    this is the guy i'd like the eagles to take a look at.
     
  3. to me he will be ok but I can't see him ever being very successful. I think he will be a great backup and a guy that will start at times sort of like a Fitzpatrick in the way that he could start but he won't win games for his team.

    i dont know - something about this kid gives me a good gut feeling. plus his stock is surely going to take a bit of a hit because he broke his ankle and cant play in the senior bowl so grabbing him @ #45 would be a good pick IMO.

    yeah i dont either, who in the latter part of the 1st round needs a qb ?
     
  7. None but a team could aways trade up

    yeah that would be a possibilty. thats why i thought if he makes it into the 2nd round and the dolphins dont get manning via FA the eagles better move up if they want him.

    again i like this kid and if there is one thing reid and morninwheig are good at it's grooming young qb's.

    ultimately it seems final personnel decisions are no longer reid's but i do not feel any better knowing that a freaking nerd has that power now.

    Because Kevin Kolb is fantastic?

    notice i said "good" ? did i say everything they touch turns to gold ? if i did you have a point, otherwise i'm not sure what your point was.

    but on kolb, what do you even know about him since the move to arizona ? the cards suck it big time and he got hurt. there really isnt much of a body of work to judge there but while he played here he showed a ton of promise minus the GB game to start 2010.

    actually kolb would've been very good here IMO considering the oline's play jumped up dramatically. the kid is not mobile at all and that's an issue but other than that he's not bad. i still dont think the eagles let the right qb go. reid just fell in love with vick's intangables.

    but hey - point out kolb and conveniently leave the names of favre & mcnabb. christ, reid even got the most out of a.j. feely here. that's part of the equation, what reid and marty get out of guys while they're here.

    Smeag's I still think he is gonna be the Eagles guy at 15.

    The plus side is yopu still have Vick, so Tannihill isnt gonna be pressed early, which is going to go along way. The only place you guys have an immediate need for is at LB, and you know how often Reid drafts olb's in the first

    But when Vick gets hurt will Tannehill have to step in? Or will the Eagles bring in another guy for when that happens?

    no way would i take him at #15. also, reid doesnt have final say in personnel move anymore so they may just take a LB.

    with barkley and jones staying he could be a first rounder...not much to love about him though imo, definitely profiles as a backup like stanton, edwards, kolb, ect......

    which certainly means he will be an eagle and andy reid will fool everybody into thinking hes moderately decent and trade him for 7 first rounders
     
  15. so glad you agree with me on this. That's exactly how I feel.

    we'll see. no way i take him in the 1st round regardless of barkley & jones staying but you know never.

    I personally think he's better then Jones

    I think Bradford fizzling out this year really hurt Jones. Stoops QB's dont get alot of NFL love
