In the NFL there is NEVER a guarantee you will be the starting QB the next year. If Peyton Manning(one of the best QB's of all time)can be benched, no one is guaranteed a job...Bradford is guaranteed a starting job this season, thats ALL he should care about. An NFL franchise has to think ahead. What if the Eagles didn't take a QB, Bradford plays well and then leaves next year or the year after as a FA? They're stuck with NOTHING, right? Just because the Rams were stupid and didn't cover their asses as far as the QB position goes, doesn't mean other teams are that dumb too...
I get there is no guarantee you will be the starter but he didn't get beat out... They made the choice that he will not be the QB next year that's the difference. So he would rather learn a new system now with a new team vs wasting a year on a team who isn't getting better by the draft because they gave up their picks for his replacement. If he was playing well with the Eagles you know he isn't going anywhere that's what he wants is stablity.
