    I don't agree with the move. No Foles isn't playing great but I really don't think Keenum is going to do all that better. I don't understand why teams just give up on QB's so quickly. Flip floping QB's doesn't work! Ask the Browns, Jaguars, Titans etc.

    Totally agree with you. They should've at least let him play out the season then maybe make a change in the offseason.

    Foles sucks. Kind of ironic both Bradford and him go out the same week

    Any word yet on if/how long Bradford is out? I heard it's a concussion and shoulder sprain.

    Lol really? Every team in the nfl would take Bradford over Foles. The eagles were smart to get rid of Foles when they knew he was only a one year wonder. That's why they only got Bradford for him because other teams knew better than to give up someone worthwhile for Foles. Bradford has potential and is definitely a better franchise qb option than Foles.

    Wouldn't it be funny if RG3 ends up with the Rams next year. Heard it on the radio that it might happen.

    s--- dude, Edelman is one of my starting fantasy players. I didn't think his injury was that serious. Do you believe Amendola will produce similar numbers as Edelman and would be worth a pick up in fantasy football? Or you think Amendola wouldn't be worth picking up?

    That would be bad for the rams lol He probably wouldn't be much worse than Foles, however. Glad to see the skins doing a lot better with Cousins. I've been saying for 2 years that cousins is a lot better of a option for the skins. His numbers only keep growing; plus he's gaining chemistry with his team now.

    They gave up Foles and a 2nd round draft pick for Bradford. Not to mention he's injury prone. No way has Bradford proven worth that so far.

    I've watched them both thoroughly and I'd much rather have Foles. He's not a one year wonder. He was 14-4 as a starter for us. Had a 6-2 record last year before he got hurt. Foles stands strong in the pocket and is usually pretty accurate. Bradford has the worst pocket presence I've ever seen. He looks like a deer in the headlights, scared, confused. It's absolutely shocking when he actually throws for a 1st down. It's gonna be interesting to see what they do with the QB position this offseason. If Bradford doesn't improve and they bring him back I'm gonna be furious.

    Getting an MRI tomorrow. If I had to guess the Patriots game would be the earliest we see him play


    Edit: also Foles looked just as scared as Bradford last year. Not to mention his absolute noodle arm. If Bradford had D Jax and Maclin I'd bet this season would be a lot different. Also Mathis

    I believe Bradford proved himself better than Foles just from watching his gameplay when he's healthy. Let's not forget his very successful college career. You're right about him being injury prone, but it looks like it's only going to be a short time that he's out.

    Has Foles really done enough to show he has more potential than Bradford? Kelly was looking for a franchise qb to work with. He saw enough on Foles that showed him to only be a one year wonder.

    Disagreed. After Bradford played a few full games, he looks more professional in the pocket than Foles. He also seems to do better under pressure. Also, remember that Foles had better targets and had Lesean McCoy to take pressure off him as a qb. Imagine if Bradford had maclin to grow with and McCoy to fall back on or to throw for screens. The Eagles had a more solid team around them when Foles was in. Give Bradford this year and let him learn the system and give Kelly the offseason to find Bradford more targets. You will be happy about the Bradford move then.

    Forgot Foles also had Desean lol And this guys complaining about Bradford???

    I definitely agree Foles had a better team around him. Can't argue with that. Just imagine if we still had McCoy, Maclin, and Jackson. Smh. Chip Kelly got too cocky and thought he could plug any player into his system and make them successful. Wrong.

    I'm grateful for Chip Kelly. He literally came in and destroyed the Eagles franchise and hes not done yet.

    He ended up getting some decent backs so I guess giving up McCoy didn't hurt too much. Kelly should have held onto Maclin. Bradford would of had a better option leading to more success early on. He could rely on Maclin and depend on him more than the other wr's he has too.

    With you agreeing that Foles had a better team around him, does that not make you wonder if that made Foles look better than what he really was? I don't see how you can think Foles is a better option and wished he was back. Imagine if Bradford has those same teammates Foles did.

    Good point. Our receiving corps is by far the weakest link on our offense. Nelson Agholer, who was supposed to be Maclin's replacement, is a complete and total BUST so far. Jordan Matthews has fallen off after a great rookie year. Riley Cooper had one good year in 2013. He's borderline useless now. Other than that we have.. Miles Austin and Josh Huff? Pathetic. And it's a shame because we have great backs and tight ends, but NO receivers.
