Revisionist GM: would you have drafted Manual or Geno instead of trading for Smith?

[Deberg_1990]

All this 'hate on Alex' talk lately.

Well, what would you have done that would have made us better? Be honest

Go

[Hootie]

lmfao

2 2nd round picks for a team with Matt Cassel for Alex Smith was and will always be a steal.

This website will never understand the draft and the value of draft picks, it appears.

...and gee, revisionist history...would I want Manual or Geno? Two guys who were benched for Orton and Vick?

...

I mean, good ****ing Christ.

You guys are so dumb it makes me look like I'm a huge Alex Smith fan when I'm merely being realistic. It's insane. I am completely indifferent to Alex Smith and am totally bored with his style of QB play and his refusal to take shots, but at least I can still be realistic. My God.

[Hootie]

yeah

1.1 : Geno Smith

that makes sense

I mean, wow. When I joined this board in 2006, I thought to myself, "wow, we have some real smart football posters on this board."

Fast forward to 2015?

...it's down to a handful. Maybe. What a broken fan base, we are.

[Hammock Parties]

Mark Sanchez leading an offense that scored a shit ton of points in Philadelphia raises the question of whether or not Geno would have done better on another team.

It's looking like we should have drafted Richardson and picked up Bridgewater, though.

Instead we're just masturbating.

[Hootie]

Mark Sanchez won't start another down for that Eagles team. Wow. He certainly played well. Left a great impression, eh?

What a ****ing joke.

He was a less good version of Nick Foles, another QB who Chip Kelly refused to give a vote of confidence to.

Hysterical.

Sanchez had 1 actual good game, and that was against Dallas on Thanksgiving. After that, he was the total pretender / below average QB he has always been.

Didn't take teams long to adjust to Mark Sanchez, at all. Why? Because he's not good.

Alex Smith >> Mark Sanchez

and if you say otherwise, you're a moron. You just are.

Yep. Hindsight that would have been the best play with our 1st round picks and without Alex a couple of 2nds to add a few pieces.

[Hootie]

Teddy has potential. He might some day be a top 10 QB. Maybe. I'll put it around 30%. So if you want to gripe about passing on Teddy, I can at least follow you on that one. That might have been a good value pick instead of Dee Ford.

The people pining for Derek Carr? Morons.

They scored almost 30 points a game with Sanchez starting.

You're not making a lot of sense.

If there is a QB to take at our pick in the 1st round that is someone that has talent and potential but needs a year or two to sit, this will be the year to do it.

[Hammock Parties]

Oh, I didn't account for Sunday's game.

30.1 PPG with Sanchez starting.

I bet the Eagles have a camp battle between Sanchez and Foles coming up.

You should make a thread. "Mark Sanchez, Best Eagles QB ever?"

I'm making plenty of sense.

You're the one quoting one stat and acting as if Mark Sanchez is solely responsible for it ... which he is not. Not even close. Comparing the Eagles offense and the Chiefs offense is laughably hysterical. Chip Kelly runs an offense that is predicated on uptempo and scoring points. The Chiefs run an offense that eats a lot of clock and keeps the # of drives for both teams down below league average. In the Seattle game alone, the Chiefs had 2.5 offensive drives in the 1st half.

and the Eagles scored 11 defensive and special teams TD's this year.

11.

In conclusion, you're as dumb as you've always been.

If ifs and buts were candy and nuts...

Russel Wilson instead of Stephenson
Alshon Jeffrey instead of Jeff Allen


Deandre Hopkins instead of Eric Fisher. I'm assuming Albert would still be here if not for Fisher.

Joel Bitonio instead of Dee Ford.


We would be the favorites to win the SB right now.

Per Rotoworld:

Sanchez took over as the Eagles' starter following Nick Foles' season-ending Week 9 injury. At the time, the Eagles were 6-2. It was an ideal situation for Sanchez to earn a huge payday in free agency this spring, operating Chip Kelly's quarterback-friendly scheme for a playoff-bound team. But turnovers really plagued Sanchez, who went 4-4 as a starter and threw 11 interceptions against 14 touchdowns. The tape showed that he's a notch below NFL starter caliber. Sanchez will certainly attract interest from quarterback-starved teams, but the Eagles will likely be content to roll with Foles in 2015 while bringing in other long-term options for Kelly.

So, Sanchez took over a 6-2 team and drove them out of the playoffs because he can't protect the football.

...man, what a great player
