Eagles get trash talked by a rival...punter

Well, this could be fun to watch...

Appearing on WFAN, Weatherford offered up a variety of opinions about his team’s NFC East rivals. He started with the lowest of the low-hanging fruit.

“I’m the biggest The Golden Calf of Bristol fan in the world,” Weatherford said. “I mean, who wouldn’t want their daughter to date a guy like that? I’ll tell you want, I don’t want him taking snaps for my team.”

As to the team’s other quarterbacks, Weatherford offered an automotive metaphor to compare Sam Bradford and Mark Sanchez.

“I’m gonna give you a Ferrari that maybe won’t be running all the time, or I’m giving you a nice Cadillac sedan,” Weatherford said. “It’s not the fastest but you know what you’re going to get out of it. . . . Bradford can go zero to 60 in three seconds. But you don’t know if he’s going to start up some days.”

Or, for that matter, some years. And yet the Eagles still seem to be interested in adding some years to Bradford’s contract.

“Good luck with that,” Weatherford said. “Chip Kelly will get himself in serious trouble if they get an extension for that guy and he gets hurt? He’s done.”

It will take a lot for Kelly to be done after the 2015 season, especially since he has won 20 games in two regular seasons. But giving Bradford a new deal, having Bradford get hurt again, and winning  fewer than half his games this year could make things very uncomfortable for Kelly in 2016.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
