Warfish Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Maybe we should wait till he takes his first regular season snap before we crown him an all-pro, eh?

I will definitely root for him, assuming he isn't playing the Jets. I agree. I watched some philly preseason games and if they dont average close to 30pts per game I 'd be surprised. Adding Mariota and his mobility to that already ridiculous offense/scheme...it just wouldnt be fair. If Philly establishes anything close to a respectable defense they could very well make it to the dance. I picked up Sam Bradford in Fantasy as my #1 just because of this offense. I think he's going to make it through the season and his numbers are going to be ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have traded the 6th pick for Bradford. Easy to say when referring to a rookie. That being said, all of the work that Chip put forth in order to make an attempt to acquire Mariota supports my view more than it does yours when speaking on Mariota's value to that system. And keep in mind that Kelly already had Bradford as a QB when making these attempts, even using Bradford as a bargaining chip. I do think that Bradford is a talented QB thats just been hit with all kinds of injuries. I have a feeling that the running game and Jordan Matthews will provide a nice fit for Bradford.

Bradford is Tom Brady with athleticism. If he could stay healthy he will pick defenses apart with his ridiculous accuracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villain The Foe Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Bradford is Tom Brady with athleticism. If he could stay healthy he will pick defenses apart with his ridiculous accuracy. I agree. I disagreed with the "Bradford is 10 times better than Mariota" part. Chip Kelly was willing to trade the "Tom Brady with athleticism" along with draft picks and star defensive players for this kid. It would be one thing if this was some random coach that happened to have a hard-on for a QB, but this is a coach that recruited this kid from high school and knows this kid as well as he knows his offensive scheme. That says alot. But I dont want to get that confused with the fact that I am 100% on board with Bradford having a breakout year this year. I think he could blow the doors off because he is a better talent than a guy like Foles, who blew the doors off in this very offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Brown Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Bradford is Tom Brady with athleticism. If he could stay healthy he will pick defenses apart with his ridiculous accuracy. I watched the Eagles all summer because I thought that Sanchez might start and I was wondering how he would do. Well I saw Bradford up and close as far him being seen all summer and this guy is RIDICULOUS!!! I saw Bradford make pass downfield with pinpoint accuracy that I don't think ANYONE and I mean ANYONE else in the NFL can make. If he can stay healthy that Boy is Dangerous!!!

Dude's a walking injury waiting to happen... Well, based on history, every other season that Bradford made it to week one he played all 16 games. History shows us that this year he's scheduled to play in 16 games for as long as he can make it to the field for the game. Funny how history can be manipulated.

All I can say is go to a Philly Fan Site and you will see how quiet they are. No chirping, they know that Bradford is good and they are collectively praying that he stays healthy as you suggest because they know if he does that they have a very good chance of going to the SB. He will, I believe, make that much of a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to be a great NFL QB. Being a product of a system (which he was) doesnt mean that he cant be a good/great NFL QB. However, 1 is a fact and 1 is an opinion...though an opinion I can see becoming a fact. I think Mariota could do well for as long as they provide a nice line, running game and a defense. But we've all seen what Kelly's offense can do for a QB on a professional level. Lets not pretend like that offensive scheme has not contributed to Mariota's success.

I think as long as a quarterback has ability he is going to shine in Oregon's system. Look at Vernon Adams, guy was a great QB at Eastern Washington and comes in with just what two weeks, and shines. It's as much the player as it is the system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
