Taylor Martinez signed with the Eagles today.

I give it 4 games before he takes Foles' job

It would please me quite some bit to see Taylor get on the field in any way, shape or form.

I really like that guy en sech.

 

[Brasky]

Perfect fit. Best possible team he could have gotten on with. He might just have hope.

Chip Kelly will give him every opportunity.

guys he aint gonna be at QB. if he wants to even make the practice squad he'll be at WR or safety

not so fast, my friend #corsovoice

I would wager that he will never play a down in a NFL uniform.

give the kid a shot at cb

 

[jedburks]

give the kid a shot at cb

You have to be able to turn your hips to play CB

So CB is out for Taylor

 

[jedburks]

He won't make it past the first cut

 

[Jack_John_Mark]

Fuck ye all!

 

[iruletheskool]

Not to worry HuskerHoopla

I have signed with the Eagles to play QB, and will start over that bum from Arizona that me and coach dad creamed a few years ago

Guise I had a dream last night......

We are going to see Foles and Taylor on the field at the same time......and Taylor is gonna be throwing every now and then too.

You heard it here first.

 

[Brasky]

I don't see him getting cut. Chip Kelly is gonna jizz his pants seeing some of the things Taylor can do and he has the creativity and confidence to find a way to get the best out of him.

 

[Brasky]

And jesus guys, we should be rooting for him. I'm not even being a homer about this, I just feel like he really can play in the NFL if he's in the right offense and has someone creative enough to find things that fit his play style.

I don't think he's an every down player (not anytime soon), and I definitely don't think he can play defense, but he can definitely play football. He learns quick, he's tough as nails and he's an extremely gifted athlete. Those three things will keep him on the roster.

 

[Brasky]

All I know is, if I ever see Taylor Martinez trot out on the field as quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles in any capacity, I will straight up shit myself.

The links are cropping up

Eagles plan to use Martinez at position other than QB - Omaha.com

 

[Skerpokes]

Sources close to the Eagles orginization say that Coach Kelly was highly impressed with what they saw on tape for Martinez

 

[Brasky]

The thing is, when you sign an "athlete" to play WR, normally he's gonna play slot, and there's no fuckin way in hell Taylor could ever play slot. His cutting ability sucks and he'd get murdered over the middle. Can you imagine James Harrison coming down to meet Taylor on a crosser from a cover 3 and putting his shoulder into him? They'd have to bring an ambulance out to peel him off of the turf.

They're gonna have to get creative with him and Chip is very creative.
