Can the Eagles win with Sanchez?

[Green Head]

IMO, the Eagles had a really good draft, but truth be told, who is the starting QB? I am assuming that Sanchez will somewhere along the line take the reins again if not being the starter on the first game of the season. There are so many if's with Bradford to even think that he is going to be the guy. So my question, can Sanchez lead this team to a Super Bowl given an improved Defense and superior running game??

 

[old duke]

No, but he can fill-in for a short time, and manage a game.

Sure they can win with Sanchez, so long as they minimize his opportunities to fuck it up. Run the ball well and play good D, and you can win with an average QB.

 

[Green Head]

Just a thought, how would Rivers fit in the Eagles system? Last year of his contract, anybody think that the Eagles could be eying Rivers next season or even some crazy trade this year? Again just a thought!!

 

[Funk]

Rivers would destroy here imo. We'd make the playoffs easily.

 

[deerpathdave]

This team can win with either QB.

I agree. Look at Trent Dilfer and a couple of others during the late 80s. Very good defense and minimizing turnovers can get you pretty far.

In my opinion they can win some regular season games with Sanchez, and probably will have to because I suspect Bradford will not be healthy for at least some of this season.

But Sanchez is not a good starter. We saw that last season. This team still lacks a QB and will not be any good until it finds one.

 

[Wings]

You put Rivers on this team and we are scaring the shit out of teams!

 

[deerpathdave]

You put one of the top 5 Offensive lines, with A RB rotation of Murray, Matthews and Sproles, lineup a set of offensive skill players that include Matthews, Agoholor, Austin, Cooper, Ertz, Huff and Celek. Then you run a no huddle system with about 8 seconds between plays, and have two QBs on your roster both of whom were top 5 picks, one of them first overall, both with several years experience and in the prime of their careers.

This is a dream offense with all the tools, protection, scheme and weapons. These QBs are both very capable, and I discount their previous record and statistics as being almost immaterial. This offense, the protection and weapons available are incomparable to what either of them had previously. I don't think you can rule out either one of these QBs being capable of taking this offense all the way.

Sanchez will lose games that we should win. I have zero confidence in his leadership. Quite simply
he is a choke artist. Last but not least he is overpaid as well!

Bradford is going to surprise many people.

 

[Psych-Ward]

Not trying to troll or anything, but I'm still wondering why they let Nick Foles go for Bradford....

I think the rams got the better deal on that, but Foles will probably end up a statistic on the Rams... that kid is going to get used to seeing the St Louis skyline and see it often.

 

[WIZ]

Because Braford the Heisman/NFL O ROY will be much better than Foles was in this O. Quicker release and better short-mid game.

Well Kelly will never admit it but I believe he was down on Foles and seriously considering going with Sanchez this year. He thinks Bradford has more potential. Worst case he ends up with Sanchez who likely would have started anyways. It was really time for both foles and Bradford to switch teams.

To be fair, let's give Bradford a season with the playmakers that the Eagles have. He did not have playmakers or a good OL to protect him. Obviously he has to be healthy first.
As far as Foles, everybody knew he wouldn't repeat his similar stats from the season previous. He struggled with his mechanics, which led ro a few turnovers. I won't judge until I see Bradford play. If I had to bet, my money is on Bradford being the better of the deal. He will be in a more comfortable position in Chip's system.

But Foles played only 3 seasons in Philly and not one of them was a complete season, so how does that make it time for him to switch teams???

And honestly after seeing some of the things Kelly has done it is clear no one knows what he is thinking but Chip Kelly...LOL

But Bradford with his ACL problems is going to become a bigger problem....
I think Foles was given up on way to soon, He did good for A.R. and did decent to start for Chip, but then Chip started to change the offence on him and I don't think he really adjusted to it, not to meation it was only one bad season. If, or should I say when Bradford goes down, Sanchez is not the answer to anything.

And yes the Eagles have a better line to protect Bradford, but the NFC East is a lot harder hitting than the NFC West.

Hmm... Not so sure about that. SF has some bruisers and that NFC West has some dominant defenses. The NFC East doesn't play defense. That is why the division is desparately drafting defense for the most part. We shall see. Maybe I'm just being too postimistic.

NFC West has the 9ers and the Seahawks who are big bruisers....
NFC East has the Boys, Giants, Skins, and Eagles.... the skins and the giants are struggling for the most part on offense more than D.... IDK, just my observation...but more times than not the NFC East has 4 teams going after the division title.... you have never seen that in the NFC West
