I've seen and heard all the banter back and fourth on both of the QB's and honestly I'm not sold on either.I think both have big questionmarks going forward in this league (especially on this team) and we have too many holes to fill to be competitive.I'd entertain a very friendly trade for a team that could use the services of a QB they highly covet without breaking the bank.We give up:1st overall pickEagles give up:20th overall pickSam BradfordConnor BarwinNow some of you may be saying why would we want Bradford? And/or "this trade sucks, I want a FRANCHISE QB!"Keep in mind, neither one of these QB's is a sure thing. Leftwich err Winston may not make it on the field, much less off of it. He has a slow windup and a tendency to throw into coverage. This will lead to a lot of interceptions. Nevermind the off-field problems which could ruin his career. And with all of the scrutiny of the NFL lately, he will be on a VERY short leash. Not a good mix for Tampa.Mariota may end up a HOF. But he would need a coaching staff in place that would help to groom him. He certainly isn't ready now unless he's plugged into a system he's familiar with. Everything else about the kid says he should have success. He has the right attitude, smarts, decent arm and a quick release. This is why a team like the Eagles would do this deal.Now for why we would do the deal: We have a desperate need for a pass rusher and OL help. There are some potential guys in the draft, but hardly any Simeon Rice or Joe Thomas class guys. Without pressure, Lovie's system does not work. Period. Connor Barwin had 14.5 sacks last year & 62.5 pass disruptions. He's GREAT in the community. He's a young 6-4 264 3-4 LB that will make a perfect 4-3 RDE playing next to McCoy. http://media.philadelphiaeagles.com/media/151409/barwin-connor.pdf Bradford IMO can be a good-great QB or he can be used in a trade.In the end, we get a starting calibre RDE ready to play day 1we get a 20pick which should translate to a starting calibre LT/RT and either a starting QB or a starting LG.RDEQB/LT/G/C/RBLT/G/C/RBI'd say that is a pretty good haul for improving our ball club at the end of the 1st round and leaves us open to draft BPA in the rest of the draft.What say you?
