    Tim Tebow will wear #11 for the Eagles apparently. No idea why. Pretty sure #15 is available. I'll be buying his jersey IF he makes the opening day roster.

    that's cool. i usually do nflshop.com. but it doesn't really matter because prices are the same everywhere. i LOVE jerseys. i have about 8 vikings jerseys. however, nowadays they're sooooo expensive that i'm cautious before i purchase one. i always try to buy a jersey of a player who i think will be on the team for a while....that's just me

    i want bridgewater to be my next jersey, but i've gotta see more for him before i drop 100-150 bucks

    Same here. I dropped $150 on a Riley Cooper jersey last year after he signed his contract. Not looking like the wisest investment right now lol. I still have like three Allen Iverson jerseys I bought in high school. First jersey I ever bought was Penny Hardaway about 20 years ago. Still have 2-3 Vick jerseys too.

    d--- Eagles have been involved in 50% of the offseason moves so far it seems.

    Sucks. I thought Polk was a great goaline back. I guess they figured Murray will be carrying the ball in those situations now. Plus they weren't going to keep four running backs.

    Hardy suspension could be reduced to 2-6 games. Also NFL came up with nothing with investigation on Dez's supposed Wallmart incident. Video doesn't exist.

    Read something interesting today.... As much as Foles struggled last year, he still posted the 13th best QBR in NFL last season with a 62.2 rating. That's slightly lower than Russel Wilson's QBR (62.4) and comfortably above Mark Sanchez's (58.2). Last time Sam Bradford played football (2013) he posted a 48 QBR.

    I can tell you comfortably we were never going to win a Super Bowl with Foles. Is the QB who can take us there on the roster right now? Idk, but I'm more comfortable with Chip making moves where he sees fit instead of sitting at mediocrity.

    You can tell me that comfortably after having him as your starter for not even a full 2 seasons? How? Eagles when relatively healthy last year were not a mediocre football team. You guys had a better shot at making a playoff run with Foles than you do with Sanchez,Barkley or Tebow. The jury is still out on Bradford, I think he has an upside but perhaps I was overrating him before because the numbers are pretty staggering.

    We got away with a ton of games last year that we should've lost, mostly when healthy. Foles is without a doubt better than those three, and like you said the jury is still out on Bradford. I for one am skeptical on Bradford, but watching Foles was so frustrating at times. He would hold on to the ball too long, and not throw it the correct way (lofting it, gunning it, etc.), and way too many turnovers (Yes I know 27 to 2 in 2013 but I think last years numbers are way closer to what Foles is) and I just don't think we would have ever won a championship with him. So like I said I trust Chip to go out and do his thing for now even though it is walking a thin line.

    Edit: Rooting for Foles to succeed in STL btw

    Just watch Foles highlights from the 27-2 season to last season. Completely different QB, he's back pedaling and not stepping into his throws at all

    I mean he was a 2nd year starter last year playing with a depleted O-Line that didn't get completely healthy until after he got injured and an RB who was going through a slump. It just seems like Kelly abandoned Foles before he could even get his feet settled with a completely healthy team. He wasn't given the chance to develop at all.

    Foles said before last season that he'd never be able to repeat what he did in 2013, I honestly don't think any QB will. Seeing Foles go through growing pains should of been expected, especially with the lack of support he had.
