Rams Feel Like They Got Best Of Bradford-Foles Trade

NickFoles1I know the Eagles feel like they got the better of the deal when they acquired Sam Bradford in a trade with the St. Louis Rams, but it seems that the Rams are confident they got the better of the swap.   The Rams are having OTA’s this week just like the Eagles and Rams receivers have nothing but good things to say about Foles.

Kenny Britt who will be catching passes from Foles this season is raving about how good Foles has been playing.

“We love him,” Britt said. “Great deep ball, he puts it on the money every time. He can throw every pass in the book.”

St. Louis head coach Jeff Fisher has been very impressed with the way Foles has been able to pick up their system so quickly.

“He’s got his hands full because we’ve got great defensive team speed and they’re doing a lot of things over there right now,” Fisher said. “We’ve just really been pleased.”

“Yeah there’s different concepts, passing concepts, that are similar, that have similar reads, but it’s a different offense,” Foles said. “We’re going to have different terminology, different things going on, but that’s the fun of it. I get to learn more football. It’s a great offense to play in.”

Anthony Davis did not rule out returning but has decided that he’s not playing Football in 2015 so not sure what his Contract Status is with the 49ers if he chooses to return…

This rash of young retirements… Perfectly understandable. As a father I can tell you I would not encourage my son to play football. We all love it, we talk about it 24/7/365 but it is a gladiator sport that kills the participants .

I’ll give it 6 games before the Rams realize what we already know, that Foles is a damn bum.

If you look at what Chip did, he traded a QB whose upside is maybe the 13th-15th best QB in the league for a QB whose upside is 8th-10th best. He figures that he cannot win many more games with Foles than Sanchez, so he bets on Sam’s upside. I think it is a big bet and one I would make. No downside for Chip because if he fails, he goes back to college. If he succeeds, he is a Philly hero. Only downside is for Eagles fans and it is not like Nicky Franchize is the next coming of Joe Montana.

If. Eagles fail to reach the Post-Season with Bradford in 2015, then the Deal was a disaster as they also Traded next Years 2nd Round Pick which if the Eagles miss the Playoffs ends up being around 45-50th Selection which means next Draft the Eagles will have the 15-18th pick and then have to wait until the 80th pick or so with their 3rd Round Pick which is not the way you want to rebuild your Roster.. Eagles had misses in 2014 Draft, then only 3 Picks in the Top 85 in 2015 Draft and now will have on 2 Picks of the Top 80 or so in 2016..
This simply is not enough young Talent being Drafted in the early Rounds which will catch up to the Eagles come 2017,2018 and beyond…
Chip Kelly as a GM leaves a lot to be desired so far in my opinion…

If Brady and Manning aren’t putting up good numbers vs the NFC West how the hell is Foles going to put up good numbers vs Seattle, SF and Arizona? Foles is going to a division with ferocious defenses. If you think he was throwing off his back foot with the likes of Shady and Maclin at his disposal vs the Giants of the world what the hell do you think is going to happen vs the NFC west?
