Mark Sanchez, Philadelphia Eagles
Let’s be realistic about Sam Bradford’s health. He isn’t exactly the poster child for the invincible man.
Over the course of Bradford’s five-year career, he has only played in 49 of 80 games for which he posted an 18-30-1 record. The Eagles reached deep when they traded for Bradford, who at the young age of only 27 has already undergone two back-to-back ACL surgeries in the past two years.
Health is truly the concern when it comes to Bradford. Most people wouldn’t bet money that Bradford will stay upright and play in all 16 games this season. This means at some point in the season, we’re likely to see backup Mark Sanchez calling the signals in Philly.
Bradford was impressive during the preseason, but his drives were extremely limited and we will need to see more.
And, just for those who like to keep track of stats, Sanchez actually completed 64.1 percent of his passes during his eight starts with the Eagles last season. If Bradford ends up sidelined, Sanchez will get the nod.
