Kelly has already signed a couple more lousy back up QBs since releasing Tebow.
H cant be that stupid not to know Bradford is injury prone and Sanchez is just another butt fumble away from infamy.


Apparently, Bradford doesn't think he's all that injury prone:


Report: Sam Bradford and Eagles no longer talking contract


Sam Bradford had a good enough preseason to raise the expectations for himself and the Eagles.

It was also apparently good enough to embolden him to bet on himself.

According to Ed Werder of ESPN, Bradford and the Eagles are no longer engaged in talks toward a short-term extension, since his “ preseason success changed dynamics.”

Translated: If he can do what he did in the preseason for 16 weeks, he can make a lot more money.

Bradford was 13-of-15 for 156 yards and three touchdowns in four drives with the Eagles’ first offense.

Of course, that is a significant risk for a guy coming off a pair of torn ACLs. But in a league where there are far more teams that qualified starting quarterbacks, Bradford could be setting himself up for a huge payday.

It would be hard for the Eagles to justify a big deal now, but buying sight unseen also carries the risk of giving up Nick Foles and a second-round pick for a one-year rental. Sam Bradford had a good enough preseason to raise the expectations for himself and the Eagles.
