Who cares? He gives the Eagles their best chance to win this year. If, by mid-season, they are 2-6 and look horrific then they make a move. If not and they are competitive, he stays as the starter. I really don't understand why everyone got up-in-arms in the first place. Also, I don't think he was worried that he couldn't beat-out a rookie because he wasn't competing with a rookie. He has zero competition; he is the starter. He wanted a chance at long-term security and felt he wasn't going to get that chance; with the investment the Eagles made in Wentz, Wentz WILL be the starter within 2 years. Had they drafted a rookie in rnds 3/4, I think Bradford felt he could compete and beat-out that guy as there would have been no significant investment in that guy (no more than the 2nd they gave up for Bradford, anyway), so he signed the deal. He played his hand and he lost. Moving on...
