    Thanks for the reply but it seems it's not available in the App Store to Irish users?

    It's not as if it would suddenly be a good idea if they DID win.

    Honestly i could see the Eagles franchising him it would be insane money but if the cap room is there he played better than Sanchez and commiting to him long term scares me more than the one year huge hit

    sam bradford, Tom brady, Eli manning, Peyton manning, Tom Brady Russel Wilson.



    He definately deserves more than them SB winners

    To be fair, in 2014 the highest paid qb in the league was none other than Jay Cutler. So, I guess Bradford feels like anything is possible. He also has been the highest paid qb in the league before, right?

    Still the eagles would be bananas to go close to meeting that demand.

    If Sam Bradford is the answer, the Eagles need to go back and work out what the question is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,475 ✭✭✭✭Knex*


    Cool article on Larry Fitzgerald, with all his previous QBs talking about different aspects of his game and character.

    I still think Bradford is a capable qb he played really well towards the end of the year and he played with a receiving corp that as far as I know had more drops than anybody this year and for the most part they where catches that should be made. I don't think he's tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers but if you can't keep throwing guys out in the hope of getting one of those guys particularly with a team that is to good to get a number one pick


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,475 ✭✭✭✭Knex*


    He's worth more than Foles and a 4th, or whatever it was, anyway.

    I'd love for the Rams to get a competent QB, although that OL needs serious work too, which is half the reason Bradford was moved on.

    Foles and a 2nd (although I think we got a 4th or 5th back)

    I don't disagree with that. I should have said:

    "If betting the farm on Sam Bradford is the answer, the Eagles need to work out what the question is."

    Oh I agree with that that's why I think the tag is an option its a crazy wage for him but it's less of a sin than committing long term.

    If we tagged him it would not affect our ability to tag cox next year would it?

    Super bowl week is getting closer, as you can see from craigslist SF

    Admittedly I'm struggling to find much information the further we go back, but the team with the longest odds pre-season to win the Super Bowl and win it that I can find in somewhat recent years is the 2007 Giants at 30/1.

    Carolina were 60/1 pre-season. Unbelievable.

    It must be a heck of a long time since any team with those odds even made the Super Bowl?


  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 16,627 Mod ✭✭✭✭adrian522


    What odds were the Ravens for the superbowl as they were facing 4th and 27 and Flacco was dumping off a screen pass?

    That game was far from must win, they would have been 8-3 if they lost it.

    I see that Beyoncé is part of the halftime show this year. I hope the power in Levi stadium can handle it better than the superdome didn't.

    Given hes only 1 year into the deal and they still owe him 35 million, he aint going to be restructuring
