Don't forget we have Cooper, the best receiver out there.

Kelly is making some nice moves so far. I'm not convinced Foles is out, and the rest of the team will have a more balanced look. They do need some WR depth, but recent models for success don't necessarily include a star WR or a shifty star RB. Is the roster trending more towards the look of the Seahawks and Patriots?? is that such a bad thing??

They still don't have a Lynch or Tom Brady for that to be the case tho

Gore is closer to a Lynch, and Foles is more than respectable. The skill player losses are not huge issues.

Dude's a possession reciever. Eagles need to sign or draft a reciever who's a deep threat that can change gears to pull away from secondaries.


Did you watch Maclin at all last season before Foles got hurt ? He wasn't a DeSean deep threat but he still got open a lot.

I meant Matthews is a posesson reciever. I've watched Maclin since his Mizzou days, I know he's a deep threat.

Seems like every sports team in Philly is doing some sort of rebuild. Not all looking good so far tho.

I'm happy with most of the rebuilds besides the Phillies. It's going to be a good while before they are competitive again.

If you are talking about the Eagles then you are way way way too pessimistic. Chip is about 1 month into his rebuild and FA hasn't started yet. Ask yourself if all this was happening as soon as Chip took, over two years ago, would it be easier to swallow? The answer is yes, but Chip didn't have that power. This was a mistake by Lurie by keeping Roseman who clearly has Reid/Banner ideations on how to construct a roster. Now Chip can do what he has wanted to do since he was hired.

Now Gore is re-considering signing with us and may go to the Colts. WTF?

Just a general statement that all four teams are doing some type of rebuild. Do I like what Chip has done so far? No, don't like it one bit. Going from a explosive offense to a unknown now but I will wait and see.

The Phillies on the other hand needs ........ Flyers are heading under the right direction so far under Hextall but it's still early.

Foles for Bradford and maybe picks. We better be getting Mariota now or I'm done with Chip.

The trade isn't about Bradford. I'd be stunned if he ever put on an Eagle uniform.

I agree. no. I WANT to agree because this move doesn't make sense and all I can think is that maybe Chip is going to trade Bradford to a team that has a top 10 pick. That's the only thing I can conclude from this.

Foles and a 4th for Bradford and a 5th......So looks like Bradford as the starting QB.

Foles a 4th AND a 2016 2nd for Bradford and a 5th.......brutal brutal trade. The whole coach shouldnt be the GM thing in basketball may need to go to Football.
The feedback I've received from our fans is they understand we are trying to build something great. Good decisions come from having a broad set of options and making tough calls. We will do it unblinkingly. We have to be willing to take smart risks-Hinkie
