    even the great qbs had dips in performance at the start of their career.

    it was probably a combination of things. bad luck, injuries, and defenses had some film on him.

    it then comes down to how foles adjusts.

    i don’t think he was as good as 2013 suggests, but he isn’t as bad as 2014 either. he’s still young and can get better.

    i think they need at least 3 offensive linemen. i’d prefer they at least re-sign joe barksdale and draft one. that leaves one more.

    but i also think they got a real shot at one of amari cooper or kevin white. i’m not sure that’s an opportunity i’d want the rams to pass up. if i was snisher, i’d wait to see if i could get either of those two. if not, i’m trading back and picking the best olineman available.

    i’d even consider defensive back if the right one was available.

    if i was fisher, i’d still look into bringing in another wide receiver with that first rounder. my preference would be amari cooper if he’s available there.

    I read, that Suh said, that he had more talent than he did.

    http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/08/20/suh-nick-fairley-has-an-opportunity-to-be-better-than-me/

    “I haven’t said this a lot or to many people, more or less, but Nick is more athletically gifted than me, and he has an opportunity to be better than me, and that’s what I want to see out of him,” Suh said Wednesday, according to Ashley Dunkak of CBS Detroit.

    i bet chris long was one of the guys who wasn’t happy. he’s pretty good friends with sam.

    to jim it probably sucks having to cover a team that most likely won’t be there next season. and then on top of that they make him look a little foolish.

    Mike Clay ‏@MikeClayNFL 9m9 minutes ago
    Chip basically said the personnel around Bradford in St. Louis was to blame for his struggles. Hard to argue really.

    NFL on ESPN ‏@ESPNNFL 19m19 minutes ago
    Eagles coach Chip Kelly says he’s already been offered a 1st-round pick this morning for newly acquired QB Sam Bradford.

    Jason La Canfora ‏@JasonLaCanfora 18m18 minutes ago
    If Kelly was offered a 1st for Bradford, my guess is it has Browns written all over it. And if Kelly wanted Mariota he’d have taken it…

    if it was the browns who offered a first rounder it says a lot about how dumb the browns organization is.

    bradford is only better than foles if he actually plays.

    my expectation is that bradford doesn’t even start the season.

    maybe. but they also signed wells and long. so they could also be wrong about this. like i said. i’m not disappointed. but i’m not overly thrilled either. it was a need and it was filled.

    i’m not disappointed although i always wonder if the idea of kendricks was always more appealing than the actual production.

    we’ll see. maybe the shackles will be taken off this year.

    yeah. it all comes down to the oline and the running game on offense. i like tre mason. i think he can be at least very good. if they can find a complement to mason and if they can rebuild that oline, the offense should be fine.

    the defense has been inconsistent. hopefully, they can put it all together this year. i think they should add another cornerback.

    another consideration is that defenses started to get a book on foles. the question would then be can foles make adjustments to counteract that?

    i like it. he had a very promising sophomore season. followed by an average but disappointing third season. a little bit concerned by the injury last season but nothing that required reconstructive surgery. i think there’s a lot of potential there.

    plus. big hands!!! haha!

    It’s true that from 2013 and 2014, the Eagles went from 27th in passing attempts to 5th. How Foles fits into that will require a little math. Which I’ll do, but later. w

    ok. somebody needs to get on this asap. the suspense is killing me.

    i’d say this is the year that jones has to somehow crack the starting oline, or he’s pretty much just a career backup.

    i’d rather the rams not sign britt or barksdale and go after randall cobb. then draft offensive line.

    from laram’s post it seems very unlikely stan would want to buy the raiders. doesn’t sound like the raiders would be very corporate sponsor friendly. and it sounds like the raiders will be staying in oakland anyway.

    i could see stan selling the team and buying the broncos. i think in that case the rams would be staying in st louis.

    well. they’ve switched coordinators every year since fisher has been head coach.

    this year will represent the first year that they’ve had the same coordinator. i think that makes a difference.

    i think the following also has to happen.

    alec ogletree has to stay in shape. he’s got to be on top of it. he reported to camp out of shape and it showed. once he worked himself back into playing shape, his play predictably improved.

    they have to figure out what they want out of michael brockers. he lost 20 pounds prior to the 2014 season, and i believe his play suffered for it. get him back to his ideal playing weight.

    they have to find another corner to replace jenkins. i think what laram said is true. the guy gambles too much. getting a corner in the draft would be good. maybe they get waynes or kevin johnson.

    interesting. sounds like the carson site was never really an option.

    i also saw this link on that message board.

    looks like the raiders are staying in oakland.

    chargers are left out in the cold.

    rams are still in pole position to move to los angeles.

    maybe chargers end up moving in with the rams when all is said and done.

    that would confuse the crap out of me. i would eventually get over it. unless the rams. er i mean raiders won a superbowl. then i think i’d have to hunt kroenke down. and eat the toupee right off his head.

    it’s a nice looking stadium. look. i wouldn’t be disappointed if the rams stayed in st. louis. i love st. louis. and it really doesn’t matter where they play at this point.

    but just let me enjoy this team. just do that. i like this team right now. i like the players. i want to root for quinn and donald and the rest of these guys.

    i can only hope that the raiders and chargers work out a deal with their cities, and wherever the rams end up, they get to keep fisher and company.

    the raiders are worth 797 million. the rams are worth 750 million. i could see that happening. the rams staying in st. louis and kroenke moving the raiders to los angeles. he might actually prefer that as i think the raiders have a bigger following in los angeles. although that would majorly bum out los angeles rams fans.

    i would trade up to the sixth spot to draft mariota. but i wouldn’t get into a bidding war with the eagles to do it.
