Dennis is just going to enjoy life as an NFL QB. Dude has 2 Super Bowl rings, has made some real money and will make this final roster. Does he end up starting/playing? Who knows, his comfort with Chip could reignite an offense we've seen before or he could simply be that key piece for Chip in installing his offense. I'm rather hopeful for him but I won't get my hopes up.rockthief wrote: Chip is going to help Barkley adjust his attitude and his physical fitness.

Re: NFL Draft Thread
Sounds like Foles may be on the trading block with the Barkley pick. May do it shortly after the draft or after a couple mini-camps before fall camp starts.Duck07 wrote:Dennis is just going to enjoy life as an NFL QB.

that does not sound at all wise, or likely.

Re: NFL Draft Thread
Most Philly fans actually think its writing on the wall for Vick. I think it won't happen until Fall Camp though whomever gets cut.greenyellow wrote:Sounds like Foles may be on the trading block with the Barkley pick.

Re: NFL Draft Thread
i don't know what kind of cap hit philly would be looking at, but vick's the obvious/expensive piece of the pie that has no long term value to the organization. i think he and dixon are much likelier to be cut loose than foles. i've kind of assumed dixon would be a mini-camp body/camp casualty all along.
foles was kind of decent last year, and chip has a long standing full blown man crush on him.

Re: NFL Draft Thread
regarding the Carolina player Chip has a way of finding players other coaches overlook. The man is something else.

I love how some of you are bashing Matt's character (I can understand bashing him as a prospect), when Chip has just gone on record saying that Matt is an unbelievable competitor and has great character.

I admit that I don't understand the Barkley pick at all for Chip's offense. I assumed Chip would want a guy who could run.
Barkley's tweet is ridiculous.

Re: NFL Draft Thread
Chip was saying that in the NFL, repeatable accuracy is very key, which he thinks Barkley has. He also said he wasn't wedded to any one way of doing things, just wedded to getting points any way possible. Brought up Ricky Santos at UNH, a guy who didn't run much but ended up with 125 TD passes.Phalanx wrote:I admit that I don't understand the Barkley pick at all for Chip's offense.

Re: NFL Draft Thread
Wasn't expecting that but he kind of became expendable with Doug Martin there, although you'd think they would want another RB capable of giving him a breather. I don't see Demps doing anything for them (sounds like he wanted to be somewhere in FL to do his track training as well.)duckgrad99 wrote:Blount traded to Patriots.
