I think what he is getting at is his availability on game day without affecting Sanchez's ability to get in the game if (knock on wood) Bradford got knocked out of a game.

They changed the rule pertaining to the third QB

 

[JuniorNB]

Good for chip. Always nice getting a draft pick for someone who was going to just be cut anyway.

Well, couldn't Sanchez be the emergency, and if Bradford gets dinged and has to come out for a few plays, put Tebow in. Then if Bradford is determined to be out for the game, then put Sanchez in?

i thought that they recently added a roster spot and did away with the "emergency QB" thing?

They did, but it's always amazed me how very few people understood the old rule, and how few people realize how it's been changed.

Agreed. Also, pretty smart move by the Cardinals in that they get to try him out for a month and a half and if they don't think he will amount to anything, they can cut him at no cost.

 

[Insein]

Ok Shahbucks. Barkley was a bad pick.

 

[Thunderlips]

Ok Shahbucks. Barkley was a bad pick.

You think The Eagles regret that? I imagine that Barkley has mad regrets over not entering the draft his junior year...cost him millions.

It was obvious after watching for 15 minutes last night

Disappointed with the Watkins release... Not saying he didn't deserve to be cut, but now that's two 4th rounders and a 6th rounder we've cut bait with in a short time - we're going to need to be hitting on some of these young guys...

Well on one hand it's disappointing that they missed on this many picks but reality is that most teams miss on a bunch of picks. On the other hand, you have to give them credit for not hanging on just to prove themselves right.

My thoughts exactly.

@AdamSchefter: Eagles released QB Tim Tebow, per source.

 

[Deamon]

Wow. I know there was talk of only carrying 2, but I didn't really believe it. Wonder if this means we're after Manuel or RG3 now or are comfortably going to have Sam and Mark as our only 2 qbs which is kinda scary.

 

[Billy Bats]

Cool.

My first thought was RGIII. Could see Manuel as well. Should be interesting.

The Eagles are the most liberal team in the league. Can't have players quoting the bible in post game interviews.

Can Tim stick around to help count reps in the weight room?

 

[Ted Lange as your Bartender]

Jeff Maehl waived/injury

 

[Insein]

Bye bye Timmy. We're rolling with 2 QBs.

 

[Ted Lange as your Bartender]

Hmmm...

@Rand_Getlin: Multiple sources tell me the #Eagles have interest in Christian Ponder. Team always maintained it's about putting together "the best 53".

Drop one Christian, get another

 

[Insein]

Ponder? Whatever 3rd string QB.

It is still funny that people insist Chip wants running QBs though.

 

[Donnybrook]

I like how the NFL network is reporting the Tim Tebow cut with a breaking news scroll like it is equivalent to a national disaster.

If Tim Tebow has a thought, is it a Christian Ponder?

 

[Insein]

To them it is. Once he's out of the headlines, they have to go back to work.

Now they are going live to the Chip Kelly news conference.

If you ask some FORMER Eagles they may not agree that the old Chipper is a liberal dude :(

 

[Ted Lange as your Bartender]

So the Eagles cut down to 52 players, guess the Ponder rumors have legs

 

[Old Smiley]

I don't know how the link will work but....

Jeff McLane ‏@Jeff_McLane 2m2 minutes ago

Chip Kelly's reason for Tim Tebow not making the #Eagles in one picture:


edit: Yeah. didn't work. You'll have to get there from the tweet. (funny. it's there on the edit window)

 

[Deranged Hermit]

Did anyone else see the rumor that the Birds might be talking to Seattle about Cam Chancellor? Apparently the other team talking is the NYG.

 

[unckeyherb]

I've heard the suggestion on the radio tons. Never an actual rumor though

 

[need2know]

Pls be true

haven't heard much, but this would be exciting as ####. And we have a spot open for him....

 

[Insein]

Doubt its true. One of those what if type scenarios

 

[Ted Lange as your Bartender]

@AdamSchefter: Eagles claimed QB Stephen Morris off waivers from Jacksonville; he replaces Tim Tebow.

 

[Insein]

Woo hoo?

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Chancellor rumor is not true.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

@AdamSchefter: Eagles claimed QB Stephen Morris off waivers from Jacksonville; he replaces Tim Tebow.

From NFL draft scout. Doesn't sound like a Chip QB. Ponder seemed to make more sense.

05/06/14 - 2014 NFL Draft Quarterbacks: Stephen Morris, Miami (Fla.), 6-2, 213, 4.63...Morris has the arm strength and athleticism to deserve consideration as an NFL quarterback, but his physical performance was impacted significantly by an Achilles injury last year. Also in question are his decision making skills, especially under pressure, after poor performances and a 1-6 career record against ranked opponents. - Frank Cooney, The Sports Xchange 01/25/14 - 2014 Senior Bowl, Missed Opportunity: Stephen Morris, QB, Miami - Morris earned the nickname "Tin Cup" from some scouts at the Senior Bowl due to his ability to make the amazing throw but struggles with the routine passes commonplace in every NFL offense. Morris boasts a strong arm and throws the deep ball with touch but like the other two quarterbacks on the North squad (Boyd and Virginia Tech's Logan Thomas), he struggled with accuracy throughout the week. - Rob Rang, NFLDraftScout.com 01/21/14 - 2014 Senior Bowl: Another mixed bag from the North QBs on Tuesday...After an inconsistent practice on Monday, NFL scouts and coaches were eager to see the North quarterbacks on Tuesday, especially with a strong wind swirling around Ladd-Peebles Stadium. But unfortunately it was another inconsistent practice for Virginia Tech QB Logan Thomas, Clemson QB Tajh Boyd and Miami (Fla.) QB Stephen Morris. Morris showed improvements from Monday's practice with better all-around accuracy. He appeared to be taking a little bit off his fastball, which allowed him to better control the placement of the throw. Morris' delivery and arm strength appear effortless and easy, but he still struggled with errant passes and inconsistent throws. - Dane Brugler, NFLDraftScout.com

 

[need2know]

Yeah I think I would have rather kept tebow

 

[Billy Bats]

A shame they didn't keep Bailey on the practice squad, choosing Martino and Pratt over him.

The ten:

RB Raheem Mostert

LB Deontae Skinner

OL Brett Boyko

CB Randall Evans

OL Malcolm Bunche

WR Quron Pratt

S Ed Reynolds

DE Brian Mihalik

WR Freddie Martino

Chris Pantale - Pantale is the only player on the practice squad who wasn't previously a member of the Eagles. The 25-year-old tight end originally signed as an undrafted free agent with the New York Jets in 2013. He dressed for five games with the Jets in 2014. Pantale played for Boston College, which is where current Eagles quarterback coach Ryan Day used to coach. Pantale most recently spent training camp with the Chicago Bears. He measures in at 6-5, 254 pounds.

[Omniscient Deity]

I'll take Ponder over Tebow. Would take a chance on Manuel before either of them though. Ponder hasn't been the same since he "rekt" his shoulder.

Third QB is Stephen Morris.

 

[Bigboy10182000]

How about we make a pact to not discuss the 3rd again. Anyone with me?

 

[Kwai Chang Caine]

I second that.

 

[ShaHBucks]

Man, I'll never understand what Chip see in QBs.

 

[Donny Loved Bowling]

The Bailey snub is really puzzling. Must be more to the story.

 

[Deamon]

Man, I'll never understand what Chip see in QBs.

Right, his bradford move that you dissed so hard looks like a disaster. He's looked awful so far.

 

[Deamon]

I second that.

Third that. We spent enough time talking about a 3rd qb (myself included) all offseason. Strange how it was interesting following those 2 battle it out and neither makes it and we grab that guy though haha.

 

[Insein]

Which lends credence to that conspiracy that Chip only brought Tebow in here to distract people from scrutinizing Bradford too hard allowing him to get prepped for the season.
