2015-16 College/Draft Talk

[Wings]

Some of you guys should try watching a niners game so you'll stop thinking the shittiest QB in the entire league should be our quarterback. Do you hate the Eagles? Do you want to watch them suffer?

Maybe you should try opening your eyes....Sam Bradford was a #1 overall pick yet his Qb rating up until this past week was below Kaepernicks. Kaepernick looked very good when he actually had an offensive minded coach that worked with Qb's. It's no coincidence once Harbaugh checked out, so did kaepernick. Kaepernick can run Chips offense, he has a cannon for an arm, and he throws far less int's than Sam bradford.

 

[old duke]

Exactly. He is the forerunner to Mariota. I said to many 2 years ago, that Chip's QB was still at Oregon. I think that Kap is stronger than Marcus. Marcus is perhaps more gifted, but Kap is not far behind. If Chip does go after Kap, I believe that Shurmur and Chip can get him back on track. I am unsure how good Day is as a NFL QB coach. Time will tell. I hope that he is not just another Goomba(?) of Chip from the past.

 

[eaglesnut]

Pfffffft. Kaepernick came from a gimmick offense, never learned how to play in the league so he ran around a bunch, defenses saw what he was about and he has been shit since.

 

[old duke]

I think Chip and Shurmur can straighten him out. If they agree with you, then they will pass, and we'll look for a draftee next draft to be the QB in waiting.

 

[Iggloo]

Well Bradford sucks so saying Kaepernick had a higher rating is kind of like saying that a Ford Escort is better than a Yugo.

Love me some Christian McCaffrey ... now there's a RB who fits our system to a T.

Me too and also the CB from FLorida Hargaraves. SOme good players on defense at UF.

 

[old duke]

McCaffrey is a sophomore, so I guess he won't be eligible for the Draft in 2016. Too bad. He looks like the kind of player Belichick would draft. He loves athletes that he can meld into his system. Wow! What a game he had last night! Sounds like he is also a "All America" person besides a great player.

I revisited the 2010 Eagles draft, and got really ticked off at the Reid-Banner terrible picks. This has to be the worst that I can remember. We had 13 picks, I believe. We only came away with Graham and Cooper. Graham is a good player, but we should have drafted Earl Thomas, of course. Reid traded up, and picked Graham. Then he picked Nate Allen in the 2nd to make up for ignoring Thomas. After that, he got Daniel Te'o (whatever that means) Nesheim; Trevard Lindley; Keenan Clayton; Clay Harbor; Ricky Sapp; and Riley Cooper. These were his best picks.

What got me checking up on this is the article on Antonio Brown (probably the best WR in the NFL) in ESPN Magazine today. All the Eagles' picks listed above were picked before Antonio, who was the 195th pick in that draft. Somehow I think he's a little better than Cooper. LOL. Good scouting, Eagles!

 

[mall3013]

Holy hell I keep dreaming having Fletcher Cox and Joey Bosa on the DL..OMG what a dream. Anyway, I would love to keep adding depth on the defense both line and DBs. OL will be the bigger need. A new DC would be a nice addition as well.

 

[old duke]

We're not getting a new DC...just yet. Davis had a good scheme today. The D came through just fine. We'll see how the rest of the season goes, but as long as Chip is here, i think Davis stays.

 

[Iron Eagle]

Considering how our draft fortunes are turning, I want Cardale Jones in this offense.

To do what exactly? TE.. FB.. QB who can throw a mile, but struggles reading defenses? I'm the biggest Buckeye fan here and I just don't see CJ a fit here. Brax on the other hand, I'm on board.

I'd like to think it's something he can learn while on the bench for a year or two.

I kinda forgot about Miller since he switched positions. Does he plan on being a QB at the next level?

No.. However, he could be that Percy Harvin type player that the Eagles could use in Chip's offense. His speed is ideal. Not to mention, he fits the culture Chip wants.

I see a lot of Buckeyes on this list OD! It's time to reload in Columbus.

Well, you may be correct, Bucknut!

 

[mall3013]

Well, you may be correct, Bucknut!

Have a safe and wonderful holiday.

 

[old duke]

Sorry guys, but I screwed up the list. I'll re-do it later.
