Ineresting QB thoughts-IgglesBlitz

[Eagle60]

One really interesting nugget is that the Eagles worked out QB Thad Lewis, most recently of the Buffalo Bills. Pat Shurmur worked with Lewis in both St. Louis and Cleveland so there is a connection to him. The reason this is interesting is that it makes you wonder why the Eagles are looking at a #3 QB? Could this mean that Matt Barkley is trade material?

I don’t know any more than you, but I could easily see the Eagles trying to deal Barkley. He is dying to get a chance to get on the field. Nick Foles is the Eagles starter for the next thousand years so that doesn’t bod well for Barkley.

It is possible Mark Sanchez could be a long term solution as the backup. He’s only here on a 1-year deal so that will have to be sorted out next February when Sanchez has to decide if he is comfortable as a backup or wants to go start somewhere.

Barkley doesn’t make sense as a long term player because he’s not going to be comfortable as a backup. He wants to play. If you can deal him now to a QB needy team like the Rams or Bills, do it. We’ll see if it happens. No idea how likely it is, but the move would make a lot of sense.

Or maybe Houston? I just read where their QBs had a combined QB rating of 61 for the preseason.

That would suid me fine, Popper. Barkley does nothing for me. If we can get a bag do peanuts for him, go for it. Heck, throw in Dion Jordan and perhaps we can get the dry roasted kind.

Like Barkley as a #3, not a #1. I like the depth, so keep 3.

Barkley is young and still developing...the guy had an excellent college career and has shown progress this TC/preseason. I like the fact Barkley wants to start rather than holding a clipboard. I'd keep Barkley for sure over Lewis especially since Foles is still undefined as a franchise QB and Sanchez is only here on a 1 yr deal. Sanchez will want to start again and so I could easily see him moving on if this year goes well for him.

That's pretty much how I see it too VF.
