In an interview with Rob Ellis of Breakfast On Broad, Mark Sanchez let us know that he expects to get a shot at the starting quarterback position. In the interview with Ellis, Sanchez didn’t reveal why he expected to get a shot at the starting job or who told he would get a shot. You have to assume that Chip Kelly told him that.
Although many Eagles fans disagree with him, Kelly likes Sanchez as his quarterback and he’s made moves to show it. I don’t know that Sanchez is going to be the starter, but if Kelly has to go with Sanchez as his starting quarterback, he seems to have no problem with it. Obviously, that’s why he resigned him.
It seems that Kelly liked what he saw on the tape of Sanchez as compared to what he saw of Nick Foles. He never spoke glowingly of Foles, but he has had great things to say about Sanchez.
Anybody in their right mind has to know that there’s a chance that Sam Bradford may get injured again. After all, he’s been injured the last two seasons. You would only trade for a guy like Bradford, if you felt good about your other quarterback. Remember Kelly has always said you need at least two quarterbacks in the National Football League. To sign Sanchez to a two-year deal says Kelly is confident in Sanchez stepping in there and doing the job.
On opening day of the regular season, Bradford will probably be the starter, but there’s no guarantee of that. The former Rams quarterback has already let it be known that he’s going to take his time coming back from his ACL injury. The last time he went down with an ACL tear, which was in the 2013 season, he rushed back and wound up not even making it to the 2014 regular season action.
Back to Sanchez, there aren’t many backups quarterback in the NFL that are better than him. Remember he was one of the top picks in the draft when he came out of school and he took two New York Jets teams to AFC Championship games.
The Eagles had the worse secondary in the National Football League a year ago, yet Sanchez had them at the doorstep of the playoffs. Remember they had the lead against the Dallas Cowboys in the second half, but couldn’t stop Tony Romo and Dez Bryant.
Sanchez had a 88.4 quarterback rating in 2014 with 14 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. The picks he threw were at the worst of times and he must improve in the area.
Last year was also Sanchez first season in Chip Kelly’s system. He may be able to improve on his performance in 2015 and that’s why Kelly signed him. Sanchez has been able to move the ball in Kelly’s offense, but the turnovers have really hurt.
Hahahahahahaha……but seriously no to ron mexico
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!!!!!!
nightmare.
I find it hilarious that now peter king is saying that there was never even an offer for MM– that essentially the Titans put out a ‘Not for Sale” sign…. meanwhile last week he and all the others were generating BS story after BS story– I can make this promise…next year at draft time I’m turning my computer off– what a bunch of crap! The evil empire is always in the news…
No you wont you cant help it its what we do as hardcore fans lol
I can… I typically don’t watch the draft but got caught up in chip needs his guy..blah blah..
AND THIS IS WHY YOU HAD TO SELL THE GOD DAMN FARM FOR MARRIOTA
TIM TEBOW HAS A LEGIT CHANCE TO START THIS YEAR
PUKE
CHIP IS A BLOCKHEAD
mhenski there is a rock in my backyard that possesses a higher football IQ than you.
The Titans didn’t want the Eagles farm…it wasn’t worth it to the Titans.
The Eagles didn’t have any high draft picks
I’d sell the farm for Tom Brady but that doesn’t mean New England will give him up
Dumb ass mhenski…Dumber than a rock
Michael barkan on WIP reports that a report from a reporter who covers LSU is reporting that the Eagles are in pursuit/interested in La’el Collins. I hope it’s true.
read above!!!!! these media guys!! damn them!
but I sure do hope we get him!
All these trade rumors got you shell shocked you don’t know what to believe in the back of your mind you know you wish that some of them were true.
If we pull that off..it puts a fitting cap on our excellent oft-season moves
Chip has done an excellent job as the GM, he saved the organization by getting Howie out of there!
You have Chips’ manhood so far down your throat you can’t get enough air to your brain to figure out what an excellent off-season is or not.
But kept DC Billy Davis?
great hot air… off season champs… the skins usually win that title..and how does that work out?
Its a whole new Program in DC with the Skins
this New GM Scott McConagan is a no BS straight shooter who knows Football Talent and already cut 12-13 Players that were on last years squad …
Previous GM Bruce Allen was strictly a “Yes Man” for inept Owner Dan Snyder
There are 2 new Sheriff’s in Town, Top Pick Brandon Scherff and GM Scott Mac…
“In Sanchize, We Trust”
I stated most of the Off-Season that Mark Sanchez will likely be the Opening Day Starter and I still stand by that for I don’t believe that Bradford will be ready to go until late September/October
Chip had made sound decisions in the parameters of what he has available to him. Sanchize is a bum…but he’s better than Foles…
Chip saw the film, he knows the Qb’s responsibilities on each play…his decision is sound. I dont think he will start over Bradford…Bradford has a stronger arm, smarter and does not turn the ball over like Sanchez..
yo kool. clean chips feces off your nose
And for the 78,000the time…..
“Bradford has a stronger arm, smarter and does not turn the ball over…..”
Keep it rolling.
Glad you brought up Foles again though. What’s that…the 15th post this week?
Does anyone remember game 2 of the Sanchize experience last year.
Carolina…Early second and Sanchize lobs one of his patented 15 yrd floaters that Matthews grabs and gets pulverized. Then about 5 plays later another patented 15 yrd floater again to Matthews. Touchdown this time, but Matthews lay on the carpet for a couple minutes after getting destroyed for the second time in a row,
Good times.
And from that moment on teams just sat on those 15 yard lobs. 9 ints over the next 8 games and his yrds/catch dropped steadily as he got more and more scared.
He quit before the GB and Seattle games had even started, and was pretty much single handedly responsible for the Dallas and Wsh wins.
What did he win? The Dallas game when they didn’t practice and against the NYG who had quit before the game began (as the Eagles should have)
He’s terrible.
I don’t give a shit what Chip Kelly says or thinks because if he thinks Sanchez can be a starter in the NFL….then he is wrong.
I dont remember that game Vinnie…but I damm sure remember that Dallas game with Nick Foles…
The worst Quarterback play I have ever seen from a professional Quarterback
Shook, nervous scared was Nick Foles
I remember the critical San Francisco game last year where a scared, nervous Nick Foles couldn’t see the open receivers running all over the field
Foles quit in that crucial game throwing the ball over Maclin’s head -not even giving him a chance to make a play…scared, nervous about throwing an interception-so what did he do?
He threw ball up in the stands a big loss for us
Back foot throws, confused, bogging the offense down by consistently missing wide open receivers down the field.
GCobb is right
“It seems that Kelly liked what he saw on the tape of Sanchez as compared to what he saw of Nick Foles. He never spoke glowingly of Foles…”
Guess why he never spoke ‘glowingly of Foles’…
Foles sucks
I wish we had Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, or Russell Wilson
Too bad we dont…Bradford and Sanchez are the best options available
Bottom Line!
Of course you don’t remember that game…you brain was still flooded with Dopamine over your irrational and over the top desire to see Sanchez on the field. Clouded your vision.
You were still in the midst of writing your 378th “Sanchez is great” post that weak.
Well done bringing up “Dallas game” again though….you’re nothing if not repetitive and consistent.
16th post this week about Foles…. And 8 more “Foles” mentions.
What does that make it? 78th time you’ve typed his name this week?
Keep it rolling!
Z, I’m gonna join Mhenski and go all caps man. THIS CANNOT HAPPEN DAMMIT.
caps lock that bitch……lol
damn whoever gets collins as an UDFA ends up with an extra 1 for the year…wow.
its OK Vinnie – no QB is going to be asked to pass more then 5 yards – seriously – this is going to be all dink, dunk, and check down just to keep people from stacking inside against the run –
This is true. Every pass is going to be within 15 yards, with 1000 WR screens.
Sanchez will still cock it up.
I’m “all-in” for Tebow at this point.
One last time ya’ll can all kiss my ass with that Sanchez crap. The season killer this guy cannot lead this team anywhere!!! Quick which QB are we tanking for next year?
Big..my QB’s for 2016 draft I would like to see on the Eagles:
1. Jared Goff- California Golden Bears 6’4″ 215
2. Cardale Jones- Ohio State Buckeyes 6’5″ 250
3. Christian Hackenberg- Penn State Nitanty Lions 6’4″ 234
4. Connor Cook- Michigan State Spartans 6’4″ 218
5. Patrick Towels Univ of Kentucky Wild Cats 6’5″ 238
If Bradford can’t stay healthy, the Eagles will be like the Sixers before they started tanking, too good to get a franchise QB, but not good enough to get beyond the first round of the playoffs, i.e. not good enough!
I told you who my guy is Eagle for 2016 – Jacoby Brissett 6-4 234 4.7 – North Carolina State.
Yes you did Cliff. I did not want to take your prospect. He is a good player. I will be paying attention to him this season.
I think he is a bigger Randall Cunningham, with the speed, more weight, and more accuracy with the same gun.
He will be criticized like all rookies but, I think the fans won’t think twice about Mariota if the Eagles drafted him, and he had the opportunity to be coached, and developed by Chip Kelly.
Just like I mentioned Jaylean Strong, and La’al Collins in last years draft, as potential players, I’m also identifying:
Brissett,
Tony Connor Safety/ CB of Ole Miss
Scooby Wright OLB of Arizona,
LeRaven Clark OT/OG of Texas Tech,
Emmanuel Ogbah OLB of Oklahoma State
Darnell Sankey OLB of Sacramento State
Tyler Boyd WR of Pitt
MarQueze North WR of Tennessee
and Vadar Alexander Guard from LSU as well….
No Sanchez, No Sanchez NO, NO, NO, NO, NO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
he went 4 wins and 4 losses in his 8 starts losing 3 out of his last 4 games, the win was a meaningless week 17 NY Giant game where they weren’t even trying .
My QB are…Cardale Jones..Patrick Towels..Dat Preston(if he improves his throwing skills) and my sleeper but one i really like..Trevone Boykins KSU
Rhino, do you mean Dak Prescott of MSU? His passing skills are dreadful!
Yes thats who i meant..My bad on the spelling. I know his passing is horrendous..thats why i was saying if he improves his throwing skills.
Keep an eye on QB Kevin Hogan of Stanford (6-4 230lbs) and my Sleeper QB
Joe Licata from U of Buffalo (6-2 226lbs) & Brian Burrell of Fresno St (6-4 221lbs) & Taylor Reed (Arkansas 6-3 215lbs)
Correction – Taylor Reed attends and plays for Central Arkansas
As a Stanford fan my eyes have had more than enough Hogan for the last few years. He is terrible. If he shows up on the Eagles I may have to gouge my eyes out so I no longer to keep any eyes on him.
Hell no on Prescott, I like Towels a lot.
**Eagles News***
Rumored that Mark Sanchez signs a 3 Year Extension to the 2 Year Deal he Signed in February keeping him with the Eagles thru the 2019 Season…
with Mark Sanchez and Mike Vick at QB, I just sit in the stands laughing while waiting for the impending doom that is about to come. They never disappoint. Turnover turnover turnover –
everytime I see sanchez throw pass 10 yds im like thats a damn pick six….lol
Please dont start talking about Mike Vick on this site EOS.
We have been a certain QBs name free for a couple of days I think….we go down the rabbit hole once either is mentioned.
lol u missed it you didnt see kool bring up foles and vinnie.jumped right on him about it…..It was magical….I dont know what we would do without vinnie and kool
Lol I can only imagine.
This is the logical sequence of Information and People Hacking…
Bradford in contract talks…(Chip has a price in mind but Bradford wants to negotiate as the clear starter)
Leak that Sanchez has a shot to win the job (true only if Bradford is broken)
Continue with negotiations with Bradford (Sign him to slightly more than Chip want’s but less than Bradford wants)
Bradford and Agent Hacked (Slightly Lowered Price Tag)
Sanchez Hacked (Believes he has a shot incase he has to play)
Fans Hacked ( We are all relieved to have Bradford Starting Game 1 vs The Sanchize)
True story right there Regal.
Paulman Rumor’s
Bradford signs a New 3 Year Deal worth $37.5 Million with $10 Million In Guaranteed $$$$
A Roster Bonus of $5 Million in 2015 & $5 Million in 2016
2015 Salary of $8.5 Million
2016 Salary of $9 Million
2017 Salary of $10 Million
You heard it hear first
Never. That is Back up Money
That deal would kill for the birds though
Foles sucks
Sanchez sucked a little less
Gotta keep Bradford healthy
If he doesn’t Sanchez will be the guy…and as with most NFL teams…you are in trouble when the backup has to play
Chip has taken the best available option…what better options did he have??
Minimum-
12 to 15 mil a year for 5 to 7 years with escalators for performance.
Will contain “outs” for team after 2 or3 years.
20 to 30 Mil G money over 2-3years
More than likely it will be a 100+Mil deal advertised (like Vick signed)
This is nothing more than a smoke screen by the organization ,in case the gimp can’t get out there for otas …and summer camp..the Rams spent months trying to construct a “friendly” deal ,and he balked ,this was rumored to allow for his impending release.He still didn’t blink ,so he was traded.We not only gave the Rams a healthy QB ,we gave a 2nd round pick.Now the spin is butt boy will be coming out of the inflatable eagle..talk about taking the “air” out of the room..this guy has the worst body language since Helen Keller
REMEMBER WHEN KOOL AND SONGS SAID THE EAGLES WOULD DRAFT HUNDLEY IN ROUND 1 OR 2 AND WELCOMED THAT PICK????????
2 CERTIFIED FUCKING IDIOTS RIGHT THERE
HAAAAAAAAAAA
I recall, Many had QB Hundley as a 3rd/4th Rounder (just like Matt Barkley)
THANK YOU SHADY FOR MAKING ME DISLIKE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“The relationship was never really great,” McCoy said. “I feel like I always respected him as a coach. I think that’s the way he runs his team. He wants the full control. You see how fast he got rid of all the good players. Especially all the good black players. He got rid of them the fastest. That’s the truth. There’s a reason. . . .
“It’s hard to explain with him. But there’s a reason he got rid of all the black players — the good ones — like that.”
MACLIN REPLACED WITH NELSON
DESEAN REPLACED WITH MATTHEWS/HUFF
MCCOY REPLACED WITH MURRAY
CARY REPLACED WITH MAXWELL
FLETCHER REPLACED WITH ROWE?
PRETTY SURE EVERYONE THAT LEFT WAS REPLACED WITH A BLACK PERSON.
MCCOY SOUNDS LIKE KOOLBREEZE – TOTAL FUCKIN IDIOT – ALTHOUGH KOOL WOULD NEVER CRITICIZE CHIP
You Forgot Brandon Graham for Trent Cole…
Chip did Release/Cut a couple of overpaid White Players too like James Casey & Todd Herremans
LeSean McCoy, God Bless his Football & Running Ability, but has never been that bright once he opens his mouth and probably just needs to shut-up and concentrate on playing ball..
Shady is educationally challenged but you better believe he’s not the only one who feels that way. The reporters response should’ve been well what’s his problem with Evan Mathis?
Didn’t Shady attend the University of Pittsburgh for 3 Years 😉
LOL
McCoy is right when he said Chip wants it his way and total control…if he stopped there he would have been good…..
Then he put both feet over the edge with the rest and threw himself of the cliff with no help.
