As an Eagles fan, what am I rooting for?

Chip has us in a conundrum. Sam Bradford is in the last year of his contract, and is a free agent after the season is over. 1) If Sam Bradford continues to play poorly, then obviously we thank him for nothing, and start our hunt for a new QB....setting us possibly to a "rebuilding" era (Yes, I now RG3 is out there, and would prefer to look elsewhere). 2)If Sam Bradford turns things around, and starts to play like Chip wants/expects....then it is rumored that Bradford/agent want around $20 million/year...with around $45 million guaranteed. I don't want that kind of long term cash hanging on his bad knees.

Obviously originally I was hoping to win the Super bowl this year, then let Bradford walk. But we are lost offensively, and I'm not sure we can win 8 games this year.

    First of all, Chip Kelly should have never traded Nick Foles for Sam Bradford. Make no mistake. Foles will never be a top 10 QB in the NFL. However, he is still better than Sam Bradford and less injury prone.

    Regardless of who is under center for the Eagles, that offensive line is just horrible. The Eagles could have Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, Ben Roethlisberger or Jesus Christ for that matter playing quarterback. If the O-line can't block for him, then it won't much matter who is under center.

    The Eagles problem starts and ends at the O-line. Against the Cowboys, they failed Sam Bradford and Demarco Murray big time. As soon as the ball was snapped, a Cowboy linebacker or defensive linemen was in the backfield. Especially when Bradford handed the ball off to Murray.

    Who knew after 2 games Demarco Murray would only have 11 yards rushing?

    Sam Bradford isn't without blame. He could play better. The Eagles biggest priority is to address the O-line. If they can't, then whoever is starting QB next year won't matter. The Eagles defense is playing their guts out. Too bad the offense can't stay on the field.

    You're rooting for them to win the Super Bowl, no matter how unlikely it seems.
