Who does he think he is?

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

What a world we live in.

 

[Shesty31]

Very doubtful, but watch the Eagles now not draft a QB because of this

 

[542365]

I could go on, but you get the point. He is the exact opposite of a competitor. You think Tom Brady would give a **** if the Pats moved up and drafted a QB? No, his ass would be working hard trying to prove that he's better than the kid. So soft.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Tom Brady would throw a fit. Brett Favre threw a fit. They all do.

 

[Voight]

Who is going to take him on? Unless he agrees to a massive paycut.

 

[What the Faulk]

I don't blame Sam here. He signed an extension thinking that he was going to have more job security. Like every QB, he thinks he can start. With playoff teams like the Jets and Broncos STILL lacking a legitimate starter, why would he relegate himself to a competition? It's kinda ****** of the Eagles, to be honest.

He had a full season to prove that he should be their starter of the future. You can't blame the Eagles for lacking faith in him.

I agree. Its one thing not committing to a guy and bringing in a fellow vet as competition but trading up to #2 specifically for a QB to eventually take your job is

"What a time to be alive."

Then why sign him? Sam played pretty well in the 2nd half of the season and I'm no Bradford fan.

So why did they give him 2/35 with 22 guaranteed? That's not backup money.

I fully blame Bradford: "Wah I might get replaced. I'm taking my ball and going home."

 

[Gene Parmesan]

Again if they had this grand plan of drafting and sitting a QB at 2, why sign Bradford to that type of money?

 

[Shesty31]

Desperation IMO. They probably didn't expect to have the #2 when signing him.

Who cares? They're still paying him. It's not his god-given right to start.

 

[What the Faulk]

The Eagles, by offering that kind of money, told Bradford "you're our guy." Then when they trade up, they're telling Bradford "you might not be our guy anymore." He's supposed to be okay with that, essentially a broken promise? Why would he willingly stay in a place where he has less job security, and on a worse team? The Eagles ****ed him over.

 

[PBandJ]

I can't really blame him.

They signed him, made him feel like he is the man and then gave him a massive middle finger.

For $22 million he should.

It's not a promise of anything. They wanted a QB so they got one. Now they want a different one. As long as they pay him I couldn't care less.

 

[What the Faulk]

He's probably made over $100 million in his career, no? I doubt money is an issue. It's the principle.

It's not a promise of anything. They wanted a QB so they got one. Now they want a different one. As long as they pay him I couldn't care less.

He was basically lied to. If he was told "we're probably gonna move up to 2 and have you compete with Carson Wentz for a starter's job", he doesn't sign the contract.

 

[GKJ]

No one looks good.

Eagles either went back on him or lied to his face.

Bradford, upon learning that he may need to compete for his job, doesn't want to.

Man, this really is playing out almost like Draft Day.

Eagles should have franchised him and dealt with it.
