Great move for the Rams! Looks like the Eagles are going to draft a QB :)

It was comfirmed by the STL Post that the trade has been done.

Sam Bradford to Philly for Nick Foles and a conditional pick.

Chip Kelly is an idiot. He just dumped his best trade asset for moving up to get Mariota for the NFlL's version of Derrick Rose.

Just plain stupid.


EDIT: Then again, I wouldn't put it past the Jets to have asked them to go out and get Bradford, considering their OC is the eternal nincompoop Chan Gailey. I still don't understand what Bowles was thinking bringing that hack on board. It could very well be his downfall.

Agreed.

This is very similar to the Cardinals with Carson Palmer.

Nick Foles is a good QB, not great, but good. I think he will do well with the Rams.

I don't know if the guy is an idiot, but he is up the creek without Frank Gore. Gore would have excelled in Kelly's system, IMO.

Right now the Eagles are boom or bust.

On paper it looks good for the Rams but the Rams still have Fisher coaching them to mediocrity.

I agree with this. I am confused why the Eagles would give up any picks for Bradford. I am also confused by the statement from a previous poster that this is part of a Chip Kelly plan to trade up for Mariota. How does this help the Eagles move up in the draft?

Did they get the Rams to flip 1st rounders? Thus, the Eagles move up to #10 and the Rams back to #20?

I feel like he was a product of the system. I think he's average at best, regardless of what he did in 2013.
I'm also hearing that the Eagles and Rams switched 1st rounders and the Eagles are getting a 2nd round pick.

That's really damn stupid if that last part is true.

Only 7 active QBs have attempted 1,700 passes and averaged worse than 6.7 YPA. Two (Sanchez and Bradford) are on the Eagles.

The Rams just fleeced the Eagles.

Sam Bradford is a mediocre QB who averages playing less than 10 games per season. Foles finally enters into an offense that fits his strengths. Correct me if I'm wrong--the Rams also got a pick in return?!?!?!

The Rams just leapfrogged the 49ers for 3rd in the division.
