Sports and Rants with Brett and Pants : Eagles Desireable QB Situation

Besides the elite NFL teams, The Philadelphia Eagles have the most ideal quarterback situation. They are paying their QBs the second most out of any team in the league. Other teams around the NFL are jealous of how the Eagles have constructed their quarterback position for the future. Philadelphia has three quarterbacks that other teams will possibly want to start for their team at some point in the season. With Sam Bradford, Chase Daniel, and Carson Wentz the Eagles are positioned to have bright future.

Voluntary organized team activities is underway, and the spirits are high. Since Daniel has been in the same offense the past three years, he can teach it to Bradford and Wentz. Doug Pederson is bringing the west coast offense back to Philadelphia. Combining Bradford's skills with the west coast offense will propel the team. The future quarterback of Philadelphia, Wentz, can sit back and prepare for NFL competition. He will not be ready for a while, and he should not be rushed. Daniel will be ahead of Wentz on the depth chart. The Eagles success this season will be attributed to how tremendous their quarterbacks play.

Sam Bradford had every right to request for a trade, but it was completely irrational for him to think that another team would come to an agreement with the Eagles for him. Bradford says the trade request was his agent's idea; but he is just able to say that because of the large amount of money he pays his agent. He had his chance to seek a contract with another team back at the start of the off-season, but he decided it was best to come back to Philadelphia. Like the rest of the NFL, the Eagles did not think Bradford is a long term solution at quarterback. Number 7 for the Eagles is stuck in Philly, and he must prove to the NFL that he belongs in the league.

The Eagles organization is hoping their quarterbacks can get along. Bradford knows that he has to to play for his future. If he is a top 5 quarterback this season, Sam should not be traded. The City of Brotherly Love will be obsessed with Bradford if he can be a top QB. There is no rush to start Wentz. While Philadelphia wants to see their first round pick start football games, he is not ready. As Sam is learning the offense and getting ready to prove himself this upcoming season, he has to teach a rookie QB how to play in the NFL.
