Punching Bag Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 And he was a terrible GM who no longer has that power in SF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Jeez. Two years out of kallage and he's reaching for his binky/security blanket. Philly fans must be delighted he's obsessing elsewhere now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanForever19 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Damn - Tennessee must have REALLY been sure about Mariota. I don't know what's worse: offering that deal or turning it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Damn - Tennessee must have REALLY been sure about Mariota. I don't know what's worse: offering that deal or turning it down. I want to say turning it down, but that means their QB would be Sam Bradford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I want to say turning it down, but that means their QB would be Sam Bradford. But 2 1st rounders and Fletcher Cox....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I want to say turning it down, but that means their QB would be Sam Bradford. i mean, they could have either packaged bradford elsewhere or opted for someone else and used FA/trade to obtain a player. 2 firsts, a second, the eagles best d player and bradford could go a long way in acquiring talent.

P51 Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 They could have flipped Bradford to Cleveland for a 1st (http://espn.go.com/blog/cleveland-browns/post/_/id/12609/browns-trade-offers-for-bradford-never-included-manziel), imagine the possibilities: 3 1sts, and 3rd (I would demand that be a 2nd) and Fletcher Cox.... Adding that to what they already have would go a long way to rebuilding. If I thought Mariota was the next Steve Young, then no. Otherwise, Yes.

Ask the Rams how that worked out Tenn made the right call One of the most overrated QBs of all time IMO. Had a few great seasons, but really only started for 8 seasons, that's it.

Nostradumbass Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 I agree. How do you turn down that offer? Because getting a shot at a potential franchise QB is infinitely more important than having Fletcher Cox and a bunch of 1st round talent on the roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
