Problem is, their raking in all the benefit, and we're taking all the chances.
Our season is riding on this guy. We gave a 2nd round pick for him, too much IMO for a QB that was released, and resigned after he got no bites. They had no leverage.
But forget that, let's say a 2nd rounder IS fair for him. THen that's what it should be. That 2nd rounder is worth more than what Philly invested in him, and should be more than enough to compensate for him playing for us.
Either way, we're losing a 2nd rounder next year. Fummbles 40 times, we lose a 2nd rounder, throws 68 picks, we lose a 2nd. Doesn't play a single game,a nd we lose a second rounder. On top of that, we lose his bonus, his salary, and we're currently (looks like anyway) not pursuing any other options at QB. We're passing on QB's for this guy, and investing A LOT in him next season. WHy the hell should his success give the eagles any MORE? They got more than a fair deal for a 3rd string QB (get over it, he was listed as 3rd string QB, that's what he has to be valued at). 2nd rounder should have been enough PERIOD>
Now, if he's a top 10 QB you won't see me complaining. But come draft day, I'll have a bad taste in my mouth. The condition should go BOTH ways. We give them a 2nd rounder for a top 15 QB, or a first rounder for top 10. You don't see a clause in there that says the pick will be demoted to a 3rd or 4th rounder, if he's a total flop do you?
The risk is all miami's. They lose nothing in this trade. THey have their QB, they gained at least a 2nd rounder. His success here is contingent on what MIAMI does from now on. So why should they share in the wealth? Before we give a team the abliity to share in the wealth, they should be ready to share in the possible failure of this QB. It's rediculous that this could become a first rounder.
