Through three games, it’s safe to say Bradford hasn’t been the shining gem Chip Kelly hoped he was purchasing this summer.

During his first two starts against Atlanta and Dallas, Bradford made some bone-headed mistakes and ended up throwing four interceptions.

Thankfully he didn’t need to make a lot of plays with his arm in Week 3 against the New York Jets, as Ryan Mathews and Darren Sproles carried the Eagles to victory. As it was, he finished with just 118 yards and one touchdown on 28 attempts for a miserable 4.2 yards per attempt average. Although he did manage to finish without a turnover, his play could hardly be called competent.

With Mark Sanchez waiting in the wings, it’s not hard to imagine Bradford will lose his job if he puts together a couple more poor performances in the coming weeks. The NFC East is WIDE open right now, and Kelly’s reputation is on the line big time in 2015.
