OT: American footy thread

[T.S Quint]

Gore's load will be shared with Sproles and Polk.
I want to put my faith in Chip Kelly but it feels more and more like this is going to blow up in his face and in two years we will be left with a big mess and a team at the bottom.

Sounds like what Jed York is doing to the Niners.

 

[hindy111]

I do like Miami's division. I thought them and the Bills where on the up last year and now with a few addition they should be stronger.
Bills need a QB thou badly RON. At the moment use now would have maybe the worse QB going.

Kelly does have a plan-But it is whether or not it will come off. I could be wrong and he could turn us around, but for some reason i just dont feel it and starting to think RON was right.Gimmick coach trying to make it in the big league.

Bills have a better d then Miami even with suh, and with ryan and Hughes no see-signed we will have the number 1d in the league.

Yes we do, but I am quietly confident cassel may be effective for us. Roman turned a smith into a good qb in an offseason, I see cassel as a similar type system player who will thrive under roman.

We will win the east

They never do. I just think he was trying to get too cute, and too arrogant for his own good.

Signing maxwell to 10 million a year was not a good move IMO

 

[Ron Jeremy]

Gore is 31-turns 32 in may-I am worried too -Seems a little old.
I reckon Kaperanaick would suit Chips system.He can RUN!!!

I dont know maxwell or the guy we bought from bills.I do know our secondary and d was worse in comp. I hope they improve us.

I get the feeling Chips going to fill us up with free trades than give all our drafts up for Mariotta

Just remember, Alonzo isn't a run stuffer by any means, if anything he is a liability against the run, his strengths are in coverage

 

[hindy111]

Our defense no doubt will be better-Our o-line will be one of best in league.

But we have no running back - no wide receiver and now we are trading Foles for Sam Bradford.He cant stay fit for more then 4 games

 

[hindy111]

And giving them draft picks...OMG

 

[Ron Jeremy]

Lol what a horrible offseason for the eagles

 

[T.S Quint]

Niners will have a very different-looking team next season.
Look like losing Gore, Crabtree, Iupati, Stevie Johnson, Justin Smith, Amahd Brooks, and now Patrick Willis who is going to retire.
Some big losses there.
We have made two good signings in Darnell Docket and Torrey Smith which will help matters.
Hope we can make a couple more good signings and do well in the draft.

 

[hindy111]

Foles + our 4th round pick plus 2016 second rnd pick conditional on bradford performance-FFS

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Very tough town to be a coach, Philly. Got to be the quickest bunch of (local) fans to turn on their team / coach. Ask Andy Reid, the little guy who used to lead off or Phillies, and many others.

One thing is for sure. Chip will either look like a genius or be fired by December.

Bradford is good, but a big risk.

 

[hindy111]

I dont rate Foles-Bradford is the better QB but he has had two ACL's in the last two seasons.With his high price tag and its not like he was in high deman-Im not sure why we had to put in a few draft picks too sweeten the deal.

Good? He is a bust, he has had years to prove himself and just hasn't got the intangibles to succeed.

Just look at his win/ loss record, it is horrible, a good qb will put up wins.

Just look at luck, first season he takes colts from 2-14 to 11-5

Again, have you actually seen him play? He is your classic stink it up for 3 quarters qb then throw a few td's in garbage time to makes his stats look not too bad.

Yes i have seen him play, I dont mind Bradford. You rate foles while i have seen every Foles game.His first year he looked good, but put a bit of pressure on him and he goes too jelly, than does something silly.
In his second year teams seemed to work him out and than all the intercepts came. He has a slow release and even thou he hasn't played enough games too know if he will cut it i personally think he is a good back up QB and thats it.

There is a reason why philli fans are about to run Kelly out if town after this move, hell even on the bills board they are laughing at the trade as everyone knows that Bradford is terrible, he is a dud, has been since day 1, the guy is a genuine bust. He doesn't possess any leadership skills or other intangibles whatsoever.

Bradford reminds me of jp losman, we traded up to draft him in the first round in about 2005 and he is literally identical to Bradford and the way he plays- possessed a great arm, could run, same size hell even kinda looked like him, but the same excuses he got for not succeeding are the same Bradford has got ie injuries, players around him etc, people were just to stubborn tj admit he was a bust.

Can Bradford be an ok kinda qb? Sure, but I don't rate him any higher then ryan firzpatruck

Like walking into the Rams squad is the same as walking into the Colts squad? Yes, Luck is a better QB. But Bradford is better than OK in my opinion.....just a huge injury risk.

 

[Ron Jeremy]

A good qb will make others around better, it is a simple fact.

He had years to show something and never did

 

[hindy111]

We seem to be signing injury plagued players. Ryan Matthews from chargers and now thermond add to Kiko and Bradford.
