Sam, and also for the Eagles as a whole, friend - because if this goes down badly, then what Chip was thinking may just be called into question.

Another interesting Chip Kelly article, apparently he had Odell Beckham Jr. as his #1 player in the draft last year

I knew Joe Flacco would have 3 sons and also prophesied that Chris Borland would retire. Easy to say this stuff when hindsight is 20/20.

 

The progression of Chip Kelly statements on Beckham that I could find are "one of the top receivers in the draft" and "we were very high on him" in October 2014, to "the best [receiver] of the draft" as reported in December 2014, to now "number one overall".

 

What's legit and what's Chip Kelly posturing to pretend he's the smartest guy in the room? He drafted Marcus Smith who was originally projected to go in the mid rounds and didn't even record a statistic. Was a healthy scratch for half the year on an average defensive team.
