Bacon, Eggs and Eagles – QB Situation Ranks 27th In NFL

By Anthony DiBona

Despite trying to trade up in the draft for his “dream quarterback” Marcus Mariota, Philadelphia Eagles head coach Chip Kelly failed to do so and is now stuck in a sticky situation at quarterback. Despite the addition of Sam Bradford via trade, re-signing Mark Sanchez and signing Tim Tebow, the Eagles have the 27th overall quarterback situation heading into the 2015 season…which is pretty bad. But on the bright side, Philadelphia does have some youthful weapons on the offensive side of the ball to surround whoever their quarterback may be. All that and more in this morning’s serving of Bacon, Eggs and Eagles!

NFL’s Best QB Situations – Patrick Daugherty of RotoWorld.com

"27. Eagles, Sam BradfordIf you think this is too low for the Eagles’ quarterback situation, I can tell you someone who doesn’t: Chip Kelly. The league’s first 30-minutes-or-less general manager spent the spring trying to redecorate his quarterback room, culminating in an extraordinarily-public pursuit of Marcus Mariota. Chip never came close to landing his college signal caller, leaving him with Sam Bradford, Mark Sanchez and figment-of-your-imagination Tim Tebow. Bradford will start Week 1 … if his twice-torn left ACL is healthy. That won’t even be the hard part. Bradford is a 58.6 percent passer, with an equally uninspiring 6.29 YPA and 79.3 QB rating to boot. Bradford was never set up for success in St. Louis, but those are troubling numbers for any quarterback with 1,760 career throws. There’s still untapped potential in the No. 1 overall pick of the 2010 draft, but we don’t know if he’s the answer in Philly any more than Kelly does. Kelly’s actions are louder than any words when it comes to evaluating the Eagles’ quarterback situation."

Eagles age inventory, Part I: Offensive skill positions – Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com

"With the NFL’s free agency period and the draft in the books, NFL teams will continue to tweak their rosters, but for the most part, we can make educated guesses at this point on who each teams’ projected starters will be. With that in mind, let’s take some inventory on Eagles’ players’ ages, broken up by positional groups, starting with the offensive skill positions."

"The 2015 season hasn’t even started yet, but it’s not too soon to look ahead at the Philadelphia Eagles’ salary-cap situation for the 2016 campaign.Chip Kelly’s offseason moves this spring will play a major factor in the team’s financial flexibility heading forward, as he’s dished out several major contracts yet passed on re-signing notable star defensive players entering the final year of their rookie deals."

"T-22. Philadelphia Eagles: 129 points (2 players)Overview: Philadelphia grabbed a Hot 100 player in each of the first two rounds, but the Eagles’ third-round selection, Texas LB Jordan Hicks, was not ranked by Brandt. The draft spots of WR Nelson Agholor (drafted 20th) and DB Eric Rowe (47th) generally matched where they were ranked by Brandt.The players (points)No. 29 WR Nelson Agholor, USC (72)No. 44 DB Eric Rowe, Utah (57)"

Every NFL Team’s Best, Worst Offseason Move – Russell S. Baxter of BleacherReport.com

"Best: Signed RB DeMarco MurrayWhen you opt to trade away the NFL’s leading rusher in 2013, it doesn’t hurt to add the guy who totaled a league-high 1,845 yards on the ground this past season. The team also added Ryan Mathews to the backfield and already has versatile Darren Sproles as well, but Murray is the headliner.If he can remain relatively healthy again, there’s no reason to believe he couldn’t win a second straight rushing title."

While this isn’t necessarily Eagles’ related, it is football relates and I personally found it hilarious. Considering “footwork” drills and videos seem to be the new hot commodity among NFL players.
