Our QB Situation

[ctc]

The 2013 year was clearly a banner year because the line stayed healthy and together all year. Again you want to compare apples and oranges. The 2015 versions of Mathis and Herremans don't measure up at all to the 2015 versions.

Now you're just making excuses for bradford and kelly. The record is what it is. You can offer all the reasons you want, it doesn't change anything. He hasn't made the throws, he hasn't made the decisions. And now he's not going to play.

Kelly's personnel calls have clearly not benefitted the team.

The bottom line is that our QBing hasn't improved and we lost a high draft pick. Neither Foles nor Bradford is a guy who will lead anyone to the promised land aside from a Trent Dilfer role.

Kelly's personnel calls have clearly not benefitted the team.

Byron Maxwell >> Carey Williams
Malcolm Jenkins >> whoever
Nate Thurmond >> Nate Allen
Jordan Hicks >> whoever
Brandon Graham >> Trent Cole (in 2015)
Darren Sproles >> any third RB
Zach Ertz >> whoever
Lane Johnson >> whoever
Every RG started > Herremans (in 2015)
Ryan Mathews >> just about any #2 back

DeMarco Murray = McCoy
Bradford > Foles, (but not Foles plus a 2)
Agholor (in 2015) < Maclin (arguably not a choice that Kelly made, Maclin made it)
Barbre = Mathis (in 2015, and shows up for work at much less money)
DJAX > Cooper (but one can argue that Maclin would not have extended if DJAX stayed). Maclin > DJAX

New DB coach >> Old DB Coach

I get back to several things that have went wrong this season...
1. Poor kicker play. I think its fair to blame Kelly for not recognizing the Parkey injury and finding a replacement sooner before they were all picked over.
2. The poor play of both Kelce and Peters. Peters due mainly to injury.
3. The poor play of Bradford. He clearly hasn't performed up to expectations.
4. The slow development of Agholor. Not ready for prime time in 2015.

Arguably, you have more reasons to be disappointed in Kelly the coach than Kelly the GM.

I don't know. For what Maxwell is being paid he should be significantly better than Williams. Bradford, so far, not worth the money or the picks. I think Murray will be fine in the long run. He had to adjust and if we upgrade the line we will be very happy with this.

I really think that Sanchez is a better fit than what I have seen from Bradford so far. The offense move faster and hopefully that will help the line and the run game. I am not saying he is a savior but I am looked forward to see what he can do with our offense.

I agree on all counts. As a GM, Kelly has been a lousy cap manager in some respects. Much more interested in getting good players than getting good value. And I am very curious how Sanchez will do as well. Kelly has arguably been so hell bent on proving Kelly the GM right on Bradford that he hasn't started the better player.

Thank God Sanchez is at least in his second year in the offense because he blows. If he looks anywhere near decent that's a good sign for Bradford next year.
