2015 Draft Prep: Wide Receiver

dbgThe Philadelphia Eagles are in need of a wide receiver.  I’m not pleased by any means that the team is in this situation.  Being forced to target a wide receiver in the early rounds because the decision was made to not retain Maclin or add his replacement via trade or free agency is bothersome.

Chip is confident that the wide receiver draft class is one of the deepest positon groups in the 2015 draft; that he can find a guy who can help the Eagles win football games.

I don’t agree with Chip or many of the experts who believe this is a deep receiver class in terms of talent.  “Kelly” type guys aren’t as plentiful as one would like with the need to find an “impact” receiver.

There is a need to find a wide receiver that can play right away and keep Riley Cooper as the fourth guy on the depth chart.  Most want the Eagles to add a player who can stretch the field.

Matthews is not going to be that guy, and Huff I would classify as being quick and elusive once in possession of the football, and not “elite” when it comes to speed.

Few receivers have that “speed” to stretch the field and also measure in at six foot and 200 pounds in this draft.

If Chip is going to stick to this prototype receiver, he is going to be very limited with his selection process.

What the Dolphins and Vikings accomplished by adding a veteran wide receiver so they weren’t in a “desperate” position to draft one early in the draft was something the Eagles could and possibly still might do.

This could allow the Eagles to still add a wide receiver in the draft but reduce the probability of reaching for one.

Two names that come to mind, guys who have the size, are young and with the change in head coach last season, found themselves dropping on the depth chart.

Cordarrelle Patterson of the Vikings and Justin Hunter of the Titans are two players that could be an immediate impact for the Eagles.  Patterson would be my guy, and with the trade the Vikings made for Mike Wallace, it would appear head coach Mike Zimmer believes Patterson is still very “raw” at the receiver position, and prefers to go with a guy who has an established NFL resume.  I’d gladly take Hunter as well, gambling on the flashes he has shown in his first two seasons.   A change of scenery and a more high-tempo style of offense could be just what he needs to prove why he was drafted so high in the second round of the 2013 draft.

If Chip doesn’t add a veteran wide receiver either by trade or with the few “so-so” names still left in free agency, he will turn to the draft for talent.

With the urgency to add a wide receiver, I’m projecting the guys in the first four rounds of the NFL draft.  Sure, there is a chance a guy taken in round five or six could help the Eagles, but there is no way Chip is going to wait until then to grab a player like Austin Hill (ARI) or Dres Anderson (UTAH) as the first receiver selected by the Eagles in the 2015 draft.

Who is the guy that is going to compliment Huff and Matthews?

Round 1– The obvious top 3, Cooper, White, Parker, gone, gone, gone by the time Eagles pick at #20.

Jaelen Strong (Arizona State)-I think has a 50:50 shot he is there when the Eagles pick.  There are some who really like his game and would welcome a homecoming to the Philly native.  I think Strong does some nice things with body control and able to shrug off defenders in small catch windows.  I would understand filling a position of need by taking Strong, but would not be overly excited with this selection.

Breshad Perriman (UCF)-If people doubted whether he would go day 1, his ridiculous 40 time this week pretty much locks him up as first round selection.  He hasn’t played against the greatest of talent, but his athleticism and work ethic could be attractive to Chip.  I think his hands are suspect, but his “speed” and upside will lure a team in taking him early.   I wouldn’t be in favor of taking him at pick #20 in round one as he has similarities that remind me of Darrius Heyward-Bey.

Round 1/2

Dorial Green-Beckham (Oklahoma)-The guy is huge, but comes with some character issues.  He could very well reward a team that is able to look past this. I don’t expect Chip to be that coach.

Sammie Coates (Auburn)-I’ve seen him ranked anywhere from the first to the third round.  Personally I don’t see any “stand-out” skill-set that would make me want to draft him.

Round 2

Nelson Agholor (USC)-Less polished then Marqise Lee who came out of USC in 2014.  He is on the “skinny” side, has “nice” elements to his game, but nothing flashy.  He would be a good “value” pick when the Eagles select in the second round, but I’d rather him go to another team.

Rashad Greene (Florida State)-A little smaller then what Chip likes, not a blazer with his speed, more of a guy who needs the ball in his hands and can make guys miss once in the open field.  Similar to what I felt Josh Huff was coming out of Oregon.  I think Greene needs to be on a team with an established #1 and provide and complimentary role as a rookie.

Devin Smith (Ohio State)-If he puts on a few pounds he would measure in at the 6 foot/200 pound.  Smith has tremendous speed and would give whoever starts under center for the Eagles a serious deep threat option.  I would be alright with this selection, but I think Smith will be gone several spots before the Eagles pick in round 2.  I actually project Smith to have his name called day 1.

 

Round 2/3

Tyler Lockett (Kansas State) & Phillip Dorsett (Miami (Fla) both offer skill-sets that many teams covet, but I can’t see either landing in Philadelphia due to their size.

Round 3/4

Tre McBride (William & Mary)- Has the pedigree that Chip likes.  I could see McBride as a slot guy, moving Matthews to the outside opposite of Huff.  I think Eagle fans would be content with drafting a wide receiver in round three instead of reaching for a guy in the earlier rounds.

Chris Conley (Georgia)-Here is where I wished the Eagles still had two picks in the 4th round.  I would grade Conley as a late 3rd to early 4th by the time the draft gets underway.  I like his measurable, his speed and the competition he played against.  The negatives that scouts have listed I believe are fixable and coachable and not flaws that will limit him at the next level.

Darren Waller (Georgia Tech)-An absolute monster at 6’6” and close to 240 pounds.  If I’m going to get excited about a guy with size as a receiver, I want to see the former 2nd rounder Ertz taking on that role.  I don’t care for Waller at all.

Breakdown

I’m looking at round three to select McBride or Conley.  I’d also draft another receiver in round 5 to “hopefully” fill the void of Riley Cooper who I “hope” is released after this season.

-I don’t expect the Eagles to make a play for a guy like White or Cooper if they were to fall in round one.  I’m sorry to any fans of Parker, but due to the Louisville fall-out of Marcus Smith in round one last year, I’m passing on guys from Louisville in 2015.

Name to remember

Deandre Smelter (Georgia Tech)- He will likely go in round 7 but most think undrafted; but if not for an injury, he would certainly be a name talked about as a mid-round prospect.

Everyone has that one guy at each position you say to “watch out for,” so this is my wide-receiver.

There are a couple of big WR that are mid-late Round Prospects that I like

4/5th – Dezmin Lewis (Arkansas State 6-4 220lbs)
6th/7th – Jordan Taylor ( Rice 6-3 225lbs)
There’s a big target from UCLA whose name escapes me…

Jeff, IMO, if “The genius” doesn’t waste the entire draft trading up for Mariota, I believe Strong will be an Eagle. No chance Green-Beckham gets drafted by “The genius”, with his BS culture crap. Agholor & Smith would be good 2nd round pickups, & should be there, if we don’t trade that pick. Tre McBride is rising on a lot of boards. He might go as early as high as low 2nd round – high 3rd round. I’m hoping Trae Waynes falls to us, or we draft either Collins’s at 20, then we pick up Agholor, or Smith in the 2nd. We’ll see.

The receiver talk is nice but they need to draft offensive lineman early and often, so that means indeed they’ll be drafting receivers in the first and second round. Damn you Chip Kelly. I look for Jalen Strong to be the pick at 20.

Big, I have a good feeling, that they go big at CB, OL, & WR in this draft. I spoke to Baldy yesterday at Mt Laurel NFL Films. He believes Mariota is a smoke screen. He thinks Boykin, & Kendricks are goners on draft day. He said Chip wants bigger, versatile CB’s, & LB’s. He said he also heard a deal with Miami fell through, with Mathis + for Jordan +. This is a rebuild, with zero chance of a SB anytime soon.

The Eagles have not approached ILB Mychal Kendricks about an extension as he enters the final year of his rookie contract.
Kendricks is just 24 years old, has difference-making sideline-to-sideline ability and can really cover from the inside linebacker spot. But the Eagles didn’t like the way he rehabbed off a calf injury in 2014, and have since traded for Kiko Alonso and extended DeMeco Ryans. Now there’s speculation Kendricks could be part of a draft day trade, something we can’t rule out with hyper-aggressive Chip Kelly at the controls.

Amazing how the Eagles’ 2012 draft with Cox, Kendricks,Curry, Foles, Boykin, and Bryce Brown, one of the rare strong drafts that this team has produced in the last 15 years, could almost all be off the team within three years of their draft.

Foles and Brown have already been shown the door. Boykin is chomping at the bit to start, and he most likely walks once his deal is done. Ditto for Curry…writing on the wall is there for Kendricks too…Cox is the only piece of that strong class that has a chance to be an Eagle for more than four years, and even then we haven’t heard any extension talks between him and the team yet either.

All of them were Howie picks. Coincidence?

Not surprising at all when you think about it…the 2012 draft wasn’t done for Chip Kelly…Curry, for example is a 4-3 end and not a natural fit for a 3-4.
The reality is that we drastically inflate the value of these players…the only player that Chip Kelly has gotten rid of with real high value was DJax.
We are not getting rid of Cox…the rest of those players are expendable…the 2012 draft yielded some nice players but only one real All-Pro level talent-Cox-the rest are average to marginal and nothing to lose sleep over!

This is reminding me of Joe Kuharchek.

And for those of you that are optomists… after Kuharchek the eagles went about 15 years before Vermeil got here…

So what exactly did we have with all of the young and exciting talent that Chip Kelly has dumped?

There is not a player on this roster who should feel comfy, safe, and secure…none of them have won anything

I dont know if all of Chip Kelly’s moves are going to be successful and I have been critical of Chip…but the shake up is needed-badly! Chip recognizes that what he has is not good enough…these great players everyone is moaning about haven’t made plays in clutch periods of games, the defense dont make clutch stops…we have gotten rid of average to below average players at best and replaced them with average to above average players

C’mon Big…the moves make a lot of football sense to me. Tough Football Decisions had to be made…and Chip instead of punting has taken the bull by the horn and made some calls and taken some risks.

The risks makes good football sense and dont hamstring us for the future at all. Bradford is a one-year deal. His salary doesn’t prevent us from making moves. If he stays healthy he’s a major upgrade at the QB position over Foles…

We all agreed that the defense needed an upgrade-we have upgraded the secondary

You have weakened the Cowboys and got two good running backs in Murray and Matthews.

The only significant loss is Shady…everyone else including Maclin is replaceable or not that significant of a loss. How long were we going to watch Trent Cole fade in the fourth quarter? The Reid’s and Howie’s guys we have gotten rid of are simply not good enough to win big games for us..

Again…I have asked over and over….what would you do so significantly different?

This Team and Franchise has been slightly above Average 8-9-10 Wins
with no real legitimate shot at a Deep Playoff Run which is something I have stated for about 4-5 Years now…
McNabb/Coach Ar were never the same after those Back to Back BLowout Loses to the Cowboys to end the 2009 Season.. It was over then and McNabb & Reid had run their Course
Kolb,Vick were simply mediocre and non-Winners,
Foles has Potential but is not a good fit in Kelly’s Fast Paced Scheme
he just isn’t athletic enough to have that Run Element to keep Defense’s honest and neither does Bradford, Sanchez or Barkley so who knows how Chip will alter his Offense with basically a non-running threat at QB

Eagles will likely take a step back in 2015 Season with a tougher Schedule and an improved NFC East Division…

Biggest Concern in my opinion is that I don’t see a big difference between
Foles and Bradford at the QB position and if Bradford underperforms than it’s another Season lost with a QB who can’t fully run Kelly’s Schemes
Draft another QB in 2016 means another 2 Years of Grooming…

Kelly will be gone at the end of his 5 Year Contract would be my guess
and back to the College Game …

Paul – for someone who flip flops more than a politician, I am amazed that you are still convinced Chip will fail and return to college. You may be right, but Lurie is awfully loyal and I think will stick by Chip – even if he hits a few bumps. Personally, I think if he gets the right culture he has a real chance to have a magical season – maybe not this year, but certainly in the next three.

Chip has a 5 Year Contract and is now going into Year #3 already,
It’s going to take more than just a change of Culture to keep Chip Kelly around beyond his 5 Year Contract if he doesn’t get to the Playoffs and Win and Compete for Super Bowls…
I don’t believe we will ever see Owner Lurie being as Patient with any other Coach as he was with Andy Reid who was pretty much on Cruise Control for his last 5-6 Years as HC.. Those Days are over..
Kelly is earning Top $$$ and will get Years to Win a Super Bowl or at least make some deep, close runs to achieving this Goal..
If Not, he’s out…. First thing that Kelly should do is build the Eagles to Win the NFC East which means beating the Cowboys/Giants..

In that case he got rid of anvils, and replaced them with the same old anvils that are now broken. I don’t mind the players that Kelly decided to move on from, because I would have done most of them myself, and I would have done them a lot sooner like my first year as head coach, which would have made more sense. The problem I see is the players Kelly chose to replace those players with or those anvils.

The team has been mediocre since 2008…the last time they won a playoff game. Andy Reid was shot out…Vick couldn’t overcome the injury bug and Foles like Kevin Kolb was a flash in the pan, didn’t have the talent to make it happen.
The question is can Bradford stay healthy and what does he bring to the table that Foles just could not provide?
Bradford will hit open receivers that Foles consistently missed, he is a better and more accurate passer than Foles.
This is what the offense needs. Smarter, more intelligent QB play…protecting the ball…not leading the league in turnovers.
Bradford has a stronger more accurate arm than Foles and if he does the following we can win:

1. Stay Healthy- Something Foles had a lot of problems doing as well with his injuries coming from poor pocket awareness and holding the ball to long
2. Accuracy-being accurate with his throws so the receivers can run after the catch
3. Avoiding turnovers-both Foles and Sanchez struggled a great deal in this area
4. Making good, quick decisions. For all of the talk about Foles being physically slow-I have repeatedly stated that his biggest problem was that he is mentally slow at processing what the defense is doing. We repeatedly saw the results-holding the ball, throwing stupid passes off of his back foot, and missing wide open receivers and throwing the ball to covered receivers.

Kelly has put the team in position to improve, simply by getting rid of a QB that does not have the talent to be a franchise QB.

2005 6-10 A complete disaster one of McNabb’s worst season’s the beginning of the end for a once dominant eagle football team.

2006 10-6 After coming out 4-1 and then falling to 5-6 it took a unbelievable effort by Jeff Garcia to save our season.

2007 8-8 Another disaster highlight of that season McNabb getting sacked 12 times in one game will never forget that lol.

I don’t know how you can look at 2008 as the ultimate turning point for the Eagles downslide when you can clearly see that 3 season’s before. By 2008 I was done with Reid and McNabb, and knew it was over. They also stunk that 2008 season up too. It took a tie to a miserable Ryan Fitzpatrick led Bengals to ultimately save that season other than that it was another shitty season to add to the many they had before that one.

Bradford was a huge gamble a gamble I don’t think many teams in the NFL would risk. The Eagles bailed out the Rams who I believe were going to release him anyway. You are wrong Paulman the Eagles haven’t been the same since the loss in the superbowl to the New England Patriots. Because it’s after that loss is when you see the Eagles fighting for their lives just to play 500 football. The 2009 season was probably their most consistent since that superbowl loss, regardless of their back to back blowouts by the Cowboys, and they also had an easy schedule that year.

Bradford is a huge but very smart gamble. The reality is that we had two inept, turnover prone backup QB’s in Foles and Sanchez!

We could have stayed the course and our situation is still jacked….we dont have a starting QB.

We got rid of the worst from amongst those two in dumping Foles, and now we got legitimate talent at the QB position. If Bradford plays well the gamble is worth it…if it doesn’t we get rid of him and have to get another QB next year.

However, that’s the situation we were in anyway..

Vinniedaloser, both Foles and Sanchez sucks ass

They both suck

Neither one of them are starting QB’s for a team with Super Bowl or even playoff aspirations

They are at best backups who will be exposed the more they play

However, the coach who has seen both of them in practices, pre-season and during the regular season obviously has a higher regard for Sanchez than Nick Foles.

Chip Kelly obviously thinks Sanchez is a better QB than Nick Foles

One guy got a new deal and the other guy was dumped

I dont like Foles or Sanchez

Kelly re-signed Sanchez and sent Foles to St Louis because he couldn’t get an old used jockstrap from the Rams for Sanchez.

And it’s only Bradford’s potential, and Kelly’s opinion that makes him better than Foles or Sanchez… Both those guys have far out-performed Bradford.

Shattered Dreams!

I understand Irish…

Bradford’s potential and Kelly’s “opinion”

The opinion of Foles coach…who calls the plays, knows each of the plays Foles should have executed. The same coach who seen him in practices, games, training camp, OTA’s…

I think that “opinion” carries a lot of weight.

Kelly made it clear…he was tired of seeing wide open receivers and the QB failing miserably to get the ball to the receivers. He remembers all the points left on the board in the playoff game because Foles failed to connect with a wide open DJax running free in the New Orleans secondary while Foles was confused by the zone defense.
Its clear that the Coach thought Foles play was worst than Sanchez. And we all freely acknowledge-Sanchez sucks…

The Coach with the eye-in-the-sky….looking at the film…saw a Foles that sucked even more than Sanchez.
The Coach was happy to get rid of Foles so much that he sweeten the deal with a second round pick…because the next step for Foles was to send the Turk to see him and tell him to turn in his playbook!

I understand Irish…the Foles crew are still bitter and hurt…and ya’ll hate Chp Kelly…its all over for you!

Back on the Sanchez is better bandwagon once again! You can;t help yourself!

Chip Kelly QB decisions (5)

1 – Draft Barkley – wrong
2 – Start Vick over Foles – wrong
3 – Sign Sanchez – wrong
4 – Sign Sanchez for even more – unbelievably, inexplicably wrong
5 – Trade Foles and a 2nd for Bradford…..

Jury is our on the last one….but the previous 4 were all wrong….so my faith is Kelly’s ability to “do the right thing” at QB is questionable at best.

Glad to see you have undying faith though Kooltwit.

Its good to have faith.

You have faith in your MV7 poster, your ability to get the sheets dried before mom comes home, and to hit those fry timers at jusssst the right intervals to ensure a nice crispy brown frite like the McD manual suggests….and you have faith in this decision too….good for you!

I think Vinnie, who wanted a pocket passer, came a lot closer to getting what he wanted. Guys like you and Songs got screwed yet again when Kelly hired another statue…..

And BTW, all the eye-in-the-sky has seen of Bradford is him standing on the sideline since Kelly has been in Oregon.

Irish Eagle, your problem is that you never actually read all of what I stated and you simply imposed your own stereotypical projections and thoughts on my words.

So now…you foolishly reduce my criticisms of Nick Foles too…he was not a mobile QB…

Bullshit! Check the record…I have been very specific about what I dont like about Nick Foles…and his lack of mobility is at the end of the list…

Again..Check the archives-Irish!

Tom Brady, Peyton Manning are immobile QB’s that I would take so fast your head would spend…and like I have said repeatedly…Foles is no Tom Brady or Peyton Manning…he is not nor as he ever been a quick thinking, strong decision making QB.
Yes I like mobile QB’s especially if the Coach is going to emphasize the ‘read-option’…However, Kelly tailors the offense to the abilities of the QB and if you are not that mobile you have as a strength the ability to make quick decisions, anticipation, and decipher defenses I have always liked QB’s like Tom Brady…that can do that.
My problem with Foles was not reduced to the simple notion that he was an immobile, slow ass QB…but that he was immobile AND..(as I stated over and over and over again…) SLOW mentally-poor at reading defenses, holding the ball too long, making bad decisions. Most of Foles sacks come because he’s holding the ball to long, unable to process and anticipate when receivers are coming open, unable to see the field properly-check the archives for the amount of times I have stated that Foles main problem is that he is MENTALLY slow.
So Irish…getting rid of Foles constitutes a great victory for me…Vinniedaloser was stuck on Foles and would rattle off his stats, his ‘wins’…while I insisted that the Eagles would never win with him…that he is not good enough…

Stop trying to shift the argument…Stop trying to deny the obvious about my repeated statements about Nick Foles…

Yes, it is a resounding victory for me, Songs, and others who wanted Foles out over you, Vinnie, desert/regal and others who wanted to keep Nick Foles…

However, more importantly it was a resounding victory for all true Eagle fans…we now have a chance to win without the anvil that was weighing us down and holding us back…

The Eagles fans have won because we now have a chance to win by geting rid of Nick Foles

C’mon gmcliff….you have to assess QB’s in systems. It’s very rare that a read-option QB can play in a classic, pocket passing based offense. Thus it’s no surprise that Manziel is struggling in Cleveland. He is better suited to what Chip Kelly is trying to do.
Let’s face it…Foles does not fit this offense. You can’t run a read option offense with a slow footed QB… It doesn’t work on the NFL level.
If you are going to keep Foles adjust the offense, get a fullback to help block, get some physical offensive linemen, run from the I-formation and do a lot of play action passes where your fullback can help block and Foles can check down or go to the tight ends more..
If Chip is unwilling to adjust the offense and get rid of the read option stuff….he has to get the QB that fits his system. A QB with speed, a strong arm, and can make good quick decisions.

I didnt say 2008 was some great turning point. Its simply the last time the Eagles won a playoff game. For all of the moans and gripes about McNabb, he was the best and most successful Eagles QB ever.

He has won more playoff games than any other Eagle QB!

The reality is that we would have taken a much bigger gamble in hoping and praying that Nick Foles would magically transform into a franchise QB. We took a gamble that we have to take!
The bigger gamble would have been to try and stick it out with Nick Foles who no one but the Rams wanted…and its being said that they may draft Mariota and use Foles as a stop-gap !
Chip Kelly has taken a bold step to upgrade the team…it is a gamble, there is risk, it might not work out…but what Chip Kelly has done beats the alternative…do nothing, stand pat….and stink even worse

FIRST OF ALL BASED ON THE CURRENT COMPOSITION OF THE TEAM OFFENSIVE LINEMEN SHOULD BE THE FIRST ROUND PRIORITY NOT WRS. Regardless of the mess Chip Kelly has created, not reinforcing the O-Line with fresh young talent that also won’t be easily susceptible to suspension from random drug screenings is as foolish as trading the whole draft board for Mariota. Herremans is gone, Mathis is pretty sure to be gone probably whether can win a spot on the team or not (once the rumor is out there it’s just a matter of time) Johnson the steroid freak is a ticking time bomb waiting to go off on a drug screening and Peters is almost due a major injury. The O-line was essentially in a state of disrepair before Chipper decided to blow-up the offensive skill position groups, as evidenced by Foles’ broken collarbone. I look back and in retrospect firing Andy Reid specifically for Chip Kelly was a GARGANTUAN ERROR ON JEFF LURIE’S PART.

He is no where near as accurate a passer as Flacco
His arm is far weaker than Flacco
He doesn’t have the pocket awareness of Flacco
Foles game is no where close to Flacco.

Koolidiot was 1 for 10 going into today, and now stands at about 1 for 14.

“He is not as smart as Flacco…”
Foles Wonderlick 29.6 Flacco wonderlic 27

“He is no where near as accurate a passer as Flacco”
Foles college 67% Flacco college 63%
Foles 1st 3 seasons 60.5% Flacco 1st 3 seasons 62%

“His arm is far weaker than Flacco”
Nick Foles ay/a 7.6
Flacco ay/a 7.2

“He doesn’t have the pocket awareness of Flacco”
Foles sack % 6
Flacco sack % 6.2 (he was well into the 7s his first 3 years)

I mean, you could at least try to make it difficult to contradict your pathetic always wrong statements Koolidiot.

You also forgot to mention that through his first 5 playoff games, Flacco was UNDER 50% with 1 tds to 6 ints .

He was absolutely pathetic through those first 5 playoff games….with that D they could have perhaps won another SB had he not been so goddamn awful. He single handedly lost the playoff games in 2008 and 9 throwing 40% with 0 tds and 5 interceptions in those games the D managed to hold the opponents (despite getting the ball over and over from Flacco to 20 and 23 points.

Down two points against the Steelers, Flacco threw a pick 6 to seal the loss.

They lost those games precisely because of Flacco’s complete ineptitude.

Now did you leave that out on purpose? Personally, I think its because you were only 6 years old in 2008 and so missed out on his blundering.

Flacco started pulling things together in his 4th and 5th seasons you complete putz.

Good teams have long term vision and allow players to develop. Had you been running the Ravens, The ravens would not have their latest SB as you would have traded Flacco and a 2nd for Mike Vick!!!!!!!

Oh, and I made a mistake…I thought you were 1-14 on statements this month, but Irish correctly poins out your continual “Kelly neads a running QB to run his offence….”bit…

We know Baltimore is committed to Flacco has their franchise QB…they have won playoff games and a Super Bowl with this guy…We know Flacco will go down in Ravens history as a QB that led them to the Super Bowl and delivered!

What’s Foles legacy here…no playoff wins no new contract, the team shopped him around and found that he had very little trade value, drew very little interest because Foles is known around the league as a guy with no upside, slow-mentally and physically…a flash in the pan…Foles name will go down with Kevin Kolb, Bobby Hoyer…guys who flashed and then fizzled badly.

The fact of the matter is, putz, that the Joe Flacco you seem to love so much (as if) stunk for his first 3 years.

His nickname was “Fluke-o” because the team won games despite his complete ineptitude.

He set an NFL record to start a career with 19 games with a QBR under 20!

If you had been GM you would have traded him and 2 firsts for Mike Vick.

He was headed down bust lane, everyone hated him….all you heard/read was the same shill you continually post.

“Flacco is nothing more than a game manager”

“Flacco is, in fact, the NFL’s best argument against quarterback wins as a statistic.”

“Joe Flacco shows us why he still sucks”


Of course, this isn’t breaking news for anybody who has watched Joe Flacco struggle worse than Ashton Kutcher on the big screen on the road this year. Flacco has played three games away from the City of Syphilis, and he hasn’t had a QB rating over 66.8 in any of them (2 TD, 4 INT, 55.9 rating).”

“And his rating of 84.0 this year is good for 20th in the league, meaning Jake Locker, Christian Ponder, Kevin Kolb, and Carson Palmer all have better ratings than him.”

“Joe Flacco Is The NFL’s Least Accurate Quarterback On Deep Passes”

“Joe Flacco’s accuracy percentage on deep balls is 22.6%, worst in the league”

“No more run-back kicks to bail him out when he disappears in nationally-televised games; no more underthrown ducks turned into gold.”

“The Myth of Joe Flacco” (written especially for you I suppose!”

Even his own teammate!
Ed Reed 2012
“They had a lot of guys in the box on him and they were giving [the pass] to him,” Reed said. “I think a couple of times he needed to get rid of the ball. It just didn’t look like he had a hold on the offense.”

“”didn’t look like he had a hold on the offense,”

“looked rattled a little bit”

Flacco was a bad QB for three years….and in the playoffs, Flacco was completely abysmal for his first 5-6 games.

You did not see this because you were 6….but trust me, everyone but everyone was questioning Flacco from 2010-2012.

Anyway…on and on….basically take anything and everything you say about Foles, and it was being said about Flacco.

But the Ravens had patience let him work through his struggles. You know nothing about this concept.

I’m not comparing Foles to Flacco now, no matter how much you try to spin it. Comparing the two now would be idiotic….but the fact remains Foles has been a better QB over his first 3 years than Flacco was….and yes….it was wrong to switch him out….especially for a lateral move (at best) to Bradford.

He knows the plays that Foles was supposed to execute, where he was supposed to go with the ball.

Sad, pathetic..

The Foles crew led by lame ass Vinniedaloser simply cant accept reality

Foles is gone…he done, finished

They now have turned on the Eagles

Predictions of gloom and doom

They now hate Chip Kelly

They hate the front office

All because Chip got rid of their golden boy, Nick Foles

Vinnie take ya ass to St Louis…we know that’s where your heart is now…

with Nick Foles and the Rams…lol..

But what will you do when they bench him and then cut him?

Your ass out Vinnie…it’s over…its all over for you!

It is comical reading koolbreeze’s post… I think he truly believes that some people had the same feelings for Nick Foles as he had for Mike Vick.

Sorry to burst your bubble koolbreeze but I have been an Eagles season ticket holder for nearly two decades, I don’t care if Nick Foles ever plays another game in the NFL. The second Foles was traded he became irrelevant in my mind.

Unlike you, I don’t carry a torch for any player…
