In regards to Mr. Tim Tebow and what to make of the signing, at least Philly has a non-Mariota topic of conversation until the NFL draft.
I would prefer a third string quarterback who has won regular season games and a playoff game over Matt Barkley. Any argument that Tebow will compete for the starting quarterback role because we couldn’t land Mariota is absurd. If we are relying on Tebow to start at some point in the season, it means that Bradford and Sanchez are injured, or it’s week four of the preseason.
Is it really as big of a deal as it has already and will continue to become?
If any roster addition or subtraction, big or small made by Chip surprises people at this point, it really shouldn’t. Chip has made it clear he likes competition at every single starter and back-up position on this football team.
It’s obviously different with signing a former first rounder, who had a “cult-like” following due to his lifestyle and religious devotion on and off of the football field. The guy was unable to contribute as a Jet once traded from Denver and couldn’t hold down a roster spot with the Patriots. He then vacates the NFL for some behind the camera work, declares he is dedicated to land with a NFL team, and winds up an Eagle.
Am I a Tebow fan? The answer falls into two categories with this guy, the “person” and the “player.”
I feel some of the attention he creates, but listening to a guy that I respect in Brian Dawkins, this is who the guy is, it’s not a “front” he is a “different” type of person. Tebow is a kid that is very emotional, spiritual and a high-intensity competitor.
Tebow is not a starting NFL quarterback, he has less than a 50% completion percentage and his arm strength, accuracy and timing is below average. He can do some different things with his athleticism, but it requires coaches to design plays to “fit” what he can do.
I’m fine with the signing; this is for a back-up to the back-up quarterback position.
So what are the positives to take away from the newest signed Philadelphia Eagle?
-Hopefully this means Chip has enough quarterbacks to compete. That the possible draft pick he may have used on a prospect can now go to another position of need.
-We have a reason to watch in the pre-season when all of the starters are out of the game.
Bradford is the starter, Sanchez is the back-up and Tebow is battling for 3rd quarterback position.
That’s it, and it’s how it needs to be interpreted because that is the truth of the situation. Maybe if Tebow makes the final roster and is active on game day, we see him a run a play or two near the goal-line or in a short yardage situation.
He won’t be drafted in fantasy football leagues, but “too” many of his jerseys will end up being sold, that is if they are even manufactured.
It’s laughable the whole Tebow craze, but entertaining to say the least.
I believe Mark Sanchez is the Opening Day (1st Month) Starter
Word is that Bradford’s Knee is still experiencing some Swelling and most likely will be limited in Football duties until mid-Summer…
Remember this is a Brand new System for Bradford,
who hasn’t played in a up-tempo, read and react system since the 2009 Collegiate Season…
Eagles needed to sign a QB because their “starter” won’t be able to limp….er….jog out on to the field until TC.
Eagles have 3 voluntary and mandatory camps scheduled before then and someone has to throw the ball during these practices/mini-camps.
So why not Tebow – the all time greatest college RO QB?? Chips kind of guy!
The only issue I have is some people touting the “who cares – its only a 3rd stringer…..” talk.
’cause history says the 3rd stringer is going to play in a Chip Kelly team.
16 different starting QBs over 8 years for Kelly.
A starting QB who has missed 60% of his NFL starts due to injury
A backup who is terrible
There is a very good chance Tebow sees the field.
Read-option baby! Love it!
Glad the Eagles don’t have any deep speed/stretch the field type players, because any throw past 10-15 yards Tebow can’t connect.
Nor Sanchez.
And Bradford has the lowest % of deep attempts in the league since he was drafted.
The entire attack will be short passes because that’s all the 3 Qbs on the roster can do.
Its a ‘horizontal’ attack, not a vertical one. Sideline to sideline.
I wouldn’t be surprised if that ends up being the case, maybe the guys putting the final pieces to the NFL schedule want a little Sanchez/Brady prime time action to start the season and have an “in” with the medical staff over at the NovaCare complex…
Please post where this “word is” about Bradford until mid summer.
So you are on record say he doesnt practice in any minicamps/OTAs this year?
Pats Opening Home Game to Start the 2015 NFL Season will be versus the Cowboys or Eagles or possibly versus AFC Foe, the Pittsburgh Steelers..
.
I would have to think Bills coming to Philly is a prime time game as well…
Bills will stomp the Eagles ..Rex Ryan will have Shady run the Ball 30 Times versus the Eagles ..
On a Side Note… All the other NFC East Teams have fortified their DL and specifically their DT Position to help stop the Run, while the Eagles have done nothing…Don’t be surprised to see a DT added with the Eagles Top Pick (Arick Armstead or Malcolm Brown)
Do you have a partnership or stock hold with pepto? If eagles go d line in top 5 rounds I’m going to be sick.. we have Taylor hart about ready to take over opposing offensive lines with his below average across the board skill set. So I’m really nervous about mathis, kendricks I see traded but I think mathis is key to the o line… not a fan of barbrer..tobin..kelly..Gardner in any starting role
Taylor Hart is unproven, many had him as late Pick or even going Undrafted last Year… What has he done other than play for Chip at Oregon
Who do the Eagles have besides Bennie Logan at DT or NT
Beau Allen is a situational Player
I still think the Eagles are a little thin across the DL
Cox,Logan,Thornton are all Young and make a solid Group,
but Eagles need to add Athleticism and Size to their DL and I don’t think grunt Players like Taylor Hart or Beau Allen are anymore then
10-12 Snap a Game Players
The Bills are going to NY Jets north. They have a terrible OL no QB play and Sammy Watkins didnt even separate himself from Jordan Matthews.
Rex Ryan will grind Shady to the nub….he will begin his Shaun Alexander impersonation this year.
And they still beat the Eagles
And you will flip flop the week of and say otherwise.
With OC Greg Roman at the helm to fix their Offense and
get QB EJ Manuel back on track lpus reliable QB Matt Cassell who lit the Eagles Ass up in 2013…
Backfield of Shady McCoy,Fred Jackson and Bryce Brown
WR Corps of Sammy Watkins, Percy Harvin, Robvert Woods
Chris Hoagan and MArquise Grissom is SUperior to the Eagles
LT Cordy Glenn
LG Chris Williams or Cyril Richardson battling it out
Center Eric Wood (one of best in the NFL)
RG Ritchie Icognito or Kraig Urbik to battle it out
RT Seantral Henderson or Cyrus Kouandijo who may be moved inside to RG
Bills have a Big, Power Blocker OL which are the Type that Gives the Eagles Fits…
Rex Ryan will blitz the shit out of Bradford, Sanchez, Mariota, Tebow and You if your Playing QB… Eagles get thumped 23-13
Greg Roman at the Helm…and EJ Manuel back on track…and Matt Cassell reliable?
LMFAO
IDIOT POST OF THE WEEK.
Greg Romans offense have been dreadful since the league caught up to the SF read option with after CKs initial run.
The offense got continually worse since 13 and the 49ers were even contemplating bringing in Eric Mangini as the QB coach for a change in direction.
Stop slinging chimp and come up with something accurate.
Think the Dallas/Pats game is in Dallas
With Mariota talk on the pause in relationship with the Eagles….this idea came to my head this morning.
Rams trade Foles to Browns for pick #19. Rams trade pick #10/pk #19 as part of package to move up and get Mariota.
How sick would that make Philly fans feel……
Other than it makes no sense Kolsky.
If Foles got you a first he would be gone on draft day and Chip would have held on to him.
Yeah, solid point.
But Chip doesn’t understand or know the “Market Value” of Players yet around the NFL…
Another nonsense point by Paulman. You overestimate market value and dont understand it.
stop it paulman…when it comes to understanding market value your lost…
Tim Tebow is a very good looking man. All the Eagles QBs are attractive. I would say Tim is the best looking and pure too. Mark Sanchez is gorgeous. I like Sam Bradford with that little Brady Bunch fro, that is hot. Matt Barkley is no slouch either with that California surfer boy look. Off to practice Basketball.
HA… best post of the day
Jeff, that’s the asshole trying to draw me out, posting with my sons name in hopes that I will respond to him personally, as he makes these homosexual overtures under my sons name.
cliff i knew i recognized that name and couldn’t place it. which particular asshole is this?
who hasn’t posted for months under his most infamous alias??….
and has already, and currently posts as many others to date??
Who would be so ignorant to use MY sons name particularly, and started posting homosexual statements???
My son would laugh at him after showing him his bank account balance after 1 month of opening a new account, and compare it against E0S’s life savings…..
No reaction needed….He will always be a loser..

gm,
Your son is the Delaware basketball player?
I have 4 boys
My Oldest played for St Joes his freshman year, and transferred to University of Delaware. He Graduated a few years ago, and is currently working for Nike in some marketing capacity in Chicago.
He has been asked to come back to be an assistant Coach, with the objective of becoming a Head Coach someday, and because of his love of the game is considering it.
My 2nd Oldest son is High School All American Jaylen Brown. His mother Michelle, originally from Michigan, but graduated here in Delaware, has married, and raising him in Georgia.
My 3rd Oldest is also a High School All American Tyler Dorsey, who just committed to the University of Oregon. His birth mother passed away when he was 6, and His Step Father Jared has remarried, and has raised him in Los Angeles.
My youngest son is autistic, but has several gold medals from the Special Olympics, and He, and his mother are married, and are raising him in Delaware.
His mother, and I are married, and raising him in Delaware.
Gm, had no idea. .honestly thought it was a female commenting
Thank you Jeff, no problem ever with us.
There are just some real pieces of work that post on here, who have nothing better to do than play with this site, and themselves, while hating on others – especially good people who honestly love our area sports teams.
I would like to suggest Jeff, if we could create a means of clearly detecting and censoring some posters who are offensive like that, and bar them from logging on.
I’m still a Father, and I will stand up for my Children.
So, I would appreciate Gary deleting this persons affiliation with this site totally. He – the asshole posing under my sons name – and all his other alias. We’re talking about accountability here.
Sometimes we go too far. It would be a shame if someone was sued for slander, defamation of Character because of the ignorance, and immaturity of it’s posters. Don’t you???
My son is also a Father, and my Grandchildren know who I am on this site, and read it’s content.
That isn’t something I want them reading…
reading toward their Father
With all due respect Cliff this sounds kinda like BS. You’re saying that you are the father of two HS All Americans of the same age? Two kids that I have never heard were related and I cover HS ball for a living. There is plenty of info out there about who these kids parents are and none of them sound like you. You didn’t even spell Jaylen’s mom’s name correctly. Please elaborate on this as I would definitely like to do a story on you if indeed you are their father.
I don’t see reason for why people go to the means they do through social media to disrespect one another. I love talking sports with the people on this site, but here and there comments are posted and in your situation they are premeditated to be cruel and personal.
I want him removed from the site Jeff….
gmcliff, I have passed on your request to the necessary party and it’s being looked into. Thank you for you making me aware of this situation, and please continue to be a contributor to the site.
Speaking on behalf of most of us Jeff, thank you it should be no room for any of that nonsense here.
Jeff Kolsky,
somebody’s ticker is almost out of beats —
you don’t fire Jason Kelce to appease Concrete Charlie Bednarik one month before Grime Reaper comes.
100% healthy and could run a marathon —
hey Cliff … wait for it …
wait for it …
wait for it …
BOO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey GMCliff –
I’m back jack, deal with it
GMCliff – great news Tyler Dorsey just accepted my friend request on twitter! Wait until I tell him all about his NFL scout father for the St Louis Rams who orchestrated the trade of not only Eric Dickerson but Marshal Faulk too. How much again was that Draft King prize you won? I’m sure he could use a few dollars for college spending money? +
Jeff Kolsky? Apparently GMCliff is the father or the #2 recruit in the Country for NCAA Basketball too and this #2 recruit Jaylen Brown has not yet decided which College he will attend. If I was a Journalist, like say someone like Jeff Kolsky for instance, I would try to break the story. ( will it be Kentucky, Duke, Connecticut, North Carolina) ? Good thing Jeff Kolsky and GMCliff do important favors for each other. GMCliff could get you an interview with his son to discuss which College he might attend.
Jeff Kolsky – In addition Jaylen Brown ( GMCliff’s son ) mentioned above is currently ranked as the number 2 overall draft prospect in the 2016 NBA draft.
Jeff Kolsky are you a journalist interested in big time stories?
Jeff, do you see how losers, who aren’t very bright incriminate themselves?
I had no doubt who he was, Now Gary has no problem figuring out who this asshole is….
JeffKolsky – Linda Brock, University of Delaware, Men’s Basketball Administrative Assistant, telephone # 302-831-2724
Jeff that decision would belong to my son, but he won’t choose any of the schools the asshole submitted.
He will Choose either Michigan, or Cal
There is your exclusive Jeff.

4 brothers – never met each other –
Jaylen Brown ( the superstar, the nugget to get an aspiring journalist’s story into the front door ) , Tyler Dorsey ( top 50 recruit), Jawan Carter ( all time leading Delaware HS scorer) and the pièce de résistance a special needs autistic multi- gold medalist from the Special Olympics guaranteed to get this block buster story on CBS’s 60 Minutes, New York Times, Sports Illustrated, NBC Sports —
once in a lifetime story sitting there …
What the hell is going on with this crazy story about cliffs kids and eos raging him about it…..how the hell this shit get started…..lol…..stick to sports talk please all this personal stuff is crazy
My Family is better off than his Z.
He doesn’t know the story, nor does he need to – but he’s just hating, because his genes breed nothing but complete unadulterated assholes….
I’m very proud of my boys
.
zilents44 – Sorry – I enjoy inciting & instigating Cliff to produce a reaction. GMCliff is so interesting. Cliff seeks to win at all costs and is incapable of remorse, guilt or shame. He invents outrageous lies about his experiences. He is delusional and believes what he writes will become true. This is classic sociopath tendencies. How could you not enjoy him in full bloom and display here.
Hopefully all his alias will chime in so Gary can sensor him permanently.
I have a 26 year old girl, and two 22 year old girls, and one in the oven with my wife currently as well……all College Graduates from Spellman, and Delaware State…

**New Paulman Rumor**
NO Saints to be a Player in the Mariota Sweepstakes and are talking to the
Browns and Titans … Saints have the 13th & 31st Picks in the 1st Round
and are dangling Drew Brees to the Browns for the Browns 12th Pick and then would Package the #12 & #13 to the Titans for their #2 Pick to Select Mariota
I heard brees was going to the Jets.
Hardly news…the Saints have been linked to Mariota for a number of weeks now
Where have the Saints been linked to QB Mariota
I have not read, heard one report that has linked them to Mariota…
Saints as Marriota players or drafting a QB in general has been Twitter and Bleacher report talk
More of Paulman’s Useless Information
Is anyone surprised to learn that the Eagles have had Personal Visits/Workouts with 6 TE’s this Draft Run up so far….
In comparison
4 OL – La’el Collins, Donavan Smith, Terry Poole & Jeremiah Potausi
(I like this Jeremiah Potausi from Utah who is very versatile and probably more of a Guard at the NFL Level)
8 WR – Agholor, Perrimen, Strong, Greene,Conley, Jimmie Hunt, RJ Harris
7 CB’s – Jalel Collins, Kevin Johnson, Byron Jones, Eric Rowe, Cam Thomas, Darryl Roberts, Randall Evans
2 Safety’s – Damarious Randall & Adrian Amos
No one cares about personal visits/workouts of TEs Chimp Boy.
Until the Eagles Draft 1 Dip Shit …
Dont get upset ChimpBoy. Dont be a thin skinned trick after all the trolling you do.
Last year 6 of the 8 picks were brought in for visits beforehand and 1 was Huff.
You should care about personal visits/workouts because its from that group that Chip will selcect his players.
They can sign all 6 as undrafted FA’s. I’m not looking to spend a single pick on a TE. We took one high in round 2 a few years back and have yet to use him the way he should be used.
Graham can’t block, but he remained on the field for the Saints. IM NOT comparing Ertz game to Graham, but you find a way to keep your playmakers on the field.
Do note that Jimmy Graham was off the Field for 25 Snaps a Game which is one of the Reasons why Sean Payton and the Front Office did not want to continue to pay him a Superstar Salary when missing a 1/3 of the Offensive Plays a Game ..
Both Jones and Rowe can play safety.
That’s the hop but has yet to be determined.. No one really knows if Jones, Collins, Rowe or any other CB from College can Play Safety at the NFL Level until they start Playing the Position.. Eagles and Chip Kelly will always lean towards a Player who is Versatile and play multiple positions
They are all blocking TEs – like Celek
***** trade alert ******
Eagles send Bradford,cox,kendricks,boykin and #52
To the Browns for 12,19 & Johnny football
Can you toss in Darren Sproles too…
Why in the world would we give up Cox Kendricks who we can control easily through tags or contract pickup for 12 &19 and make the defense weaker and have to fill those spots?
Well Jenkins I don’t know if you have noticed but Kendricks is already gone and if they don’t pick up cox option for 2016 then he’s gone also. Then chip could get his type of players in here.
How is Kendricks gone? The Seahawks havent extended Bobby Wagner(who I think is a better player). They can apply the franchise tag on Kendricks while extending him.
What is this thought process that the Eagles are out of options with different players? You dont resign Kendricks until you find out the market for him.
We cried about our LB depth last year they resign Ryans and suddenly we have to get rid of Kendricks? That makes absolutely no sense.
Dude wakeup where is Kendricks gonna play he’s a trading chip why do think he’s not at mini camp they told him to stay home so that he doesn’t get hurt same with mathis…
that would be just dumb Smitty
Yea right!
Tebow is only here to be a mentor to Johnny football
NFL Commissioner has Declared that Chip Kelly is not to be in Chicago for Draft Weekend and that the NFL has too many other Security Issues to worry about as it is and suggests that Jelly Kelly remain back at Nova Care Ctr in Philly.. John Hart to follow up with more Reports if deemed necessary
