No more sooners in philly please!

No more sooners in philly please!

How many games will Sam and Demarco play in together? Someone set the O/U, 6 maybe?

Now their starting quarterback and RB can both be injured all the time. Perfect pairing.

BOOM!

And the rest of the league trembles in fear.

Well, that is a great signing. Two reasons. One they get a very good quality back and they make the Cowboys a little worse.

If Bradford can stay healthy, they have something. Then again Bradford has not really shown much in the NFL. His rookie season was very over hyped.

Two completely reconstructed knees and a shoulder that dislocates when he sneezes.

They have improved their defense, at least theoretically. We will see. They are starting to look better than the 49ers right now with that signing.

Opens the door for an AP to Dallas trade.

At what? Your backup QB/Runningback?

 

[TDs3nOut]

I'm reserving judgement on anything other than that Kelly is presiding over perhaps the most intriguing offseason in NFL history.

Murray, you are dead to me... DEAD!

LOL, please. You'll be lucky to get 10 games out of Murray. Murray has played 1 full season of football since his Sr. year in high school, I repeat 1 FULL SEASON OF FOOTBALL SINCE HIS SR YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL. Hell, he would have missed 3-4 games last year with his broken hand if it wasn't his contract year. Philly traded away a better RB in Shady. Bradford and Murray should look good together injured all the time.....Chip Kelly will be coaching high school ball in 2 years for setting back the Eagles 10 years....

Improved biggest weakness (CB) - check, check
Improved second biggest weakness (LB) - check
Got the power/vertical back he wanted - check
Got a franchise QB - maybe....who knows.... 1 year risk which helped secure Murray
Saved Money - check
Kept 1st Round draft pick - check
Weakened rival - check



It reminds me of College Boy Pete Carroll getting blasted for letting all the Seahawks walk and make ultra-aggressive moves that nobody understood. Carroll was blasted as being a "college" guy who did not understand the NFL.

I wouldn't be sure about all that, but there is plenty of time left for it all to play out

certainly at this time

I think you make some good points. I'm not clear about your "saved money" claim, however. Don't the Eagles take a big cap hit in the Bradford for Foles trade?

You are taking this all too seriously. Just light up a doobie and relax.
