Philadelphia Eagles

Sam Bradford

So far, Chip Kelly’s offseason trade experiment to acquire Sam Bradford in exchange for Nick Foles appears to be quite a dismal failure. If Bradford were as healthy as he was when he entered the league, things might be different, but he just looks done.

Kelly’s offense would benefit immensely from a mobile quarterback such as Kap versus Bradford and his frightening attempts at scrambling. We all cringe whenever he’s taken down, wondering when one of his knees is going to blow out again.

Kaepernick is certainly more durable as proven by his ability to play through five games with a should injury when he passed for 1,615 yards this year. And there’s no doubt he is an excellent runner when it comes to escaping pressure in the pocket, which is something Bradford physically cannot do.

 

If Kelly sticks with the Eagles in 2016, which he has claimed he is committed to doing, then he should start scheming now on a clever trade that would land Kap in Philly next year.
